      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.

    Do i know how to sew? No.
    Will i ever learn to sew? Also no.
    BUT HERE I AM. IN LOVE WITH YOUR VIDEOS. 😂

  • @paulg6527

    You should make videos of going into other people's closets and transforming clothes they want to get rid of into something fresh.

    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!!!

  • @jws1948ja

    I do not sew any more, but I love watching your programs. I remember all of the good things I sewed.

    SO TALENTED!!! One dress turned into two tops...great idea!!!
    Beautiful and Smart you are April 👍🏼👍🏼👌🏼👌🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️❤️🥰🥰😁

    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!

  • @aquaticangel3380
    @aquaticangel3380 4 года назад +2

    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!

  • @naoisemck1456
    @naoisemck1456 5 лет назад +56

    I love these types of videos!! It’s good to find ways of renewing old clothes rather than buying new ones!

  • @deanna_0037
    @deanna_0037 5 лет назад +69

    Just WOW! I love how you look at an item and see what it can be and then make it happen. Love it! Bravo! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤❤❤

  • @Babeeex
    @Babeeex 4 года назад +1

    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!)

  • @TheLateNightSnack
    @TheLateNightSnack 4 года назад

    You are so frugal with your fabric. No waste! Love it!

  • @Rott.221

    Thank you for that final unobstructed shot of everything you made!

  • @sonyaj66
    @sonyaj66 5 лет назад +31

    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!

  • @sarahdeason493
    @sarahdeason493 5 лет назад +7

    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 !!!

  • @LaineyBug2020
    @LaineyBug2020 5 лет назад +80

    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!

    • @alyssar272
      @alyssar272 5 лет назад +2

      Buying old sheets from the thrift store is NEVER a good idea unless they're in an unopened package

  • @marikotrue3488
    @marikotrue3488 5 лет назад +6

    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!

  • @KerenHMorales

  • @dimatadore

    I prefer the background music used on this channel more than the goofy ones used on bigger channels tbh.

  • @katchaish
    @katchaish 5 лет назад +39

    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! 💕

    • @coolirpa

    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.

  • @rachellynncreates2703
    @rachellynncreates2703 5 лет назад +1

    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 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.

    • @hngroove3384
      @hngroove3384 4 года назад +4

      It would be the same process but maybe focusing more on the support but the cuts would be similar.

    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.

    That drapey cami turned out gorgeous! I love chiffon.

  • @marykay55

    The high neckline has a more sophisticated look than the lower one. I liked the higher neckline on you better than the lower one.

  • @juliefox77
    @juliefox77 5 лет назад

    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!

    @sallysigler727 5 лет назад

    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!!

  • @PiisaMahlaga
    @PiisaMahlaga 5 лет назад +4

    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!!!

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. :)
