Second Life Upcycling
Приєднався 28 гру 2023
Second Life Upcycling is about giving clothing and other every day items a second life, inspiring others to recycle, repurpose, reuse and rethink. On my channel, you'll find easy, quick, and simple step-by-step upcycling projects, sewing tutorials and thrifting tips
I have been thrifting and upcycling for 30+ years. Now, I rarely buy anything new, preferring to thrift shop and buy second hand. I am passionate about following an ethical lifestyle, that is kind to our natural environment.
Ideally, I try to purchase the majority of my thrift haul purchases from the 'last chance' rack where the clothes are destined for landfill or to be turned into rags.
I hope the tips, projects and tutorials on my channel inspire others to upcycle, repurpose and refashion wherever they can.
Thanks for stopping by,

I bought the dress from my local Salvation Army thrift shop for $2 (Australian dollars). It fit well but I didn’t like the sleeve length as I thought it would be too hot for the summer so I decided to shorten them. Once I had shortened the sleeves I thought it was still too plain so decided to add a collar.
What is a Peter Pan collar?
A Peter Pan collar is a flat, rounded collar that lays close to the neckline of a garment, often seen in top, blouses, dresses and kid's clothes.
It features soft, curved edges, creating a gentle, feminine look.
The collar's design was inspired by the costume worn by actress Maude Adams in her portrayal of Peter Pan in a 1905 stage production, and it has since become a timeless and iconic style in fashion.
Peter Pan collars are often associated with a vintage clothing and added to clothes to give them a feminine aesthetic.

ABOUT SECOND LIFE UPCYCLING
Second Life Upcycling is about altering and upcycling clothes to give them a second life, inspiring people to recycle, repurpose, refashion, reuse, and rethink. On this channel, you'll find easy, quick, and simple step-by-step clothes upcycling tips and easy sewing tutorials. I have been thrifting, second-hand shopping, and sewing for 30+ years. I started thrifting in the 1980s. My passion is following an ethical style when it comes to my clothing choices and living an environmentally friendly life. I rarely buy new clothes (or anything new for that matter), instead shopping second hand at shops, Goodwill, Vinnies, Salvos and flea markets.
THE BENEFITS OF CLOTHES UPCYCLING
Clothes upcycling promotes a more sustainable, creative, and responsible approach to fashion, all of which contributes to a healthier planet and a more sustainable future.
* Clothes upcycling helps reduce waste by repurposing old or unwanted garments, often diverting them from landfill.
* With the fashion industry being one of the planets largest polluters, upcycling and repurposing clothing reduces the need for new materials and decreases carbon emissions associated with the product and disposal of clothing.
* Traditional clothing manufacturing consumes significant amounts of water, energy, and raw materials. Upcycling clothing not only extends the life of existing textiles, conserving these valuable resources, but promotes more sustainable consumption patterns.
* Upcycling clothes and other materials encourages creative freedom by transforming old clothes into unique, personalised garments. Upcycling and sewing fosters innovation and encourages people to experiment with designs, creating one-of-a-kind items that reflect personal style and creativity.
* Upcycling clothing can be very cost-effective by reducing money spent purchasing new clothes but can also assist charities when clothes are purchased second hand from charities.
* Repairing and mending clothing enhances the longevity of existing garments, giving them longevity in your wardrobe and limiting the need to purchase new clothes. This contrasts with fast fashion items, which are frequently designed for short-term use.

Great idea - I’ve never seen a cap sleeve added to a strap like that before - I shall definitely bear it in mind when upcycling. Thank you from a Granny in Scotland. The dress is much improved by your addition. 🥰
Thanks for the kind feedback. I appreciate it. If you give the cap sleeve a try, let me know how you go.
Very cute.
👋👋👍
You didn't show how you finished the top of the insert, under the arm.
Thanks so much for the feedback. On this project I was able to tuck under the fabric at the top and hand sew it in place. I will take some photos this weekend and pop them here in the comments. Apologies for forgetting to include this step in the video.
Hi, I uploaded some photos to my website of the outer and inner top seam (I can't add them to comments in You Tube). You can see them here - secondlifeupcycling.com/how-to-resize-a-shirt/. I hope it helps 😀

Wow this video was very helpful!❤❤❤❤ 👇🏻
💥💥Hi, Nice to meet you. I have seen the videos on your channel(Second Life Upcycling). Your video is excellent but video optimization is very poor and no SEO score. Moreover, the logo, and banner are not pretty enough. No rank tags and there are many problems. Your UA-cam channel immediately needs to be SEO-friendly. I am a Digital Marketer, Graphics designer, and SEO Specialist. If you want you can discuss. Thank you. Masum❤❤❤
That is very inspirational and simple and practical, thank you ❤ I want to spend my time with upcycling and sewing, I like this topic, but don't know where to start. I'll follow what you share:) Thanks again for hope ☺️
Maybe a long jacket with the beautiful peacock on the back. Although its not clothing, I was thinking the peacock would be lovely as a wall hanging.
Thanks for the suggestions. The peacock is so gorgeous I am scared to do anything with it. I do like the idea of a wall hanging. Then I could admire it every day. I'll keep you posted... Thanks again.
Cute! Thank you for this quick upcycle! Brenda in AZ 🌵
Cute! That design just happened by itself on the tie dye? I want to practice tie dying! Brenda in AZ 🌵
Thanks Brenda. Yes, the dye design just happened organically. I didn't do anything special to achieve it. I dyed it twice using different colours to get a really rich, mottled colour. Give it a go. The fun part is the surprise of how the dye is going to turn out. 😃
Hi! New subscriber from your post in our Upcycle group! ☺️ Brenda in AZ 🌵
Thanks so much, Brenda. Any feedback you can provide is appreciated.
❤
Loved it! Thank you!
Thanks so much.
Hello, I hope you are well. I saw your UA-cam channel. Your channel and video content is very good. Also the thumbnail design is very attractive. But here are some problems: 1. SEO score is very low 2. No title - description - tags are SEO friendly 3. Not sharing on social media platforms and your UA-cam channel is a lot of trouble. As a result views, likes and subscribers are not increasing. Benefits of 100% SEO Score: 1/ Views will increase 2/ Likes will increase 3/ Customers will increase 4/ Viewing time will increase 5/ Business will increase 6/ Audience will increase. 7/ Sales will increase. So, if you want your channel to increase subscribers, views, likes and comments with proper video SEO, Google ads and monetization. It will be your right decision. Do you want to increase your SEO score? I am waiting for your response. Thank you.
I really like these quick and easy upcycles! I don't think you need the background music though 😘
Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate it. Any other suggestions you may have would be appreciated x
Really clever...thank you!
I love the idea of upcycling clothing! The pants turned out great.
Maravilhosa
I love the way you can look at an item of clothing and immediately decide what it needs to make it truly yours. And then DO it. I'm more of a procrastinator, afraid it won't come out the way I see it in my mind and so, afraid to cut into the fabric, it just gathers dust. I must become more decisive and think of each item as a learning experience. As of now, I have lots of items I've "unpicked", as you folks say, but not put back together.
This top came out so cute! Just found your channel and subscribed. You have a good eye for refashioning and I like the way you keep your videos to the point. Looking forward to catching up with your past videos and watching what you do next!
🤩🤩🤩
Thank you, I’m going to try that with one of my daughters dresses
Goodluck. Please share the results.
👍👍👍👍
I just came across your channel and I look forward to seeing more. I’ve been wanting to attempt doing this to some shirts.
Goodluck. Please share how your shirts turn out. I love getting inspiration from other people's upcycling projects.
Love it! It says you can see the tutorial on your channel -- does that mean a different channel? I don't see a full tutorial here.
Thanks for letting me know. I think this is the tutorial you're looking for - ua-cam.com/video/xiEldzCS-M4/v-deo.html
Awesome tutorial! Though I confess - I love bell sleeves, so I couldn't have cut those off! LOL
I love a bell sleeve too. They can totally transform a top x
Very clever
Hi, I analyzed your UA-cam channel and found some problems. If you solve this, your video will rank on UA-cam, you can get more views. Do you want to talk about it for a while
This is brilliant! I have an old handbag which i love but is getting very worn, i will try this on it 👍 thanks for your video
I recommend you try restoring your old handbag. It's easier than you think and will prolong the life of your handbag so you can continue using it for many years.
I'm not as good of a thirfter as you are because I suck at sewing but I have noticed something. Men's clothes are usually much better made than women's clothing. And men's blue jeans have much better, deeper pockets than women's do! I did buy a man's suit jackket and had it altered. Great channel!
I have been thrifting for decades so have had lots of practice 😀 I often buy men's shirts and upcycle them into dresses. I haven't tried a man's jacket though. I might have to add it to my thrift shopping list this week... Thanks for the inspiration 🙏
@@SecondLifeUpcycling You are so creative. I think you're going to enjoy men's jackets, even the dress trousers too from a men's suit.
Great video. I used to shine shoes but using eucalyptus oil was new to me. You did some great steps I never would have thought of. How do you dela with cracked leather?
I haven't tried cracked leather yet... Have you?
@@SecondLifeUpcycling I've done some in the distant past. Horse harness and the like mostly although I did do some shoes and boots for my job and for costume departments in theater. Be prepeared to get dirty, LOL!! 1] What I used to do was first of all soak the cracked part in deep conditioner like lanolin. I would soak it for anywhere from a couple of hours to overnight, surrounded by a cloth so it didn't get too messy. 2] I'd gently rub it in and see how things were going. I might need to do a second application. 3] Then I would clean it with saddle soap and sponge, again checking if the leather is beginning to plump up. (It's skin after all). If I needed to gently trim some excess with tiny scissors I would. 4] Then I would spot dye or completely dye the piece. 5] More conditiong, this time with a lighter conditionere like Lexol brand, then rub with a clean rag (cotton, old cloth baby diaper, that kind of thing) to get the excess off. 2 coats. 6] I didn't use shoe polish on horse harness because it could be toxic, but if the item it isn't for horses, I'd do 2 coats of polish rubbed in well with your hands (yes, it's gross), rub, brush rub (with cloth). The reason why you use your hands to apply the polish is because the heat from your hands helps the polish absorb and get into the fibers. 7} For non-aminal wearing: finally a leather protecter. Some shoe companies make a clear finishing polish. I would do the last steps with shoes, belts, purse etc. I'm almost 70 and starting caring for horse equipment when I was around 10 or 11. I learned shoe shining in my 30s from a very elderly African-American gentleman. I shined shoes for a living for about a year, maybe 2. Hope this helps.
Thanks so much for your suggestions. I made notes of the products and applications you use. Leather protector is my new go-to now. I have just reconditioned some leather boots (3 x pairs) and they are like new again - and so soft! I have taken some video footage and will create a tutorial on the process. I like to inspire people to take care of their leather products instead of throwing them away and buying new when they become a bit tatty. Thanks again. Much appreciated.
@@SecondLifeUpcycling my pleasure!
