Thrift Flip | Up Cycling Jeans | easy DIY denim pleated skirt, corset & shoulder bag
Hey guys! I am back again with another thrift flip. This is my first video using a sewing machine! *DO NOT WORRY, I am not discontinuing my hand sewing tutorials.* I just want to be able to put out more content for you guys and have a variety of these sewing videos on my channel. In this video, I am transforming three pairs of jeans into a pleated skirt, corset and a shoulder bag. I am not a professional, so don't take this video too seriously! Hopefully, this video is enjoyable to watch and gives you some inspiration to revamp unwanted pieces in your closet. Please leave any questions and video suggestions in the comments below.
xoxo, Jess

I am not a professional, so enjoy these mediocre versions of Brandy clothing. Hopefully this video is enjoyable to watch and gives you inspiration to revamp your own closet.

    • @jessicasu6594
      @jessicasu6594 2 місяці тому

      Hii <3 This step is not necessary, but for my specific measurements, the pockets were in the way and I would've ended up cutting through them if I didn't remove them first! Also, removing them can give you a bit more seam allowance! I hope this helps, happy sewing <333

    That pleated jean skirt flip is adorable. It definitely gives retro Y2K vibes yet it’s still timeless because it’s not a micro-mini skirt like the Y2K version of this look. Great work will all the flips!

    Hi!! For the pleats on the skirt I was wondering.. how do you know the the long piece will make it all the way around the skirt? 😊

    • @jessicasu6594
      @jessicasu6594 2 місяці тому

      Hii <33 Here is the breakdown of the calculation for that measurement: 1) Measure around the top half of the skirt (where you will be connecting the two pieces) 2) Take that measurement and divide by 5 (this is equal to the number of pleats you will make to fit around the skirt) 3) Take the number of pleats and multiply it by 7 (this accounts for the 3.5 cm times 2 between each pleat) 4) That's it! The final number is the length of the long piece (in cm) I hope this helps, happy sewing <333
