      I'm buying a sewing machine after watching all these. I just want to learn to sew even if it's not as good as these. Update: I bought the cheap little one but the stitching keeps coming out and other problems... Fabric scraps are so cheap though. I found a bundle for a dollar.

    @shaelynn5368 Před 8 lety +175

    You should do a giveaway of thrifted transformations! like the winner could send you waist/bust/etc measurements or just something like this (a wrap dress) that may not need exact measurements but something easily altered or tied to fit slightly bigger/smaller than the measurements sent in! just a cool idea to get a "one of a kind" piece of clothing from a favorite youtuber.
    Love your work, inspires me to venture into other career options that I haven't considered before!

    I've learned so much from just watching your videos. My parents got me a sewing machine last christmas and people have given me scrap fabric over the years but I've never had a clue how to use them but since I've started watching your videos I've started to understand what I need to do to make things the right way. Thanks for making these amazing videos. Keep doing what your doing. It's amazing.

    1. vision-you can see the end result before you start
    2. talent-you can put to paper and needle that vision
    3. technical know how-you can't just see the end result you have the ability to make it real.
    I'm in awe of you! Well done and keep planning and sewing! 💖💖💖

    Instantly subscribed at 5 seconds in, I'm not much of a seamstress (just a little bit better that 'two left hands') but I love seeing others create things. And the smart thinking of using the lining to create the back is genius.

  • @AliceWinter09
    @AliceWinter09 Před 8 lety +11

    It was a pleasure to watch this work :). My only critique is "it could be improved a little bit by implementation of more professional techniques (more exact measurements of fabric/design, curved ruler use etc). But love the design and look ^^.

    • @Rekeaki
      @Rekeaki Před 8 lety +50

      I think the idea is to keep these thrifted transformations cheap. You can't ignore the "cost" of time and effort that goes into making something like this. A dress that takes forever to make is not fun or "cheap" in the end when you add up all the work you had to put into it. Leaving out the exact measurements and precise techniques saves a lot of time and makes sewing a lot more fun, especially if someone enjoys the creative process more than the making. I am fairly sure she is in design school and so probably has plenty of exposure to more accurate techniques.....probably to the point of it being tedious. I would want to "freehand" things in my spare time too.

    • @AliceWinter09
      @AliceWinter09 Před 8 lety +7

      Fair enough, I didn't realise she was in design school. I know how it is to have to draft patterns all the time for the clothes we make at school. Drafting/pattern making becomes almost second nature/natural. Perfectly understandable that not everyone does everything the same way and to be honest I have my lazy sewing days too ^^. Thanks for the reply :).

    • @Rekeaki
      @Rekeaki Před 8 lety +5

      Alice Winter Cool :-) I could be wrong about the design school part but she does occasionally (in other videos) mention various bits of sewing equipment she bought (such as a relatively expensive manequin recently) because "they have a class set of these at school" and she makes many references to advanced pattern/sewing techniques she "learned in school" in other videos....I don't think she has graduated yet (but definitely out of highschool based on age).....She may have said "I am in design school" at some point but I can't remember or can't find the video.

    • @MissesMoonsValley

    I appreciate your boldness in cutting the fabrics and stitching things together, just would like to see straighter lines in your stitching and pressing after each seam. It gives a higher quality finish to your transformations.

    I love that the bobbin cover is clear so you can see when your running low on thread! nothing is more annoying then being almost finished and having to get another bobbin

      You don't need talent. You need a sewing machine and the motivation to learn. There's tons of tutorials out there to help you.

    I've been scrolling throughout the comments, and they mostly are positive, which is by good meaning. You are AMAZING at this, and I enjoy watching all of your videos, which give me ideas that I never would have thought up without the help of your channel!!

    I love your channel. I’ve always wanted to do this kind of works since I was in grade school, but I don’t know how to sew in a machine or how to start a project. You’ve inspired me to love my childhood dream again. You’re such a talented angel. God bless you and more power.

  • @justcuzyoutubesuspendedmya4604

    I’m extremely interested in thrift flips and sewing but I can’t use a sewing machine for life’s sake 😂😭

    So cute! I used to be thin! 😲 What about placing the top section on the fabric so as to create a floral grouping? Or even to connect with the print with print in the skirt/waist band. Love your sewing videos!

    • @AnnushkaNoorTheUnicorn
      @AnnushkaNoorTheUnicorn Před 8 lety +48

      She usually makes clothes for her self, so she probably won't because she is very thin

    • @GingerKat23
      @GingerKat23 Před 8 lety +14

      I'd really love to see that happen too, but I doubt it will. April makes these for herself, so it wouldn't really make any sense for her to make something for a curvier person.

    • @Gibongirl52
      @Gibongirl52 Před 8 lety +3

      I think she makes the clothes for herself or on the odd occasion family and things so I think that's why she doesn't, because it wouldn't fit her and we don't know if it would her family either. Just my assumption from her videos. But, by the way she describes things, there are a lot of her videos that can be adapted to fit all body types.

    • @tahirahcrawford7317
      @tahirahcrawford7317 Před 8 lety +12

      Follow the steps with a thrifted item that fits or is slightly too large for your body...same as April does.

    • @debbievidal9536
      @debbievidal9536 Před 8 lety +4

      +Annushka The Professional Fangirl and Unicorn exactly. she is so slim that although the clothes arw great they'd be no good on a fuller figure unfortunately

  • @tallangel9
    @tallangel9 Před 7 lety

    I've always want to do things like this. I love thrifting! I have a few skirts I want to hem and switch up and I have always wanted to take those oversized pinstriped 90s jackets and make them more fitted !! now I think I could thanks to your videos!!

  • @Hellnogizmo
    @Hellnogizmo Před 5 lety

    This is wonderful! I think this is one of my favorite transformations. I would adore doing this with a dress I recently bought that is much bigger than my size as well. It actually even has a full back. Skills I do not yet possess. So beautiful!

    But why would you buy something which is bigger and longer then your actual size??
    So that you can sew that at home??

      Stela Khati if you have more fabric then it gives you more room for alteration.

  • @robsadaisy7866
    @robsadaisy7866 Před 5 lety

    Hello, I really enjoy your videos. Just a little tip for pinning, if you pin perpendicular to your sewing line, the needle on the sewing machine sews straight over the pins. So you do not have to remove the needles as you go. You can just take them out when you're done.

    • @druidriley3163
      @druidriley3163 Před 4 lety

      Someone else warned that the needles can also be broken in the sewing and one person had a piece of needle go into their eye doing that.
