How To Upcycle And Layer Thrifted Clothes To Create An Expensive Looking Boutique Outfit

- If you have a creative spirit AND love thrifting, then this video (actually this entire channel) is for you. In this video we will be taking three ordinary thrifted pieces of clothing and creating a whimsical boho and/or lagenlook outfit. I will walk you through some very simple sewing techniques that will elevate and breathe new life into tired old pieces. We will make harem pants, add a pink velvet heart applique to a long sleeve t shirt and add vintage lace to a lacy duster type garment. The result will be a one-of-a-kind boutique style outfit...on a dime. Enjoy and have fun!

I just wanted to take a moment to let you know how much I appreciate your wonderful CZcams channel! Your creative ideas are truly inspiring and bring so much joy. Keep up the fantastic work - your creativity shines through every video! 🌸
I appreciate that so so much!! Thank you 🤗💖💖💖💖
You are a gift for all of us. Thank you for your brilliance ♥️ The duster ruffle is gorgeous 🥰
Thank you so so much 🤗💖💕💞💞
As always, beautiful!!
A tip about shirring the duster sleeves. If you don't have a machine that the sleeve can slide onto, you could rip out the underarm seam, to make the sleeve flat, attach the elastic, then stitch it back closed. (definitely not saying remove the entire sleeve...that becomes work that just isn't fun)
Excellent tip!!!🤗💖💖💖💖💖
I love this example of how to style an entire outfit! For myself, I would add either a full skirt slightly shorter than the pants, or a loose tunic or short dress over, instead of the top. Thanks for the inspiration !!
Love love love the pants 🤩!
I'd wear those every day. This whole outfit I just gorgeous.
You know, I'm making one of my rooms a sewing room, just because of you. Yay!
Having the time of my life.
Thank you, Traci, for the truckloads of inspiration.
Happy New Year to you, from Sweden ✨💖✨

Awww I love that sooooo much!! Have fun!!🤗💕💞💓💓💗
Трейси , вы классная! обожаю встречать таких людей на улице, как правило , так одеваются Волшебники.🥰
Thank you!🤗💞💞💞
You take me back to my 'hippie' days in a good way. These styles never go out; thank you for the great tips and ideas.
My pleasure 🤗💞💞💞💞
The ruffle made such a difference on the cover/ jacket, it was cute to begin with, but Wow! Thanks for sharing your ideas!
My pleasure 🤗💕💞💓💗
like this, but for my age and taste I need to make the pantaloons differently. thanks, you are so talented.
🤗💖💖💖💖
I’m a sewer by trade on the upholstery side. But always enjoyed sewing clothes if the pattern was easy. This puts a whole new meaning into clothes Just these simple techniques you teach is so empowering. Thank you.
Years ago I was given several swatch books of upholstery fabrics. I stitched them together and made a neat bedspread! It is very warm in the winter! I would love to have more of those books. I made a lot of other things too.
Thank you so so much 🤗🤗🤗🤗💕
I love sample books!😘💕💕💕
On the weekend I thrifted a bag of the most beautiful fabric for $2. Turned out it was a jacket that had been cut out and mostly sewn together. So I watched your post, raided my stash and finished sewing it while lining it and making it my own. It's been such a journey and I can now say I have made myself a piece of clothing. Thanks for the inspiration.
I love that!!!🤗❤❤❤❤
"Stuck in your pants," made me laugh. I would be stuck in my pants for sure!
Lol!!!🤗💕💕💕💕
Oh my gosh...that is so cute on you! You are definitely a trailblazer!
Thank you 🤗💖💖💖
You definitely have a special vision . Amazing! I love to watch and listen to you.
Thank you so so much 🤗💞💞💞💞
How amazing, Traci! I especially love the duster !
Thank you so much!🤗💖💖💖💖
I get so excited when I see a new tutorial. I love everything you create. Always look forward to seeing more. Thank you so much for sharing 🤗❤️
I appreciate that so so much!!🤗❤❤❤
I think that what is cool is that we can take these techniques and put our own style and spin on them. Thank you so much for taking the time and showing us. I never knew how to do this with elastic!
Yesss!!!🤗💕💕💕💕
You look really cute you are so creative ❤I love it
Thank you so much!!🤗💖💖💖
❤❤❤❤I love the crushed velvet heart on the shirt! (Yes, I would have passed over the shirt too.) Love the harem pants idea! Since I've never worn harem pants, I may have made them into gauchos. I would cut the sleeves halfway to the elbow and add lace, as well to the bottom of the shirt. I'd probably get that nice duster caught on everything and rip it!
😊😊😊
Adorable! Now I want to turn a ton of my skirts into harem pants. Also the duster 🤍🤍🤍
Love it!🤗❤❤❤❤
Traci, all your work is so creative and inspiring, you are a talented artist. You are also a generous and talented teacher. Your instructions are so clear and so easy to follow, I would have to say you are one of the best and clearest instructors I have ever watched.
I appreciate that soooo much, thank you!🤗❤❤❤❤❤
This video is just what I needed for some items Ive held onto in my stash! Cant thanku enough! This is a beautiful project. Thanku from Robin in NC USA.
My pleasure!🤗❤❤❤
Just wanted to tell you again what fabulous videos you make! How you can continue to see all these different creations in your minds eye amazes me.I was always told I was creative but you really take it to a higher level. Love these pants, but the duster is fantastic. I would give anything to be able to find these to start with. I so look forward to your videos! I have them all saved on a drive so I can look back at certain parts of the video and see just hos you proceeded. You are most definitely the best and most laid back instructor I have ever watched on here. Thank you again for taking your time to share your creativity with us! Best wishes, Carla
Awww I appreciate that so so much!!!! Thank you 🤗💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
I like what you did with the cover up. Simple but effective.
Thank you 🤗💞💞💞💞
I really enjoy your videos, they are so creative and inspirational. One of the things I would enjoy, and maybe others would too, is if you would go thrifting and show us how you choose from the multitude of clothing items in thrift stores. Because I look at stuff and some things I can see could be upcycled but other things I would never consider. I think a video showing your process for choosing thrifted clothing would be really fun! Thank you for sharing your amazing ideas with us!
I hope to make another one someday🤗💖💖💖💖
I'm sorry to gush, but your videos are just so wonderful! It strikes me that you are such a good teacher, at each step I'm learning new things, but the beauty of your videos is that these things I'm learning can be applied to my own projects, because you also teach us creativity and thinking outside of the box. Thank you, I'm full of my own ideas already and am looking forward to revamping old pieces of clothing.
Aww that's the best compliment!!! Thank you so much 🤗💖💖💖💖
Super cute!!! I didn't see that outfit coming, but I knew you'd do your thang!! 😊❤
Lol thank u so much 🤗❤❤❤
I've just discovered you and I absolutely LOVE what you do. Free, easy and shreddie... Fabulous. So, I've found my grand mothers sewing machine (1954 electric Singer). My partner serviced it. It's brilliant!

Love Sally 😁

What great thrifting upcycling! I really like the cover up transformation the best then the shirt. The skirt transformation was interesting and different. Great job on them all!
Thank you so so much 🤗❤❤❤❤
This is a whole vibe. Such a awesome and fun look. You take wearable art to new heights. Love it. It's wonderful that you enjoy sharing. Who knew upcycling could be so much fun. Last year I didn't buy any new clothes...of course shoes and fabric doesn't count 😂. But I upcycle everything and I'm planning on doing the same this year thanks to your wonderful channel. You are very talented. Thanks for sharing my friend. And as you know I am never disappointed ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you so so much 🤗❤❤❤❤
I love your creativity! Thanks for sharing your ideas. So fun 😊
Thanks so much! 😊
FaBuLoUs, I’m excited to make some pants out of a skirt❤❤
🤗💖💕💞💓
I love the skirt, the velvet skirt and the duster. I think they look like spring together. The ruffle does add impact to the duster. I like elastic ruching it's very feminine. The dark accessories add a pop. Very good inexpensive ensemble 👍 😀
Thank you so much!!🤗❤❤❤❤
I totally love it all! Just So very boho👍❤️
🤗💖💕💞💓
Love it!❤
Thank you so much 🤗💕💕💕💕
WOW! I don't know if you ever see the comments. You are so good at all you make. I love the duster I call it that you made. It's one of a kind, no one has a duster like this one. I don't like the pants part. That's not for me maybe some people but not me. Thank You,🥰🐾
Thank you so much!!🤗💖💖💖💖
Traci is AMAZING about responding to comments!!!!

Happy new year!!🤗❤❤❤❤
I have this skirt ❤, gonna do this tutorial tomorrow
Yayyy!😘💕💕💕💕
Absolutely love this whole outfit. Every week you spark my creativity. I will be doing my first ever dye project tomorrow. I am very nervous 😂. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us ❤
Awww thank you so much! Don't be nervous, dying is so exciting! I'm here for you if you have any questions (or moral support lol).🤗💞💞💞💞
Thank you Traci ... I bought my Rit dye and reading the instructions it says to use ColorStay Dye Fixative straight after dyeing cotton. Do you do this?
@@JulieLewin I don't, but I should. Sometimes the dye fades, sometimes it doesn't.
Ok great thank you Traci ... I will buy some and use it 😀
Relaxed Chic ❣❣❣❤....
🤗❤❤❤❤
I have that same duster 😂 they must have dyed it because it only came in white as far as I know. TJ Maxx ( I dyed mine too!) Guess I’ll be breaking out the sewing machine this weekend!!!
Yayy! Have fun!🤗💖💖💖
❤ your mind so cute ❤❤❤
❤❤❤
Io avrei tenuto la gonna in vellutino e il cuore l'avrei fatto con l' altra gonna ma su un color di maglia sul beige.
Ma comunque brava hai tanta fantasia❤
❤❤❤❤
🤗💖💕💞💓💗
Very talented lady you definitely have a great eye for this, I love everything you do. Do you have any upcycling suggestions for taking boring plain linen shirts ? They are great to wear in the Australian summer but they are very plain 😊
I often add ruffles to plain white shirts. You can also add interesting white vintage needlework to decorate them. 🤗💕💕💕💕
❤❤❤😊
🤗💖💖💖💖
I really like the idea for those pants. Can you put a cuff on each leg: or, would the legs need to be cut differently?
Sure, I think you could do a cuff. I might cut the arch slightly higher🤗💞💞💞💞
Wow you really took that outfit from drab to fab! Those pants are perfect for the (usually) hot climate where I live. I'd like to make them just a little bit extra by altering the the legs hems in some way do you or your viewers have any ideas?
You could salvage the fabric from a V shape cut and use it in the crotch. Gather the bottom of legs into a cuff.
@@janice2992thanks you've given me some good ideas. I can't quite visualize the crotch reinforcement do you know where I could see an example?
@@franambrose8667 It's not reinforcing the crotch but rather giving you more room. Check out Asian pants cutting on you tube. Do you know that a diamond shape insert in the armpit of a top gives more room if too tight. It's the same principle. It can also be done in the waist on a dress if it's too tight. I have been watching how to cut Indian blouses with short sleeves. They are very fitted but good for under garments. Asians are very good at cutting clothing. I think men are great at it. Check out Christopher Sartorial he is a professional pattern drafter with a lovely voice. 💖🖖
You could use the same ruching technique Traci used on the sleeves of the duster at the bottom of the outside seams of the pants. And/or a ruffle at the hem?
@@juliekeil8791 thank you, that sounds really cute.
Will you come to TN and help me with my wardrobe? 😂 I have so many pieces that are similar to what you have! I just need to "fancy" them up!
I am a plus size lady. I would love to have a dress form that is adjustable but it is not in my budget. Do you have any suggestions as to what I can use instead?
Gosh I really don't know what you could use instead. Maybe viewers will see this and have ideas.🤗💖💗💓💞💕
Hi Tracy. I was wondering if you can machine wash and dry your creations or if you need to hand wash or dry clean. Thanks.
They all vary. I machine wash a lot of them in cold water, gentle cycle, line dry.🥰❤❤❤
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤
❤😁🦋🍀👍🙋♀️
🤗💕💕💕💕💕
Hola que estilo es
Boho or lagenlook🥰
@@tmyershandmade978 😀
Uh no this does nothing for me, I usually love your ideas but not sure I can go for these pants. But that is just me!🤣
I would wear them around the yard to hang laundry or lounging, Tracy can rock anything ,great idea for outdated skirts
🤗💕💕💕💕
I love it❤
Thank you so much 🤗❤❤❤❤
