This is going to sound “sappy” BUT, I retired to care for my elderly mom. I was the perfect candidate because I’m a “homebody”. It took a toll on me mentally & physically. She passed away at 96. I was exhausted! It took awhile to get my energy back & take finally care of ME! I now have 4 granddaughters under 4 😅. I dusted off my sewing machine, started watching sewing videos which led me to you! I have found a new lease on life no kidding!!! I’m finally in my happy place 😘. Thank you thank you thank you❣️
Your my mom was so lucky to have such a wonderful and dedicated daughter, bless you! You deserve enjoyment and happiness and I'm so excited that you will find that in creating! Best of luck, my friend.😇😇😇💖💖💖
Jannette, I share your feelings for Traci, her artistry, and her authenticity. OH! She's a gem, a jewel, a diamond shining brightly... freely giving her genuine kindness and calmness and talent to all of us. The amazing thing is she has faith in us. Having been dormant for years myself, I have recently dusted off my long unused sewing machine, fired it up, and revved the foot pedal. So much upcycling to do, so little time to do it.
That doesn’t sound sappy at all. I hope you are blessed for being there for your mom when she needed you the most💝 I took care of my parents and my disabled brother. It took a toll on me mentally as well. It was the most difficult and rewarding thing ever. I dusted off my sewing machine in honor of my mom who taught us girls to sew. I never appreciated that gift until she was gone. I’m so grateful to have found Traci as inspiration. She is absolutely the best and I’m so thankful she loves to share her talents with all of us.
My aunt took care of my Granny for more than 10 years. Granny had Alzheimers. I can understand how exhausted you must be. And grieving a completely different ballgame for caregivers. I experienced that with my own Mom. And yes Traci is a blessing. Happy sewing!
Traci, I left an abusive husband 6 months ago with my daughter. We ran for our lives and left literally everything we owned behind. So we've had to start over completely. Watching your videos has helped us get through some tough times while we are trying to heal. I started an Etsy shop doing upcycled clothes and art to help support us. You are the one who inspired me to create! My daughter has Autism but she can do hand embroidery very well.. She embroiders the logo patches for my designs! Thank you for that! We love watching for what you will make next! God is using your gift to inspire others. ❤..Lori and Elina.
What is the name of your Etsy page? As a woman who also took her kids and left everything behind, I'd love to support you and share your page with everyone I know.
@@tmyershandmade978I think she was asking the Etsy address if the mama with the girl who has autism. But I was interested to know if you still sell, so I got a bonus answer! Thank you So much for blessing us with your genius capacity for creating beautiful works of art! I feel so inspired to get started on a sewing business to support my daughter on a mission. How do you write on your clothing? This is my first video of watching you, and perhaps you answered elsewhere... But that's what I was going to ask. Again, thank you so much for sharing your creative gifts with us! I especially love all the lace!❤
I have a pair of inspired-by-you jeans on my ironing board right now!!! They’re covered in roses, and I’ll add lots of other goodies, too. You have LITERALLY changed my life!
I used to be so creative like you. Somewhere my bad health became my focus. I need to reach inside and find the old me! Thank you for sharing your creativity with us! 💜🫧
Bless your heart. ME TOO!! I’m trying desperately to return to my extremely creative artistic self again. This lady has been an amazing inspiration!! 😊❤
@@amyh.b.khalil8519 The most important thing is to take the blow 👊 Even if life has knocked you down and you can’t get up, it’s okay, you can lie down for a while and then get up again. It’s wonderful that you never stop looking for the path to your goal! If a person wants to find a solution to a problem, he will learn from a stone. And Tracy built a path, and we walk with her, each towards his own goal... I really want everyone to do well!
I agree. I am 58 and have some health issues that need to be addressed quickly. This is a wonderful channel. It really has inspired me to get my creative juices flowing. Much love and mad respect!❤
Ah, 25 minutes of pure bliss 🤩✨. Your jeans (all of them) are amazing. Looking forward to your next jeans video. Thank you, Traci. You are an absolute gem 💎 👋😊❤️
So much fun to see the jeans on the rack separate from the video. A shopper's dream. I couldn't choose a favourite; liked them all. Even for non-sellers, this was an exciting video. ❤
Oh you have brightened my day again! ❤ You are so refreshing in this dreary and strange world Traci. What a lovely and extremely talented person God bless you ❤️🙏😃
Hi Traci, ty for posting. I've been sewing clothes, doing alterations, & creating altered jeans since 1973 but you have taken it to a whole different level. I love your style, tips & tricks! I've been seriously wanting to do it again & add them to my Flee booth with other vintage things that are there now. Please know that I respect other artist & how they create. I believe life is art & we are all the same in one aspect, but our creations are always different. From one kindred spirit to another, again ty for sharing.
You are absolutely the best ever! Thank you so kindly for all that you create and share with us! I have been thrifting and collecting so I can begin. Because once I start I won’t stop!! Thank you again! And, your creations are amazingly beautiful!! Love your inspiration!!
I love (liked) the video even before watching BECAUSE you my dear lady are a pure TREASURE! THANK YOU just doesn’t seem enough to say for all you GIVE to us in your videos! I love ❤you Traci!
This comment section has become a soothing and even safe place for a lot of people to express similar experiences. I love seeing that happen organically over a shared passion and a host that inspires that interaction. Thank you Tracy 💜
That means a lot to me, thank you. 🤗 I was actually thinking about that today, after reading comments on this feed. Such a wonderfully supportive community, I really feel honored that people feel safe enough here to share their experiences and connect with each other.❤❤❤❤
@@tmyershandmade978 sooo I've had my indoor booth for a few months and it's finally starting to do a tad better. Lol I'm even selling my upcycled clothing which is where my passion really lies. I just wanted to thank you again and to brag just a little 🤣😁
You are such an inspiration, & the video at the end❤AmAziNg❤ I will be selling at two markets in 2024 and those jeans are going to sell like hotcakes. 💐💐Thank You for all the time you put into the videos that you share with us💐💐
Thank you 😊 for sharing. I myself do a lot of alterations and diy. I used to work for Goodwill. You have gave me some ideas 💡!!!! Keep up the amazing work on your RUclips channel. Have a wonderful day and stay CREATIVE ☺️ Robin N Otis -Clayborne
WOW I just pulled out a pair of jeans to add bell bottoms to when I saw this new video posted 16 minutes ago! Right on time! I plan to sell these at a local vintage shop here in NC. Thank you so much. Im hanging on your words. Robin in NC for Lavoie Boho.
Actually a very useful review of the products. I’ll probably save it in a separate playlist, so that when I get ready to do some handicrafts, I can immediately look through it and decide what exactly I’m going to do. Thank you, Tracy!
Wow, Traci, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience! And all of your beautiful pieces! I love the videos with slide shows so much! I also find it so touching to read comments from others whose lives you've touched with your generosity of spirit. Thank you so much! I've been so motivated and inspired to make bags and other upcycled things! My spirit has been renewed and refreshed with this creative inspiration! Thank you!
Sending YOU so much love and appreciation. I am making this my year to began selling. I am recovering with a broken foot now. I have several of your up cycles in my wardrobe and have gotten so many compliments ....LOOK OUT when i recover...my mind is on creative mode all the time. ❤❤❤❤
Yay! An Upload from my favorite RUclipsr! 💕I can't wait to watch your video when I get home tonight! You look beautiful! I love your outfit! I just did a line of lightweight overalls for my Etsy shop for Spring! 💕💕💕
I just love your approach to upcycling! I am really struggling to break all my old seamstress measurement and sewing rules!!! Thank you for helping me learn to just let go, cut and sew ❤
Wow! Your creations are amazing!!! You just popped up in my feed. My mom was an incredible seamstress & like you could damn near make/sew anything. I unfortunately did NOT inherit this talent (try as she might LOL), however I've scrolled through your channel & I'm thinking there are a few things I could probably do. I'm a very tiny woman (4'11) and it's so hard for me to find jeans (or pants for that matter) where I don't have to take off 15000 inches (I'm exaggerating of course) but you get my point and it costs me $20-30 dollars to get them just hemmed (jeans)!!! Now with your tutorials I may of just found a few "options" to my dilemma. Appreciate your talent & giving your "secrets" away. Thank you!
Love every single thing. Just a reminder of how much I love your videos. Awesome I would absolutely wear them all… and the tips on how to sell is an absolute bonus plus. amazing video. Thanks so much for sharing and as always I am never disappointed.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💕💕💕💕💕💕
Your work is beautiful! I upcycled a pair of jeans to sell after watching one of your jeans upcycles a few months ago. They turned out so cute that I would only part with them for a good price. I am going to giving listing them a try. If they don’t sell for what I list them for No Sweat!! ❤❤
SO GOOD !❤ inspiring me, for sure.. i did this at 19 .it was the 90s and i was obsessed baggy streetwear vibe & started decorating & selling denim. . i started ebay 4 years ago with intention of upcycling denim coats/ jeans but ended up getting sidetracked just selling ,who knew ebay was so much work?lol . this video is my sign ..im about to go to goodwill and grab a pair of jeans or 2
Thank you so much! This is extremely helpful as a maker and purchaser of customized jeans. I always learn so much from you. Thank you for all you share. You are a treasure.
You inspired me to redesign some jeans. I get compliments and asked where I bought them every time I wear them❤. Thanks so much for you tutorials and wonderful inspiring content. ❤️❤️
Omg, Traci! Thank you so much for sharing this helpful & valuable information. As always, your videos are so inspirational! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!🩷💫
Dear Traci, I really can’t thank you enough for your incredible generosity of spirit in sharing “everything.” I watch your videos regularly and always learn something new every time. You are my biggest creative inspiration in my retirement. I’ve bravely made some fun things because of you and want to do more. In fact… because of you, I am inspired to connect with a kids charity organization here in Mexico to teach kids to sew and create with items they already have. My husband and I live here five months a year, and while he’s fishing, I sew and create. So why not share all that fun with kiddos and encourage their creativity, and pride… So I want you to know how YOU have inspired me, and that your generosity in sharing your talents will be shared beyond what you may have thought. Yay You, Traci ❤ All the best to you, Robin
@@robinlovesdiy omgosh, that is the most wonderful compliment, thank you so so much! The impact you would have on those children would last a lifetime! I love that idea so much🥰🥰🥰 Let me know if that comes to fruition.🥰❤❤❤❤
@@tmyershandmade978 I will be sure to let you know. Our time in MX is coming to a close, but I’ll plan on the details while back home and communicate with the group to get something in place for my return next fall. By the way, just for a chuckle … a couple weeks ago I was walking down the street and saw a pair of ripped discarded jeans. Of course they were calling my name (or maybe your name? 🤣) Much to the chagrin of a couple girlfriends, I picked them up, took them home and washed the daylights out of them. Then I made a couple little crossbody bags to carry our water bottles in. The gals thought I was nuts, until they saw the final product that is. Ha! I’m not as dumb as I look eh?! Ya gotta have a water bottle carrier when wandering around in Mexico. 🤣 I watch your videos regularly, and I love all your tips and tricks and creativity. Best to you, Robin
Thank you for sharing how to explain your product. That has been very difficult for me. Your tips definitely help. Thanks! I appreciate your creativity!
Great !!! ❤Cool !!!! 💞Thank you Tracy!!!! ❣I've been sewing for a long time.....but I sold different things in my offline stores.....now retired, I have something to offer online!!! I’m still learning and I’m afraid to offer, I think that they won’t like my creations! Your lessons and videos fill me with confidence! You inspire me!!! I 🧚♀love you and your creations! It's fun and unusual!🌹🌼💐
Aww best of luck to you! Please, don't let fear of what people MIGHT think hold you back. It's common to feel that way and I still have those fears. 🤗❤❤❤
You have been very busy. I am not allowed to wear this type of beautiful up-cycled garments to work. So, I only need a few to wear on my days off. You do beautiful work. Thank you.
I just found your channel when I googled ways to upcycle a white shirt. I love it so much! I can't wait to watch more of your videos and get new ideas and inspiration. All of the jeans are fantastic and I'm in love with that tapestry jacket!!!
Thank you for sharing your creations with us and inspiring us! I get so many complements on the pair I made inspired by you! Every.single.time I wear them! ♥️
I’m so glad to hear you sell your creations, your talent amazes me and I’m sharing your videos, I love your designs and style, I wish I had your talent, I have a sewing machine, but don’t know how to use it. You are a very talented woman !!!!
You always bring such a spot of brightness to my day! I love your videos and tutorials and appreciate the selling tips. Your creativity is amazing and inspiring! Thanks for what you do!
Not a seller, but theres always something to learn. So adore your videos you have such joyful engagement with the camera and teach wonderfully. Always a thrill when new videos come out. Hope you never tire of this. I was gifted a fancy brand basic sewing machine decades ago and never really engaged with it. Now retired after viewing your tutorials it’s time take notice honoring your passion and artistic inspiration and go for it. That first scissor cut might be the hardest. There are so many ways to be creative with fabric. Hoping you never tire of this and achieve all the YT top influencer rewards you can. Hoping too you might have some more ideas for men’s shirts, flannel shirts, sweaters, pieced tops hats, hoods, fingerless gloves in the future. They might seem appropriate for the multigenerational user wear and gives us the ability to reinvent our existing wardrobe into a patchwork of wearable one of a kind art. Appreciate and respect you and your amazing accomplishments.👏🏻
Hey, this is amazing.. Love what you're doing.. I've been up cycling my clothes all my life now, but never tried to sell anything of that, thanks for sharing.. ❤❤❤
Tracie thank you so much, you are my inspiration. I found your channel about a year ago and I’ve been hooked ever since. I wait for the next video to come out. So many ideas and I love them all.
Acabo de descubrirte gracias a un reel en Instagram, me encanto los vaqueros expuesto pero me encanta esa chaqueta blanca q llevas puesta... Me gusta éste estilo 😊🤩
I absolutely love your style and your videos.... I actually bought a bunch of stuff to make a purse and jeans... But I haven't taken the leap yet, lol, I'm a little intimidated bc I haven't sewn in years, I have a sewing machine but hardly ever use it (it was given to my by my aunt when I started making primitive dolls) these days and haven't made clothes since Home Ec in middle school 😂 I'm so afraid I'll cut the jeans open and never get them closed properly! I'm also so afraid I'll break the needles or machine doing bags. I did buy the perfect bag and a bunch of belts and stuff to add... I just have to GO FOR IT, lol! My goal is this summer! Thank you so much for making all your tutorials available for anyone to do, especially since shut downs sent me for a loop losing my job and then my career (Healthcare is no longer an option with certain mandates in my state), so I'm finding having to go back to school at 50 😖😩 lol, and unemployment only goes so far these days. I do upcycling to make ends meet, so thank you again for everything you put on YT that's acceptable for all. I'm sure you could put these behind a pay wall and do very well. Please don't 😂😂 but I understand you very well could. Is there a reason you don't use women's jeans at all? If I wanted a tighter fit, especially in the bottom, lol, mine already disappears in baggy women's jeans, I'm afraid it's be worse in men's.
You can use whatever jeans you feel the best in. I like men's, because I like a more relaxed fit. I'm different in a way than you are, I want my rear-end to disappear lol! 🤣❤❤❤❤
Omg!! Where you been all my life lol 😅 i love your unique pieces and style. Im watching all your videos as i speak. You have inspired me to go get a sewing machine and start creating 😊❤
I sold antiques on eBay when they first started, I found that a great description was priceless. Like you I tried to answer every question before it was asked. Do you have a tutorial on the drapes behind you? I love those!😊
Hi Traci, I love all of your jean upcycles so this video is like Christmas!! Thank you so much for sharing so much detail with us. I know it's more work, but can you show us a tutorial on patching a pair of jeans by opening up the leg and closing it back on the inside?
❤ thank you again for sharing such valuable information … you are very generous and so helpful I feel so blessed to have found you Hopefully you will be here for a long long time ❤
Hi Traci. Instant new subscriber here. Too much valuable information here to let get away. Thanks for sharing your amazing craft with us. I'm completely new to this, and it's scary to think how much time I'm about to spend watching your content. Keep em coming!
Thank you so much for the great slide show! Each and everyone are stunning and very creatively designed. I love them. Thank you also for sharing your knowledge. It´s fun to whats your doing and gives inspiring to me and surely to others aswell. 💗💗💗🥰🥰🥰
What an excellent, creative, informative video! Thank you so much for sharing the things that worked for you in advertising your treasures! Very useful! You are beyond talented! I’ve got serious jeans envy! Can’t wait for the 3 pair upcycle coming soon❤️Time for me to get busy and create some jeans for myself so I can stop coveting yours😂 😊 Again, thank you for sharing! I’m so jazzed and excited to create thanks to you!❤❤
Fascinating pieces!!! Very inspiring and pushing me to step out of my comfort zone. What does your price range look like from the most basic of upcycling to the most elaborate? You have put great time, effort and thought into your work. Beautiful!!
Thank you so much for this very informative vid! I have been tying with the idea of making and selling garments and accessories and this really was helpful!

Your work is beautiful! I upcycled a pair of jeans to sell after watching one of your jeans upcycles a few months ago. They turned out so cute that I would only part with them for a good price. I am going to giving listing them a try. If they don’t sell for what I list them for No Sweat!! ❤❤

Omg, Traci! Thank you so much for sharing this helpful & valuable information. As always, your videos are so inspirational! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!🩷💫
Always, my pleasure!!!🤗💕💕💕💕
Dear Traci,
I really can’t thank you enough for your incredible generosity of spirit in sharing “everything.”
I watch your videos regularly and always learn something new every time.
You are my biggest creative inspiration in my retirement. I’ve bravely made some fun things because of you and want to do more.
In fact… because of you, I am inspired to connect with a kids charity organization here in Mexico to teach kids to sew and create with items they already have.
My husband and I live here five months a year, and while he’s fishing, I sew and create.
So why not share all that fun with kiddos and encourage their creativity, and pride…
So I want you to know how YOU have inspired me, and that your generosity in sharing your talents will be shared beyond what you may have thought.
Yay You, Traci ❤
All the best to you,
Robin
@@robinlovesdiy omgosh, that is the most wonderful compliment, thank you so so much! The impact you would have on those children would last a lifetime! I love that idea so much🥰🥰🥰 Let me know if that comes to fruition.🥰❤❤❤❤
@@tmyershandmade978 I will be sure to let you know. Our time in MX is coming to a close, but I’ll plan on the details while back home and communicate with the group to get something in place for my return next fall.
By the way, just for a chuckle … a couple weeks ago I was walking down the street and saw a pair of ripped discarded jeans. Of course they were calling my name (or maybe your name? 🤣) Much to the chagrin of a couple girlfriends, I picked them up, took them home and washed the daylights out of them. Then I made a couple little crossbody bags to carry our water bottles in. The gals thought I was nuts, until they saw the final product that is. Ha! I’m not as dumb as I look eh?! Ya gotta have a water bottle carrier when wandering around in Mexico. 🤣
I watch your videos regularly, and I love all your tips and tricks and creativity. Best to you, Robin
@@robinlovesdiy omgosh I love that story and your vision!!!🤗💕💕💕💕💕
Thank you for sharing how to explain your product. That has been very difficult for me. Your tips definitely help. Thanks! I appreciate your creativity!
Glad it was helpful!🤗💕💗💕💗💕💗
Thank you for generously sharing your skills and knowledge Traci. I LOVE your creations!
My pleasure, thank you so much 🤗💕💕💕
Great !!! ❤Cool !!!! 💞Thank you Tracy!!!! ❣I've been sewing for a long time.....but I sold different things in my offline stores.....now retired, I have something to offer online!!! I’m still learning and I’m afraid to offer, I think that they won’t like my creations! Your lessons and videos fill me with confidence! You inspire me!!! I 🧚♀love you and your creations! It's fun and unusual!🌹🌼💐
Aww best of luck to you! Please, don't let fear of what people MIGHT think hold you back. It's common to feel that way and I still have those fears. 🤗❤❤❤
@@tmyershandmade978 Thank you Tracy!😘🌹🌼🌺
You have been very busy. I am not allowed to wear this type of beautiful up-cycled garments to work. So, I only need a few to wear on my days off. You do beautiful work. Thank you.
Thank you so much 🤗💞💞💞
I just found your channel when I googled ways to upcycle a white shirt. I love it so much! I can't wait to watch more of your videos and get new ideas and inspiration. All of the jeans are fantastic and I'm in love with that tapestry jacket!!!
Aww yayyy! So glad you are here!!!🤗💖💖💖💖
I love all of the jeans. My favorite is the denim overalls. Thanks for sharing😊
Thank you so much!🤗💕💕💕💕💕
Thank you for sharing your creations with us and inspiring us! I get so many complements on the pair I made inspired by you! Every.single.time I wear them! ♥️
Love that!!!🤗❤❤❤
This is a great video Tracey! I love ALL these, inspiration for a year lol You make a great model also! 💞
Aww thank you so much!🤗💕💕💕💕
I am thinking of selling some of my creations very soon. The advice you gave us here is extremely useful. Thanks
Thank you so much 🤗❤❤❤
What a Beautiful talent you are sharing with the World. May God bless you, over and over again!!! 🥰🤗
That is so sweet, thank you 🤗🤗🤗💖💖💖💖
❤❤❤❤ OMG!!! I LOVE them ALL!!! THANKS for sharing your information! ❤❤❤❤
My pleasure!🤗❤❤❤❤
I’m so glad to hear you sell your creations, your talent amazes me and I’m sharing your videos, I love your designs and style, I wish I had your talent, I have a sewing machine, but don’t know how to use it. You are a very talented woman !!!!
Thank you so much! I don't sell anymore, but I did for years.🤗❤❤❤
You always bring such a spot of brightness to my day! I love your videos and tutorials and appreciate the selling tips. Your creativity is amazing and inspiring! Thanks for what you do!
I appreciate that so so much, thank you 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗❤
Not a seller, but theres always something to learn. So adore your videos you have such joyful engagement with the camera and teach wonderfully. Always a thrill when new videos come out. Hope you never tire of this. I was gifted a fancy brand basic sewing machine decades ago and never really engaged with it. Now retired after viewing your tutorials it’s time take notice honoring your passion and artistic inspiration and go for it. That first scissor cut might be the hardest.
There are so many ways to be creative with fabric.
Hoping you never tire of this and achieve all the YT top influencer rewards you can.
Hoping too you might have some more ideas for men’s shirts, flannel shirts, sweaters, pieced tops hats, hoods, fingerless gloves in the future. They might seem appropriate for the multigenerational user wear and gives us the ability to reinvent our existing wardrobe into a patchwork of wearable one of a kind art. Appreciate and respect you and your amazing accomplishments.👏🏻
You are so sweet, thank you so much! 🤗❤❤❤❤
Hey, this is amazing.. Love what you're doing.. I've been up cycling my clothes all my life now, but never tried to sell anything of that, thanks for sharing.. ❤❤❤
My pleasure 🤗❤❤❤
Tracie thank you so much, you are my inspiration. I found your channel about a year ago and I’ve been hooked ever since. I wait for the next video to come out. So many ideas and I love them all.
Thank you so so much 🤗💖💗💓💞💕
Acabo de descubrirte gracias a un reel en Instagram, me encanto los vaqueros expuesto pero me encanta esa chaqueta blanca q llevas puesta... Me gusta éste estilo 😊🤩
Thank you 🤗❤❤❤
I absolutely love your style and your videos.... I actually bought a bunch of stuff to make a purse and jeans... But I haven't taken the leap yet, lol, I'm a little intimidated bc I haven't sewn in years, I have a sewing machine but hardly ever use it (it was given to my by my aunt when I started making primitive dolls) these days and haven't made clothes since Home Ec in middle school 😂 I'm so afraid I'll cut the jeans open and never get them closed properly! I'm also so afraid I'll break the needles or machine doing bags. I did buy the perfect bag and a bunch of belts and stuff to add... I just have to GO FOR IT, lol! My goal is this summer! Thank you so much for making all your tutorials available for anyone to do, especially since shut downs sent me for a loop losing my job and then my career (Healthcare is no longer an option with certain mandates in my state), so I'm finding having to go back to school at 50 😖😩 lol, and unemployment only goes so far these days. I do upcycling to make ends meet, so thank you again for everything you put on YT that's acceptable for all. I'm sure you could put these behind a pay wall and do very well. Please don't 😂😂 but I understand you very well could.
Is there a reason you don't use women's jeans at all? If I wanted a tighter fit, especially in the bottom, lol, mine already disappears in baggy women's jeans, I'm afraid it's be worse in men's.
You can use whatever jeans you feel the best in. I like men's, because I like a more relaxed fit. I'm different in a way than you are, I want my rear-end to disappear lol! 🤣❤❤❤❤
Love 16 and 17 and 18 I love bell bottoms and your style so groovy ❤
Aww thank you so much 🤗❤❤❤❤
I love your artistry! I definitely want to DIY my jeans! I’m tall so it’s hard to find the right lengths! 😍😘❤️
😍💖❤💖❤💖

Hi Traci, I love all of your jean upcycles so this video is like Christmas!! Thank you so much for sharing so much detail with us. I know it's more work, but can you show us a tutorial on patching a pair of jeans by opening up the leg and closing it back on the inside?
Pretty much in all my jeans videos I open the the legs and sew them back together🤗💕
