That's definitely your color.
@@notconvincedgranny6573 I know, right?
@@notconvincedgranny6573 Thank you 💕
Good great job
Yees, that's cute tooo 😊 Thanks!
In the seventies/before, one out of three black women knew how to sew/knitt/crochet/embroid, etc....making their beautiful designs in the Boomer era!!!!!! I was Blessed to know how to sew/crochet These were crafts that was therapeutic fun/economical/creatively stylish, these crafts were such individualized gifts, that I escaped to!!!!!! I absolutely love seeing you beautiful, GOD gifted, very creative young lady, at work educating/teaching/sharing your awesome talents!!!! You are a lovely, passionate, fun, free spirited, innovative, fashion designer!!!!!! You are offering new level, awesome beneficial ideas, to an audience who are being educated from your professional skills......I appreciate you!!!!!!!!!!
Angelina! I appreciate you for including your "plus-size" audience. It truly means a lot.
You know I got you 😉
Same!!
Yes! Thanks for adding us curvy girls!
Tip for upcycling: if you have a bunch of T-Shirts lying around that don't match in color, you can always dye them.
Great idea! Or, after sewing them together, perhaps bleach tie-dye the new garment to get a cohesive look?
Or just shirk society's expectations of aesthetics and make a weird combo 😄
@@instant_mint or get a UA-cam channel and show us...lol
I was just going to suggest that tie-dye works beautiful in these summer dresses. I was suggest grateful dyes if you were on the West Coast and there's another professional dye place on the east coast called dharma trading. both have wonderful professional dyes. You have to soak your fabric first in soda ash for 15 minutes or you can even spray it on and then you spin the fabric until it's barely damp and then you apply the dyes you can scrunch the fabric you can paint the dye on and that results in beautiful beautiful fabrics and beautiful colors you can't get any place else. I always get tons of compliments on the clothing I make myself and dye myself. You learn how to mix the dyes fairly quickly but there's a lot of tutorials on dye mixing or you can just buy them pre-mixed at these places and they have beautiful colors. Again great job on the tutorial. I was able to buy 60-in wide fabric from dharma trading for $4 a yard so I have tons of it I bought a whole bolt. And the cotton is super soft and super strong I believe it was mixed with rayon. but excellent job on the tutorial and your dress design is great. loved it
Instead of a safety pin which of course is a good choice You can also use a Tapestry or yarn needle too You can get a four pack for $2 at any craft shop
I'm 70 years young.. luv fabrics.. could live in a fabric or thrift store- lol!! This is a brilliant idea! Could layer it over a t-shirt .. you're right.. the possibilities are endless!! Luv the gradient colors! The top you're wearing and matching lipstick are beautiful, lovely lady. I subscribed for your positivity and ASMR!!
Thanks so much! 🥰
Being an artist and a single mom in expensive times I take a lot of satisfaction in being able to recycle and upcycle many items for everyday use. I bought myself a sewing machine about a year ago and have been scanning youtube videos for inspiration. I just came across you today and think you're my favourite. Your personality and creativeness shine. I'm going to try and make a dress like this but cheat by using the sewing machine. Thank you for the idea and I'll be seeing all your future videos.
Yeah, the sewing machine would be faster for sure. 😁 Thank you 💕
I was gifted a box of white t-shirt, from no to triple X. Now I know what I can do with some of them. Make this dress for my granddaughter, my daughter and myself. I love the idea of tie dying them, leaving them white. You are so right. This project is very versatile. Thanks for bringing this to our attention❤️👍🏽🌹🌹🌹
That’s going to be so cool!
Heihei is the chicken's name on Moana... pronounced "hey hey."
Love this sun dress! Thank you for the idea. Beautiful 😍
Love it!! A random piece of advice for anyone upcycling (or buying clothes) - if you have trouble with feeling very sweaty in some clothes, pay attention to the fiber content! Synthetic fibers like polyester, nylon, elastane, etc, can cause the fabric to not "breathe", trapping heat and moisture causing you to feel really sweaty. Stick to natural fibers like cotton, linen, wool, silk, hemp, etc as well as processed natural fibers like viscose and modal. Anything with synthetic content over 5%, doesn't work for me. 95% cotton 5% elastane is fine but things like 70% cotton 30% polyester is a nono for me, wayy to clammy and uncomfortable. Just a tip, this took me DECADES to discover lol
Thanks so much for that! I’m sure it will help a ton of people.
Very good advice for every woman specially when getting to that age ( 45+) then we really really need 100% cotton....🥵😵🙄🤤
@@flaffylally I can imagine 😅 I'm only mid 20s though haha
Thanks sis for the information 🥰🥰🥰
I love thrifting but a word of caution - you can end up with an infestation of clothes moths if thrifted clothes are not washed in very hot water (or frozen in a bag in the freezer for 3 days) as soon as you bring them home.
THAT FINAL RESULT FOR A NO SEW EFFORT is JUST GIVING ME LIFE
What an amazing Idea!!!!!! You just got a new subscriber. Thank you sooooo much for sharing your wonderful and well explained and shown ideas🥰❤️
Welcome to the BlueprintDIY family! 🤗
Wow...This is absolutely brilliant what you've done!...a No-Sew Sundress...And it looks soooo cute!...Well done!...🙏💜
Thank you 💕
Omg I love this! I love how I can pick and choose my combination of colors 💚💚💚 I love your color combination! And I only need a scissors and a safety pin? Guuuurlll yes I love it! I’m looking forward to doing this myself!
Yayyy, I’m so glad!
@BlueprintDIY….GIRL🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
look at Angelina and Drew…what a Lovely pair.
Angelina I’m so Proud of you, you have opened up so many eyes, to help them stop being slaves to fashion…I Love everything you’re doing.
Great Job Drew!…thanks for helping Angelina fly!
Thanks so much! 🙏🏾
The slit and shirt yarn is so helpful for so many other things! I do a trick where instead of tucking my shirts in, I wrap a ribbon/belt around my waist and pull the shirt thru and I think this would so help with that! Thanks so much!!
I ❤️ this!
I want to make these in ombre, rainbow & black for my daughter!
I'm a magenta girl!
It looks perfect for when you're kicked back watching your favorite UA-cam creators or shows!
Thank you so much for sharing your amazing creations!
Angelina, I love this and it's so cute on you! The colors are beautifully popping! All my fav colors 😍!! This is adorable*. I can even see this with a pattern in the middle, even with a pattern for each tier or cool designs from a shirt in the middle too. Love your version Angelina and love that the possibilities are truly endless! Thanx so much for sharing!! 💚💙💚
Yes, I can see cool bands tee too. 🤔 Thanks!
@@BlueprintDIYOh Yea, I can def see cool band tees too*. Welcome chicka!
Why do I want to make this with a denim top? This dress is so amazing! So fun and springy! Also a great way to get rid of old t-shirts that might have stains but are in too good condition to throw away. Ooohh-tie dye shirts and then then put them together. Like a tie dye color blocking.
I just discovered your channel. It is fantastic!! The summer dress you created without sewing is sheer genius! I love it. Looking forward to going through your older videos as well as getting into your new ones to help up cycle my closet.
Thanks so much! ☺️
OMG yes thank you for sharing this ☺️ I have so many tshirts that husband doesn't wear I don't wear can now make something cute for myself and my daughter and it look awesome. This helps save money by reusing old tshirts or like you buy tshirts from thrift store. Can't wait to make dress for my daughter she is going to love it.
You made that look so easy!! I can’t wait to go grab some tee shirts and make some home made “teeshirt moo-moos” for me for summer. Totally awesome!!
OMG! This is super cute!! I love that it’s no sew!
Gurl' this is absolutely fantastic, I have a "Desiqual" Tshirt dress that I found at TjMaxx for $22 over a year ago that is a small but I can wear medium yet usually wear large. Sure enough it fits ok being Tshirt material but it's too short for me (old enough to be your mom 🙂). So I've worn it with pants underneath but said to myself I need to decide on a way to wear it as a dress such as put a slip dress underneath or somethin'🤔
Low-n- behold here you are today with my solution ☺️😁 of adding to the bottom of this dress!👏🏿🎉💖 Pass the collection plate Sis😘
And don't get me started on the dress you just showed us. I'm fixin' wear my renegade sweatshirt with a new level of blessed pride! THANK YOU 😘💖🎉
Aww, thanks so much! I’m so glad it was helpful. 🙌🏾
Amazing share!!!
This is one of the cutest no sew T-shirt up cycles I’ve ever seen!
Thank you 💕
Thanks for this video! Highly inspirational as always, but more so because there is no way that anyone, any skill-level, or access to tools cannot so this and make it personal and great!! Love this!!💜💜💜
Thanks Kim!
Wow!!! Girrrrlll!!!!! That is incredible!!!! Love it!! Thank you so much for non stop inspiring me!!! You blow me mind everytime!!
Thank you 💕
Angelina, this might be my favourite upcycle you've ever done! I might take your idea and make a top.
I love this video Angelina!! I can see so many ways this technique can be used. I've been silently learning on my own through your videos every week I get excited!!!
Yayyy, that makes me so happy!
I have extra fabric I'm going to make me a sundress!!! Yeah! I can't find a dress I like and tall enough. I love this! ❤️ Thank you for the idea!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I always enjoy your videos and this one is a must try! I'm imagining making the straps wider and adding pockets. Perhaps midi length. Wow... To the thrift store I go!!
Yayyy!
@@BlueprintDIY Wouldn't it be possible , with a wide enough shirt, to use the sleeves pushed inside to be the pockets? Or would the shoulders get in the way?
This construction method is pure genius. Thanks so much for doing this tutorial!
Thank you 💕
Sis. That is too cute. I can get my granddaughters to help make sun dress for the summer. Great tips
Yes, that’s going to be so cute!
I was thinking the same thing for my granddaughter as well✨✨
I'm not sure if I am going to make this myself yet, but I am definitely sharing this! People are always asking me how to get into making their own clothes or reconstructing clothes when the see mine and this is a great tutorial for beginners!
I love sewing and crafting and needlepoint but I'm not getting any younger and my eyes are not getting any better there getting worse this is so wonderful thank you so much for sharing this I absolutely love it I can make little sundresses for myself for my granddaughters and not have a problem with my eyesight bless your heart thank you baby girl
You are very inspiring and talented! ❤️❤️❤️
Love and Light to you and yours! ❤️❤️❤️
I make my daughter's t-shirts she grows out of into dresses by adding the bottom half of a bigger t-shirt to the bottom. I am SO subscribed to you!!!
That is awesome because kids grow so fast!
Girrrllll,girl! You are so very talented! I subscribed 1. Min in! I loved the way you were singing to yourself about architecture school and questioning your life choices. You might not be constructing buildings but you are making clothes and teaching others how to do it easily. Your using that knowledge you attained in school. Creative training transfers amongst mediums. I can't wait to make a that dress! Pardon me in I saw though,its easier on my artists hands! Thank you for the inspiration!
Thank you so much!! 💕 Welcome to the BlueprintDIY family! 🤗
I LOVE this! Gotta try it and I can see this as an off the shoulder tee with ruffle sleeves. Wanna play around with that idea. Thanks so much for your creativity!
Yes, I like that idea!
Absolutely love this and it's so easy...even someone who is a disaster at sewing like me can do this. Thank you so much for this, I live in these types of dresses in the summer. You have a new subscriber.
Thank you 💕 Welcome to the BlueprintDIY family! 🤗
It looks great!😀😍😍😍
I love this idea of creating a sundress from Tee shirts!!!👍🏽💯❤️
Never have seen the no sew sun dress this is absolutely awesome, I love purple and I look forward to seeing more of your techniques, thank you for sharing this super idea
Thank you 💕
100%! That purple lip looks 100%, too!
Thank you 💕
Ms.Angelina you rock!!!
Blowing my mind! Right away thought of swim coverups, especially for my ten year old great granddaughter! She is a long drink of water, this would be so easy to adjust the length! Blessed and safe days!
That’s a great idea! 👍🏾
WOW you did that!! The t-shirt dress is absolutely beautiful!!
Thank you for sharing 🙏🏽❤️
I didn't know I needed a new beach cover up until this video. This is genius.
Good stuff Ms. Lady! Can't wait to try...I'm sure the best part is getting compliments and casually responding.. "Thank yoooou, I made it"! That's ALWAYS the best for me.
Yesss
Queen of the upcycle world...... I always appreciate your creative mind. 😍😍😍 . Can you please do some sewing tutorials for sailor pants, wide leg pant or for any other large size pants........ please.......
If you are question your life let me give you the answer...you are doing what God intended for you. This was an amazing idea. I was just about to buy a dress for $40 just like this. This is a great idea for a teen girl activity. Brava!
Thanks so much! 🙏🏾
This is great and you could remove layers if you wanted a shorter dress today and put them back in tomorrow for a maxi. Love this
Exactly 👍🏾
This was my favorite diy no sew
Oh my god, I love the very first part of just the strip weaving through the slits of the shirt! I'm looking for a shirt to do that to right now!🤩 You could do that at the hem, right under the bust, along the collar!! Brilliant!
That fuchsia color is so beautiful for you.
Thank you 💕
I absolutely love this and now need to make a few of these with tees we have around the house! Love love love all your videos, Angelina, you make me smile.
Thank you 💕
This is super cute! Definitely making me and granddaughter one these dresses! 👗💃🏾
Beautiful! I started upcycling t-shirts myself a couple of years ago when I had a v-neck shaped tee in a colour (raspberry pink) and style I loved but it was too short, so I grabbed some other old tees from my wardrobe (one white and one turquoise) that I liked the colour of but not fond of the logos on them and they were too wide with no shape. I kept the top with the shape at the top pretty much the same (cut off the bottom hem) and added the other 2 wide ones below. I added side slits to the bottom layer and came out with a super comfortable summer dress that I get complements on whenever I wear it. (My grandson calls it my bomb-pop dress). I liked it so much that I did the same with a white sleeveless v-neck tee on top, and did a tier of navy, and a tier of gathered gray and added gray patch pockets. I absolutely love it and have also received many compliments. I used a sewing machine to make both of mine but watching you make this beautiful sundress I am inspired with the idea of making a peplum top! Thank you for sharing your wonderful creativity, you are truly amazing!
Those both sound so cute! Thank you 💕
GENIUS! What a beautiful way to recycle and make a gorgeous dress! I can totally see this on a cruise, on vacation, or just for going out! Love this !
Btw the chicken is called “ hay-hay”
Thank you 💕
Oh my oh my !! You did it again !! Favorite list definitely !!! I have a box of extra large t shirts my hubby tossed !!💖
Oh yayyy! You already have the perfect materials.
What a fantastic idea! You’re so right, the possibilities are endless with this technique! Love your positivity always!
I'm on my third of your videos today. Your personality is so genuine and lovely and these are projects I might actually do, haha, not an easy task! Thanks for all the wonderful content!
I liked the dress. And, I liked your purple top. You mentioned near the end that you had sewn that top too. Or, at least I think that is what I heard. The top is beautiful. It doesn't look like t-shirt fabric. It looks more like silk, given the depth of the purple in the top.
It’s one of my first scissors only t-shirt upcycles. ☺️
Too cute. That would be a cute quick option for a lazy day
👋Didi 💟
Yup!
I absolutely love this method of making a dress. It's just what I needed to see before I go "thrifting" this weekend. Now, I'm wanting to make at least one of these dresses. Maybe four of 'em with one being sleeveless, one strap, one narrow shoulders (forget what those are called), and, one with the sleeves as originally on the shirt. I imagine this would work with using other fabric shrts, too - hopefully get them in fabric which doesn't fray too much, though. TYSM for sharing this technique with us. 😉
Yayyy! Sounds like a whole new dress wardrobe. I love it!
@@BlueprintDIY That it does. 😉😻👍
I’m soooo happy that you came up on my feed today! I love your creativity and awesomeness 🥰✌️
Thanks so much! 🫶🏾
You are the most creative person I have ever seen! Thank you.
Thank you 💕
awesome process, thank you for sharing 🙏🏽
I love this. Summer lounging sundresses
You’ve done it again! Dress is fabulous
OMG this is so stinking cute and no machine sewing!!!!
Fabulous! I love it! And I love t-shirt dresses, so comfortable! Thanks! ❤
I'll never walk past another t-shirt in the thrift shop again. Thank you!
You look so beautiful in your creation!! I absolutely love this dress! It's so versatile!
Thanks so much! 🥰
LOL Do that with MATH! I love it when my students ask "When will I ever use this in real life?"
I know right 😆
I love 💕 you and your videos 🙂 l was given a skirt made just like this and hadn't seen till now that it was even possible to replicate it.. it is my most comfortable skirt and l since l don't have money to afford new clothes and l like the one l have this is a great solution! Thank you for being a wonderful teacher ❤️❤️❤️🥰
This is a game changer!!! I need this in my life
Oh my goodness!!! This dress is so pretty!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE how creative & talented you are!!! Thanks so much for sharing!!! Blessings & Hugs!!!
Thank you 💕
THANK YOU! perfect timing, wanted to make a cool dress out if a tshirt i didnt care for but love the print.
so clever!! 🎉 And great way to use up t-shirts vs. adding to landfill! LOVE it!
Thank you 💕
I loved this video and I've just recently found your channel😎 however, if possible, could you consider adding in, doing these same upcycles but with a swing machine/hand sewing? Just curious... Have a wonderful day and thank you for adding in the plus size community also😉 greatly appreciated
I’ve been designing my own clothes since I was 12 years old, I’m now 52 I never thought about cycling clothes. I love this dress!
Oh my gosh! You’re going to love it!
Wow! That was gorgeous 🥰 I loved it!! Thanks for sharing with us!!! 🥰 God bless and stay safe 🙏🙏😘
You are Awesome! So much fun to watch and fantastic idea's...that are totally do able! No matter what sewing experience or equipment you have! Thank you...thank you with a big hug!
Yayyy, I’m so glad it was helpful!
Absolutely BRILLIANT!!!! Thanks again, Ms. Smartie!!! xxoo
Thank you 💕
Amazing!! Love the pink skirt and top and the fuchsia halter❤
This is freaking cool! Angelina, you keep serving the no sew goodness and my hands are starting it itch for the scissors. But you know I still got that doubt still sitting on one shoulder. This dress looks marvelous on you. Could you answer why did you go for the seamless t-shirts? The colors you pick was just perfect and the options of the way to wear it, I lost count. The sundress came out excellent and I love the swing to it. Heihei (sound like Hey Hey) is the name of the crazy rooster is from Moana. He such my spirit vibe. lol Thanks for sharing and blessing to you and all in the days to come
Thanks Denise! I went for the seamless shirts so I didn’t have to worry about where those seams would fall on the dress.
I cut strips for fringe, in arms & bottoms. And Tie some knots as desired to the fringe or make diamond pattern alternating knots.
THIS IS AMAZING!!! I'm a total sundress girl too, and get this - Goodwill sent me a coupon that I can use today only! Guess who's going thrifting!!!!
Yayyy! 🙌🏾 Happy thrifting!
Majorly cute comfort wear..I love it. Looks fun to make too.👍
I will be making mine hopefully this weekend. Thank you for this inspiration.
Yayyy!
Love love love gonna make one for my wife!!!! Yahhhhh great idea thanks
Love this, wonder if a 3/4 sleeve could be another option on the top till jiggly arms get firmed up and tanned. Going to your next video. Cutting tea shirt material is an art. Thank you again, I am so exited,
peace, by.
Hei Hei. My favourite character 😊
I loved this video. I was looking for something to get my granddaughters into this summer to get them interested in sewing and I think this is going to be it. Thank you so much. I have been sewing since I was a kid and still think I have to have a pattern for things. You are helping me to break out of my pre-conceived constraints. Blessings
Yayyy! Happy upcycling summer with your prescious grand-daughters!
That turned out awesome 👌 I think I would use bonding strips just to see how it comes out
If you wanted to keep the graphics for whatever reasons, you could make them into one of those Tshirt quilts, or turn them into patches for jeans or jean jackets or tote bags. The sleeves or any other left over scraps could be used in your hair for rag curls!
Yes, no waste!
My Saturday is now made 🙌🏼 thanks ms Angie 😊
I love it!!! Love the colors 💚💙💚💛💚 super cute. Now it just needs pockets 😄😘❤❤❤
Yes, absolutely!
OMG!! this is genius!!! I love this!! thank you for this video. I have so many tees I no longer where I can play with. I really appreciate this!!
Yayyy!
OMG I love it comfort is beauty these days
Beautiful and easy to follow. 🥰
