You're the Master Traci!!!! You are young enough and have the figure to wear your beautiful creations❤ But, you have helped me revamp my closet by showing how to add longer sleeves, add pockets, and insert extra material to make clothing comfortable again. I'm having fun...and some frustrations...LOL...but its how I learn. I'm 74 and letting my boho/free spirit finally come out😊😊
Thank you for the AWESOME tour of the closet. White bottoms, skirt, pants, or shorts, are ALWAYS a 'look in the mirror before you leave the house!' kind of thing. Love your honesty and just saying what we all know or need to hear. ❤
Your colors and styles are me to a T! I’m frugal and it almost hurts to throw good things out that could be made into something smashing. And yours are that! Thank you so much for sharing ❤️
Traci, what you do is kind of like junk journaling! This keeps stuff out of the landfill. What beautiful treasures to be discovered through remaking. Thank you for the inspirational ideas❤
You are so adorable! I love your energy and of course your style is awesome. Thank you for sharing all your creative creations! And congratulations on your marriage! 🎉
I love this video! So many creative ideas. Thank you so much Traci for all your sharing. This video actually makes me feel more relaxed about what I'm trying to create. I have tons of ideas and fabrics and laces etc. but fear holds me back. I am starting to just do it. I'm feeling more relaxed. With what I'm doing. 🫶🫶🫶
And how fun was that!😄 You didn't need to try things on for us - just going through your closet was fun enough. Loved every idea, colour, and story attached. Enjoyed every second. Thank you. Thank you!❤
This couldn’t have come at a better time! I’m getting ready to go on vacation and even though I make tons of clothes to sell I realized as I’m scouring my closet I realized I’ve neglected myself because I never seem to have time. I kept hitting mental blocks trying to decide what my personal style even is anymore 😜. Casual cute is definitely my style after watching this. Thank you so much for deciding to post this. 🤗💕💕
Thank you so much for this awesome video, Tracy! I love everything about each outfit you updated to make a wonderful summer wardrobe! I am inspired yet again! So excited to see your wedding dress! Congratulations 🎉😊
This was fantastic! I have a ton of mismatched stuff in my closet and you’ve given me the inspiration to look at them differently! And if they don’t match get out a bottle of dye. Like you, I have a ton of white pants I don’t wear so why not dye them. Also I’ve begun hanging outfits together for ease of dressing and I’ve found that it encourages me to wear things I’ve overlooked. I think it would be great for you to do this type video every so often!
Traci, you’re a master at turning old work duds into soft feminine garments! I love your channel. Congratulations on your marriage and Happy Summer !🌸☀️
Love handles? You are so stinking cute I can’t imagine you look bad in anything. I love your videos and creativity. Another one that kept me fascinated through the whole video. Sometimes I fast forward through a video but never any of yours.
I adore your style! Thank you for always showing us how to make all the fabulous upcycles so we can make feminine things for ourselves! Very cute and inspiring ❤
You have inspired me to sew again! I started sewing when I found myself in “off” sizes and “off” styles, so I made clothes that fit my size and my style. I haven’t done that for 20 years, but now I find myself again in “off” size and “off” style. I love your upcycle tutorials! They’ve given me courage and inspiration to sew again! Thank you!
What inspiring outfits you have done for the summer, Traci! I am hoping for time in a few weeks to do the same. My sister became ill last fall and died in the winter. I miss her terribly. Before she left the hospital, though, we thought she would be going to a nursing home. I went out and got her nearly a dozen tees to wear for comfort. You need a lot of clothes in a nursing home because things can spend a week coming back from the laundry. This left me with a lot of colorful, unworn 4X tees to work with. I am looking forward to remaking them into skirts and shirts. For her memorial luncheon, I used your old, erased video ideas to put floral patches all over a pair of white gauze pants. I widened the legs by adding panels I cut from a cotton shirred- front floral shirt from my sister’s closet. Thanks for all of your videos sharing your creative ideas. I will be making lots of things from my sister’s clothing to honor her memory!
Traci i love what you've done and you inspire me so much! I have been needing to do this for way too long! And I've been planning to, but i keeps putting it off. NOW is the time! Your style and taste is mine😂 thank you beautiful girl! Congratulations!! How exciting to be a newlywed!!🎉
Everything looks great! I like seeing unique clothing. So full of creativity and not boring. So nice to see a fresh style and not the stale ones that one sees everyday on this platform. Thanks for all the ideas. ❤️
ahh now I know what to do with a white sweatshirt that is stained!! one big ole honkin' flower and dye it .. yesss.. you rock girl.. and congratulations !! .. many blessings to you both!
I'm so glad you decided to post this video! So inspiring! I have tons of clothes that I don't wear because there's something 'wrong'. Sometimes only a too tight elastic at the short sleeves, for example. I'm so inspired now to make some changes to many things. It's a sort of long term 'dream' to open the closet and take out ready to wear combinations that go well together and are comfortable and flattering. Now I'm older (in my fifties) I gained some weight and don't feel comfortable anymore in too tight things that are showing of too much and are unflattering. Thank you so much for (again) a wonderful video. You just make me happy and are so inspiring! 🤩💜💝
Traci you are so much fun! You need to live in Florida near me! It's a boater's dream. I have so many clothes that need adjustments.......and I have to remember to dye them the colors I want.
In the late 90’s my FAV club outfit was: black chelsea boots silver crushed velvet bell bottoms w a hip chain belt & Black babydoll T that said: 🖤MISS BEHAVE in rhinestones!!🖤
I loved all your unique pieces and like that you showed us so many in this video too. I think the pink sleeveless cami would go great with your pink skinny jeans. Congrats on your marriage. This was fun to watch.
Thanks for this idea to put outfits together . I've been needing to reorganize my clothes and this is a great idea. I love your alterations to make them unique to your cool style.
" Giant pockets to hide my butt", your genuineness is such a breath of fresh air. I love how real you are. We all have these sorts of problems and it's wonderful that you give us tips on how to deal with them. I'm glad you decided to share this video with us. I've had some basal cell stuff too and I tend towards loose long sleeves and pants in the sun. Hot pink is you signature color and looks amazing on you.
I stumbled across your channel and have been binge watching your videos.. I am a mixed media artist and I am never happy with my wardrobe. I did not consider applying my creativity to my clothes until now. You taught me that frayed edges are okay and that layers, patches and applique can make the most incredible artistic statements. Thank you for showing me that my lack of sewing finesse can still be beautiful. I can't wait to upcycle a boring denim shirt that is sitting unworn in my cupboard.
How fun -- a look inside your closet! You are so creative and clever with style, alterations and color changes! And I am so inspired by all of what you showed us. Thank you, thank you, Terri! And am really looking forward to seeing your wedding dress. ❤
Pd: Es hermoso esa vestimenta, yo solo hago joyería boho, no ropas, pero me inspiras 🙌🏻 También reciclo mucho en mis piezas y adornos para el hogar. Ya saqué captura de la joyería que tienes puesta 😅 Espero algún día poder vivir solo de mis Creaciones, tengo tu misma edad 😉 Jóvenes y Creativas. Un día voy a comprarte una cartera, la color rosa con flecos!!! 🥰 En mi país no es fácil comprar en el exterior, pero algún día voy a buscar la manera. Besosss 😘
Fantastic work, I feel your words sit with me. Avoiding shopping, inspiring Thank you Congratulations to you, Have a wonderful day for your wedding 🎉🎉🎉
All those clothes I gave away that were too small!!!😢😭 So many that I REALLY loved 😩! From now on, I will watch this video before I donate any of my clothes. I Can't wait to see your finished wedding dress!
Another brilliant video dear Traci!!! Thanks for making me look at my existing clothes with fresh eyes. I can’t wait to try out some of your ideas. Look forward to your videos every week. Your are a natural at film making, you make it look so easy. Take good care of yourself ❤❤❤
This is wonderful Traci! So many people need this kind of video for inspiration on how to upcycled the clothes they already have! You're such an inspiration! 🥰
Ive found in my 50's, cover ups and shirts make me feel more positive about myself, light breezy fabrics and blow in the breeze. Love all the lace and ruffles you've added to customise your outfits. We're still waiting for summer in England, 57 degrees today, wearing a sweatshirt and joggers. I love your casual outfits, Brill for weekends on your boat in the sun😂
Tons of super cute items and ideas, im growing even more impatient to have my sewing machine & room up n running, thanks so much for great inspirations. And congratulations on tieing the knot 😆🥰😁
Traci May I suggest you do a Q/A Video? You are an EXCELLENT instructor and provide very clear easy to follow instructions in ALL YOUR VIDEOS. Even so, I am CERTAIN your followers would have enough questions for you and your many creative/artistic processes it could easily fill up a video. I adore your style and am probably of the same generation as you, and was born and raised in Illinois. I took 2 years of Home Ec in junior high, dabbled in machine and embroidery sewing in the 90's. I sold my fancy Husqvarna on Ebay 15 yrs ago for about exactly what I paid for it! Because of YOU and your "don't sweat the happy accidents" attitude and informal approach I am inspired to try a few of your designs. I bought a $250 Brother sewing machine and am currently deciding which project I can successfully complete. (Flopping out of the gate will discourage me from attempting a 2nd project). But I, for one, not being an experienced sewer, have several simple questions for you. I just know others would as well. Perhaps making a compilation video would help even more of us Traci groupies to be successful in our attempts at upcycling garments. Here is a simple but important one for me. I watch your many projects that include appliques, and rarely see you use the iron on fusible webbing product that gives body to material. How do you know when to use this? My inexperience would have thought adding an applique cut from a cotton tshirt onto another Tshirt would have required using this, but you haven't that I have observed. In maintaining the soft cozy feel I am glad that you don't, but how do you know what material or situation requires using this? You are even detailed telling us the stitch, or needle type. These details give me the courage to TRY. Watching your videos, you feel like an old friend to me. That helps SO much when learning or trying something new. Thank you for sharing your time, and talent with the RUclips world! ❤ Tammyindiana
Thank you so much for reaching out! I love the Q&A idea! I mainly use fusible interfacing on appliques when the applique fabric is flimsy and hard to handle, also on fabrics that have a loose weave and might shred around the edges before I get them sewn. 🤗💕💕💕💕
We so needed this DIY for Summer casual at home wear. Thanku! Believe me, your ideas will go a long way to help us stand these hot temps here in NC. Congratulations on your marriage! Many happy years ahead thats for sure. Hes got a wonderful lady to spend the best years of his life with amen sister! Great stencils on denim too, Ive been doing that for a couple years. I have a request: please DIY a pair of shoes or boots. Thank you. "We can sew a wardrobe but cant make shoes." Ive been saying this for years... but now I refuse to believe it anymore. I experimented and made a pair of sequin stretch boot covers with vinyl soles and hole for the heel but they only last for maybe 5 times wearing.
Do you have several projects going on at once or do you complete one before moving on? I usually have 3 going on at once. Thank you…you have put joy back in my sewing!!
Aww love that!🤗💕💕💕Because I have a tendency toward being a scatter brain lol, I've become quite disciplined at finishing one before I start another. Great question!🤗💕💕💕💕💕
This is a very helpful vid as I am revamping my wardrobe. I got some great ideas from this. I’ve revamped a couple swim covers into cute versatile covers that I can wear anytime. Would love to see a vid on your altered tees. I’m having trouble figuring out how to do cute styling sleeves. Love your ideas!
Thank you for sharing your new repurposed summer wardrobe. They are all fabulous!!!! Congratulations on your marriage. Can not wait to see your dress you wore!!
You did a wonderful job in making matching, cute, upcycled outfits for the summer. I love those shoes. My master closet is being redone (because of water damage from a leaking hot water heat). As the repairs are being made, I want to update my outfits and put the sets together in the finished closet. It would be wonderful not to have to worry about what goes best with what (before or after my shower) to wear when I go out to work, visit, or keep an appointment. That's a wonderful idea. I have several blouses and pants that I have never worn. It is past time to do something with them. Thank you.
I especially love the tips onhow to make clothes bigger. I have so many cute clothes i can't wear anymore because I've gained weight and can't bear to get rid of them. Also, i never thought of dying clothes to match something else.
This past year I have had a lot of life changes that have made me feel down. However, from your videos I can go to a thrift store or my closet and repurpose clothes to just feel better. I even just purchased a sewing machine. This video was especially inspiring because I never know how to put an outfit together. This gave me so many ideas thank you, from Wisconsin

Thanks for the inspiration, Traci. And thanks for keeping it real for us more mature women who don’t want to go out showing everything we have. ❤

What inspiring outfits you have done for the summer, Traci! I am hoping for time in a few weeks to do the same. My sister became ill last fall and died in the winter. I miss her terribly. Before she left the hospital, though, we thought she would be going to a nursing home. I went out and got her nearly a dozen tees to wear for comfort. You need a lot of clothes in a nursing home because things can spend a week coming back from the laundry. This left me with a lot of colorful, unworn 4X tees to work with. I am looking forward to remaking them into skirts and shirts. For her memorial luncheon, I used your old, erased video ideas to put floral patches all over a pair of white gauze pants. I widened the legs by adding panels I cut from a cotton shirred- front floral shirt from my sister’s closet. Thanks for all of your videos sharing your creative ideas. I will be making lots of things from my sister’s clothing to honor her memory!
What a sweet idea to remember your sister's memory! ❤
I'm so sorry for your loss, you are a wonderful sister! 🤗❤❤❤❤❤
Absolutely!🤗❤❤❤

But I, for one, not being an experienced sewer, have several simple questions for you. I just know others would as well.
Perhaps making a compilation video would help even more of us Traci groupies to be successful in our attempts at upcycling garments. Here is a simple but important one for me. I watch your many projects that include appliques, and rarely see you use the iron on fusible webbing product that gives body to material. How do you know when to use this?
My inexperience would have thought adding an applique cut from a cotton tshirt onto another Tshirt would have required using this, but you haven't that I have observed. In maintaining the soft cozy feel I am glad that you don't, but how do you know what material or situation requires using this?
You are even detailed telling us the stitch, or needle type. These details give me the courage to TRY.
Watching your videos, you feel like an old friend to me. That helps SO much when learning or trying something new.
Thank you for sharing your time, and talent with the RUclips world!

Thank you so much for reaching out! I love the Q&A idea! I mainly use fusible interfacing on appliques when the applique fabric is flimsy and hard to handle, also on fabrics that have a loose weave and might shred around the edges before I get them sewn. 🤗💕💕💕💕
We so needed this DIY for Summer casual at home wear. Thanku! Believe me, your ideas will go a long way to help us stand these hot temps here in NC. Congratulations on your marriage! Many happy years ahead thats for sure. Hes got a wonderful lady to spend the best years of his life with amen sister! Great stencils on denim too, Ive been doing that for a couple years. I have a request: please DIY a pair of shoes or boots. Thank you. "We can sew a wardrobe but cant make shoes." Ive been saying this for years... but now I refuse to believe it anymore. I experimented and made a pair of sequin stretch boot covers with vinyl soles and hole for the heel but they only last for maybe 5 times wearing.
Love that idea!🤗💕💞💓
Do you have several projects going on at once or do you complete one before moving on? I usually have 3 going on at once. Thank you…you have put joy back in my sewing!!
Aww love that!🤗💕💕💕Because I have a tendency toward being a scatter brain lol, I've become quite disciplined at finishing one before I start another. Great question!🤗💕💕💕💕💕
This is a very helpful vid as I am revamping my wardrobe. I got some great ideas from this. I’ve revamped a couple swim covers into cute versatile covers that I can wear anytime. Would love to see a vid on your altered tees. I’m having trouble figuring out how to do cute styling sleeves. Love your ideas!
Thank you so much 🤗💕💕💕💕
Thank you for sharing your new repurposed summer wardrobe. They are all fabulous!!!! Congratulations on your marriage. Can not wait to see your dress you wore!!
Thank you so so much!😍💖💖💖💖💖
Just love all your Summer wardrobe. My favorite is the blue pants & blue top. Congratulations on your marriage. Thanks for sharing 😊
Thank you!!🤗💖💖💖
You are adorable. Thank you for posting. I love the way you think and create. Your ideas are so inspiring.
Thank you so so much 🤗💕💞💓💗
You did a wonderful job in making matching, cute, upcycled outfits for the summer. I love those shoes. My master closet is being redone (because of water damage from a leaking hot water heat). As the repairs are being made, I want to update my outfits and put the sets together in the finished closet. It would be wonderful not to have to worry about what goes best with what (before or after my shower) to wear when I go out to work, visit, or keep an appointment. That's a wonderful idea. I have several blouses and pants that I have never worn. It is past time to do something with them. Thank you.
Love it! It's so worth the time it takes to feel good in what you're wearing!🥰❤❤❤❤
So much fun to hang out with you in your dressing room and see your awesome summer wardrobe!! ❤
Thank you so so much 🤗💞💞💞💞💞
I especially love the tips onhow to make clothes bigger. I have so many cute clothes i can't wear anymore because I've gained weight and can't bear to get rid of them. Also, i never thought of dying clothes to match something else.
🤗❤❤❤❤
This past year I have had a lot of life changes that have made me feel down. However, from your videos I can go to a thrift store or my closet and repurpose clothes to just feel better. I even just purchased a sewing machine. This video was especially inspiring because I never know how to put an outfit together. This gave me so many ideas thank you, from Wisconsin
I love that so much! Where are you in Wisconsin? I'm in Illinois 5 minutes from Wisconsin border 🤗💖💖💖
