    This is absolutely fabulous. I have my students make up cycled projects and this is perfect. I will be sharing this with them...as I do with many of your videos. Thanks for inspiring!

      Awesome!! I would have loved a sewing class in HS too! Your students are lucky to have a teacher cool enough to use UA-cam as s teaching tool, and the good taste to choose Angelina! 🥰

    Love these videos when you zero in on your sewing. These videos help refresh what I have done in the past. They also let me know that even though I'm an experienced sewer, working with resale garments is different. Keep it up! Love it!

    Okay this skirt is NEEDED!! But I'm actually super impressed that you top stitched that cleanly on that lil green machine! Like I was low key wincing because I always have to hand crank through thick layers on my brother project runway machine. Maybe I should make a switch 🤔

    I absolutely love this one!! I have a pair of lapis blue chinos that I think will make for a super cool twist on this idea! Bonus, they have a pen mark stain, so I have been avoiding wearing them... My blue chinos are about to live again. YESSSSS!

    Wow! The end result was totally awesome. I got a bit confuse because the black it was hard to sometime detect what exactly what is what. But I won't be doing this anytime soon, because of difficulty and the need to use a sewing machine. Gabby is becoming quite a stylist because she did well on the suggestion of the lace sleeve black blazer. Bravo Gabby! Angelina you probably should have made sure to mention that to make sure to not sew into the already existing slit pocket lining, so they don't loss all the space of that pocket. This would be pretty neat if you did it as side pockets to? Thanks for sharing and blessing to you and all in the days to come.

    Cudos Sister! As a sewist with some years of experience I was a little confused to start. Or maybe I just don’t wear cargo. What an exceptional outcome! Love how you let us see you trouble shoot and figure things out. Great tutorial. My daughter started styling me when she was 11 or 12. She was always right. Jumping off from a creative mom like you, her aesthetic choices must be magical. Cudos Gabby! Would not mind seeing your two approaches to styling for each outfit. Baby girl got fashion game!

    Omgee!!! I literally made this skirt in pink tweed but I was too intimidated to make the pockets so I made them heart shaped instead…. It came out super cute but I wish I saw this video before lmaooo You did amazing as usual & the styling was on point!!!!

  • @fashionrebelution
    @fashionrebelution 2 роки тому +1

  • @Mommamacnz
    @Mommamacnz 2 роки тому +9

    This skirt is amazing! You may also have helped me figure out the pocket situation on my work trousers (the pockets are so shallow that my phone, keys and wallet fall out! NOT ideal).
    If I was to make this, I think I'd use different colour trousers and make it with super bright or pastels pockets - or make several pairs in different colourways.

    • @carrie9716
      @carrie9716 2 роки тому +3

      That sounds awesome! One thing I have done with my pants before is cut the bottom of the pocket open (inside the pants) and sew a larger bottom in! It works really well for denim and slacks.

  • @karenhess619
    @karenhess619 2 роки тому +1

    LOVE the instructions on how to make the cargo pockets! In a prev vid you showed us the "double skirting". I wonder how this might look with a knee length skirt in chiffon, or similar fabric? Or maybe even a styling with old-fashioned (1960's) pettipants. You've inspired me to take a walk on the wild side..........
