10 years later, your video is still helping people! Thank you! I will be making some of these. :)
I so need to make some of these! As I've aged I've found that I need to wear my shirts much longer and this will give a lot of my old ones a new life! Thanks again. Hope you continue making your vids. They are so helpful!!
Thank you Teresa! I'm happy you like this project :) I will be doing another refashion next week. I try and do a project every 2 weeks, if my kids' schedules allow time for it :) Take care and I hope you had a GREAT day! HUGS :)
@@AjsVintageDesigns still waiting
Thank you !! I'm so excited that you are getting your friends excited about sewing too!! You just made my whole weekend....If I can get people excited about sewing and refashioning, I feel like I'm accomplishing something. Thanks again for leaving your comments on my videos... I love reading them. Take care and have a GREAT weekend! BIG HUGS :)
I don't know how to sew but I am going to try to learn. I tend to give-up easily and convince myself that I can't do something before I've given myself a chance to learn a new skill. This time I am giving myself a chance to fail.
You could add a light cotton skirt to the left over t shirt top and make a t-shirt dress for the summer
Thank you! So happy you liked this project. I just hate when I bend over and my shirts are not long enough to keep my backside covered, so I decided to make these instead of pay a lot of money on some at the retail stores. Thanks again for watching and I hope you had a GREAT day! HUGS :)
I'm so glad you're going to give it a try. I made them in 4 colors so far. Thanks for watching!
Wow!! I just found your video which was prefect timing cause my daughter and I were just talking about making some shirt extenders to wear with sweaters this winter. I will be going to Joann's tomorrow for shirts and get started. I'm thinking Christmas presents for my gal pals. Best wishes for the Holiday season to you and your family.
I did not know that such a thing exists! It’s genius! Makes so much sense! Thank you!
I'm getting constant ads for these things on Facebook. Watched your video and made one in no time!
I really enjoy your videos. I am a sewer too and I always get some good tips and ideas from watching your videos.
Thank you Wanda !! I'm happy you are enjoying my videos :) I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment...take care and I hope you have a FABULOUS day! HUGS :)
This is such a great idea, never thought of this. You should not be afraid to say 34" hips that is very small!
+Nancy York Thank you Nancy !! I made this video about 3 years ago....I wish I had that 34 " hip measurement again...If I could get that back, I'd never complain again...LOL. Thanks again and I'm glad you liked this project. I hope you are having a WONDERFUL weekend! HUGS :)
good idea! i'll be going to the local thrift store to look for shirts.
I'm very glad I also found your channel. I'm learning as I watch you explain even the basics. Thank you for your ideas and your time in showing how to make these great upcycles!
You're welcome and thank you for watching and taking the time to leave me a comment !! I really appreciate that. I'm so glad you are enjoying my videos. Thanks again for watching and I hope you had a BEAUTIFUL day! HUGS :)
Thanks for your wonderful creative channel. It is amazing how you can recycle stuff and save thousands of dollars if you only knew how. I love your channel. Keep the great ideas coming. God bless.
+Kodavayour nirmal Thank you !! That is so nice of you to say :) I'm so happy you are enjoying my channel. Thanks again and I hope you are having a FABULOUS weekend! HUGS :)
What a brilliant idea
Excellent video!!! Thank you
Thank you for making/posting this video, I will be making some today!
Love from Canada
A top extender is also just more stylish with leggings.
Just perfect!!🤩
Thank you, this is just what I was looking for, and a great tutorial !
Julie Jeffery Thanks Julie !! I'm so glad you liked this project. I hope you're having a WONDERFUL evening ! HUGS :)
Thanks!!! With all my shopping hauls, I'm always trying to think of money saving ideas. Thanks for watching!!!
What a wonderful idea.Almost all of my tops, I feel are to short for my barrel shape middle I like the tunic length.I love this idea and the color combos one can use.
I love wearing the layered look and I hate to have my bottom showing when I'm wearing leggings, so this works great for me and they are so easy to make. So glad you like this project :) Thanks for watching and I hope you are enjoying your evening !! HUGS :)
I hate camisoles and I hope to actually do this. I need some extenders for some of my blouses. Thanks!
I hope you see this since the video is so old... I was wondering at the end when you sewed it shut if you sewed the fabric to the elastic in that spot (all the way through)?
I'm so glad I found your channel! I'm an experienced sewer, but not so much apparel without a pattern. I'm also particular about my clothes and how they fit and how much I spend. Thank you for posting videos on how you do this! I have a channel too and I know how much time it takes to record and post videos! I can't wait to start. What brand is your machine?
Thank you Joanne ! My sewing machine is a Viking Topaz and my serger is a Viking 5 spool Husky. Let me know when you start posting videos...I will definitely watch your videos! I love to watch sewing, refashioning and thrifting videos. Take care and I hope you're having a FANTASTIC day! HUGS :)
Thanks again! Another good one!
id like to see a black or white one with a lace edge...wow!
Thank you for this tutorial. Just what I needed. So helpful!
Thank you SO much!... What a great idea!.. Love your tutorials!
You could use the extra fabric to sew a cell phone or paper money pocket into your extender. Try to position the pocket where it will be least noticeable.
This is an excellent tutorial and a very good and money saving idea.....
Great tutorial, great idea!Thank you so much!
Great idea! We'll definitely make some of these. Thanks
Perhaps you could do a video on how to make those V shaped things that you wear when dress necklines are too deep...instead of wearing a whole extra layer or slip underneath.. I don't know what they're called... They clip. Onto your bra straps I think
Absolutely brilliant! Thanks for this 😍
I always love watching this awesome tutorial. I need to make one :)
Genius! Thank you.
Thanks Naidalis1 !! Its a great way to use old shirts and give a new purse to them. I hate it when I bend over and I have to worry that my waist is going to show, so I love the shirt extenders. I had a hard time finding cami's to wear that were long enough to work. Thanks for watching!
Bravo!
Easy to follow tutorial, thank you so much!!
Thank you!
How can I add material to a buttoned up denium shirt that has a laced back, I wanted to just add some material to the back of the shirt where the lace is at to make it a tiny tad longer so it can cover a little more of my tush lol
Did you purchase your normal size for the t-shirts? I love this idea. I have 2 extenders I purchase "on sale" years ago for $10 each. So silly now that I consider it. I was in a hurry and just had to get something for a trip. I'm glad I found this video. Thanks!
Great! Another way is to just take a tank top and pull the neck of it down to your waist and tuck in the arm holes in your pants. Mens A t shirts work well.
Cheye one I was just thinking this I hate spaghetti strap tanks but my Walmart has them on clearance for $1 I was gonna make her project from them but I might just do that lol
Ellen Brake cool!
cause fat people dont sweat enough already xD
Thank u so much for putting that tip on here I just did that and worked so well and will help extend the rest of my pregnancy in shirt wise and also cover up where I can wear my leggings without showing things.
for sure i will make one.. by the way.. i am teaching my friends your tips.. they love and say thanks to you.. XOXO
I'm very new at sewing and I really appreciate your videos! My question is would this have been easier leaving the side open and doing the waste band first instead of sewing around in a circle? Then pinning the side to make the seam? I have yet to make this and was just curious. Thanks a million for all the tips and tricks! I feel inspired!
Thanks :) As far as the waist band, you can do it either way.....however you will have to be careful if you sew the waist band first so that when you sew up the side seam you don't accidentally sew the channel shut so that you couldn't feed the elastic through. Hope that makes sense. Thanks for watching and I hope you had a FABULOUS weekend! HUGS :)
lovely, thank you so much
Can you just sewing over the top with the elastic already inside? instead of having to feed it inside?
No, you will need to feed it through. If you sew over the elastic, you take the risk of your stitch breaking when you stretch the elastic when putting it on. If you did want to sew over it, you'd need to use a large zig zag stitch to allow for the stretch. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching ...HUGS :)
Thank you xx fabulous x
And very helpful video--thank you!
Thanks for the tutorial, I made this but guess what! The back was short with 12 inches, front side was perfect but the back was jumping up for the bump, is there any solution for it?
Sounds like you have a bit more back bump like me. That's why i usually don't measure at the hips but over the backbump and take that measurement for the width of the skirt. Otherwise it will be to tight at the bump and eventually creep up at that spot.
Very nice video. Thank you. Can we attach the material direct to shirt as I want to extend my top for yoga class, rather than wearing as a skirt? Then we don't need the elastic too.
Yes, you can put the top of the extender directly under the hem line of your shirt (on the inside) and sew it on. You just have to make sure you extender is the same measurements in diameter as your shirt so it will lay smoothly :) Thanks for watching and Happy Holidays...HUGS :)
Thanks I love them
I love this idea! what is the width of the elastic? Thank you.
+Janet Hall I did this project 3 years ago, but I believe on this project I used 1" elastic for the waist band. I don't like to use thin elastic because its not as comfortable. Thanks for watching and I hope you are having a GREAT day! HUGS :)
This is awsome! Too bad i dont have a sewing machine..
Also helps hides stomach that is a tad bit too big
Thank you so much, God bless you
have u made a tutorial for a lace top extender? Its the tank with the lace on the bottom..
+Veronica Herrera No, I don't have a tutorial on the lace one. I did add lace to the bottom of a slip (which would be pretty much the same concept) and I also did a ruffle at the bottom of a sweater to lengthen it. My sewing machine is in storage until Spring, because we are building a new home and I don't have a sewing space at our temporary home while our house is being built. I will do this tutorial in the Spring for sure. Thanks for watching and Happy Thanksgiving ! HUGS :)
Can I ask what thread you recommend using? Is it a thread specifically for knits?
Great Idea :-)
Thank you !! and I hope you're having FANTASTIC day !! HUGS :)
Thank you so much!
U can get t shirts at dollar tree for a 1.00 now lol but man I need to make some of these extenders for rest of my pregnancy with some shirts I got and with my leggings lol
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
What size t shirt?
Your normal size?
gorgeous thank you :)
do more video on tearshirt extender
Thank you!!
+Nancy McClintock You're welcome and thank you for watching !! I hope you had a FABULOUS day! HUGS :)
I ordered 2 shirts and when they came they were way to short to wear with my leggings. How would I add onto the bottom of the shirt?
+Liz Turney You could do this same concept and instead of sewing a waist band, you can sew it to the bottom hem from underneath (inside of the shirt) and hide your stitching in the current hem stitch line (like doing the stick in the ditch concept). There are also some easier ways to do this but hard to write it out. I will be picking my sewing videos back up as soon as our new house is finished and I will do this video for you ! Thanks for watching and I hope you had a BEAUTIFUL day! HUGS :)
+fashiontoppings Thank you so much! I appreciate all your help! If you want I can send you a picture of the shirts. I hope that's not asking too much. I really enjoy your tutorials and I have learned so much from you!
You can email me the pictures to my email (fashiontoppings at gmail.com) I'll help you as much as I can :) HUGS !!
Thank you.
I'm just looking at ShopHQ and the indigo thread company has a set of two lace scalloped tunic extenders for. $ 29.99.
WHAT?
Forget it, that's not happening.
It looks like a slip with an extended hem .
Yeah that's what it is.
Thanks for sharing
Honey, 34 is an awesome number for your lower waist. Flaunt that!
I bought some tube tops at the Dollar Mart for one dollar .. i used them for this, but I have such THUNDER thighs they fit to tight.. :( I may be doing this idea instead. thanks.
These are super easy Carla and you can make them to fit they way you want :) Thanks for watching and I hope your weekend is going GREAT !! HUGS :)
stunning woman!
This was hard to hear. Just noticed it was few years ago, she probably got a mic by now.
Why so much of a big deal about sharing your hip measurement? We can see you. It's not hard to guess what you measured.
+Mr Fister79 she's prob just joking...
You could just buy another $1 shirt at the dollar tree that fits. You wouldnt want to ruin anything beautiful by doing this. At this rate you value your life at a dollar (the price of a dollar tree shirt) for two hours. So you price your life at $0.50 an hour
