You should try out for project runway!😊
Skye True-Hagenstein Ikr! She's so talented and creative!
Skye True-Hagenstein I thought that show was over! 😱
Nope. We're on season 15 now.
Someone from one of her other videos said she was invited but declined because she didn't feel like she was ready :) don't know if it's true tho
Skye True-Hagenstein she's not ready
I honestly wish your designs were sold in stores. I'd love to have a prom dress designed by you.
Same!!
Rachel Gonzalez , Omg!!! YYYYEEEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!!!
YES
True
It is beautiful and u look great!
I love that not only does she make gorgeous pieces, but she never seems to say anything bad about the original clothing.
That's cuz she makes bad so good 😀
I like how she explanes this as if someone would be able to create it
Tammy Chen someone who knows stitching will 🤨
@@gunjanvyas9065 she is saying that no one can do the same thing because the clothes are thrifted
But she gives a person wonderful ideas on what you could do with similar items. She makes her own patterns, but you can buy patterns and do the same thing with the clothing.
I sure feel inspired.
She's making a joke.. like saying nobody is talented enough to recreate this.
I would love to see a bridesmaid gown or wedding gown turn into a high end jumper.
Tien Le That is a really good idea!
Tien Le yes!!! things like bridesmaid dresses etc only get worn once, but they're often made of such nice fabric, it would be really cool so see April transform one into a jumper!
Natasha Rose I think she should do a series on bridesmaids dress transformation.
Tien Le Amazing idea!!!
Bridesmaid Dresses are very expensive, maybe someone who wants theirs transformed could send it to her, along with their body measurements. That way April doesn't have to buy a wedding dress
i would buy your thrifted transformations.
and yayyy!! 1 million!!!!
I would buy the dress too !! it's so pretty!! but I think it would have been prettier if she didn't cut the front. a long skirt would have been better more classy imo
Bianca B ikr! I am making this rn!!
old country
She did not cut the front, she explained how she was making it in the beginning as the dress already had that design out for her.
Tip: Sand the sharps ends of boning so it doesn't wear the fabric down and rip through it
Who isn't actually gonna make anything, and is just here because this looked cool?
I really wish I was patient enough to make my own clothes but I get frustrated easily and id probably end up launching the sewing machine through a window.
honestly me
Sarah Green That's totally me, no patience 😑
Sarah Green 😂😂
Sarah Green Try making pillows first. Its super easy to sew a square and stuff it. Thats how I started sewing; it built up my tolerance and now I sew whole garments and costumes!
Sarah Green Right 😂😂
This is ridiculously gorgeous. I'd wear it to prom.
Holy crap, it's not only gorgeous but the finishes, especially on the inside, are incredible! It's better finished than most clothes sold in stores O.ô
They need to give you a tv show already
wtf she turned an old lady sleepwear to a date night dress
Not even a date night dress... a prom dress!
Exacly that what i thought
It was literally a moo moo
She turned into this gorgeous gown
What is life!
nooooo! it's the dress of every girls dreams!
sugarcoatedlovee cause she can
Burn the witch because that is literally wizardry.
Josh Thomas lol. I didn't see your comment before I posted nearly the same thing.
Josh Thomas Too late, she's already on FIRE!!! Lol!
I'm a guy with no interest in fashion, but her pure talent keeps me watching her videos. Good job
I have been sewing for fortyfive years. Started when i was about fifteen. You remind me of me!
oh my god, it's like give this girl a garbage bag and she'll turn it into the most beautiful silk dress... how. dem skillz.
amber scholl made a video on that!
she used a trash bag in her BB-8 costume
Check out Amber Scholl
How great that you go out and buy super inexpensive clothing and transform them into pieces people would pay 100s for. Just one suggestion, could you please put how much you purchased the original item for in your future videos? I think it would add to the wow factor.
Imma need about 10 years of sewing experience to be half as good as you oml youre like a sewing fairy
Wow. Even if I never pick up sewing, your videos make me appreciate what goes into fashion and clothing so much more. So impressed.
I don't usually leave comments but I just gotta say this, you should DEFINITELY design a collection of your own! Seriously, your thrifted designs are so much better than what is sold out there
i got completely lost during the top half, watching you for me is like watching a conjuring trick, but i still enjoy it immensely!
Josephine Winter samee
I understood but it may be because I always sew.
I don't know how to sew and I want to learn so it's a learning process for me
Love that you are turning out of fashion clothes into stylish new fashion. Now that what I call saving the environment. By making sure that one less piece of synthetic fabric goes into a landfill.
just saw 2 minutes of one of your transformations. Thanks for showing us your beautiful creations. You are one extremely talented lady !!
I liked how much more you talked about your thought process in this video!
Hannah E thanks! I had to share it cus I was so amazed when it turned into a skirt lol
Hannah E Glad you mentioned this. I agree.
Dint understand shit but still watched it with full concentration.
hahaha same!!!
Same ha ha
i watch before i sleep, its so relaxing
Same! 😂😂
Dang, I didn't even realize how fast this channel grew. I've been here since about 1k and now you're over here with 1million plus, congrats April 💖💖💖
Have you ever considered auditioning for Project Runway? You so should!
I want to stick you in my pocket when I go thrift shopping now.
SLOOOOOPY Follow her in snapchat :)
You must have the best wardrobe ever 😩😩
You could wear this on the red carpet. It's amazing😍😍
WOW! you go girl with ur bad self! Amazing!
How much did you spend on this transformation? It is lovely, You look great in it.
mspatti it took me 2-3 days
coolirpa I think she meant in terms of cost :) (I actually want to know too)
hugh mungous In her description it says she spent around an extra $25 for the lining and horse hair and stuff :)
in descrpition
taehyung
you look like a celebrity/artist walking down the red carpet!!
I love how you’re very fashionable but you’re still comfortable in some sweatpants!🙌🏼❤️
from old lady to Hawaiian Miss Universe gown HOW
oh my goodness this turned out even better than i thought it would by looking at the thumbnail. probably one of my favourites now. i hope there are prom dresses similar to this, i would love to wear it.
the video hasn't even started and i love it.
This finally looks like a red carpet stile dress . So beautiful ❤
You killed it. The print. the cut. the flow of the dress. Amazing.
even though I'm a guy I just wanted to say all your tips and tricks for sewing have helped me in my journey, now I can tailor all my own clothing and started to pick up thrift items to make them nicer :)
went from hideous to super classy love it
You are incredibly talented. My mother is a couturier and I grew up to be a very finicking girl especially when it comes to dressmaking. And I can say, you're killing it both aestheticly and technically. Love from Istanbul.
You make it look soooo easy!!! You're gifted! God bless you Girl!
OMG!!! that top with a burgundy skiiiiirt YAAAASSSS!!!!!Great job once again April!
Andrins N thanks! I'm excited to pair the top with other bottoms! 😁😁
Andrins N Oh! Burgundy palazzo pants with the sailor button front! Or, am I just being extra? Love her work!
Who else doesn't even sew... You're just here to see the amazing transformations
This video just made me subscribe for the atitude. I love how she admitted that she had to use double sided tape to keep the top up, not making unrealistic expectations if you do something like that and it doesn't stay up. That's the kind of realistic atitude I love
You are so very talented and have an amazing eye for fashion!!! I'm blown away by your ability to visualize something completely different from the pieces you start with!!! 😍
oh my god, April. this top is so professional
it's so cool to see your skill improve so much! i'm so impressed and inspired by you!
I don't know what any of these fancy sewing words are, I just like clothes 😭😭
You're beyond talented !! Thank you for recycling thrift garments... much appreciated 💕☺️
You are gifted! Beautiful work
She needs to apply for project runway
The Random Sheikha She's too good to be in project runway..
The Random Sheikha agreed ! I love that show. she could win those challenges so easily with her talent
Why are people still writing first instead of writing their own original comment. It's annoying. why dont you "first" commentors comment about how she did a wonderful job instead of leaving a stupid comment
kibaAndrenjiluver16 haha exactly !! Generally the people who comment first do it even before they had the chance to watch the video
why are people still complaining about others that leave first comments instead of writing their own original comment. It's annoying. why don't you 'complaining' commentors comment about how she did a wonderful job instead of leaving such a negative comment.
kibaAndrenjiluver16... thous people who do that are called kids... so don't get worked up about it... 😆
kibaAndrenjiluver16 here, here! Kiba! Kiba! Kiba!
kibaAndrenjiluver16 dude, people get excited about being early. people will usually comment something else after anyway so just mind your own business because it's not harming you nor anyone else.
who else just watches the video but doesn't know how to sew at all😂
It would be me. I love watching it but don't know how to sew.
Girl I don't even own a sewing machine. This girl made me look at my needle and thread like, maybe I could do this?
Meee 🙋♀️😂😭
I know how to sew by hand... Does it count?
This is one of my favorites yet. April, I love threadbangers too. I made a quilted bag from that umbrella bag video. I used a whole bunch of 3 inch squares instead. I use it for the beach. So easy to wash.
Killed it as per usual!! This might be one of my favourites you've ever done :)
itsEmiley I really liked the peachy summer one she did. But this is so awesome that she designed a more formal look. Honestly I would've worn it to my Homecoming maybe even prom with some nice jewelry and a half up-half down hair-do
itsEmiley I agree!!! I love how it flows and the bodice is just perfect!
I probably would add some quarter inch to an inch thick straps that I could tie into a bow around my neck and that's all. I did wear a strapless dress for prom and dancing and even sitting became difficult (it was a ball gown so yeah...)
Silk like straps would be nice
Ariana Espinosa Great idea about the straps-I love the halter style!
I love how the hem of the skirt flows with the horsehair in it! beautiful!!
I’m so happy to have found your channel! This is SO right up my alley!! I do this stuff all the time! Usually to make stuff for my daughter, not to sell... But how awesome that you have created a lucrative business for yourself!!
This is the first time in my 25 years that I have EVER hit the SUBSCRIBE button. Good luck, girl!
I can see you being a winner on project runway. love your work
Your house interior has such a nice color palette
BEAUTIFUL, creative, & inspiring!THANK YOU for sharing your precious time, talent, knowledge, & skills with us all! You're SO TALENTED! Hugs & Blessings 2U!
I have been enjoying her videos! I do sew and don't have a mannequin. I do things the old fashioned way but get great results. I was altering a dress shirt and its way easier then I thought it would be. Getting a sewing machine at a thrift store would be a great idea for anyone looking to save a lot of money on clothes! You can create so much using your own old clothes and cheap clothes you can buy at discount racks. I always look for damaged items I can fix and buy cheap. Also altering those to fit. Watching these videos helps you see what you can do with the really big items that have beautiful fabrics! I will be doing this kind of work now. Thank you for these videos!
Gosh darn it April you've done it again! 👏🏼
she should be a designer tho i think she already is oh whale
Celine Mark did you mean oh well or did you purposely put oh whale? Lol😂😃
All I can say is WOW! These videos and transformations are wonderful! Thanks for doing them!
Holy cow! This is amazing! You are so talented at sewing, but also the way you could look at that piece and envision transforming it like that is beyond impressive!!
So much gorgeous fabric. I'm glad you used as much as possible.
Who taught you how to draft patterns?
PLEASE DO SOME SORT OF DIY DRAFTING CLOTHES THING!
Incredible!! Fashion plait you make me so happy watching these!!! Such lovely whimsical imagination I bet all your Gfs must love all your clothes!! I’m binging your videos. Thank you for making my day.
Yeessssssssss. That final 2 piece is everything 🙌🙌
I love it. I can't believe how simple it looks comparatively, now I just need the same kind of dress
Wow this one was as elegant as it was incredibly difficult looking! Props to you for being born with such style and working toward your goals!
I loved the kaftan, and liked what you did with it. SUPER flowy skirt looks really pretty .
I am so into the way this flows from the back. It’s mesmerizing.
The end result looks epic. I really wanna have that but I'm lazy
your transformations are always so much better than the originals, but i would be way too nervous to actually do it
Okay, so this is the first video I've seen of you, so I wanted you to know that my jaw FREAKING dropped when I saw the transformation! That was incredible!
You are amazing. I would have looked at that dress and thought, "love the fabric, what a pity", and tossed it into a goodwill bin. It's shocking what you looked at it as saw, then transformed it into. LOVE IT!
Looked at the thumb nail and was literally like "ooohhh I have to watch this right now" 😍
One of my favorites from you April
This is so far my favorite thrifted transformation. Will be recreating this in the future for sure! 😍
You do this so damn easy, I get overwhelmed just by looking at you do all of this in your videos! You're so talented it's unbelievable the transformations you make!
probably my favorite transformation you've ever done! the end result is so gorgeous!
cant wait to see you on proyect runway
Meche Landeira when is she going? ?
oh sorry i didnt mean she was going now, i mean i hope she goes one day
Meche Landeira they actually contacted her months ago or a year ago i think and she told them she wasnt quite ready for the challenge yet, but i cant wait either!
really???? thats awesomeeeeeee
This has got to be one the best transformations you've ever done! Bravo!!
Just found your channel and im obsessed.. these are so satisfying 😍
You need a clothing brand, your clothing are amazing
🦋
what does the horse hair braid do?
MuruMuri make the hem stiff so it doesn't just hang limp, gives it a more A line look. very useful stuff!
I just found this channel and now I'm going to be watching these all night. So amazing!
Oh my goodness, girl ! You did the train exactly as I envisioned it. What a stylish femme fetal . You are simply the Queen of the Machine! 🤗🤗🤗
She is so talented. My head hurts watching this!!! How does one do this is effortlessly?
Stunning! You and the dress!
The most beautiful and extraordinary 2 pieced dress I've ever seen! 😍 I want to buy it! I LOVE IT
This is my most favorite transformation yet, it's so beautiful. I wish I had your skills and creativity.
I love the floral print so pretty!
HER BACK IS BEAUTIFUL OMG
She must have an amazing closet! Love it!!😍
You are so talented and gifted! Great eye for fashion, seeing beyond what the normal eye comprehends. God bless you~
