    Wow!!! What a great project. Since you posted the picture of the tiered men’s dress shirt skirt this summer I have been looking for plaid and flannel shirts to make a fall version. This fits the bill so will. I appreciate when you throw in other styles that aren’t your vibe. It shows the depth of your skill as an up-cycler.

    I too liked it better with the sleeves tied in the front. Exciting news. So glad you're going so strong.

    Angelina, I must have watched this video ten times since you posted. I’m finally starting on mine today. I had a different vision for mine & couldn’t figure out how to get there, but I am ready now. Thank you for the never-ending inspiration. You are a treasure ❤❤❤

  • @cheshkat6321

    When my husband was alive, he wore red flannel shirts almost every day. Gifted to him from his mom every Christmas and birthday. Even before we dated. Color I dislike the most is red. Orange is in same level of dislike. Fortunately, someone gave my husband a hint about not wearing plaid so much around the woman you want to date.
    Seeing the thumbnail images of your videos, I keep in mind that everything is according to taste - the upcycle process is the inspiration.
    I would probably make this skirt for winter wear with blues and grays. And make the front hem higher to show my boots and easier walking. I am the one long skirts don't work well because I automatically step on the skirt in the front over and over. Learned that simply making a front hem adjustment decades ago because I love full skirts with boots. With boots and different colors, this would be something I would wear all winter. No doubt.

    The tie in the front makes all the difference. Very creative. Xoxo

  • @evrydayppl2
    @evrydayppl2 Před 3 lety +34

    You really had to use a lot of brain power (and girl power) to put this project together. I think you made a great decision leaving those sleeves on to tie at the waist! That made a really big difference!

  • @monachinn1576
    @monachinn1576 Před 3 lety +2

    I love that. Never thought to put shirts together to make a skirt

  • @dianeevans-blake8027
    @dianeevans-blake8027 Před 3 lety +7

    Wow! That took a lot of creativity and genius. That could be high fashion for a tall person on a runway or at a nice evening party, or in a designer’s office. Difficult to duplicate; super unique. I would add some silk or a shiny texture. I really loved it!

    I'm not attracted to flannel, but this upcycle shows that it pays to be open-minded. I don't know if I'll get a chance to try it, but I can definitely imagine a version of this that would be cosy and fun for work this winter. Thank you!!!

    You are so inspiring. I took a shirt that couldn't fit across my hips, a skirt that was too large and long and a dress that was the least flattering asymmetric hemline ever, turning them into a boho dress. So fun!

  • @spiritualinfluencer3747

    I would love to see it done with a variety of black and white and plaids maybe in a pencil skirt. Yes! i agree the monochromatic it still was a great up cycle.

  • @princesslehaha

    Fellow box shape here :D I always look to try and dress like an X shape. My friends would swear on a stack of bibles that I have a waist lol (except the ones who have seen me nekkid lol). I'm totally a flannel plaid old hippie freak so I loved this video!!! I love that you show your mistakes; I didn't sew for 45 years so LOOOOOTS of mistakes haha. I joined the group and everyone there is so inspiring! I have a ton of clothes that I simply can't wear, and most of them are from second hand stores in the first place and worn to death so I can't donate, but I also won't throw out. This video got me so happyyyyy1

The styles, the colors and prints, the textures, the simple instructions you give, being able to use what we have or thrifted, and the excitement you put into each piece was the reason I signed up. I look forward to your next “renegade” creation! Now I’m off to watch more of your videos while I’m not feeling well in bed. Peace ✌🏽
