    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 ❤️

    Update: after months of stray fuzzy green lints in my hair, I finally gave the bucket hat a lining! czcams.com/video/fIZpdlRsYM8/video.html

    I loved how creative this episode was! The phone was adorable and it reminded me that I could use simple stitches for fixes rather than buying or making new clothes!

      Woven Coven I’d like to add washable somehow. Maybe with a duvet cover that keeps the blanket clean

    @HimeGabi Před 4 lety +82

    Guilty! I once took 3 years to mend an item in my pile. It would have taken like 10 minutes. But nope I left it there. After I finally fixed it I was like what the heck me?

    My GOD i absolutely LOVE that bebop ish jazz you've got playing on the background there, it just mekes me feel so upbeat and like YES lets repair our freaking clothes, YES! You should considder using more of thar kind of music, it just gives the video such a good overall mood

  • @barbhayes5613
    @barbhayes5613 Před 4 lety

    So happy your generation is embracing thrifting. We children of the 1960's did a lot of it (we were especially good at making thrifted bell bottom jeans even wider with more thrifted fabric), but the practice seems to have skipped a generation. So, good on you! You are an inspiration and just so much fun! Cheers!

  • @queennefertitties8302

    I'm so going to use the "ripped jeans stitch". I've been throwing out pants because they rip at my inner thigh. Now I can save them!!

  • @Blue-me8vm
    @Blue-me8vm Před 4 lety

    this felt like a wes anderson movie, wendy girl you are amazingly capable, creative, delightful, watching you succeed at every task you set out for yourself is sososo satisfying, makes up for all the 5 minute crafts clips i've regrettably watched while scrolling facebook

  • @SuperPashaKitty
    @SuperPashaKitty Před 4 lety +1

    I also procrastinate mending, too 😅I think a large part of it is that I’m an amateur sewist, so knowing where to start can be intimidating. That makes these mending videos as inspirational as they are helpful!!
    Also, I have a suggestion: I think it would be cool if you did a mending series called “Get Mendy withWendy”😮

  • @HeleenvdD
    @HeleenvdD Před 4 lety +2

    Clicked on your video and immediately went to grab two coats that both needed some mending. Managed to fix one pocket during the video and the other within five minutes. Turns out I just needed your video and 5 more minutes to get months of irritation fixed ;)

  • @hannahstewart5337
    @hannahstewart5337 Před 3 lety +1

    Thanks for making this video! It helped me fix up a jacket I thrifted awhile ago that had shoulder pads in it that had gone all wonky. I undid some of the lining and took out the shoulder pads and thanks to your demo of the ladder stitch I was able to stitch up the lining no problemo!

    Yes! Thrifting is where it's at.
    I'm terrible at mending my own clothes, though. Not because I don't know how - I do alterations for a living. I just get absorbed in other projects and never tend to my own clothes!

    This year I am working on mending my clothes! So far I have shortened the straps of a tank top that didn't fit quite right and sewed patches onto the inner thighs of a pair of jeans that had gotten super worn out.
    I've always been an avid thrifter but this year I'm also working on bringing really nice thrifted finds into my wardrobe and not buying anything new.

    Omg I never thought about making hats out of anything other than jersey fabrics (usually leftovers from other projects)! I often see small blankets that have at least one corner that was _really_ loved by a teething baby, or a toddler who like to chew on stuff, so they're heavily discounted at the store. Will pick one up the next time I'm there!
