    Just incase you're wondering, the blue top was originally an Indian, Pakistani men's kameez! I would've never imagined them as such a pretty diy!

    Ok using elastic to take in something that’s too big is honestly smart and looks doable. Especially that first one with the back detail. Might have to try.

    • @morgiana111
      @morgiana111 Před 5 lety +4

      thequeenn00b yes! My favorite is a couple inches of elastic in the back of jeans to cinch in the waist. So simple and looks great 🙏🏻

    Been seeing a lot of these big fluffy shoulders/sleeves at my favourite stores to window shop, so here's how you can do it yourself on a budget :) and reuse clothes!

      Hi Wendy,
      I have a question, after you sew two parallel stitches to gather the fabric, want did you do with the ends of the thread? Did you Just cut them off? Or did you tie them?

      My ex asked me why I was constantly putting my hands in the pockets of my new dress and I replied; 'Well I can never do that, It feels nice.'
      Just never put your hands in your pockets when walking down the stairs, that's dangerous.
