Totally agree! And thank you for calling it “skills and knowledge” instead of talent. April’s early projects proved that she’s no more talented than the average person and years of passion-driven learning is behind her now “effortless” sewing.
Start with baby steps, take a basic sewing class or costume design class. I learned a lot about sewing there. As a young kid I first learned making patches and repairing my own clothes, like buttons and things, but I didn't learn how to follow patterns and things until i was in High School. You can do it too. Just start with something small like a barbie doll. :)
This reminds me of when I used to sew. I would make clothes, ect. sometimes without a pattern, just the idea in my head. I also used to crochet and knit. That was in my teens through my 30s. Now I'm in my 60s and I wonder how I did all of those things, lol.
I get so many comments saying "i would've done this......" or "can I do it like this instead?..."--the answer is YES! DO YOU. You can do whatever fits your style. My videos are here to open your mind to the possibilities that are out there, and most importantly to inspire you! You don't have to do everything the same way as me. I understand everyone has different style. On a side note, thank you all so much for watching! I really appreciate everyones love and support! Happy 30th episode! -April
This is probably a silly question but when you did the straps how did you so effortlessly keep the stitch straight? Anytime i sew something it immediately starts shifting. I can never do top stitching. Its impossible for me or spaghetti straps like those. Any tips?
You might try using an edgestitching foot. It has a little guard you place along the edge of your fabric to help you keep your lines even. However, you might want to consider that few other people ever look at your clothes as closely as you will. If your stitching wobbles a little once in a while it could be that nobody ever notices but you. Maybe all you need is to go easy on yourself and just enjoy being creative!
If your straps start shifting when doing a spaghetti strap or any type of strap like belt loops it is either you are stretching the fabric when sewing or you have not cut them on the strait of grain. You need to make sure they are really cut strait for them to lay well.
Very nice transformation!! What I love about your videos is that we can see you actually doing the transformation, unlike others who show the garment already done instead of showing the real steps and you can never tell if they are cheating or if they are genuine. I really love your videos!!! Always have the most refreshing ideas I on changing the desings!!! 💖💖💖💖
She must really have a passion for fashion design, I would never even attempt to do this, waaay too much work... But she did a gorgeous job, such talent, keep it up👍🔥
@@anniecortez4591 its worse for teens because they are minors and shoukdnt be purposefully accidently lifting up anything,, if it was at the beach and was wear a bkini thats a different story,,,even still biker shorts or long ish shorts should do the trick of being comfortable
stariimidniight Lol I think it’s teens that have always been “lifting” the hems of dresses and skirts. I agree it’s inappropriate if you’re like 13 or 14 .. but when I was like 16 I loved doing that ! I felt so cute and girly lol. It’s funny bc I’m only in my 20s now, but much more modest. I have no idea how I wore some of the things I did ! It was quite harmless though. I just wanted to be cute and fashionable.
I've been a seamstress for 30 years. I'm very impressed with what you can do and how clever you are in spotting the possibilities in garments others have tossed out. Please may I urge you to purchase a serger as soon as you can. With your imagination and rapidly developing skills even a basic serger will give you opportunities that are presently hard to work with. You can banish raw edges, make hems a breeze, and be able to work more easily with knits. Sergers are a great help in putting two different fabrics together like polyester and denim. The one I use is not expensive, available on Amazon, and easy to learn. With your gift of imagination you'll open up limitless possibilities of combining garments into wonderful new designs. But whether you do or you don't, keep sewing. Recycling can be an art, and you are living proof.
DannyJane Yeah but most people aren’t going to have a surgery so she’s trying to show people how they can do it at home. Just one basic sewing machine.
Jody Hakala - be creative with where you look! My mom has seen sewing since middle school (first thing she ever made was her Confirmation dress, which takes guts!) and she taught my older brother and I both to sew on our grandmothers antique machine. First off, if you get really into sewing, those old cast iron singers are COMPLETELY worth the space take up!! I just got my own and can’t wait to get it up and running! But I also had a modern machine as soon as I moved out on my own. My first one was a cheap Singer and didn’t last long (that’s a common trend with the newer, cheap, entry level Singers). When it died, my mom and I looked all over for a slightly better one I could afford until we stumbled across a Brother at Costco of all places! It was $60 cheaper there than at Amazon and despite having just started using it, it’s been quick to pick up. I recommend any entry level machine just have the basic two or three sets of stitches (I think mine has something like 40 different stitches, which is pretty normal). Don’t bother with a cheap one that says it does actual embroidery (ie, real pictures). To get a decent machine that can also do embroidery is a good bit pricier and all you’re doing at that cheap end is sacrificing quality in other places. Mine does some fancier stitching in straight lines and that’s all the fancier I want from a machine like it!
The thing is that you can do this too. Just like anything else, it takes watching, trying, doing, rip (take out the stitch & repeat if you have to), repeat, patience & practice, love & fun, creativity & sense of adventure & accomplishment gives your confidence a big boost. We have thrift stores where you can pick up beautiful clothes (fabrics complete with buttons & zippers) for $0.50 each, yes, that's fifty cents. Small country town, has huge fabric & crafts department in our WalMart! Learn a skill, teach a skill. Thank you so much for sharing this video & helping young people get ahead & develop confidence & a skill. Win win.
Thank you so much for being simple and precise in your wording. A lot of youtubers are obnoxious to be funny or appeal to kids or just cause people like me to click onto anything else. Much, much appreciated!
Anybody can learn to sew, but to take a piece of clothing and turn it into something so unique and beautiful takes a creative genius! You are very gifted!
Yes!!! And she could sell the clothing for lower prices, than usual clothes, considering the work that's put into it it would be higher than what she bought it for but that would be awesome, this is the first video I've seen from her and subscribed immediately
The starting "dress" was an abaya, a common piece of clothing worn in Middle Eastern countries. Lots of abayas and salwar have super pretty embroidery on them and are a fairly common thriftstore find! If the city you're in is decently big you may also have mom and pop imports stores that cater to the local Muslim community, where you can buy those clothes new and in more modern cuts/colors for fairly cheap.
Thank you! Even one person inspiring less waste in the clothing of one self's body makes a more sensible world. These are practical skills everyone needs. Men and women alike.
Kimberly Koch - Jealous, much? This isn’t meant to be a detailed tutorial. It’s 6 fucking minutes long, that should be obvious! It just shows her thought process and a general overview. Also, the final dress was stunning. Just because you dislike it doesn’t mean it’s not nice.
Good job!!! There was a time years ago when I made everything I wore. And I must say, nothing looked home made. My grandmother was a seamstress in Europe with a thriving business. She could look at a dress in a store window, go home armed with the fabric and replicate the dress perfectly. I never reached that level and had to use a pattern, and in those days that was Vogue couture patterns. I have lost over 100 lbs. and have decided to start sewing again. Your video and instructions have given me the push I needed to get going! You are very, very talented. That new dress from the old one is lovely!
Evonne Dalton subscribing!!... and to be honest I'd love to see the dresses that your mom made if any pics or if you still have some... And your progress of course
I would have bought this instantly if I had seen it at a store, online store, catalogue...anywhere.... It so freaking beautiful and hi- end designer looking. Just fabulous!!!
You are one of my fav consistent diyers! I love that you have amazing technique and skills. When I watch you I know I'm going to see something quality and not a hatchet job. Is there a playlist of your transformations?
Other than impressive sewing skills (which one can learn with some studying and trial and error), you had an amazing vision. You saw a dress in that fabric and got so creative by splitting the pattern and using it for the chest and low parts of the dress. I never would have seen that! Very talented!!
People ask me that. When I say I made it they stick their noses in the air like it's not cool any more. My daughter got upset. I told her they're just jealous.
OH MY GOSH!!! This is the first video of yours that I'm seeing and you are SO incredibly talented. I can't believe what you did to that dress... It's absolutely adorable! XOX New subscriber here. I can't wait to start binge watching more of this series. :)
Wow! That is the prettiest dress transformation I’ve ever seen, the dress looks so elegant and beautiful I’ve never seen that before in my life, thank you all for that transformation.
I loved sewing and still do. A good machine is worth its weight in gold. Great job in this dress. You look beautiful. I made my wedding dress and tomorrow is my anniversary.
WTF!? I'm literally crying of jealousy, why? because 1. That dress is f****** gorgeous. 2. She is so talented it's unfair! like imagine going into a thrift store with only seven dollars in your hand and you buy an ugly ass dress, and have the power to turn it into that 👆😱😭😍 Subscribed!
+SiraGem Wow! Thank you! I just checked out her channel and casually scrolled down here video's, and I can tell by just her thumbnails that she is incredibly gifted. Thanks for recommending her! I love channels like these two :)!
I was proud of being able to take up trousers and Jeans, repair holes and sew on buttons. The most I've even done to a dress was sew the straps to make it shorter and more fitting. I am now humble with my mediocre sewing skills. The final result was so beautiful I would wear the hell out of it.
That was so amazing, you remind me of my mother when I was a little girl, she sewed a lot, remaking things over the same as you. I'm glad to see there are still home seamstresses still out there in the world.
I'm struggling trying to thread a needle yet here I am.. don't know how I find this channel but lemme just click the subscribe button.. She's amazing!!
That is so one of the best things about making your own stuff. People always ask me about where I buy some of the clothes and jewelry I wear to work and it's so satisfying to say "Oh this? I made it. Ohoho." I'm not nearly as skilled as this, but I guess for the person who has never sewn a scrap in their life, it looks pretty impressive anyway.
You are one of a kind youtuber! I love the fact that you recycle old clothes and give it a new life 💕 You are definitely my inspiration and keep slaying these amazing DIYs !
This young woman is an AMAZINGLY talented artist! I can barely sew in straight lines but I stumbled across this video...yep, I’ve subscribed!...and I can’t wait to see more. Thank you for this channel and for inspiring me!👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻
OMG this video popped up in the recommended section and you blew my mind away. That dress is so fabulous and the best thing is that no one else has that same dress.
Amazing, and with wonderful use of the existing material as well! From the thumbnail, I was nervous most of the embroidery was going to go unused, but they make a gorgeous trim on the skirt! Very cute dress, great!
She makes this look easy but that took some serious sewing skills and knowledge
Not everybody has the skill for sewing,by that saying I include myself of those group of non skilled people
@@emmamadgini4139 nobody is non skilled ! She learned that too ! Go and visit a basic sewing class and the other skills will be come naturally ! Good lock.
Y not jus by the stylist dresss instead of all this work
Totally agree! And thank you for calling it “skills and knowledge” instead of talent. April’s early projects proved that she’s no more talented than the average person and years of passion-driven learning is behind her now “effortless” sewing.
Start with baby steps, take a basic sewing class or costume design class. I learned a lot about sewing there. As a young kid I first learned making patches and repairing my own clothes, like buttons and things, but I didn't learn how to follow patterns and things until i was in High School. You can do it too. Just start with something small like a barbie doll. :)
I mean.... I can make paperboat hats
HAHAHHAAHA
I can't even do that
I was just about to say the same thing lol
LOL ikr.
I can't even do that...

Amazing. Love that clothing can be recylced. It goes to show you can create something beautiful from an item someone else discarded.
It's because you can see the art in everything. If it were me, I wouldn't have even looked at that dress. You're amazing

I just checked out her channel and casually scrolled down here video's, and I can tell by just her thumbnails that she is incredibly gifted. Thanks for recommending her! I love channels like these two :)!
I was proud of being able to take up trousers and Jeans, repair holes and sew on buttons. The most I've even done to a dress was sew the straps to make it shorter and more fitting. I am now humble with my mediocre sewing skills. The final result was so beautiful I would wear the hell out of it.
Beautiful dress and I like the texture on the jeans fabric, but for me it should be a bit longer.
yea. just an inch longer would have made all the difference. but pretty.
Glad I wasn't the only one thinking it was just a tad too short!
I agree if it was a little longer it would be better for me if i was wearing it, a little short but still amazing looking
This chick deserves her own show on TLC seriously x___x
That was so amazing, you remind me of my mother when I was a little girl, she sewed a lot, remaking things over the same as you. I'm glad to see there are still home seamstresses still out there in the world.
You are the best no nonsense sewing genius. It took me awhile to find you. Glad I finally did.
Wow, what a beautiful dress. If this was being sold in the shops, i would definitely buy it xx
Who else thinks she should have her own clothing line ? I'll buy her clothes 💕
Hillary _805 I do

Lucky because no one will ever have the same clothes as her if they do hers will be better
Love the idea of using thrift shop finds and that finished product looked amazing
How to make/What you need:
1. Skills
Me: Already don't have that..
Pahug naman po.
New youtuber.
Salamat and Godbless😇🙏
*Walks into store "I can totally make this look cool"
*Goes home, picks up glue gun, gives up, throws in trash, turns on Netflix.
Autumn. Haha ha. That's true of me.
Oh my goodness! You got me cracking up big time. I love it!😂🤣😂. I sew on occasion and can’t see me doing this at all. 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wakamak same happens to me 🤣🤣🤣
Using a hot glue gun isn’t good
I honestly don't understand how 1K people can dislike this. This was an extremely talented transformation! Nice work girl 👏🏻
what the actual fuck, i wish i was this talented
right?? I tried fixing a simple hole on my jeans and failed.
+Trish Myers You just need to keep trying! The more sewing you do the better!
Holy, you can buy anything and make it pretty! Your a genius! How are you not like a crazy rich fashion designer?!
Can't you imagine when you go out with that dress and people ask you where you buy it and you're like "oh I made it myself " ? 😂😂 lol
That's one of the prides of being a crafter! :)
''Oh I made it myself out of a muumuu''
That is so one of the best things about making your own stuff. People always ask me about where I buy some of the clothes and jewelry I wear to work and it's so satisfying to say "Oh this? I made it. Ohoho." I'm not nearly as skilled as this, but I guess for the person who has never sewn a scrap in their life, it looks pretty impressive anyway.
+Marit Uguiihc a muumuu 😂😂😂😂😂
You are one of a kind youtuber! I love the fact that you recycle old clothes and give it a new life 💕 You are definitely my inspiration and keep slaying these amazing DIYs !
Aww thanks so much!! ❤️❤️
Obviously you've never seen Annika Victoria
U should be on project runway
That's exactly what I was about to comment!!!
I was thinking that the whole time, she is so talented.
Gorgeous and innovative! The designer of the original dress is now crying.
Wow, you have an amazing talent! That dress went from birth-control device to va-va-va-voom!
This comment made my day😂
Best comment I've seen in a long time!

I never thought that i would wish to have sewing skills like hers until now.😂😅💖

Amazing, and with wonderful use of the existing material as well! From the thumbnail, I was nervous most of the embroidery was going to go unused, but they make a gorgeous trim on the skirt! Very cute dress, great!
