@@shannonwall5639 thanks Shannon! I’m actually at a few sales this morning and have snagged several goodies including a free box of about 20 packs of playing cards! I love thrifting!
I love the sound of a pair of good, sharp scissors, and some weight to them as well!
@@creativedesignsdiyfromblue8902 yes!!
Yes!!
Really pretty duster. Love your flower and stripes. The colors are perfect.
@@diannehebert481 thank you. Thank you!
I love how you upcycled with multiple items.
@@kellyratliff3473 thank you!!
I can't get enough of these upcycles! Love it!
@@harmonywithnature89 awww. Thank you for saying that! I appreciate it
Beautiful duster and what a great combination of fabrics! ❣️❣️❣️
@@karoleenascottage thank you!!
I think it’s cute as can be! I would definitely wear that!❤️
@@debbie845 aww. Thanks so much!!
We always called that stripe pattern ticking (it was used for the covers of pillows and mattresses when I was young). Mom used to wear dusters. I called them house dresses. It wouldn't have taken much more fabric to have made your duster into a dress. To me it is a jumper dress. I like hidden pockets best.
@@arvettadelashmit9337 thanks for watching!!
Yep, she called it ticking as she described it. Love the duster! ❣️
Beautiful lace from the linen. ❤ Like how your project turned out. ❤
@@kellyratliff3473 I appreciate that!
I love this! Please do more videos like this!😍
@@sewstyle thank you so much!
Oh my! I absolutely LOVE it! I adore upcycling and especially using men's shirts and denim 😍 so glad I found your channel ❤
@@FionaMarie6879 aww. Thank you so much! Welcome to my channel
I just learned
about the”burn test” to identify fiber type. Natural fabrics like linen, silk and cotton make ash and synthetics melt. Please don’t take my word for it, just check out some RUclips tutorials for specifics. Great thrift flip! Thank you!
@@bonniebonnie7149 good to know!!! Thanks
ALSO!!! Take care with silks, especially the lightweight ones. I wanted a softened burnt edge on a piece of silk for a wall hanging, and GOOD THING I moved my base of operations from the carpeted dining room to the top of my kitchen stove, because the silk went "FWOOMP!" and burning shards plummeted down to the floor when hit with lighter...
@@Judith-wq2jp ohhh no!!! Thanks for the heads up
@shabbyroadstudio A better way to deal with lightweight silk is to use a candle, and hold a stretched edge of the cloth delicately to the flame. Then reposition your hands to singe the next part of the edge.
great video! I love your style of just "go with the flow" . I hope you will continue to create upcycled clothing tutorials!
@@SuZ3945 thank you so much… yes, I hope to if people enjoy them!
Great little duster. I loved how the color came out. Nice job Lisa!
@@susanmorales8675 thank you Susan!!
Adorable duster! You have amazing ideas! Love watching you Lisa ❤ 🎉😊 Thank you
@@caryldeherrera8544 thank you Caryl!! I’m glad you’re here!!
I upcycle as well. You come up with really great ideas and materials for your projects. That's a talent!
@@ranchochihuahua thank you so much!
All of the fabrics are so dreamy!❤❤❤
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR PURCHASE!
Hi. I love the composition. Awesome. Thank you.
@@conniesmith9989 thank you so much
I LOVE ❤️ this! You are sooo creative! ❤
@@nynurse2 thank you !!
You can fold a sheet, with the hem edge matching, into four or eight layers and measure/cut straight across.
@@paulinelarson465 good to know. Thanks
Looks fabulous
@@cinnamongirrl1705 thanks !
I absolutely LOVE this! I live your "fly by the seat of your pants" creativity...😊 i am the same way! That is how i create stuff i make. In sewing youre fantastic at putting patterns, prints, textures and materials and
Trims all together in an eclectic way that makes your project totally wearable and 1 of a kind unique...and very desirable, i do want to make a duster like this using your idea, you have me wishing i was getting the duster! Lol 😊...i hope i will have as good of taste as yours to put one together, oh and skill, it definitely requires special skill to do...wish me luck! Awesome work and i Love the vintage nostalgic look of it too! Love it, love it, love it!!!❤❤
@@juanitacrocker2474 thank you Juanita. You are sweet. I’m sure you’ll do great. Just do it
Super cute!
@@jodibuckmister7402 thank you so much!
I really like the color combinations and the design. I'm short (1'1/2") so I'd shorten the lengths from the armhole to the waist and then to the hemline. The armholes are too large, the pockets will be a bit tighter, love the crochet work and the denim additions
@@MBGC240C thanks for watching
i would have folded over in half to get the other side same as the one you just cut ? i think it would be easier
@@bevcrabtree6519 thanks for watching !!
Was waiting for you to restyle the collar. Such collars are too masculine for me, when upcycling a men's shirt. 😊
@@kristinjacobsen3417 this one just wasn’t doing it for me
Love this. But being the person I am, sometimes adding to much, I think adding the lace you used in front, across the top of the pockets would have been cute. And maybe replace the bright white buttons with dark blue ones to add a little more blue. These are just my thoughts. What you did was great too.
@@sherbearb.1593 well thank you for watching!
I think I will put the base garment on my pinnable mannequin and work from there. I can't visualize the 3 dimensions of a solid body shape while fabric is flat on a table.
@@paulinelarson465 thanks for watching
I always do a test dye
@@deniseneel2834 that’s awesome!! I tend to live a little more reckless than that!! LOL
Great job! 😍👍 Thank you so much for the cool idea!
@@TakieModnye thanks for watching!
For you pockets I would have put a ticking fabric strip on the top to keep the pockets deep and add contrast.
@@karenbohling4449 thanks for watching
Love it!
@@Cavaughan57 thank you
job well done
@@tracyclark7560 thank you Tracy!
Oh and by the way, im a 66 year old granny lady so this would be perfect for me!
@@juanitacrocker2474 haha. Granny lady! Love it.
Cute!❤
@@juliegolub2602 thank you!!
Beautiful!
@@creativedesignsdiyfromblue8902 thank you !!!
I enjoy watching you make this. Very nicely done. But how did you get such a good angle when filming? Are you wearing the camera around your neck
@@intuitivegina no. It’s positioned above me on a tripod
@@shabbyroadstudio well whatever it is you did did it very well thank you for answering me
Bravo a l’imagination ❤
@@sylviecrevier7624 thank you!!
Синий вообще не нравится, лучше бы коричневый. А ткань с цветами и кружево очень красивые!!!
Идея хорошая! 🔥👍
Thanks for watching
What about sleeves
@@agnesbain2931 it’s sleeveless 😊. It’s a duster
Да вот, как то не понятно...
@@user-yv5nw5mk4p what does this mean in English?
Is there a reason you aren’t ripping the pocket stitches in order to get the layout you wanted?
@@decaffsilver2411 I’m not sure I understand the question?
@@shabbyroadstudio sorry, I watched the rest of the video and you answered why you didn’t want to seam rip the zigzag stitch around the pocket in order to get the full lace on, sorry it didn’t take the dye. Maybe an idea for you when using the bits that won’t take the dye, have you ever thought about making a fabric paint with the dye and textile medium, it transforms into permanent, flexible fabric paint. You could mix up your own and use a paint sponge or brush to apply it. You need wax paper under it to keep it clean under that lace until it’s dry…air dry 24 hours, then heat set… I just read it said permanent on most fabrics.. it would be a trial/ error to see if it would bring you a wider option for adding warmer, aged patina, or heck, add metallics… no rules in expression through art.
@@decaffsilver2411 I’ll look into that thanks
the buttons are still on the wrong side. how would you hide this.
@@conniebowen8890 I’m not sure I understand the question
Your lace in back, must be synthetic. There is a different Rit dye for synthetics.
@@texasgigi3684 oh. Nice. Didn’t know that. Thanks.
Love what you did with the denim cuffs around the neck it gives me baseball shirt vibes 🧵🪡 genius 🧵🪡
@@cragglesharvey2774 thank you!!
