#THRIFTFLIP #DIY
When you have a long area to gather, like that babydoll dress, it helps to sew your basting stitch in sections instead of the whole thing in one continuous line. So like, divide it up into fourths and sew a basting stitch for that section, end it, cut the thread, and start the next section. That way you won't have to scootch your gathers all the way to the end.
I actually did that at first, but it was leaving some funky flat parts that I was not a fan of. And it wasn’t too difficult to scoot them around, so I just ended up with the full father. Thanks for watching and sharing!
The flat hair iron is such a genius move, omg. I’m shook.
Lol right? Works really well in a pinch!
This is my first time watching your videos. All three projects are adorable. I particularly liked the second one with the ruffled layers. I have sewn for over 50 years. Some of your techniques are quite different, but your creativity is so awesome. Your are very talented. And it is very enjoyable watching your videos.
I'm no expert seamstress, just have some skills and a lot of confidence to dive in and change things up haha Thank you so much!!
the second dress is SO CUTE!! I love the two-toned colors they work so well with each other!! Such a cute dress!
And the third dress!! Oh my gosh!! I love the little knots in the front of the straps it is SO STINKIN CUTE!!
AHH thank you!! I can’t pick a favorite between the two honestly haha
@@WellLoved They're all lovely.!
Super cute! The pinafore/jumper dress would be cute out of a man's corduroy shirt.
So true! Thanks!
I know this is an old video BUT my fave was the multi color button dress. I would definitely wear that. 🥰🥰🥰.. They all turned out really nice. Awesome work Adey ✨
thanks so much!
@@WellLoved Of course 😊💕
Ahhh, you do make me smile. Your enthusiasm is so refreshing, watching you jiggle about to the prefect music makes me want to jiggle about with you!!! The dresses are great, I love your creativity and you always look so cute when they are finished.... I love you dancing with your dog too xx
thanks so much!
I like the dual tone dress!
I am DEFF going to try the last one
Yes!!!
Pockets, I would have added contrasting pockets on the front...but it sure is cute. Reminds me of a dress I made back in the '80's. Blessings.
Ooo cute!!
I absolutely love those dresses! and I've wanted to make a little tank top that style for ages too, I think you've convinced me to do it!! One tip: I think you would have had enough fabric to make a curved facing out of the sleeve for the pinafore, and it would have made your life WAY easier. I could be wrong though, you might have tried that. Either way, I am no stranger to making things way harder on myself when I'm sewing than I have to too, so thanks for the relatable content 🥰
I did actually try that and with the way the fabric laid, it was not having it haha so I had to switch over to the straight facing. Thanks for sharing the tip though! And thanks for watching!
@@WellLoved ooh okay!! I'm glad it ended up working out!! 💕
I happened upon some of your videos tonight and I just had to tell you how much I am adoring you and your channel. I am loving the retro style you give to these otherwise tossed aside clothes. Keep up the great work :)
thank you so much!!
Very cute. I think I like the dress best. There are some buttondowns invery nice fabrics, so I'll let that inspire me when I decide what to make.
The dress is definitely my favorite too!
The two tone dress is amazing!!!
Thank you! I LOVE that piece!
That was such great fun.. Loved the green little crop and pinafore... You are so full of life and inspiration!!
wow thank you! I love getting to share the joy of life!
I use my flat iron. It's so convenient! I also can't fold down my ironing board at the moment so... The sew must go on!
Hahah I love that!!
now that was a very useful idea that I will be imitating...tfs😉
These are my favorite of your videos. I am currently trying to creat my own "thrift flip" for the first time. I cant wait to see more videos!
Thank you!! Yay good luck!
I love the second one. I love dresses and the colors make it even better. Can’t wait to check out your site.
Thank you so much!! Yes the colors are KILLER on this!
Have you considered using the back of the shirt for the front of the new garment you’re making, since it has no button placket and is a solid piece of fabric. You could remove the placket and use those two pieces for the back with a seam down the center, as you may not need the extra width if you’re sizing down a larger shirt, although the front pieces may yield more length if the shirt has a yoke across the back. Just a suggestion. 😊
Terrific flips....................again!! 💕💕😀😀
Thank you so much!!
Love the rust n peach dress
Me too!!
Omg l love the brown one also
Isn’t it so cute?! I love it!
ok but I love the dress you're wearing while sewing!!!
YES it's one of my best vintage finds!
lOVE !
🧡🧡
These are adorable! And I love the way you speed through the tedious parts to make the videos more fun! When you get that iron, it will make an amazing difference in the overall look. Press every seam!
Thank you so much!! I actually think I may prefer the flat iron for pressing all my seams haha thanks for watching!
Top looks amazing ♥️♥️♥️
Thank you so much!!
Hi again, greetings from Jamaica, I love the tiered dress and the last one the jumper dress oh my gosh if I had oversize shirts I would go to sewing now but I would definitely need a few,, I am 6ft tall and 45" hips. So I need some big shirts,, guess what,, your color choices were amazing especially the ones use in the tiered dress and jumper dress ,, thanks for sharing your love for sewing with us , nuff love.....
Thank you so much! You could definitely make some amazing pieces for yourself with some button downs! I love those colors too! Thanks for watching!
Beautiful
Thanks!
Great ideas 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😊😊😊😊
Thank you!!
I really want to make the pinafore. My husband won't let me cut up his shirt, so I guess I'll have to wait for the thrift stores to open!
Haha my husband is the same way 😂
Hi. Hello. Howdy. Thank you for sharing. I SAY ADORABLE...Later
thanks so much!
Why don´t you make the straps first and fix them with the seam on the neckline?
Because I didn’t think about it until the project was done 😂
@@WellLoved #relatable. The number of times I've forgotten straps is just insane. Also, I absolutely love your videos and I just had to say that you've inspired me so much! I have had a channel for like 5 years and have barely posted, I've also taken some of my old ones down, but you're really inspiring me to just go for it and stop stressing so much ☺️
Can you please show how to make a dress out of a white button down shirt
You can make any of these pieces with any color button down! That’s the beauty of button downs for thrift flipping,they’re all pretty identical!
U are soooo cool 👏👏👏
Thank you!!
I feel like you did a great job, but you could have turned the two shirts, the peach and the brown into a shirt and skirt. It would be very nice. Like an off-shoulder long sleeve blouse with an A-Line skirt ( the common slip satin skirt style).
I thought about making a two-piece, but I thought it would be a fun challenge to make a full skirt dress with them. thanks!
I would love to see all the way to the floor on your outfits.
ok!
Wouldn't a mannequin of some sort help a lot?
I actually have a mannequin, and i prefer to not use it haha not sure why, just seems more like an adventure that way!
This is super cutee!! I love thrift flipping dress shirt.
I recently just launched my channel. I do thrift flips and DIY too. Hopefully you guys will enjoy it too 😀
Me too! Thanks so much! YAY, good luck on your UA-cam journey!
❤️
The dress you are wearing with the strings on the side did you make it and if so is there a tutorial?
💛
I did not make it. Thanks for watching!
I don't understand why you get so few likes
lol
falls short in that the fitting is not done at all. Kind of just cut everything into a boxy shape and it is not flattering at all. Keep trying, though, to get a good video for all to enjoy.
Some of these items were actually supposed to be for a larger size since I’m making them for others to purchase. Others are styled to be boxy, like the babydoll dress. I think it’s just a matter of preference, and I prefer them this way. Thanks for sharing your preference! I love hearing about people’s style!
