This video is like a master class in how clothes look good when they FIT
truth!
I have many items I need to FIT, refit?!
To someone that is learning to sew, this looks like magic.
haha honestly it still looks like magic to me!
That check dress is gorgeous. How I wish I was young and slim again. These styles just look frumpy on me now. When we're younger, we don't realise how precious our 20s are...Enjoy enjoy enjoy your youth, if its within your power.
@@pennybergmen8933 what age are you?
Love it!!! I could watch this kind of content all day! Gets my brain working.
That’s exactly what doing any flips does for me! Just gets my creativity going!
Me Too! 😊 🕊 🕯
These all turned out so well. I love the orange dress I’m so glad you just made it fit better and didn’t transform it because it’s so good. The periwinkle sheer dress reminds me of Florence Welch (love her style) and it was so smart to make the skirt so you still have the option to wear it together as a dress. The vintage collar dress was also darling and now fits you so perfectly!
When possible, please do more videos like this.
👍🏼
She's doing those vids all the time 🤔
@@mone1648really?! Oh my I thought this was a lot of items and I am not a experienced sew 🪡 I guess this is a way to get more confidence. 🎊 I subscribed…/ now to get a better sewing machine.
Love seeing your creativity in action! That plaid dress is so perfect I’m glad you kept the sleeves versatile like that it’s just perfection!
Now that’s it’s my favorite length, I’ll wear it all the time!! I’m glad you enjoyed this video!
I love the plaid dress! Your thrift flips are the best! You've inspired me to to flip some of my own clothes to make them fit me better
thank you!! yes you should absolutely flip some of your clothes! it's such a confidence boost to put on something that fits super well!
I love your videos! I'm in Brazil and I've never shopped in a thrift store, but since I watched your videos I changed my mind! Love you!
This was so intelligent and intentional i really appreciate seeing your thought process and enjoyed this video as a fellow sewer. Can't wait for the next one.
I have been a fan from the day I found you about 2 yrs ago and adore the way you present everything. I am sad to see you go, yet understand that it's really important for us to follow our spirit and after contemplation, do what's best for us at that time. Farewell for not, it's not goodbye, because nothing says you cant toss out a video anytime you want to. I will never be able to do what I've seen you do yet I will try. You can wear ay color, any style, and I've never seen anybody wear clothes like you do. Tank you for your lessons, I want to raid your closet, but will try to follow your videos for the rest of my life and see how we do.
I think it’s so clever and practical the way you approach your flips
thank you!
Yey! It's 11:59 pm here. In our country. A good day to watch something fun! As always.. You rock!
ooo yay! always a good time for a flip video!
Great video! Really enjoyed the little changes that made a big difference. Will be trying some of these tailoring tricks. Really loved the orange trousers and the lilac overlay dress. Actually, I love all your clothes!❤️🙂
That plaid dress is fantastic!
it's such a gorgeous dress!
I love your thrift flips. My favorites here were the orange pants and the last dress.
Absolutely love this! So many useful tips and great ideas! Please do more of these simple DIY clothing transformation videos!! ❤️🥰
Thank you! Im glad you enjoyed it!
Gurl you got skills! All of your pieces fit you so well, i luv all of them...that lavender sheer dress is amazing, the orange trousers too. They all look so good on you. I wish i had your sewing talent and creativity, I'm learning how to sew but its a very slow learning process and i have soo many clothes that need alterations since i lost weight. Thank you for showing us that a little magic with your sewing machine can really make a big difference! This kind of content really has inspired me to do the same! Gracie bella!💖🦋
Loved, loved your updates! I have a pair of great wool plaid pants which is far too big for me. I'm so inspired to use the dart technique you have shown with your jeans!
Love that you used the chopped bit as a belt for the voluminous orange dress... makes me want to get to my alteration pile!
Thank you!
love the golden Grecian dress and the back of the blue dress with the tucks.
thanks!
Your videos are such an inspiration! Thank you! I enjoy your energetic attitude! Laura
Great flips !!! Girl, you know your way around a sewing machine....wish I did😅!!! Hope you have a great weekend !🐕🦮
thank you!! I really only know a few stitches, understanding clothing construction has helped me the most on my sewing journey!
I love watching you go through the steps( good inspo), I have a set of thrifted finds I need to get to as well!
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed!!
Great job. My favorite one was the plaid dress. Everything turned out so well!! I am in awe at the level of sewing skills you have!!
Watched this while altering some red & black plaid pants. Look forward to your Friday videos. The blue dress is so sweet like a maid may have worn years ago. Well done as usual! 👍
yay for videos to watch while doing alterations! i LOVE the blue dress!
I love your videos! You are adorable! I am so inspired to get out some of my thrift store finds that aren't quite right! Thx!
Really enjoy your way of presentation, content and teaching. I’ll be watching more since I just found you. 👩🏼🌾🌸💕
Love the Orange pants and the Blue dress at the end. Good information. Minor changes that make a big difference!
Those are my favorite kinds of changes!
Oh for the jeans and the blue dress I would have just added an elastic in the back, when its just a few inches it looks more natural than the darts or at least it did for the jeans I did the elastic add on : p
You make altering so easy…well, look so easy. On thrifted items, wouldn’t be a huge loss if i cannot make it work. Thanks.
it's super easy and sustainable!
2 dress I love the print and the colors! ❤I’d make it just past to the knee cap and wear a petticoat to give fullness and wear it dancing 💃🏼 twirling!! Thanks for showing; I am going to send it out to universe to find one LIKE this.
The plaid dress was my dream the way it was in the "before"! I love a dress with a LONG skirt! However, it definitely suits you better at the shorter length! 👍
i definitely prefer a shorter length, but love the drama of the long!
Amazing!! Absolutely LOVED this - thank you for sharing 🙏🏻
thank you for sewing with me!
✍ Hello...I'm so glad I found your channel and subscribed. Its been a while since I've been able to do some sewing. I have been sewing since I was about 10 and I'll be 78 next Tuesday. My favorite way of sewing is exactly what I found you doing to older clothes etc.by making something new out of them. I used to cut down clothes and make school clothes for my girls cause they went to a private school and needed nice clothes so this really helped with the budget. I'm also glad to have found you cause the machine I have right now needs to be replaced cause I bent the needle shaft by sewing denim. I notice you use a Singer model 4452 and that you sewed denim with ease so I'm having my daughter take me to buy that same machine. I'm super excited to get sewing again. Keep Sewing !! God Bless Bye from Ohio
With every flip I thought “ that’s my favorite”. I love them all !!
OMG that vintage plaid dress is so goregous, especially after you shortened it! And the blue lace collardress is just a dream, I think I'm in love with it!❤❤❤
EEP! those are my faves from this video! so cute!
You are a genius!! Love what you do! You’ve given me a new way of seeing how to refashion clothes. Thanks!
aww thank you!!
WOW!
Keep up the good work!
thank you!!
Love all of the reimagined pieces!
Thank you!!
Just did this, this morning. So glad I found you today! Looking forward to more. 🌻💛🌻
it feels so good to get that pile of fixes done!
You’re a very clever girl - love vintage- best fabrics and designs……love that beautiful little puppy beagle 🥰
Thanks so much!
These are so fun!! Have you considered using elastic on a section of the back waist line on the pants instead of darts?
They can stretch and adjust over time. My mom did this for some of my pants and it's incredibly!!
You are so clever!! Love your work!! I totally agree Your! Your outfits are sooo cute!
Thank you!!
Yay👋👋
Love to watch your sewing and modeling clothes.
👏👏👏🤟
🧡
LOVE YOUR CLOTHES ❤️ !! 👰♀
THX for having these videos, I am needing to Alter, many pieces of clothing, these are helping!
thank you! oh good i'm glad these videos are helping your alterations!
Such beautiful pieces. The dresses were my favorite. ❤️❤️
Such good dresses!
Great job on all of the pieces, especially the blue dress.
thank you!
Great job! You look amazing in every piece
thank you!
Love your work, love your style!
Excellent job on your upcycles!!!! They look absolutely gorgeous 😍.
Thanks!
Love your ideas! x
So awesome !! You did a fantastic job on every piece 💓👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you so much!! I had a ton of fun fixing these up!
Love it!!
You are very talented!! Adorable!
That purple dress is a wonderful, frilly, princessy, magical dress--love it!
so adorable!
The orange trousers 😍 how cute!
Those are my favorite pants!!
I was curious to see what the back pockets on that first pair of jeans would do. I did the same alteration on some jeans last year, but in my case they were WAY too big. The result was that the pockets stood out like they were going to collect rainwater. I had to take the pockets off completely and sew them down flat.
...maybe sew an inch or two of elastic on the backside center of the pocket and hide the stitching with a decorative patch?
in that case i definitely would have removed them and laid them back flat, but since i was only taking out an inch or two, they didnt stand out too badly at all!
So glad I found you, your creativity is inspiring.
Thank you!! I’m glad you’re here!
Everything looks great, what a difference small adjustments make
Thank you! Agreed!
Just some decent tailoring and WoW ALL THE ITEMS LOOKED GREAT!!
tailoring changes everything!
Used To always let out all seams on top to make room for larger bust. Had tiny seams w double knit and it worked w out ruining the dress lines
Everything turned out beautifully. I am inspired to now fix a couple if problem children
Haha yes! Thank you!
Hi there!
I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL I can really get hooked and promise to try to self-limit when watching! You are so detailed and thorough I get inspired to try my hand!
Ive been all about plaid for the last 2 or 3 years. I had ordered a pair of narrow, ankle length, plaid pants, with a jean-like waist, 4 pockets, etc. The plaid is similar to the red plaid pattern of the dress you have here, but smaller, and just a hint of white.
However.............I ordered what I thought was a women's size 24, but they turned out to be a size 24 INCH waistband........2 VERY different sizes! I loved the fabric, and they weren't expensive, so I kept them. The 24 was too big, but was the only size close, and I was willing to take them in due to their cuteness.
I had also gained weight taking care of my dear, late, 96 yo, mom, and have dropped à couple of sizes. I had always been a size 4 or 6, but took a necessary medication several years ago that caused me to gain weight, and even though there was a lot of physical work taking care of my mom, there was also a lot of sitting around, (and getting by on Twinkies, which unfortunately, I found you can buy in bulk at Costco, conveniently, individually wrapped), so I put on more weight. I was about a size 18.........yikes! BUTT, I didn't get a big one, and I have slim legs. I kind of gained weight everywhere, but more upper-body.
Anyway, I didn't ever expect to have a 24 inch waist like when I was 9, but I'm now at about a 10/12. Much better.
So, I injured both feet.......don't ask. I'm sitting around, again, and started looking through things. I found my Dior, glasses! Ask me how long they were missing? 7 years. LOL! I also ran across the plaid pants.
I'm not what you'd call a .........,,seamstress, but I'm a good engineer, and I wanted to get some use out of those pants. They weren't expensive, so I wasn't really that worried about ruining them.
I was thinking about elastic vents, even lacing up the sides with a solid fabric under, but I decided there was no-way lacing would NOT make me look like a 60 yo former stripper.
I inspected them and have decided to turn them into walking shorts, but that would mean expanding about 4 inches on each side. I will have to extend to upper-thigh, but I have enough fabric using both legs. I'm thinking MAYBE I could KIND of try to match plaid lines, if not, maybe intentionally wonky......Oh! The fabric has a lot of stretch!
Anyway, it will take up some time while I'm recovering. They won't have to win any awards, and I could wear a big t-shirt?.......
Thank you SO much, my dear! I have something to look forward to every day watching your show! I'm NOT back on the Twinkies! I now enjoy low-fat Cheezeits!
Aww I'm so glad you're loving my channel! funny getting sizes mixed up like that! I hope you recover quickly!
The last blue dress I love…… it’s adorable
It’s my new favorite dress!
Love that last dress so much!!
same!!
Loved everything!
thank you!!
You are adorable! I love your attitude and your style.
Thanks!
The plaid dress looks great 😍
If you decide you want to change it up again, it would make a beautiful wide leg jump suit
thank you! it would be such a cute jumpsuit, its just too perfect as a dress!
First time I watched ur video and love it. I wasn't sure about using darts. Now I feel better about it and will implement it. Thanks
aww thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed this video! Darts are my favorite technique to fit my pieces!
I've only just found your videos but you've already inspired me so much! ❤
And that plaid dress, OMG I would love to know what make that is? I need to hunt one of those down!
loved this!
Thank you!
OMG that plaid dress 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Right?? My fave!
I enjoy your tips in bringing vintage clothes up to date. I use to sew but fabric got too expensive. After watching you I want to dust off my sewing machine and sew.
thank you! you should absolutely get back to some sewing, it's such a fun passtime!
i love the dress...........the wholly jeans not so much........i loved the green pants set until you cropped it.....didnt hold the vintage for me,,,,,,,,,super cute orange dress.....i love the sheer skirt and top .....great job on that .........love the orange pants.....omgosh i love the blue dress .....you are so talented loved watching you.....thanks for sharing
thanks for sharing your preferences, but i made these adjustments to fit my style! thanks for watching!
I love the reinventing of the clothes
me too!
You did great !!
Those flips were great! Everything looks so cute and now perfectly fits you! I am going to try a couple of these alterations on a couple of pieces, and THANKS TO YOU!!!!! I now have the basic know-how from watching this video! Thanks Adey!!! Also, I want to try making a dress that is similar to the tiered dresses you have made in the past (But, for me, WITHOUT AN OPEN BACK!!) I do NOT want to spend $20+ on a sewing pattern though! Do you have any suggestions for how I can do this? I have some great thrifted material I want to use. I am imagining a simple fitted top with a square neck line, puffed sleeves, a waist, and a tiered skirt attached to it?! I wear a medium, or size 8 (10 at the largest!).
Wow...great job on the blue dress!!
thank you! i was surprised it turned out so wonderfully haha
@@WellLoved You inspire me to try and do more alterations. I usually just do a few tarts or a hem
Loved it
I always enjoy watching these. You did a really nice job. You could really elevate the jeans by unpicking the pockets and sewing them back on flat.
i thought about doing that but just too much work for me haha
The power of a good fit demostrated
yes and yes, fit changes everything!
Lovely flips! Use the green and plaid offcuts to make matching scrunchies or hair wraps? ☺️
Great idea!
Such a fun video! So interesting.
Thank you!!
Love it 💗
thank you!!
Great video!!
thanks!!
Love your work 🤗
Thank you!!
Really inspired me.
watching all of these now that I found your channel :)
YAY!!
Great transformations!! I'll never try any of these techniques. You make it look easy and intuitive, but i know you have some serious skills, which I don't have. Keep the videos coming.
thank you! they're actually super easy single stitch updates that anyone could easily do with a machine!
@@WellLoved it's knowing WHERE to cut and stitch and HOW MUCH to cut and stitch that takes the skill. But I like watching your process.
Wish I can do this. Amazing...love it.
thank you! and YOU CAN!
Ohh yes those red hot pants 👖 and the last vintage dress 👗 love all you did.
SO cute!! thank you!
So So Cute .. Simply Lovely ❤ ❤
I love the jeans with darts
Thank you!
The green crop top .. the cut portion can be slightly ruffled & attached back to make a peplum top too .. love your flips ❤️
i thought about doing that, and may end up doing it later!
An idea for you to show for measuring for people that cant figure out the measurements is show folding the tape measure 4 times. After you show the original then show how to fold the tape to show the darts.. love your channel. Hope this help all of the fraction disabled..lol
thanks!
You are genius and SO helpful! Just the training I need. It would be so helpful to see all the way down to the floor, please!
thank you!!
I love your bobbinwallhanging rack!
Very practical
I LOVE your plad dress
Such a pretty baby blue dress, so beautyfull on you

Greetz and hugs!
