    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 ❀

    I giggled to myself when you mentioned those people that watch your videos but don't really sew... I've been exposed. There's a therapeutic quality to watching your videos and you're also really nice so... Go figure?

  • @jessicahonea98
    @jessicahonea98 Pƙed 5 lety +466

    Love the tutorial, but for a solid minute, I forgot that Reformation was a brand. I thought we were talking about the Protestant Reformation lol.

      Snap, I’m British and just assumed it was related to the Reformation period of history......

  • @itsgiuliaaaa
    @itsgiuliaaaa Pƙed 4 lety +496

    This has nothing to do with the video itself but:
    Every time you DIY thrifted clothes and it turns out bad you should still post the video and call it _"THRIFT FLOP"_

  • @withwendy
    @withwendy  Pƙed 5 lety +451

    Today it snowed AGAIN. Please join me in praying for summer to come soon. Also regarding the bodysuit, I realized a decent hack to make a bottom closure is thrift a BRA and just steal that whole functionality. You can probably even skip the thrifting step if you wear bras yourself because those buggers are the wrong size all the time 👍👍👍 (but 😡towards how annoying bras can be lol)

    • @jlammetje
      @jlammetje Pƙed 5 lety +9

      withwendy there are actually pieces to lengthen your bra band, which are basically a piece of band with a closure. Maybe those can be used as well!

      I loved the blue top with shirring! The way you made space for the bust without cutting the buttons panel off was genius :)
      Would you mind posting a link to the shirring tutorial you mentioned?

    • @withwendy
      @withwendy  Pƙed 5 lety +3

      Yessss!! I want to try it again in a softer fabric, honestly it's such a winner for being so convertible!

    @Angela10226 Pƙed 5 lety +37

    It just amazes me to watch you do these transformations, I think "oh there is no way she's going to pull this off" and then surprise you accomplish it really even better than I imagine when it is getting toward the end. Great job Wendy!!

  • @lee-kx4mj
    @lee-kx4mj Pƙed 5 lety +1

    my favorite part of your videos (besides ur amazing talent and creativity) is that whenever you do the voiceover work you sometimes chuckle and giggle a little bit at the words you say. its like you realize how just...joyful it is to create. i love that you have so much joy in this and that youve given all of us the privilege to witness your joy as well.

    Wendy I've been watching your videos for aggeesss like since before you got married without knowing how to sew sewing. Over quarantine, my friend and I did a skills exchange and she's been teaching me how to sew! I am halfway done with a skirt (my first garment) to wear at a wedding this summer :-) You explain everything so well, now that I am really paying attention it's super super clear. Thank you!

  • @PhantomFan1a
    @PhantomFan1a Pƙed 5 lety +1

    Good tutorial and amazing transformations. However, I would recommend using a stretch stitch or a zig zag stitch when sewing with knits or stretchy fabrics so the stitches stretch with the fabric, otherwise the stitches over time could break as straight stitches have no stretch in them

    I loved these both! The second one was something I really needed to see, because i have some ideas to upcycle some of my husband's old dress shirts and I had no idea where to start for summer tops! Thank you so much for doing this because Reformation is one of my favorite brands that I look to for inspiration!

  • @thorlaug
    @thorlaug Pƙed 5 lety

    Well done! I love that you know your colors. So many people don't know the colors that suit their skin-tone. If the color is wrong there is nothing you can do to save the garment, it will always look "off" on that person (Zuckerberg's gray T-shirt is a good example of that).
