The bold print reminds me of a 70'S style I think some type of baby doll dress would be super cute
oohhh...yes! I like where your idea is at!
Years ago I made a jumpsuit out of a gray and white ticking fabric. I wanted something different for the sleeves. I used just the sleeve pattern from the Snow White costume. I made the puffed sleeves with red inserts. They turned out really cute!
A person could adapt the pattern from the short sleeves to something longer, using the same technique of making the inserts.
You mentioned wanting a pop of pink (with your first fabric with the pink flowers.) I think the snow white sleeves would be really cute for that pop of pink insert.
Also you had a purple striped fabric with alternating solid stripes and floral stripes, Etc. Some kind of "reveal and hide" technique of pleating would be good for that to emphasize the various stripes.
I have a book called "manipulating stripes," and you can cut them on the bias or up and down or crosswise and manipulate those stripes by pleating.
I remember seeing how they had made epaulets out of just a short panel of those manipulated stripes.
What fun it was for ME to fantasize vicariously over YOUR fabrics! Always enjoy your videos!

Thanks for watching Mary! That jumpsuit sounds so unique, how inventive of you! Also might need to checkout that stripes book because it sounds fun!
You're my girl! I do the exact same thing. My average creation costs me about $1-5. I don't even bother with mock ups because my fabric is cheaper than the cheapest muslin. I just made a really pretty blouse out of two vintage pillowcases (incidentally they were handmade too), culottes and pants from a cotton curtain panel and linen tablecloth. And next project is a dress made from a cotton shower curtain and vintage pillowcases. Not only is it thrifty but I love the challenge of fitting the project to the fabric. Like what am I going to create with THIS, rather than the other way around where you're looking for the perfect fabric for the pattern you've already picked out.
I had almost stopped sewing some years ago because it was sooooo expensive and now I have a new creative fire because cost isn't standing in the way.

I love this and your whole philosophy!! I agree, it opens up so much more creativity sometimes :)
Fabricland, a store that used to carry wonderful quality fabrics, and was bought out by JoAnns who carries no quality fabrics, used to have a bumper sticker that said “The person who dies with the most fabric wins.”
Haha, I want that bumper sticker!
@@MaddieLynn I framed it and put it on the sewing room wall!
I've been traveling the southern US since December and I love a good thrift store find. I recently thrifted a bridal gown for $15. 😮 Its David's Bridal so its polyester but I thought it would be fun to refashion. Its too small in the bust but I have already taken apart the seams and I am looking forward to choosing a style. I'm only 5ft tall so... I have plenty of length to play with.
How fun!! That sounds like such a cool refashion project :)
This year I'm sewing some shorts and a summer dress. I've sewn a few quilts and what is fun is lap quilts you can start out with the center and maybe make the word LOVE in fun colors then add pieces around it.
Love the sewing projects on your want to make list💕
@@MaddieLynn I 'm sure all yours will be really cute.
the dress at 28:30 is gorgeous, i love the embroidery 🪡 good luck to you this year, i can’t wait to see what you create 💕
Thank you! Excited for all the projects💕
The quilt pattern is a Dresden Plate.
Fabulous! Thank you :)
I have the yellow and pink bedsheet too!
No way!! Ahhh, love it
As well as thrifting, I haunt the sales at Target and Kmart for larger sizes. I take things apart for the fabric.
oohhhh...YES!! Brilliant :)
I was trying to thrift a fitted sheet last year, and each sheet was $12.99 at the thrift stores. I went over to Costco, and the entire queen size sheet set was $12.99. Might as well buy new and save over 50%.
Wow, that’s crazy how expensive it was!! Store bought sheets are also a great alternative to buying fabric off the bolt
I have a pic of a cute dress for that blue fun fabric. I will send it to you.
Thank you!!
The quilt is called Dresden Plate.
Probably one of my favorite quilt patterns💕
It’s hit or miss in thrift stores. You have to go all the time because they don’t often have goodies like the beauties you have.
Going frequently is definitely the trick! Some thrift stores just suck sometimes…it really is hit or Miss

I shop sales and last chance bins at the fabric stores .. I dont have nearly as much luck finding sheets as others... I cannot use microfiber at all. It is itchy on my skin...
I'm not a fan of microfiber either! Last chance fabric is another great way to source fabric!
The quilt is called a Dresden Plate.
Ahh....thank you!! Knew someone would know :) Need to get a book of quilt patterns so I can learn all the names
@@MaddieLynn it is a lovely quilt! It likely was made in the 1930s or 40s based on the fabric I could see on the screen.
Dresden Plate?
Ahhh!!! Your AMAZING! Just googled that and your correct💕
wow that's really good, those names are hard to remember, sometimes I think they just made them up
I do think that you have to bear in mind that not everyone has access to the kinds of thrift stores that you do. I live in the UK and our 'charity shops' just don't carry fabrics/linens, and the linens that they do carry are very minimal and not remotely appealing.. particularly in the town I live in. I've found fabric suitable for sewing clothing out of once in the 3 years I've been sewing, and I look every time I go in. And I don't mean that I'm being fussy, they're just not vintage, not nice prints or colours, and not nice composition either. If I did want to find the kinds of lovely vintage styles that are frequently found in thrift stores in other parts of the world, I'd have to go to a vintage shop or somewhere like eBay, and believe me, I'd be paying a lot more for them than if I just bought new fabric online! So maybe consider differing accessibility and regions before asking other sewists why they're 'wasting their money'.
Thanks for the feedback! My videos are inspired by sharing my life and experiences and I understand that not everyone is going to relate.
I luv yr video. Mind talking a little slower? Thx.
