How to Upcycle an Old Flannel Shirt with Bleach , Appliques and Lace
Vložit

- This is an upcycling DIY video on how to turn a boring flannel shirt into an artsy tunic. In this episode, we take a thrifted flannel shirt and strategically bleach certain areas, where we will add appliques. We then sew lovely flower and whimsical bird appliques, that were cut from thrifted curtains, bed skirts and pillows. The icing on the cake is a romantic row of vintage lace and crochet that borders the bottom edge of the shirt, making it a trendy and flattering tunic length. This would be a fun project if you want to jazz up your wardrobe, or a wonderful piece to make and sell. Enjoy!

I like that shirt.
You never disappoint me just straight up amazing.
I want more flannel please. Flannel plaid shirts can no longer be found here in central NC. I will ask friends to go thru their closets. Thanku Tracy. OH and I use gel bleach in a recycled detergent squeeze bottle for making swirls, skipping the swiping method. Then rinse it out under the bath tub spigot before putting thru the washer. The pink jean jacket I did this to sold in just a few days. Victory! Lavoie Boho NC USA 2023

I have been making upcycled flannels to take to a craft fair. I take a bunch of flannel shirts outside and lay them on my driveway and sprinkle bleach on them with a squirt bottle. After they sit for about 10 minutes, I rinse them with a water hose and then wash and dry in my machines. Then I get to decorate them with Lace and patchwork and parts of old quilts. I have been collecting doilies and trims and cutter quilts for years. I have several dozen fancy flannel shirts ready to go for fall festivals. Love the one you made! 😊
Omgosh tour flannels so amazing! Best of luck with your craft fairs!!!🤗💕💞💓💗
Another fun video! This could be a wonderful flannel bathrobe, housecoat . A child size one would be adorable, too. Thank you for sharing. 💜
I agree!!🤗💕💕💕💕
Oooh. Excellent idea. Men's section in the thrift have long flannel robes. ✨
@thecat5620 yes!🤗💕💞💓💗
So I found a map where a buried box was hidden. I dug up the box and found tmeyers handmade CZcams channel. I have been binging your videos forgetting to stop to eat. LOL. You are my alter-ego for sure. This project is a home run. Thank you. I aspire to be as creative as you. @76 years old I’m taking my time but I’m not giving up. Thank you, thank you & thank you. My last video was about recycling shipping air pillows. I also have a video on using coaxial cable ends as tassel tops. It’s all such fun.
Omgosh you sound sooo creative! Thank you so much for being here!🤗💖💕💞💓

Awww I appreciate that so so much! Thank you for listening to the podcast, I was a little out of my comfort zone lol🤗💕💞💓💗💕💞💓💗
That came out great Traci and I loved the podcast!
Thank you so much 🤗💖💕💞
I love the shirt! Thank you, again!! I’ll catch the podcast in a bit…I’m soooo happy for you! 😘💕
Thank you so so much 🤗💖💕💞💓
Traci, I just found your videos a few days ago and I am enjoying them so much. I have been sewing for close to 60 years and I have gathered a craft room full of trims, buttons, vintage sheets and fabrics. I am not able to do much anymore due to arthritis in my hands, but your videos make me want to try again. My adult granddaughter would love the vintage and boho looks you demo in your tutorials. Thank you for the great ideas! The flannel jacket was amazing- I would never have guessed what it was before!
I wanted to mention a tool for your sewing machine that I think you might like. It is called a ruffler or a ruffling foot. They are made to fit most sewing machines and ruffle the fabric as you sew, so you don't have to pleat it- although sometimes pleats are what you want, of course. But the ruffler is adjustable to make the ruffles subtle, at a lower number, or you can adjust it to feed up to 4'x the fabric as what you are adding the ruffle to. I used it a lot in making home decor like curtains. Joann's or Hobby Lobby may sell them, or they may be cheaper on Amazon. Have a great day! 😊
Wow, I didn't know! I will have to check out a ruffle foot. Sounds like it would save me a lot of work! Thank you 🤗💕💕💕💕💕
Be sure you get the exact ruffler for your machine's model number, not just the brand since they can be different for different models. Also there are tutorial videos on You Tube (I just love tutorials! Lol). Thank you again for all the great inspiration!
@@almawalker6617 thank you!🤗💖💖💖💖
Just finished my flannel shirt , using your tutorial. I had a collection of wide white crocheted trim which I dyed pink and toned down the color with tea dyeing. I made a pocket with a little vintage doily trimmed in dusty blue tatting.
Thank you SO much for these wonderful videos! ❤
Omgosh that's so awesome!🤗💕💕💕
Well i have started thanks to you upcycled two things for my granddaughters but this i would love for me ❤
That's awesome!🤗❤❤❤❤
Traci, once again. Thank you so much for your inspiration and motivation. Not just in upcycling, but in general. I've been through hell over the summer. All I had was my phone my crocheting and a pair of overalls to redo. I was in the hospital and rehab. I had to liven up those boring overalls! Thank you, Traci.
Lol, with the crocheting, I'm making my own lace and doilies
Aww my pleasure! Hope you are doing well! You sound like me, I need a project, always!🤗💞💞💞💞
Wow!!! Impressive!🤗💞💞💞
Love this project , and listened to the podcast. Your an inspiration! 💖💖💖

Once again, I am visualizing a design, what I have in my house to cut up, & what I have to beg, trade, or run to thrift store for. 😊 Thanks. Always fun and instructive videos. ❤ I hope my creation will be on par with yours. If not, the neighbor's may really scratch their heads.🙀

Sounds like you have a treasure trove of supplies!!🤗💕💞💓💗
Traci, this is a great video. The podcast is great. You've really inspired me. I go to my thrift store every week and I can't stop upcycling. I will add to your mantra " Be brave" is "be ruthless" when you cut up your clothing!!!!
I love it!!!🤗💞💕💖💗
I love this shirt! Your tutorials never disappoint, Traci! 💗
Thank you so so much!😘💕💞💓💗
Just got my old/ new sewing machine. I'm sure it's going to be constantly used on beautiful projects like these 🩷🩷🩷

@@tmyershandmade978 What a lovely interview on the podcast with you ❤️ It was so truly interesting to "get to know you more" 🤗 Your experiences and your thoughts were very giving 😍
That you are a truly wonderful Lady is clear in your super videos, but it was a true treat to hear more of the woman behind the scene. Thank you so much for your openness, wise advices, pepping and great generosity sharing and caring for everyone ❤️🤗😘
@65silvanina aww I appreciate that so so much 🤗💕💞💓💖💕💞
Absolutely gorgeous 💕
Thank you so much 🤗💞💞💞
So cute. Great ideas for Christmas gift giving. Love it!
Yes!!!🤗❤❤❤
Gorgeous ❤
Another amazing tutorial. Going to listen to your interview in a minute. This technique with the bleach would be superb for tons of other crafts, but the recycled shirt is beyond amazing, thank you Tracy! 🤩😍😍😍
I appreciate that so so much, thank you!🤗💕💕💕💕
I’m so going to give this a go
Love this one. Beautiful.
Thank you so much 🤗💕💞💓💗
Love it !!!! Sooooo cute !!!
Thank you so much!!!🤗💕💕💕💕
A video idea I have I figured might be fun for you and all of us, would be to go on a thrifting scavenger hunt where you could make a list of things easy to find thrifting and then get those items, and use them all to make something of your choice!
You could go in several different directions, and each person could make it their own, but be part of whatever you choose to create for that video or series.
Just an idea I thought I’d suggest. ❤
Ooooooh! I like it!🤗💕💕💕💕💕💕
I am going to have a go!
Thankyou Tracy!
Aww yayy!🤗💕💕💕
As a larger size person I thank you for making this! Is it for you or a friend?
It's for me, a friend or to sell someday🤗💞💞💞💞
I second your appreciation, Jamie!! Thank you so much!❤
@kayk8123 🤗💕💕💕💕

I love your work so much 😊.
Thank you so much!!!🤗❤❤❤❤
Love this so much!
Thank you 🤗💖💖💖💖
The podcast is amazing. I’m so happy for you. I bet you never dreamed you would get so popular? I’ve even noticed on some of the upcycling groups that people are starting to call “tmyers” a type of brand. It just thrills my heart to see women succeed like this. I’ve been making some upcycled clothing and selling on ebay. Everything I’ve made has sold so far. Thank you for sharing your skills!
Aww I appreciate that so so much! Congrats on your selling success!!!!🤗💖💖💖💖💖
I LOVE this! ❤️
Thank you so much 🤗💕💕💕💕
Love this so much! You are an excellent teacher ❤. Thank you for the tips and inspiration 😉

Обалдеть!!Ну где берете вы,такую голову,такую выдумку.Руки тоже золотые,но все идеи родит голова.Мне очень жаль,что нет перевода,на мой родной язык и я не понимаю,что вы говорите.Но то,что вы творите,это безподобно
Awww so sweet, thank you 🤗💖💕💞💓
Another unique and inspiring project 🎉 must admit I was a tad freaked out by the bleaching but then it all came together beautifully with the flower and bird appliques - i knew it would ❤
I so enjoyed listening to the interview too!
Thank you so much!!!🤗💕💞💓💗
I love your channel such cute ideas!
Thank you so much!!!🤗💕💞💓💗
Une superbe idée de nouveau !! Bravo à vous !!!
Thank you!!😘💕💞💓💗
@@tmyershandmade978 I have a small question, have you ever made a bag or clutch with a retro style metal closure?? thank you!
Great tutorial! I wish you would have tried it on to style it with pants and accessories so I could see the look altogether.
بجد افكارك رائعة وشجاعة👏👏👏
Thank you so so much 🤗💕💞💓💗
Cool as!!!!
🤗💕💞💓💗
Great video
Thank you!🤗❤❤❤
Im trying this on two shirts right now. Fingers crossed…lol
Yayyy!🤗💖💖💖💖
Thank you Tracy.
My pleasure 🤗❤❤❤
My pleasure 🤗❤❤❤
Thank you for your video. I have never tried doing a final before but I wanted to and I knew that I was not going to do the whole process of all these different buckets with bleaching etc.. I was going to try to paint it on or something and just see what happens and as I thought it works thank you.
Best of luck!!🤗💞💞💞💞
Шедевр !
Aww thank you 🤗💞💞💞
Darling! 🥰❤🥰
Thank you so much 🤗💖💖💖💖
I have to ask you this: Did you have a shop in Solvang California? You look so familiar to me. My husband and I went there once and I saw a shop and I met the women who owned it. I think it was you. I love your talent. Thank you for sharing.
Not me🤗❤❤❤❤❤
I absolutely love your style! Any ideas for button up short jean dress?
Thank you so much! I'd have to do some brain storming on the dress🤗💖💖💖
This is great Traci! Any tips on sewing curves? I good on the straight away, not so good around curves...🥰
I just take my time and lift the presser foot a lot. I'm hearing there is a presser foot quilters use for free flow sewing. Maybe a viewer can comment on this about what exactly to get?🥰❤❤❤
Hi , You do such beautiful work! If I was to try this could I use t-shirt material as the appliqué? I thought maybe I could use iron on interface?.Thanks for sharing your creative gift with us💜
Sure, I've done that🥰💗💗💗💗
Best wishes for surgery and traveling. We will miss you.
I will miss you, for sure! Thank you so much for reaching out 🤗💞💞💞💞
Would you please tell us what kind of gold thread you use?
Thanks Traci, I really love the lace. May I ask a question please.? I have a pair of silk pants and silk plain tunic, both ecru but not a set so one slightly darker than the other. How would you design these? Tia xx
That would take some brain storming🤗❤❤❤
🌺🌺💗💗
😘💕💞💓💗
how do you stop it from bleading and spreading bleach through the stencil my bleached shirts look like blobs
This one isn't stenciled😊
