Thank you for making such a straightforward tutorial. So much less daunting. I have a nice shirt to use as a template but it has bust darts at the front. Will this make a difference?
Thank you for the compliments! I don't think bust darts will make a difference. Actually, they will probably add some shape to the finished dress. I would love to see a pic if you do this project.
THIS LOOK AWSOME! Can’t wait to try it!❤❤❤ (if I didn’t see this my mom would have just made me go in normal clothes-)
Lol! Please share a pic if you make yourself a dress. I would love to see it!
@@RefashioningWithRachel I’ll tag u in a pic!:3
Lovely!
Thank you!
That came out so cute. Great use of all the fabric.
Thank you!
Wow. So beautiful. You do such a nice job. Thank you
Thank you so much! This makes me so happy to hear.
Love all your upcycles. But I have a question on this one. It looks to me like you lowered the neckline a bit on the finished dress. How did you do that?
Thank you far watching my videos! I actually did not change the neckline at all. I only changed the side seems and armhole seems. It just falls on my body differently after the alterations. I think on the "before" pic, I pulled the shirt a little more toward the back. So the neckline looks higher.
Nifty thrifty 🎉😅
😃
I thrifted a few good quality men's shirt and was looking for ideas to up cycle them. I went through at least 15 videos, this is the one for me! I love A-line skirt /dresses. The only concern I have is that the dress might be too short for me as I am 5'4" and don't like skirt too short. I am thinking to add a ruffle on the bottom, but then it breaks the A-lines. Any ideas to add length without changing the A-line shape?
Great question. You could try adding a strip of fabric at the waist. I'm thinking of doing a video about that soon. Also, it helps to start out with the biggest shirt you can find. Sometimes I an able to thrift shirts that are 4x large. They almost go to the floor on me! I have a stash of those but I don't want to make videos with them because I think it might be hard for other people to find them. But definitely I recommend starting with the biggest shirt you can find.
@@RefashioningWithRachel to add fabric at the waist sounds like a great idea! It will intentional. I look forward to your video for that! I will look out for the largest shirts for sure. Thank you so much!
Love the after dress! It is so flattering. You made it look easy.
Thank you!
And the way you made a button hole. I used to shy away from button holes, but now I am going to give it a try. You are just so smart!
Omg! I hate making button holes. Lol. I'm always trying to avoid them.
You are so talented! I learned quite a few new tricks. For example, use the thin strip of fabric to finish the neck hole, so simple and effective. And again, sew the cuff back onto the sleeve. So effective. I learned to sew the cuff with the sandwich method, but it was so hard to avoid fabric spill out on the inside. I had to rework several times to get it right. After watching your video, I am going to try your way. Thank you so much! You deserve a lot more subscribers.
Wow. Thank you so much for these compliments. It makes me so happy that there are people out there who find my videos helpful. I am so grateful for all my subscribers and I'm getting more and more every day. I will just keep making videos and hopefully people like them a much as you do! Thank you so much for being you. Good luck with your projects! Please share some pics of them if they work out. :)
What are the measurements of the sheet?
It was a queen fitted sheet.
Amazing!!!
Thank you!!
Great idea!! You make it look so easy!!
I'm so glad you like it!
Great idea & even better tutorial--Thanks for giving such a great project
Thank you so much for watching! I'm so glad you liked it.
You’re measuring in centimetres and inches? Side seam allowance looks like I inch (not 1 cm).
Yes, I think in metric but my machine is in inches. I should really choose one moving forward for my videos. Sorry for the confusion. To answer your question, I usually use one cm (1/2 inch) for seam allowance unless I want extra seam allowance for some reason.
Great tutorial!
Thank you so much!
First want to comet🎉🎉🎉
Than you for watching!!!
Love this tutorial! You did a great job making this look easy😊❤❤❤
Thank you!!!!
Nice, thanks
Thanks for watching!
Nicely done

Loved the embroidery idea, it’s exactly what I’ve done….great job!😀
Thank you! Even though my embroidery was a bit sloppy, I think it turned out really cute too!
You taught me so much!
Yay! This makes me so happy to hear!
Cute!
Thank you!
I would like to try this. Ty
Thank you for watching!
Хорошая идея !👍
🥰🥰
Looks like a masterpiece to me!! Well done!
Thank you! I was really happy with it too. I'm glad you like it.
great idea with thos bottom ends to make some small sleeves
Thank you! It worked out better than I thought it would.
6-29-24 To Rachel would you do a video on how to add darts to a garment? I was hard to see what you did with that fabric choice.
Yes, I will. That part is hard to explain because it just depends on a person's individual body. But I agree that I should do a better job explaining that step.
Love this! Going to try plus add some pockets.
Perfect! Send me a pic when it is finished!
Absolutely Beautiful & very Creative !! Thank you!!
Thank you for watching!
Absolutely love it thank you
Yay! Thank you!
Hello Rachel -- I have watched several of your videos, and have gathered lots of tips for converting a giant man's shirt I have into cute dress -- thanks! But the shirt i have has a giant stiff collar I need to cut off completely. Any suggestions among your many video for a new neckline? Maybe a V, or a circle. I could bias hem the cut-out, but something to watch would be great. If not, no biggie. I'm enjoying watching your videos and collecting the various instructions I need to get the dress I have in my mind. thanks again for your tutorials!
Yes, I would recommend cutting out the collar and then wrapping the raw edges with bias tape. I plan to do a sundress with this neckline in one of my next videos. Thank you so much for watching so many of my videos!
@@RefashioningWithRachel thanks for your prompt reply!
Wow, I love it!
Thank you!
Aunque no hablamos el mismo idioma coses hermoso y amo tus ideas, hace poco tiempo que me suscribí pero cada dia me enamoro de lo que haces❤❤❤ saludos desde México 😍😍😊😊😃😃
Muchas muchas gracias!
Fantastic! Even if you hit the half-price sale week at a popular craft/sewing store, the fabric for that dress would cost plenty. What a great idea to find fabric for so much less that's already half made. I'd like to see patch pockets on this dress. I need pockets for phone, etc. even around the house.
I love the idea of adding pockets! And I'm so glad you like the video. I usually get my thrifted shirts during the day of the week sale when they cost $1.99. A lot of the shirts are nice cotton or linen. And much cheaper than a yard or two of fabric. Plus, it is nice to make something new out of something that would otherwise be thrown away.
Your instructions are clear and easy to follow. I hope the imagination you show here inspires thousands of people to think out of the box about how to repurpose clothing!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you like the video. I have many more ideas that I have been doing at home. It's nice to make them into videos that some people may find useful.
It's fantastic Rachel. I'm thinking as a sewing enthusiast myself, how you might reduce the large collar/neck opening? This would take your design up a notch. Great work! A small booklet on how to do this refashion might sell well for you. I look forward to your upcoming videos.
Thank you so much for the advice and the words of encouragement! I like the idea of a booklet.
I like to just open the collar wider for a more relaxed look and re_iron it. I also seam rip the buttons and put them back down an inch or so closer to the shoulder seams. That's my easy solution at least
I like that idea.
I kind of messed up my first one because the men's shirt had a regular shoulder, and my shirt had a drop shoulder and I didn't realize at first that it mattered.
Ah! Yes, but hopefully, the shirt was just thrifted, so you didn't really waste anything special. And it was fun practice. And you could still do something from the scraps of that shirt. I have a pile of failed projects that I'm planning to cut up and turn into a quilt one of these days. I'm also planning to make a video of ideas for scraps of fabric.
Thanks for the tutorial. What kind of fabrics are good for undies?
Thanks for watching! Pretty much anything with enough stretch is good for undies. So most knits. This project only requires a little fabric, so it's a fun one for scraps or for experimenting with different fabrics. In the end, just choose whatever fabric you like to feel on your skin.
Very useful video! Maybe I missed it, but did you specify the type of stich you used? Regular zig zag? Stretch stitch? Thank you!
I used a zigzag stitch so it could stretch with the fabric. I'm glad you liked the video!
What needle did you use? Thank you - it's a great project and terrific video. 👍🏼
I just used a standard needle. Thank you for liking the video!
This is a super-helpful tutorial! Enough detail without being way too long. Just what I was looking for. Thanks!
Thank you! I'm so glad you liked it!
Awesome! thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching!

If you sewed through the cuffs, how did you unbutton to turn them back on the reveal?
Nice question. I sewed through the cuffs along the underarm seem line which is a few inches away from the button placket. If you look at any button-down shirt and pinch in a little bit of the cuff right where the seem line is, you will see it does not affect the buttons. But you will end up with a seem in the cuff. Which is fine if you sew carefully and make sure the ends line up. Also, finish off the raw edges and stich them down on the inside of the cuff.
