I love that she's doing clothes from Wal-Mart, it's something a lot of people can afford & find exactly similar to what she has. It's good for learning & going along with her. She made them so cute! I hope we see some more walmart or similar stores.
And her alterations did not cost much either. The first top, the only supply she had to buy was the thin elastic. (and many home sewists would already have it).
I love that this one we can follow along with. I'd certainly love to see a few more of these sprinkled in throughout her normal videos!
It's still much cheaper to buy from a thrift store. Who wants to pay the regular price for an item they have to alter?
Out of all the clothes flips I watch on CZcams I find April's work to be the cleanest and most creative.
Her instructions are also very clear
I'm curious if April will try the bag flip? 😉 Nava Rose posted a video in Sept, and I thought it came out really well; flipping a mock Louis Vuitton bag into a skirt and bralette set.
Ever seen Evelyn Wood’s work?
Preach
I love the peasant blouse transformation
Thank you
That was gorgeous.
Yes! It looks sooo much prettier!
So clever! Love your eye for fashion . . . and I'm probably older than your grandmother! Huge fan!
I’m glad I’m not the only Gramma who likes her videos! Hehehe. She’s very clever. 👍
I'm older too and follow her. She is so creative and inspires me. I am 56 lol. I joined her patreon site to support her. I have learned so much from her videos.
@@jsorensens2 OMG! I personally use "Gramma" and not Grandma. So nice to meet another like me. She IS so clever. Love her.
@@yolandadicostanzo1347 I'll be 70 in September!
Stephanie Jo Rountree Yay another Gramma! 😁
I swear, April is a magician 😱
I am sure on it too 😊
She has proven time after time that it absolutely IS possible to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear!
The great secret of this video is that everything seems more expensive when it's tailored for the body it's on. What's awesome is that, as a person who feels more self conscious about weight, nearly every "but-make-it-sexier" look here works for me. The absent panel in the seafoam top wouldn't feel too exposing since the top could be tailored right up to smallest point on my upper body, then left to hang loose and taper my body perfectly, rather than being cropped -- less work than what April does. The same trick works even more obviously in her alteration of the peasant top, where one only needs to put the bottom elastic line in the smallest place on the body to make a genius false waist. I particularly like it with that top, since this kind of shapeless top tends to be hefted toward people worried about weight and everybody can gather it like this and be like-- "Look! trendy and sexy! Body under there!" without sacrificing joy to something that holds the body in in hot weather.
The tan dress is so cute after! Random but here’s an idea I would be interested in: a video on sewing foots. Maybe your faves/most useful and how to use them?
Check out Evelyn wood
You can check out my new vlog ‘Istanbul’ part and support my channel guys 🎞 Love you all 🧡🧚🏼♀️
Yeollbae I have many foots but mostly only use the regular one :) except for zippers that’s one foot you should have!
The original peasant blouse kinda looks like a baptism robe.
I was thinking that, too!
You made walmart clothes look 2x more expensive! I'm blown away like a leaf in the wind
I love, love, love the pirate shirt and paper bag shorts transformation. Well done. The sad truth is it’s much cheaper to alter store bought clothes than to sew from scratch.
A lot of the time this is true. There are ways to save money, though.
Whenever I wear something out, I strip it down. I have a box with a bunch of bag hardware, zippers, buttons, etc that I've rescued from clothes that are beyond repair. I also save any fabric that can be rescued (like pants legs, for example).
You can sometimes find fabric and/or items to make or remake while you're thrifting. Also, look for sales- I found an adorable striped jersey fabric that was on clearance for 50 cents a yard!
And don't forget the stores like Joann's that have great coupons! Those can really save you some money, which is always welcome!
That's why places like goodwill are so useful! You are reusing other people's clothes to make your own design. I think making from scratch can also be good, though. I think it helps you understand how the garments come together, and how sewing in general works.
@@LaynieFingers We all need to buy less fast fashion. Great job at that!
@@annieharover6617 And another plus to thrifting is the clothes have been washed so many times there is no chance of shrinkage, like April experienced
While April is undeniably talented, part of the reason these turn out so good is because April is just so darn gorgeous! I feel like I’d look like a potato in that dress and a pirate in the top. 😋 On her though, it’s perfection! That’s the magic of making your own clothing to fit, and being so pretty.
Hi April! You truly are a gem! Because of you, I purchased my very first sewing machine.
I have a lot of clothes that I no longer wear but because of your videos, I can finally turn them into something better! Thank you!!
I loved the peasant blouse adjustment
The princess seams on the shorts were a brilliant addition ! I've been trying to decide how to alter several pairs of thrifted trousers and never even thought of princess seams.
And wow, that dress transformation was incredible!
OMG. On the last dress, when you said "I'm sewing down the seams BEFORE opening up the slit" 🤯😮 I'm so grateful for this tip. Like, of course, great move. I'll be doing it this way in the future. Thank you!
That was my number one take-away from this video! So simple, I can't believe I over-looked this all these years!
The white shirt looked like a completely different piece of clothing! Insane what a few changes can do. Very talented! 💜
The white top transformation was absolute genius. Very cute!
I am gobsmacked by just how much of a change you made on these pieces! You really inspire me to get more hands-on with my clothes!
I love this concept. Perfect for people whose only local store is Walmart and whose Walmart is out of fabric due to mask demand.
The dress transformation was simple yet intricate and quite magical to be honest lol
I’ve had the same problems with clothes from good stores being off grain, but not noticeable until after washing. So annoying. Love your transformations.
I absolutely loved this Walmart transformation. Every piece was not too difficult but creative and completely transformed the garment 😍😍
April, you definitely have an eye for fashioning these clothes to your taste, very talented! So enjoyable to watch your videos. Thank you for sharing.
Yes! I’ve been wanting you to transform something from a store for a while. I feel like it’s easier to do the same transformation and cheaper in the long run.
I would legit die for the white top 😭
I love how simple the transformation was for the peasant blouse - Feel like it’s something even I could do
Wow! Great transformations! More of these videos please! Clearance racks at Walmart have $1 items!..with your magical hands anything is possible!!
All so cute! My favorite was the dress. The peasant blouse would alsi look cute with keyhole cut-outs where the shoulder meets the arms. Great job!
This was an amazing idea and all the transformations were beautiful. Please do more!!!
I am in love with that last dress! Pair that with some boots and babam, super cute!
A freaking badass!! Every single transformation blowed me away. I love what you did with the white blouse😍😍Always look forward to your videos
I love videos like these which show how a few changes can transform an item of clothing. I also liked how this showed clothes from Wal-Mart because I've often wondered if clothes bought from there or similar places could stand up to these kinds of adjustments. It's good to know we don't have to be scared to try!
The fact that the fabric went uneven after you washed it points to the (dubious) quality of cheap clothing... You brought these items up a notch for sure!
You did a fantastic job 👍
This is brilliant ! I am pretty tall and even though I am on the slim slide, clothes usually fit me if they are long enough but I really admire your creative mind and skill. You are inspiring !
It amazes me how you can transform some of these pieces. They always look so beautiful when you're finished!
I’ve been eying that body con dress forever trying to figure out what I would do to change it. This is perfect 👌
What a transformation! using ones imagination is awesome.
Yolanda Cartomancy Happy September Birthday 🎂. I’m just viewing this video and I’m 65. So great to see Seniors still sewing, quilting & crocheting, me for grandchildren’s Christmas gifts.
So awesome that you have all of these one of a kind pieces that you've transformed in your closet!
The trick with the slit was magic!
You just increased the value of every piece you transformed! Amazing style. Love them all. My fav would be the lace top and dress.
I have that same last dress but their “winter” version with sleeves 😂 definitely going to change it up like yours!
LOVE how that white blouse turned out!!!
Love that you keep it simple but still want to outcome to look nice. Yes, a seam ripper is often necessary in order to keep the guidelines. Good instructions while keeping the video short and to the point.
That after transformation white blouse is everything. I need to buy sth like this RIGHT NOW.
I really like the calm, smooth jazz music!!!
The first redo It looks way better after you redo it the first shirt looks amazing... way better than before...I love them all especially the second one looks phenomenal all so amazing one after another you rocked it all ..
You are so amazing! Every time I watch one of your videos I feel so inspired. You make high fashion seem attainable even on a budget. Thank you for posting your videos!!
That peasant blouse was my favorite transformation!!
The peasant top transformation was my fav from here ❤️ Looks perfect for the summer.
All 3 are now PERFECT!
Great job! This honestly just shows you that Walmart needs some fresh eyes in their fashion department.
I love all your videos, and your patience to transform all these pieces!
I enjoy sewing! Thanks for your ideas!
Wow you did an incredible job! It's so wild how different the white top and tan dress look after your adjustments.
April, your transformations are beautiful. Thank you for these voiceovers. Even though I love watching the actual transformations, these videos are very educational for me. I am learning a lot of terminology. "Speaking" sewing is a whole new world for me but I guess we all had to learn it from the beginning.
Love love the white blouse transformation
I watched this video like 10 times and everytime i am amazed how she gives a chic personality to the clothes❤❤❤❤
You make Walmart clothing look more stylish and expensive.
Love the peasant blouse transformation.👍
That dress is a clear winner!👏🏼
Well done April. Sometimes I like the fabric of a dress and, not the dress etc. If I'm in the mood to sew I'll try what you did. I would quicker buy a bigger size if my size is sold out and alter it.. Good going.
I absolutely ADORE what you did to the peasant blouse!
*takes notes*
I'm in love with the white peasant blouse!
The dress transformation was my favorite! It really came much better than the original design. I love your videos, April
Kisses from Brazil
I really love this video concept. You made dramatic improvements in all the clothes but with minimal cost and effort. You didn't have to cut them up and totally remake them- they just needed tweaks.
The moons and stars fabric clips she uses are so cute 🥰
Hi April!! Wonderful vlog.. Glad to see someone else who has to alter clothes from Wal-Mart.. I’m plus size & once in a blue moon will purchase something & no matter what have to alter it somehow.... 💜💜💜🧵🧵🧵
You have a great eye! The transformations made the pieces look way more stylish. And they all look totally adorable on you. Great job 👍
That white blouse turned out so good!!
Especially love the peasant blouse💕
The white shirt turned out SO CUTE
That white top turned out so adorable!
I love how the peasant blouse turned out!
You turned that dress from Walmart to Fashion Nova effortlessly! Its to pretty now and wearable
Girl...you got some talent!!!!
Beautiful white blouse, love the sleeves.
I'm calling it, Walmart will start selling super plain clothes for people to diy and call them "upcycleables" or something
Hahaa I can toootally see this, it's low-key a genius business idea, selling that blouse in an 'upcycle kit' with some elastic and thread and a card with instructions for like 3 different style options, selling it for more money while saving on actual manufacturing costs.. Obviously I hate this idea because you're not actually saving and upcycling trash, but yeah it could make money.
Walmart, no. I could see them selling this at An art store like Michaels or something
That's all of their clothes really lol I see a lot of videos upcycling Walmart jeans, hoodies, and jackets
oh no please don't give them ideas 💀
April i really love you, because you have taught me how to sew with your videos. I now know how to sew a short
Wow! All the transformations looks amazing!
All of the items looked fantastic!
Loved the shorts and dress transformation!!!! Could you possibly do a tutorial on what a princess seam is and how to do it? I loved the look it gave to the clothes!!
my fav was the white blouse and the last dress! beautiful
I actually really love these transformations
Love your videos!! You are so clear and show your work really well. I did the wedding dress alteration for myself as I am pregnant. Your tips come in handy.
It's amazing how the clothes looked fine before and I didn't see how it could get better and you made each outfit way better.
Wow.. It's amazing... You are so creative... Love your work 😍😍😍😍
April, everything turned out just great ❤
These transformations are amazing!
Ive been watching you for years. I really hope you don't transition to buying new things to alter. I love your thrifted things.
Wow! What a difference awesome job
Wow! I am impressed. I actually bought that first top a month ago and already gave it away bc it wasn't quite right on me. You really made it work!
Seriously such amazing creativity and results!
Love the dress and how cute it looks now
Wow, April you are a genius 🤩
Good job. So many good ideas here. Thanks for showing us how you do these changes.
I am mind blown about that white peasant blouse. It went from meh to elegant and unique. :o
They're looks sooooo much better now 😍😍😍
So cute! You're so creative & talented.
Thank you! Love this transformation. I just looked at that same dress and walked past it, maybe now I will go back and buy it to remake it for me.
