    I think it would be cool if you could like do a segment like thrifted transformations but like you use a celebrity outfit for inspiration and then you find the clothing at thrift stores and turn them into oufits of pieces inspired by the celebrity's outfit. I think it would be really cool

      coolirpa Hi April
      please make more DIY videos! (no pressure:) You are so inspiring and I really enjoy all your videos :) I have a little tip you might try out for "fake" tear = sandpaper and pebbles! ( you take a handful of pebbles in one hand, hold it under the area you want the tear on your fabric and rub the sandpaper in circles on top of the fabric and voila!)
      Miauw and hugs :)

    @sierramacias7512 8 лет назад +14

    I did this a couple months ago and it took FOREVER but SO worth it. You should also try using a paint brush w a little bleach around the holes to make it look more distressed!

    i had a loose fitting mom style jeans that i found for a dollar( no kidding!) that i wanted to make into a bf style too but since im lousy in this kinda stuff i just cut em into shorts. -.- hats off to your talent.

  • @amandaelaine3099
    @amandaelaine3099 7 лет назад

    If you don't want to spend a ton of time making the holes I've found that if you cut lots of slits close together in the shape you want and putting it through the wash once or twice gives you a similar result

  • @kathleenbrand9260
    @kathleenbrand9260 8 лет назад

    Have you tried using safety pins instead of straight pins to mark your new seams? It makes it less dangerous to get out of the clothes after being altered.

  • @MotormouthMika
    @MotormouthMika 9 лет назад

    You can use sandpaper to get the distress it works just as well

  • @Baybehho
    @Baybehho 9 лет назад

    Great video! Quick question though - when taking in a pair of trousers or jeans like you did in the video, is it better to take them in from the outside of the jean leg or the inside leg?? I've always taken them in from the inside, but you did the opposite in the video.
    Thanks! :)

    • @coolirpa
      @coolirpa  9 лет назад

      Good question, it really just depends on where that seam is. Sometimes the thick topstitched seam is on the outside, and sometimes it's on the inside. You don't want to take it in from the side with the bulky seam because the signature denim top stitching will disappear, and it will be hard blend the new side seam in when you sew. Hope that makes sense 😅

    • @balladofroses5282
      @balladofroses5282 8 лет назад

      I've seen jeans with denim behind the distress to make them school-friendly, and thought quilting squares would be a good way to add some personal touch to the jeans
