I Made a Dress in an Hour because Micarah Tewers Told Me To
I haven't made a jersey dress before so after watching Micarah Tewers recreate an entire clothing line in about a day, I knew I had to try it at least once. Lo and behold, it was just as easy as she said it would be! Yes, I had to make it twice, but it was so much easier the second time around!
Go check out her video because she's amazing czcams.com/video/co5m4MiG0JE/video.htmlsi=mXdvnUkSKeO6AqjL
And if you need fabric to try this yourself, I gotchu fam!

DIY Viral Tik Tok Cider Overalls // they're crazy easy to make yourself!
zhlédnutí 22KPřed 14 dny
It seems like every other ad on my Tik Tok feed is for those cute floral overalls from Cider. But after some investigation, I found they A) were made out of polyester and that's not my favorite fabric, and B) they don't look too complicated and I think I can sew them myself. Lo and behold, they were just a pair of shorts with a bib and some straps! So now it's your turn to try to make your own ...

    • @KatieMakesStuff
      @KatieMakesStuff Před 10 dny

      Thanks for noticing the rug. My brother- and father-in-law used to make them in Philadelphia. They unfortunately had to stop business but their rugs are made from 100% New Zealand wool and they're fantastic to use while sewing.

  • @missemily3264
    @missemily3264 Před 10 dny

    Those swim cover ups are really cute, in really liked the shorts. This is a great use of old towels. Are all of the beach tops cropped? I know that we are talking beach goers at the beach, but some of us are rather body conscious. I think a longer jacket that covers the tummy and but would be nice. Perhaps I'm projecting my own need to minimize my tummy. Anyway, when you brought up towel beach cover ups, I immediately thought of vintage bath robes and cover up patterns made from towels that I've seen in 50's magazines. There are some really cute designs. I also think the vintage romper of the 30's thru 60's. Would be great in terry. The romper I'm thinking of often came in a pattern that usually included a skirt and short sweater blouse. Good luck, I hope they sell well.

    • @KatieMakesStuff
      @KatieMakesStuff Před 9 dny

      All of the vests are cropped, but I made them for a specific person who likes that style. I'd probably make a longer version for myself. I've also thought about making pants from two towels where each leg is a different pattern. Very funky but probably pretty cool. I think a terry cloth romper would be VERY cool!

  • @jenpen7888
    @jenpen7888 Před 10 dny

    They look so good ....the only thing I’d change is the placement of the back pockets. I’d drop them down so they hug your bum 😊

    • @KatieMakesStuff
      @KatieMakesStuff Před 10 dny

      Yeah, I totally guessed on the placement of those before seeing the shorts together. Next time I want to drop them down just a bit!

    • @KatieMakesStuff
      @KatieMakesStuff Před 10 dny

      I've seen some really nice, flowy jersey dresses that would be great for anyone. Maybe something more A-line would work better? Start the flair at the waistline to give a bit more room. Get the top set the way you like it then play around with the skirt shape and size.

  • @ksgraham3477
    @ksgraham3477 Před 10 dny

    Cute look, but I'll never ever wear overalls or any other form of onesie. Takes just too much effort to just pee, having to basically undress to do so. Same thing for those cute wrap shorts and pants....you have to keep them off the floor and totally take them off to pee! Down with unfunctional fashion.

    • @KatieMakesStuff
