Transforming Old Clothes In My Closet | Coolirpa

- If years have passed and you still haven't worn some clothes in your closet, it's time to give them a new life! Instead of donating mine and buying new clothes, I decided to just change up what I already owned to SAVE MONEY and have a NEW wardrobe. Hope you enjoy :) #diyfashion #reuse #coolirpa

The pants from Thailand look so comfortable!
Randi Johnson they are 😍 I love them!
Randi Johnson omg they are!!!
Harempants.com
Have a variety of them but I’m sure you pay find some cheaper someone else - maybe
Im from Thailand. I really dont like them but my husband from the US has bought 3 because the guy likes it so much
Do i know how to sew? No.
Will i ever learn to sew? Also no.
BUT HERE I AM. IN LOVE WITH YOUR VIDEOS. 😂
ValUsc Right! Same here
You can!
TOWANDA the STYLIST
You can!
🤣🤣Right?!
I can't sew but my seamstress is reasonable
Would love to see a video with some of your failed projects, and maybe watch you redo it
So funny, I agree. I am learning to sew and one of my friends was making a bag that didn't act right, she just cut away a little of this, adjusted a little of that and to see that was so liberating lol It let me know that mistakes don't have to be permanent, you can make some cool things from the mistakes.
You should make videos of going into other people's closets and transforming clothes they want to get rid of into something fresh.
Paul G Web series idea!!
Like a sewing What Not to Wear 😂
good idea❤❤
I would sign up for that series in a heart beat
I do not sew any more, but I love watching your programs. I remember all of the good things I sewed.
Girl this gave me marge simpson vibes. Remember that episode when she gets that really expensive pink suit and keeps tailoring and altering it to other pieces. Love your creations!!!
Minjee YES
You are so frugal with your fabric. No waste! Love it!
This is wonderful! So environmentally sustainable to alter the clothes you already own instead of promoting fast fashion and tossing away clothes you no longer like! Bravo!
Just WOW! I love how you look at an item and see what it can be and then make it happen. Love it! Bravo! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤❤❤
Thank you! :D
I am just addicted to watching these, it gives me this sudden creative boost and I love it.
I can’t do anything with that creativity, but it’s there!
I Love that you are not a shallow girl and thru your skills you are also saving money 💰.
SO TALENTED!!! One dress turned into two tops...great idea!!!
Beautiful and Smart you are April 👍🏼👍🏼👌🏼👌🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️❤️🥰🥰😁
loamda27 Yes she is 💗
I love these types of videos!! It’s good to find ways of renewing old clothes rather than buying new ones!
You are very skilful; I love the way you just pick up the fabric & sew, without pinning or tacking - just the way I do it (except it works for you!)
I love this channel. While my tailoring skills are minimal, I have successfully altered 4 tees and shirts from the enthusiasm and great instructions on these videos. Thank you!
Love all your transformations . The floral fabric used for the last 2 is especially pretty ... Glad you repurposed it for 2 different tops...You are the cutest !! Thanks for all your fabulous ideas !!!
I really love how you transformed 1 into 2
Thank you for that final unobstructed shot of everything you made!
I love that you made the dress into a top! Loose and flowy and beautiful! Inspired me to work on a dress that I love and yet is a bit to short!
I prefer the background music used on this channel more than the goofy ones used on bigger channels tbh.
Love it! I keep seeing adds for these wrap dresses that you loop around one shoulder, wrap it around & loop it over the other. I thought, maybe you could make them out of old sheets from the thrift store with funky patterns? If you could make some as a test run, that would be awesome!
Buying old sheets from the thrift store is NEVER a good idea unless they're in an unopened package
Love the transformations; the finished items all look delightful and flattering on you! I must say that those pants - and the way you've styled them with the shirt - I love the most! Talk about both stylish and comfortable...and something my 53-y.o. self could wear.
I also just want to thank you for all these videos - since finding your channel, and a couple of others - I've been inspired to do more sewing and specifically, modifying or completely re-purposing both thrift store clothes and those from my own wardrobe. Keep up the great work!
WOW 2 BLOUSES AND LOVELY COLOR TOO
Wow! The first diy is such a great idea. 😁✨ It’s so simple and easy. I have a dress that has a high neck too and I notice I don’t wear it as much either but it’s too cute to get rid of. Thanks for the video! 💕
Kate I know right! Thanks for watching ❤️❤️☺️
absolutely love the last top
2 shirts from one garment. A headband from the scraps! 😉👍💖
Love the floral top 😍 i wish i have a magic hand like yours 😩
Shawmila Army Me to 💗
You can start practicing if you have a barbie doll..
Whats it called?
I honestly have never used a sewing machine but I love watching you transform old pieces into new ones
What is super impressive is how you managed to still fit into the clothes you had from years ago!! Especially love the floral top transformation and the pic on your Instagram.
So glad you could make those pants work, you can tell they are gorgeous
Looks like some up-cycling tips for unwanted clothes, or to modify your existing wardrobe.
The last one is so pretty
I wish plus sized creators made videos like yours. Not that your vidoes arent great id just love to see someome revamp plus size clothes like you do.
It would be the same process but maybe focusing more on the support but the cuts would be similar.
Same! Always struggling in finding plus size diy videos!:(
Sooooo good. And glad you kept the floral fabrick. It is a great design!!
Love your videos!
For marking the cloth with soap....What i like to do is wash hands with a bar of soap for a long time, each time palms together to make the soap into a very thin oval with sharp edges(dont know if that made sense) and use that to mark things. Easier than using a huge bar.
Ps! Congrats on the engagement!!!
The high neckline has a more sophisticated look than the lower one. I liked the higher neckline on you better than the lower one.
So many inspiration through this video the only problem is I don’t know how to sew
Nahida Rayyan sheikh withwendy has some really good what you need to get started videos.
Ohmyyyy! You’re close to 2M subscribers April! Time flies so fast, it seemed only yesterday when you celebrated the 1M with that amazing fashion show 😊 You really deserve all that love because your content is worth watching, product of skills and passion 🥰
That drapey cami turned out gorgeous! I love chiffon.
Pretty blouse. Your so talented and creative.
LOVE how you got 2 tops out of one dress! Got some inspiration for re-sizing/re configuring some items now that I am losing some serious weight.
All 3 came out great
Would love to be able to use my old clothes and tons of fabrics I have. This is my number 1 skill to get this year. You make it look soo easy and fabulous
Super fun! I'd love for you to include additional details such as (1) what stitch length and type you used (2) how to decide how much elastic to use and how to sew it where everything lays evenly. The more technical details the better!
I love transformation videos. You are so educated, professional, neat and creative. Thank you for taking the time to create and edit these videos for us.
I love the floral tank!!! It came out so cute 😍😍😍 thank you for sharing your great ideas! ❤️ we love them!
Look at that gorgeous Diamond 💍! So happy for you !!!
April, those blouses are so cute!!! Judy
That top you made with the extra fabric was so cute and such a good idea!.
Love the cowl neck!
Omg you should do a “failed thrift flips” video! I think it would just be funny to see if you’ve had any disasters throughout thrift flipping so many things
something off about that first refashion. the alignment of the chest/underarm area was wonky but 3 out of 4 ain't bad; especially when the remaining 3 were so amazing!
The last top was my favorite. I've been looking for something like that at the clothing stores without result
You are so inspiring! I used to donate clothes I never wear, but now I’m trying to repurpose them myself. Thanks!
OMG THE LOOP TURNER! I didn't know such a tool existed. Stoked!
I love to sew since I was small like 8yrs old. I made sexy tops for my friends and even dresses for my dolls like matchy matchy😅 until I become a mom I am sewing ootds for my little girl, and take note all are my handmade. No sewing machine 😁 it's a lot of work but I love it. Keep inspiring april❤️
i love this concept! With the garbage that's ending up in our landfills; it's a great idea to give clothes in our own closet a second life.
I love the pink dress 😍
Although I’ve always been one to figure out how to alter clothes to make them fit me better, I’m not as talented as April. She is a professional seamstress, and very creative. Lots of good ideas and tips from watching her! Everyone should rethink articles of clothing before hauling them off to Goodwill who just makes money on the stuff we discard!!
I Used To Watch Your Vidoes And Life Got In The Way & W Two Babys I Sayed Bye To Tutorials. .. but Now I Found You ! Always Loved Your Videos 💗
I love that floral fabric and can totally see why you wanted to make something else out of it with that excess fabric 😍 Another great video!
I love how the tank top turned out! Super cute
Those pants are amazing! I also love that you made two tops out of the dress!
Can you do a RUclips video on transforming rompers into different styles. Absolutely love your channel
I love your fashion designs.💕💕
Brown sugar Doll Yes me to 💗
Always so amazed at how you think of different pieces. Great job, as always!
Jen C thank you 😊
I love your channel. I always find myself coming back for an update. It not often that we find channels like that. I don't keep up with many of my subscriptions, I keep up with yours. I like your simplicity and passion. I a nice change from all the razmataz that some other channels are. Thank you for the information and for inspiring me. I hope to one day become a fashion designer too. Your channel makes me want to also try something out, unfortunately, I don't have a sewing machine. Anyways, waiting for the next update, as always. :)
I LOVE the last shirt! So adorable and that fabric is gorgeous!
Loved the pants!
The last one
Yes! Love it, inspiring me to start sewing again, thank you April 😊
Thank you, thank you, thank you! It was like you read my mind, I've been searching & searching for current diy transformation videos and you came THROUGH!
Je suis française et je n’aime pas particulièrement la couture mais j’apprécie beaucoup regarder t’es vidéo, je comprends pas tout en même temps je parle très mal anglais 😝
Mais t vidéo reste quand même compréhensible et facile à suivre
Bravo 👏
Kiss from France 😘
I had to compliment in your videos, it’s crazy amazing and just made me very relaxed and all believe in creativity and skills. Thank you really needed it. Over all your tutorial video is very therapeutic to me. For someone who wants to make use of free time, your guidance is amazing.❤️🤘🏼
Glad youre back to sewing!
Looking beautiful and loving all the designs too!!! 💖💖💖💖
You are awesome! I can sew darn well but I feel like a novice when I watch your vids. Sew creative and skilled you are.
I love your channel. I’ve learned so much from you after just watching two videos. I can tell you right now that this is going to be my favorite channel. TFS
April! I love your creativity❤
Great idea
Beautiful draping on the tank top.
Love it!!! So creative!💓 I cannot wait to start sewing again.
I challenge you to recreate an Edith Head original worn by famous Hollywood personalities. You have as much talent as Ms. Head.
Hi April I see you from Portugal. I like your ideas and the top was amazing :)
So much creative!
I'm so glad to have found your channel. I love this video.
These videos are so interesting! Upcycling never looked so good
Great transformations, love the 2 tops your made out of the floral dress :)
OMG the third one is so cute!!!
I literally watched your videos for an entire year before finally buying a sewing machine and I've started teaching myself to sew. I live in Mexico and finding patterns is next to impossible which I actually think is perfect because its causing me to really learn how to make what I want. I will be honest, the struggle is real but with each new creation, I learn something new. Thank you for sharing and for helping me to want to upcycle as well. I don't know if you look at what others create but I have shared some of my makes on my IG at @yesitskellie I am really enjoying creating bags but challenging myself to make clothes because I think they are harder but also take a lot more creativity. Thanks again for sharing and being an inspiration to try something new.
Great job! You’re so creative!
Great ideas! Love the designs, and so informative.
The black dress and floral dress went from classic to tragic. New halter & pants were cute.
Could you maybe make a video like this for a friend who is a size 10? It would help me understand which shapes I can use that fit me. I feel like many things fit your slim body and I have fewer options. Or rather I have to go with different cuts to flatter mine. Love you!
The last two tops where so cute but I think if you made that dress into a two piece set if would have been cuter
Cute and simple transformations!😍 The pants from Thailand are a really nice color on you and I like the extra flowy fabric on the legs. And love what you did with the floral dress! A two from one outfit! #inspiring
You’re glowing April☺️
i love those pants!
Very talented lady!!!!
Imagine being this talented...
