July 2020 update from my email newsletter:
Last month I had announced (on Instagram and CZcams) that all my June earnings would be donated to organizations supporting black lives. June ended up being an extra high month for ad earnings, so I chose to make both a one-time donation to NAACP, BLM, and Nation Bail Fund Network, as well as recurring donations for four months that all add up to my total June earnings.

ABOUT:
Hi, I'm Wendy, and I have been on a sewing journey ever since my mom taught me how to make little outfits for my dolls. I studied engineering and business, had an office job for two years, and then quit to embark on a lifelong sewing adventure on CZcams. Subscribe to join me on the adventure, and maybe make your own clothing too! Thanks for watching ❤️ - Jak na to + styl
You should call these knock-offs "wenty" :D
@@dwaynerocco6723 Cool! I did the same and it worked.
It sure is great we are not fake accounts made solely for the purpose to advertise to gullible people!
@@firstnamelastname6016 LOLLLLLL
❤ it!
I love how calm and steady your voice is. Everyone on CZcams yells and scream 24/7 in fake excitement and you don't do that.
I watch her for the same reason, I don't even sew (I knit though)
Whew now that this thrift flip is done I wanted to share some helpful tips!
1. The ideal thrifted denim would have been thick and sturdy, with little to no stretch. I chose my jeans based on trying to hit a sweet spot between colour, weight, stretch and waist diameter, but I do wish it had been a bit thicker with less stretch!
2. I never explained why I didn't do the crisscross back on the top, it's purely personal, I just prefer the way straight straps look on my back
3. For knits, it's ideal to use a zigzag stitch and even better to use a ballpoint needle. I know my straight stitches are not the conventionally correct way, I just like the control they provide on measurement lengths and I knew my top was not going to be dependent on heavy stretch performance when worn. Not trying to lead people astray on knits I'm sorry!!
these came out so cute💗 and for knits you can use a straight stitch as long as you pull the fabric while sewing!! it’s called an elasticized straight stitch :-) this way the stitches won’t pop!!
this might sound stupid but what is the color of the thread that you used for the denim?
@@mrsmojet1 Not sure sorry, even amongst denim threads there are different colours so I literally brought these jeans with me to the store to find the right match!
On your brother machine you should have a strech stitch that is straight. Mine does. It sews each stitch 3 times and also works great for top stitching as it makes a nice thick visible stitch
Can you recreate Blackpink Jennie's Red Dress next?? Pleeaaseee 😭😭😭😭
I’m a black woman and you’re one of the few non black people who have addressed black lives matter in a way that didn’t make me cringe or make me feel as though it was slyly half hearted 💕🙏🏾
Fr
So true!
Heyyy I totally support and understand the movement but I just wanna tell you that you shouldn’t donate to BLM. The money doesn’t go to black communities, it goes to political campaigns, these political campaigns don’t help black communities either. You should opt to donate directly to any program in your community that actually help black people. It’s just not fair that this money isn’t going where they say and people are just so blinded.
Lol well she needs new subscribers views most don't support it even my black family members don't support a thug gang. But we don't see color only racist see color
HIPPIECHICKSMOMMA a thug gang? Lord
the skirt came out SOOOO WELL!!! Can someone call project runway!
yesss!!!!!! keeping us boujie on a budget
I uploaded a thrift flip on my channel a while back! Would love if you watched it💗
It really hurt when you said the pockets had to go. I was upset.
I really want to make this skirt, I'm trying to figure out if I really want to pick the waistband apart so I can try and keep the pockets....I so hate seam ripping!
@@michellemaltman9267 You can do it!! It will be worth it :)
@@michellemaltman9267 I think some jeans pockets can be turned inside out almost completely, so they won't get under the stitching. I guess you can assess it yourself, but it's just what i thought. Wish you luck with the project)
If they can't be sewn around and you don't want to futz about with seam ripping and stuff, just do your decorative seams over the existing pockets, then just cut away the old pocket bags around the decorative seams as well as the pocket edge seams and waistband or wherever they're attached. Then just hand-stitch in a new set! You can buy replacement pocket bags already made from fabric stores and online, so you don't even have to make them yourself.
I understand I was sad too :'( at least the back pockets stayed!
I am LOVING these more trendy/current DIY's! I have a list on my phone of things I've been wanting to make/flip and this Fenty skirt as well as the Dion Lee corset top were my # 1 & 2. You're reading my mind!! I love your videos so much thank you so much for such amazing, informative, as well as entertaining content. Your hard work is so so appreciated
Dude, that facing technique was clutch. Awesome! And added bonus - it made the garment look whole from the peep angles at the thigh cutouts.
It's amazing that you can afford to give a whole month of earnings. That's so incredibly generous
Thank you for being aware of what’s going on with BLM. You are one of my favorite youtubers and it’s such a relief to know you understand the complexities of our movement. THANK YOU. The skirt is also amazing !!!
Waited to see this !! Thanks so much. We appreciate it. Though we come for escape we do appreciate that you are taking the time to consider our lives as we do yours. Riri is black so it was just to tackle that topic. You also are a huge inspiration for us and help so much with all things sewing.
Of course you absolutely slayed the recreations as usual. We can only wish to be as talented as Wendy!
Wendy I've watched you for years and you keep getting better and better!! ❤
I don’t even need to watch this to know you can 😍 but I’ll still watch it anyway bc you always inspire me and my videos :)
I’m definitely gonna try to recreate that denim skirt
OH MY GOODNESS!! I NEED TO MAKE THAT SKIRT!!! Thank you Wendy 🙏🏾💜💜
Oh my goodness the skirt came out amazing!! Get it girl!!
Who else saw the notification and dropped everything their doing...... 😂
Thank you for contributing to this important platform and for being open to wanting to understand more about a group's history in order to understand the present better. This shows real sophistication, compassion and maturity.
THANK YOU FOR STANDING UP!!!! IT TOOK A LOT OF COURAGE AND GUTS TO DO WHAT YOU DID! I AM PROUD TO BE A MEMBER OF THIS CHANNEL
the TALENT inside of this woman is ASTRONOMICAL!!!
wendy!! please make a video on you tailoring pieces from your closet (if any) specifically, can you show us how to fix a wide neckline on a t-shirt? it also has a graphic on both the front and back. a series of simple alterations will be so fun to watch! ily 💞
ok but her lisp is actually really cute 🥺❤️
Girl i wasn't so sure about the skirt but then u put it on :o stunning!!
Wendy, you inspired me to get into the sewing hobby and now i have a sewing machine and i do a lots of small around the house projects. The joy of constructing the garment and making it and then being able to hold the final product and wear it show it off is a-ma-zing. A wholesome feeling and it was just what i needed in my life. I am a medical student and now i do sewing as a hobby to relieve my stress and its all thanks to you. I nearly did all your basic sewing projects. I love you so so much, keep being great at creativity, editing and detail-work. I hope all the best for you! ❤️
I love how calm and cute your videos are!💛 I’ve been making some sewing videos of my own and it’s really fun!✨
I'm obsessed! 😍 Great job, Wendy! ❤️
Hotel apache's wasted thunder at the end! One of my favourite artists! Excellent sewing skills on these flips Wendy!
The skirt looked so good in the end! Redemption for sure! Great job Wendy! 💙🌈💙
YESSSSSS :)
THAT SKIRT WAS EVERYTHING WENDY! GREAT JOB
the pants to skirt DIY is pretty easy and so much fun , I wear the one made all the time :"D
Love the tank top, so elegant. The cut outs are so brave and you have the "youthful" shape that makes it work...
this is SO random, but the thing you do with your right eyebrow in the intro is so cute 🤣 it made me laugh. great videos btw 🥰 been watching for the last 3 or so years!
Wow! Even when you started to alter the green top, it looked so cute! Thank you for inspiring me!
Can I just say that I put a smile on every time she says "centimeters". Its really good to see a video of someone that uses that same system of measurement as you lol
i’m OBSESSED w the skirt omg
Love these tutorials! keep killing it
I uploaded a thrift flip on my channel a while back! Would love if you watched it💗
Wendy, you put your heart and soul into that skirt. I’m a beginning sewer and I was stressed 😩
You're amazing. And always so inspiring. Waiting for my annual leave so I can tackle some sewing! Just wanted to say because of your videos I think it's possible for me to sew an actual garment too!
Love how calming your videos are and you did a great job 👏
I literally gasped once you put on the skirt!! it looks incredible!!! I must try it omg
Wendy... you went off with that flip. That skirt, especially, looked AMAZING!
Thank you Wendy for standing with black lives 💖 you give me hope
Incredible transformation!
OMG WENDY DID THAT !!!! That shirt is so cute !
Love it!! That blanket stitch takes up SO MUCH THREAD I’ve emptied my bobbin so many times trying to finish seams.
That's what I found, too, and it takes a long time!. I wanted nicer finished seams than a zig zag, and the overcast foot definitely fit the bill, but the time and thread use finally pushed me to learn to use the serger I found at a garage sale over a year ago for $25. Turns out the serger, even though it is almost 30 years old, is absolutely great! It goes great with my 30+ year old Pfaff Hobby 382 sewing machine.
I love that ur flips are always so trendy yet out of box
The rounded mirrors look FANTASTIC! Well done!
Thank you!! We really love them (and also SO relieved that project is finally over hahaha)
I have to say, i love love love your earrings! They suit you so well!! + Love how the pieces turned out especially the top!
You’re literally inspirational!!
Completely and utterly blown away!!!! So awesomeeeeeee and I’m so inspired
You are such an inspiration for my sewing projects!!
Wendy I'm SUPER impressed by this video! Both pieces came out great, you just get better and better each vid! Also, the fact that you're acknowledging the BLM movement and trying to take tangible actions in addressing it, ugh! We stan! Keep creating, please!
You are so talented! That skirt looks straight off the runway
The skirt turned out to be perfect!
WENDYYYYYYYY that skirt is everything!!!!!!!!!
Loveeee the skirt remake 😍
Turned out amazing!!
Haha I just realized that I was wearing a tie dye shirt and the same necklace Wendy was wearing while watching this video. She’s very much inspired my style 😂
New to your channel, and hoping to start sewing soon. Already a fan of how real you are, plus your immense talent. But when i realized you're socially conscious??? Im sold! Sending love!
The skirt turned out so well!! Also killing it with the editing!
In love with the skirt!! I'm thinking of doing it, besides I don't know how to sew 🤔
You're pure inspiration!
Both of these came out so cute!!!!
wow the jeans transformed soo well 😍
The skirt is so adorable!! I wasn't sure how you would style it, but I love it so much. I hope I can recreate that look in the near future!!
the skirt looks amazing
Oh my gosh it looks SO GOOOD!!
Both of these slap!!!! Job well done!
Wow I'm amazed, these look so good and pretty identical!
please make more trift flips, i love your thrift flips!
the skirt came out amazing! My mind could not wrap my head around the inner facing though, so complex
I don’t understand how you got rid of the “crotch flap” of the jeans on the front and back of the skirt.
Same! Would really like to know 🤗
especially the back one.
if you look at 12:20 it looks like she just cut it off after sewing the front together
I trimmed and tucked the excess flap fabric and then held it down with two straight stitches in the contrasting thread. The fourth picture in this IG post gives you a bit more of a closeup! Just below where the zipper ends you can see that a little raw fabric couldn't get folded under so I just tried to trim as neatly as possible.
