I came here for a different type of exposed seam, then suddenly realized that I'd watched your whole video even though it wasn't what I came for. That never happens. Nice work! I especially loved the sleeve cuff work around!
Wow! The sleeves just add a little something extra that brings the whole shirt over the top! Excellent job!
So cute! The bottom of the sleeves are my favorite part!!! 😍 💝💝❤❤❤💖💗💞
Thank you!! 😊💕
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeees🥰👏🏾🥰
The boots………😍
Had to add…….love that the stitch colour matches the bottoms🥰
Thank you!! 😊
I love it. I'm thinking about it on a sweet shirt. Combining two
Thank you, for showing us your mistakes! It's so important to see and to learn. Love your enthusiasm!
The cuffs are the Chef's kiss!!
Thank you 😊
Ooooooommmmg!!! Wendy and Orli as judges!!! Awesome!!!!
That is really cute. I love the extra ribbing on the sleeves. Great job
Thank you!! 😊
This was cool; could you please show us how to do it on a sewing machine instead of a serger? I learn most of my sewing stuff by watching first, trying it, watching again, and then fixing my mistakes. I feel like this technique could be really cool on a regular t-shirt or graphic t-shirt, maybe add in some tie-dye or ice-dying techniques.
Oh my my my! I need this, but don't have a serger. I would make it longer & bi colored...
Hi! I don't have a serger either, so what I do is I sew the seam and then cut the seam allowance leaving between 1/8 - 1/4 inch. Then set my sewing machine in zigzag stitch and carefully sew the seam allowance I left. You need to be aware of the width of your zigzag stitch so it reaches from your previous straight stitch to the end of the small seam allowance you left.
I hope this explanation helps, English is not my first language.
Love!
You can also use an overlock foot. Before I got my serger, that’s what I used as my sergered edge for pieces. Most machines should have the stitch (it’ll note you need foot G if you have a computerized machine)
I was thinking about graphic tees too! I have so many baggy shirts that would be cute.
You make it seem so easy 😩🙌🏾🙌🏾
I know but practice makes perfect.
Why I like your channel, is because you take and design your own clothing. And you tell others it doesn't have to be like your. You inspire people to be creative. And that's what's the world needs more people like you.
I hate channels that says what you should get rid of and stop wearing it.
I'm not a trend follower and I don't keep up with the Joneses.
I hate it when some people think they are better then others, and put them down. Me, myself and I hang around people I can talk to,and do things we all enjoy. For reading to cutting down a tree. There are so many endless things people could do. Thank you for sharing. You have a heart of gold. 👍🙂❤️
I also want to tell you, I take my old socks and cut the foot part off and I will add them to my hoodie if the sleeves are to short and the same with my winter pants. Maybe you could try and see what you come up with. 👍
Absolutely agree! Thank you!! 💕 I like the sock trick.
I love the sleeve addition. Happy accidents are the best!
Loving the new stylish look!!! 👍🏽💯
💛💛💛👑
The ruffle ribbing makes it a better fit to your body!!!
I absolutely love this turtleneck. When I seen the thumbnail, I liked it and the sleeves are so cute.
I literally loled at "I'm not doing it." XD Thanks for keeping in all the mess-ups. As a beginner I'm always wondering if it's normal to be making SO many mistakes but am now seeing it's just a part of the process!
Yup, no matter how long you've been sewing it still happens.
It's beautiful!
I would wear this daily. LoL.
Thank you!! 💕
I love it! The way you finished the sleeves was a good save! All those seams added texture and interest to the sleeves. I’ve done a few pieces of clothing like this over the years. Never gets old for me.
It is so cute. What a treat. I see a knitted dress as well. Never disappointed. You are a rockstar, or should I say a up cycling star 🌟 😂😂🤣🤣😂🤣.. You are always on fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
the sleeves ended up so awesome! i can't stop looking at them. so fun!!
Thank you 😊
Great job as usual.. I love exposed seams shirts they look so good with jeans and skirts..
I love it! The top was instantly elevated! A matching straight skirt would make a great workday look too😍
Yes, that would be perfect!
I love this and you gave me an idea to sew expose the seems and I love them damn boots! Wish I was about 20 years younger! I'd wear the heck out of them! Awesome!
Fricker fracker indeed lol. Loved the cuff solution, no one should feel gigantic 🤪 as always, Great restyle!
Thank you for sharing this beautiful upcycle for a sweater!!! I love it. Cannot wait to find a sweater and make it look so chic. You can do this technique with so many projects. Wow I'm so excited. Thank you again.
Glad you like it 💕
Sorry You don’t get to See 👀All the Mistakes, I’ve been making! Trust me Plenty on this side of CZcams! Thanks for another fun project, and showing us the pitfalls to watch for! I may try this with a old sweatshirt 🤔
Lol, we're all making mistakes together I guess. 😆
I heard Chicago all in that “y’all I’m always doing some stupid stuff” & when you want to cuss but you tryna live right, lol😂. Great video btw. I love exposed seams too.❤️
It’s given me an idea to try this on whatever I can find suitable.
Lol. You are so funny. I did the same thing when i make dredging errors. It's refreshing to know that I'm not the only one and that of a pro like you can do it And move on shoo can I. Lol. You are such an inspiration! Keep it up! You're great, funny and sweet!😊Thank you for all the lessons!
love love LOVE this! such a great idea, thank you for sharing.
You are SO funny!! Love this idea.. Thanks for the humor!! Love the yellow with the blue-- I wouldn't have thought of that combo.
Thank you!! 😁
I love what you done with this turtle neck so fabulous.
Thank you!! 😊
I just bought a sewing machine,I want to start altering our clothes. Thank you for your content. I'm new to your channel.
That's awesome! Welcome to the BlueprintDIY family! 🤗
@@BlueprintDIY Thank you 🙏
The sleeves are the best! I love watching you create!
Thank you!! 😊💕
One thing about you Angelina when you make your mind up you stick to it. Love the look. Going to the Thrift store.
Thanks so much!! 😁
This one is a hit, Angelina! Waayy too easy. I can see me now this winter...thank you!,,❣️
Yayyy! I'm so glad!! 😁
That intro is a vibe - YOU are a vibe! First time I am here, already in love! Thank you for this tutorial, just what I wanted to do.
Yay! Thank you!
This top is toooooo cute! One of these days, I need to break down & learn how to finally use a serger.😫 And I see that backpack... LOVE IT!🙌🏽💜
They're really easy to use. I think it just looks intimidating.
This is ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥!!! I love all of your upcycles but wow this was an amazing transformation! AMAZING!
Thank you!! 😊💕
I love it!!! I have 2 identical old sweaters in different shades, hot pink and lavender that are too short in the sleeves and length. I am going to try to piece them together to make one perfect sweater. Thank you so much for this tutorial!
Oooh, That’s going to be so pretty!
Good afternoon, everyone.
I have a question? What type of machine do you recommend for sewing. That has a reason price roughly under 150.00. Nicely made. I like it. I am going to make this next week. I have been working on my upcycling clothing.
Id say get a secondhand one that is higher quality. Sub150 ones often fall apart quick, unless ur really lucky. My sewing machine is 20years old (husqvarna from my mums wedding gift) and it's still going strong and better than a new plastic one I've tried (that was 350$). The new ones are often also really light which may be a benefit if you want to travel/move it but it makes it very unstable when you are sewing fast or w heavier fabrics. Angelina has also done series on comparing cheaper sewing machines
I think this may be one of my favourite upcycles. ❤
Thank you!! 😊
You are soo creative and a genius problem solver!!👏🏼👏🏼
I like how it turned out. I’m convinced I need a serger 😃
We don't have winter where I'm at but I do have a turtleneck jersey that I love and this upcycle just gave me a wonder idea. Thanks so much for sharing your ideas with us. Don't know if I'll have the time now to do it but I'm going too sooner or later.
I have perfect sweater for this. Can't wait to try.
the sleeve extensions you added tooooo!!!!
I absolutely lovvvvvve this channel! I’m learning from you, don’t even have a machine, but am filling my brain with these how to’s! Cannot wait to execute my ideas in 2022!
Yayyy! I'm so glad!! 😁
That looks way cool 👍🏾.
Love love love the sleeve extensions! So unique!
Thank you!! 😊
Niiceeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! I love that you never give up and always find a way around things.
The sleeves are lovely, lovely. I believe that if you would have had enough material for the sleeves, they would have been fine, but not as cool as they ended up.
Thank you!! 😊
Yes
Gonna have to give this a go on a whole dress 😍😍😍
Yes, that would be so nice!
Ms. Diva you have an amazing brain! You think of the most amazing up cycles! TFS
Thank you!! 😊💕
I love that !!! you are "Boss" 🎀💯💃😊💕.
Thank you!! 😊💕
❤ 😍 thank you so much for doing this. I've been wanting to try this exact process. And sharing your mistakes ahows me feel like I'm not the only one who goofs. Keep them coming.
Hey so a pro tip u have for back stiching on an overlock machine would be to thread a larger hand needle with the tail of the thread and loop it within the overlock stich. Hope that makes sense
I LOVE this shirt.
Nice shirt. 👍🏾I really like it. I’m gonna try it once I’m more comfortable with my serger. 😁
I actually looooove the sleeves! Lucky accident!
Loving your work, Angelina. The improvisation on the sleeves is inspired! I would wear that top myself! If I have time, I'll def do one of these upcycled tops! Thank you!
WOW!!!!!!!!! THIS IS GREAT! I LOVE IT!!!!!!
The sleeves are fantastic! So you 😍
Nice and I love the sleeve extension 🥰
Hi Angelina! Could you maybe do an episode about ideas on how to fix shirts and hoodies etc that fit well but that have an ugly print on them? I know I could just wear layers or slap on a patch but I would love some new ideas on that too :) Too often I just so happen to find the fit and material I want but have to make do with the less than desirable print. Thank you for your channel, you are always full of great ideas and positive spirit!
I have the same issue. I've been thinking about this problem for years. I'll work on it.
I love this upcycle!
Absolutely gorgeous. I am definitely trying this one. And those sleeves.. as you say, "YES!!"
This is BRILLIANT!
This is stylish! The lower sleeves are fabulous. Great job! Thank you!
The sleeves look pretty. Love it!
Thank you!! 😊
I love it! I love the length on the sleeves
This is a great idea and it looks fabulous on you! If you're looking for an alternative way to control those serger tails here's a method I use. Make sure you have some pretty long tails on all the seam ends (5 - 6 inches at least). Smooth out the chains a little bit and thread them through a blunt-tip darning needle. Then you can run the darning needle backwards under the serged/overlocked seam. I usually go back for several inches. If you want it super-secure you can use a seam sealant, tie a knot, or back-stitch a few times. Then cut off the threads. Voila!
Thanks so much!! 😁💕
Very cute remake.
Great idea. Love the sleeves.
Thank you!! 😊
I'm so glad those sleeves were too short for you because the extra cuff that you added turned out beautifully. It really added an extra touch to the top! Well done 👏
Thank you!! 😊 Me too!
Love this! And gonna try it
So talented and creative 😍
I love 💕 this, I definitely have a shirt I want to do this to!
That is sooo cute! The addition to the sleeves was spot on and they looked like they belonged. You lined up the outer seam and everything .👌🏾The styling was cute. I think with really any pair of your jeans the combo would be cute. Ooo the wide legged jeans you just did would be really cute with this sweater. So many options. You did great, even with the oops 😅 moments. 😀
Yayyy!!!!! Soooo happy to see you more often!!! ❤️ God bless!!
I'm so glad you're not tired of me yet. 😆
@@BlueprintDIY Never!!
I love the outcome, and the creative lengthening of the sleeves!
Thank you!! 😊
I also hate when tops fit too loose in the torso so this was a really unique way of altering it to fit better. I wasn’t sure about it at first but I really like how the top turned out. Truly impressive! 😍
Love this and I am gonna try this
Love it!
It is soo pretty.
this is awesome!
Great tutorial… the sleeves really stood out in a super way… ❤️❤️ them…
Thank you!! 😊
I’m here because I did perfect stitch work on one side of a shirt.
…. Only to find out I forgot to flip it inside out. But I didn’t want to rip the stitches, so i figured i’d see if I could make a style out of it
The first looks inside out
Hi Angelina! I did a similar Stitch design with two tank tops. It was by accident. Love your sweater!
So while watching another of your videos I saw you wearing this sweater and I wondered where you brought it 😊. Love it 🥰
Thanks so much! 🙏🏾
I’ve been wanting a top like this SO BAD but wasn’t sure if I could do it on my serger. Thanks so much for this tutorial!
Yes, you can do it. 🙌🏾
oh fun I want to show my sewing class!
Beautiful 😍
This is so cool!!! And doable! Thank so much for sharing with all of us even if you thought it was and already-done, easy project at the beginning
Yayyy, that's awesome!
