Same
Her hairline amazes no baby hairs, a good solid line, & a good forehead & so much hair. I’m jealous
Notthat it matters but I think she might shave the sides. In older videos, she def had some baby hairs.
she did get her hairline lasered, she said on a podcast episode, but as mentioned above, doesn’t really matter like she has such amazing thick hair right to the hair line and i am JEALOUS 😍😍
Her hairline used to be different if you go back like 2 years ago. I think she had it lasered
You are perfect just the way you are 💕
Rebecca McAuley y’all getting played by this lady for ya money
I really watch every single one of these with sincere interest while also knowing there is a zero% chance I’ll ever do anything like this ever
"am i gonna get upset about this cause i wasn't planning on it but i'm very flexible." *ME ALL THE TIME*
Same lol
They fit wonderfully, your top fits exceptional 👏
Never knew jean needles was a thing.
And now if I ever become a rockstar; I am now Jean Needles!
When I first started watching you It was like ‘Megan the dancer’ but now it’s ‘Megan the person who can do anything she puts her mind to’ 👏🏼 Love the content 🥳
I love the intro and the transition to the thrifted jeans. It sounds like "hey I have a bleeding finger. which reminds me, I'm gonna show you how to thrift flip"
I love watching Megan do this, she gets most of everything right but can't really explain why
(I'm a fashion student)
Cool....
“Am i going to get upset about this? I wasn’t planning on it but i’m flexible” had me dead
Megan: *Talking about unfortunate event happened to her*
Me: Classic Megan 😂
😂 literally
Thank you for the video. I have found it really helpful. I hope you do not mind but I have a few tips that I feel maybe helpful for anyone new to tailoring their clothes.
First one is to always wash & dry your item of clothing before tailoring. Jeans, I would recommend washing & drying 2-3 times. You may think “what’s the point?” But doing this will give your clothes the chance to shrink in the wash. And jeans can take 2-3 washes from new before they stay at a consistent size. Even 2nd hand clothes are worth putting through the wash at least once as some second hand items maybe brand new or almost brand new & have only been washed once or twice. Better safe than sorry.
Secondly take off the back loop, so you can reattach it so that it offers additional support should you wish to wear a decorative belt.
Thirdly, when doing the legs of trousers, when you have added safety pins to work out the size you want, it is worth turning them right side out & trying them on again. This is especially important if the person who the trousers are for suffers from swollen feet & legs, one leg could be wider than the other. Should you miss this step, when you have sewn them together & try them on properly, you may find one leg may not fit very well as it’s too tight while the other side is too wide.
I find denim sewing needles & jeans thread a life saver. You can also get a sewing machine foot that helps with thicker sections of fabric. And a curved sewing ruler can help with creating & marking lines for the top sections of trousers to the groin area. I hope this helps & thank you for the video. Stay safe & well everyone.
This is a tip for anyone with a splinter or small shard of glass that you can not remove safely & causing more pain & damage to the area. But first, if it’s something like glass or metal etc, contact a medical professional for advice like your doctors surgery or in the UK call 111.
Get a plaster, preferably a fabric one (needs to stick very well to your skin) big enough to cover the area needed. If it’s a finger that needs a plaster cut each end 3/4 to plaster dressing pad to make it easier & more secure when wrapping around your finger. Get a small amount of castor oil & apply that to the plaster pad making sure you avoid the adhesive. Then apply to the splinter & secure the tape down. Leave for a few hours & remove plaster. Depending on the depth & size of the foreign body, the longer it may take to come out from under you skin. Apply a freshly made up castor oil plaster & repeat until the splinter is out. If this does not work before your skin starts to heal over the splinter, contact your doctors office or 111 in UK to ask for further advice. I know this is not a comment on your work, but I thought seeing as you were helping to give advice I would offer some back. Castor oil is great stuff. It helps your eyelashes grow a little thicker for a fuller look. And helps your eyebrows become fuller quicker if you have overly plucked them over time. Plus a small brushed in coat over eyebrow powder helps set the powder & keeps eyebrow hairs stay in the direction you want them. I always keep a bottle at home. There are many uses for castor oil & you can find lists online really easy.
watching thrift flips and make up transformations have been a lifesaver throughout this quarantine. i’m still terrible at both, but it is what it is!
Next time, save the original raised butt seam, and reapply/hand sew it over the new seam. It will give the jeans the look of the original, and you won't notice as much if they are a bit uneven.
She couldn't because there was no space for the seam since the packets were joined - not a nice look...
Is it just me , or does the pockets being really close together after sewing bother anyone else ?
ya i think i'd probably end up moving the pockets over a bit but she really did the thing for the most part! good work.
One thing i often do is taking small parts in on all around the jeans and that prevents having to take them in all at one at the but crack and moving the pockets too close together
@@couch_philosoph3325 If it's only one size too big for you, you can probably get away with taking in only the back, and the pockets won't be too close together. But if you're reducing the jeans by multiple sizes, I'd do what you're describing.
"Because we went so deep, we don't have a bad crotch time."
Indeed.
Megan: Really get in there
Also Megan: this whole thing is just self exploration
Thank you for making learning fun. All the "self exploration' isn't needed for what i have to do to my jeans but the principles are perfect for me. Seriously, you crack me up. Take care.
I'm stealing that line. "I wasn't planning to get upset about this, but I can be flexible." Thank you.
I’ve been wanting to alter a pair of jeans MONTHS but I’ve been too scared to ruin them! This is literally the video I’ve been waiting for!!!
SEE I had all these plans that I was going to sew my own clothes and design/customize my wardrobe, and then I realized it was really freakin hard, AND actually more expensive to buy fabric and make clothes than to just BUY made clothes. BUT this I THINK I can do, I can take some goodwill/thrift clothes and tailor/alter them. Im re inspired
"Am I going to get upset about this? I wasn't going to but, I can be flexible"
*Literally my life's motto*
because of you i have asked for a sewing machine on multiple occasions and i don’t regret any of it
You are an absolute DOLL! Is there anything you can’t do? You’re amazing. 🥰 Thank you for your hilarious videos!
Megan is so good at all this kinda stuff, I always forget that she taught herself.
i started teaching myself how to sew *purely for this reason.* THANK YOU!
Tell me more, tell me more! Megan, keeping it real from the get go with her injury 💯 also, I loved how this video was edited!! So good!!
Yeah got lots of jeans that don't because the one thing I don't like to try on while thrifting is blue jeans. I have thicker waist and no butt or hips, so this will be helpful on altering them to size. Thanks for sharing and bless to you and all in the days to come.
No sewing intro has ever made me instantly subscribe until this one.
Could we get a podcast with Tony again? Yall have great energy together and the stories are hilarious. I would've commented this on a podcast but I can't comment since I listen on spotify.
Story time & Jean thrift flips
Best of both worlds 😍
YAY Megan Batoon time. Cheers from Ecuador.
“Safety machine? Nothing is safe with needles and me.” Love how it rhymes
Aren’t wearing other pants we love a grammar queen 👑
Same here my grammar flew out the window after school
Never knew that magnet thing for hemming existed but thank you!!! Ordering ASAP lol 🙏🏼🙌🏼
never clicked on a notification so fast .. HUGE thrift enthusiast! I just watch stuff about it.. don't have the budget lol
“So instead of going to URGENT CARE, I’m gonna show you how to thrift flip jeans 😁”
Yes Megan😂
i just got a white jeans online and it came super huge so i'm gonna try downsizing using your method!! i downsize a jeans before but it didnt went too well so i hope this works this time!
I just wish I had the patience and skill for this. This was a great transformation
I have no idea how I got here but this is the most charismatic and adorable person I’ve ever seen ever wow.
There's a trick where you cut off the bottom hem and sew it on to the bottom of the jeans after you cut off the excess so you can keep the distressed bottom. It's how the buckle hems their jeans.
The amount of thought you put into tailoring pants makes me rethink everything I've ever sewn
The way Megan said "alright, let's go fix my finger" 🤣
Excellent and I bought the magnet seam thingy
This tutorial is heaven sent
For the hem, you can use the original hem (called euro hemming)
But if doing your way you should double fold so the raw edge isn't showing.
This was the kind of video I was looking for...Thanks a lot 😀😀
Watching this at 2am and when Megan said "Trepidatious" my brain immediately started hurting. 😂
Your personality in this video just makes it better .. Keep going :-)
Greatest video ever? Yes! 😍😍🔥🔥
"set yourself up for success. how do you do that? get the right material"💞😎
LOL you had me cracking up throughout 🤣🤣💀. I hope your thumb healed up :D!
Omg this is the most entertaining alteration I've seen
“Or you don’t care, which... I don’t know what that’s like but it sounds liberating.” Lol same.
but now i need a makeup tutorial. you are RADIANT
OMG, this video was so helpful.
I have no intention of tailoring anything, nor do I understand anything about sewing, but I’m still watching this because it’s Megan.
👏we 👏have 👏been 👏waiting 👏for👏 this
Subscribed instantly after that intro 😆😆
You got the back lines to match up REALLY well!!! 8:24
Great video! It was funny and informative.
Finishing the pants before going to get the finger fixed is the most Megan thing ever
12 minutes of Megan giving herself a wedgie
Your eyebrows are actually amazing.
“Glass of shard”
i was looking for this comment 💀
Omg I'm like 11 seconds in and I love this! haha
Really helpful video!!! :) thank you
“Because I didn’t want to compromise the integrity of the rip.” I love it! Lol
I was eyeing your earrings and then i noticed the left one isn’t hooked 😂 Classic Megan 😂😂
I dont do half the things megan does but I love watching her videos. Been out here since meganbytes 32
So really get in there, this is all about self exploration.
I love everything you do.
It's 1AM and im watching this dying LAUGHING 😂 ... and learning 📝
"without thinking about the repercussions of my actions" - every aries ever 😂
what a chaotic angel
Typically, when you're tayloring a piece of clothing, you want to take in an even amount of fabric from both sides of an item of clothing ( like the pant legs) other times, you may want to put in darts (probably what I would have done for the waist). That being said, good job. They look good
I love this video😁😁 very useful
I have no idea about tailoring and this is alot easier than i thought it’d be 😂. Tedious yea but not too difficult
Intro on point 🔛👌
“Tell me more! Tell me more!” 😂😂😂
You need to take care of your thumb! Video can wait! Your health is more important! Love you Megan!! 🥰🥰
i would adjust the pocket placement, if possible. They touch in the middle and that's weird. But i'm so amazed.
This video should have been boring but somehow you made it super fun and engaging and I'm floored. I also can relate to this process and learned a lot. Thanks.
nice stitching those jeans. you have the patience many don't 😂😂
3 minutes into the video and I'm already dying laughing. Definitely subscribing 😂😂
When my dad was young he got mad once and punched some glass and he thought he got all of the shards out and that specific knuckle grew a lot and he just figured it was keloid scar tissue but around 20+ years later he was washing his car and since his skin was all soaked it was fragile another large chunk of glass poked out of his skin for him to see and he just casually pulled it out of his knuckle and showed me
🤮🤮🤮
Oh my
FINALLY someone who says JOANN FABRICS correctly !!!
*"MYYYYY THUMB"*
*Ouch*
*I should go to the hospital*
for 12:42 minutes straight
You remind me so much of Halsey and you weirdly kind of have matching tattoos, you have the red Ace and she has a red queen
I literally thought I was the only one who thought that
Theye actaully cousins. It says on one of their bio page.
@@humanbean1424 wait really?!
Human Bean i don’t think they are 😂
I love Halsey and thought the same thing. No wonder I ended up watching the entire thing
Guys !! I LOVE Yours program , Very Healpfull , Hellow from New York , Henry .
This is a perfect video after last weeks, when i lose all this weight I'll need new jeans.
Thank you for the butt shots. I appreciate the fan service. Also, this was the most chaotic tailoring video I've ever watched and I've watched a lot of them lol.
ur vocab is so ELEQUANT
Imma run some errands, drop some stuff off that i wanna get rid of then im gonna see if the fabric place we go to got needles and thread for jeans
🥰 Love your personality!!! New sub by the way!!! 💞 God bless and stay safe!!!
I have lots of jeans that need to be altered but this looks like so much hard work 😭😭
Megan is so pretty! 🤩
Very entertaining. 👏
U are hilarious! I'm gonna try this.. thanks!
I had the same thing happen with my phone and a piece of glass went right into my thumb. It came out a few days later while cooking. So certainly with time it'll force its way out :)
This is so great👌😂
