That is a great idea! Thanks!

You have to do what works for you. I'm glad you are trying it. I don't think I'd have near the success if my sewing table wasn't flat.

For me it depends on how the pockets look. I don't want to overwhelm the garment so I will do both kinds depending on the look I'm going for.

You are so welcome! You can do it!

One of the selfish reasons I did the channel was to refer back to them if I don't make them in awhile....lol....so i understand

I always just make sure the lace is facing the right way. Lace has a right side and wrong side just like fabric and then you can decide if you want it to be under or on top of the denim and then I just used a straight stitch and sewed it on. Hope that helps.

I did the same thing for years as well. My Mom only ever sewed with new fabric so it never even crossed my mind.

@@SherryJonesDesigns 😄 now we catching up lost time

I'm glad you like it and I try and teach beginner friendly things. It helps a lot if you have a big flat sewing area around your machine though.

@@SherryJonesDesigns yes, my first problem is I must dare creativity, dare colors matching, find many different way. But with time, I will dare ☺

Yes, you could add a second layer and attach it in the same way.

@@SherryJonesDesigns thanks :) happy sewing.

Thank you so much. Yes, its best to drop the feed dogs...the thing that moves your fabric forward, set the machine stitch length to zero and then the zig zag to the width of the button hole. Then hand turn it over a couple of times to make sure it isn't hitting the button and sew slowly till you have it secure. I usually count to 10 stitches. Hope that helps.

Thank you and I'm so glad it blessed you. I was surprised myself.

I was surprised but I have heard other youtubers say they like and use it. Also there is a brand the same company makes called Folk Art. I should try it. It might be even better. Its a tiny bit more but so far, I'm using the one I have cause I have lots....lol

I'm glad it blessed you and don't forget to check out the comment section. There were a lot of good ideas in there as well, like I didn't lower my feed dogs. It would have made it smoother and watch those fingers cause it would be easy to have a nasty accident.

Thank you so much!

I'm so glad it blessed you! Thank you for letting me know :)

Hi an I hope all is well in Germany! Thank you so much for the lovely comment and for letting me know where you are from.

Thank you! It is fun to do and I'm going to try and add some other elements like buttons, patches, etc. I noticed that a lot of people use the Folk art paint as well. I think it is made by the same company as apple barrel and is one grade better so I may also give it a try but I think Apple Barrel works nicely. I"m excited for you! I hope you have fun.

Oh, thank you. I guess we are all our own worst critics.

I'm so glad it blessed you! I've been meaning to compare the paints for a while now. Its amazing how time just slips away.

That is a good idea. I've seen other upcyclers selling heart appliques and pockets so I could as well. Thank you for such a lovely idea.

This is a great idea! I think they would sell well!!!

I wanted to see how they did on their own. I was mostly curious how each one behaved as I tried to apply it as we all know dried paint likes to come out of nothing in the laundry....lol

@@SherryJonesDesigns yup before my hubby passed (he was an art teacher) he did a lot of paint on denim research and did denim jackets with angel and fairy wings on them that I sold at craft fairs. I am going to play with all of his paints a bit and if I don’t enjoy it will have stuff to add to my destash pile 😝

My biggest requirement was that the paint not be stiff and that it survived the wash

That is a great idea!

Understandable. I am not sure its for me either. Though I will say this, I can imagine incorporating both elements into a single piece along with patches and buttons etc. I think it would be lovely and it was quite fun but maybe the 'do it at home' kind of fun.

It would also look really short for summer!

I wish you the best. For me the biggest reward is sharing something I love. I am sad that the monetary side is just not there. I noticed what UA-cam did to me and other beginning creators is to give one nice check and then keep you chasing the money....hoping it will happen again. They get lots of content that way at little to no cost to them and I honestly believe they are not being honest with the creators and keeping the lions share of money earned. I've seen big youtubers quitting or changing tactics like using the members function or selling stuff or promoting items to fill the gap.

I agree that for the best fray in anything it must be cotton. One will only achieve light fraying with blends but in upcycled clothing that can be such a blessing because it allows for a frayed look without being too frayed or fragile and I've also learned that really open weave fabrics are not stable being used as raw edges. So much to learn. I'm learning stuff all the time. Thank you so much for sharing.

Thank you!

The nice thing about upcycling is that you can buy used clothing and turn it into something amazing. So it isn't just about using your own used clothing but about resourcing and using used clothing, linens, etc. and thus recycling them into new life. If you are looking to save money and help the environment at the same tine, it is a great way to do both.

Can't wait to make one! Thankyou ❤❤
