- Continuing my quest to add some fun to my wardrobe - without breaking my piggy bank or adding to landfill. I time-stamped the video so you can skip through more easily, cos it's a long one! :)

Absolutely fantastic and I love the length, I think it would look great with a close fitting tee or vest top under it. You’re brilliant Annie just brilliant. x 💐
It’s incredible to watch your creativity unfold - very clever lady - and you are looking great, the weight loss is showing - well done!! ❤
Wow wow wow Annie! Another amazing creation from the House of Arty Farty! 💙🧵🪡 cheers, Christine
Annie I think you should apply to the Sewing Bee! A very exciting top! Well done😍💕
Wow Annie!! Another beautifully creative, one of a kind stunning top! 😍👏 just gorgeous and a real transformation. Sewing bee in your future I think!loving these videos so much I can’t tell you how much you’ve inspired me, I’ve been getting things that sadly I no longer fit into and trying to make them wearable again - it’s so therapeutic! Thank you! 🥰xx
BEAUTIFUL! You did an amazing job🥰. Love your choice of fabrics... keeping the blue worked very well. So clever! CONGRATS💕
So lovely and I absolutely agree with your decision to keep the blue fabric running all the way through from top to bottom. Great video thank you ❤
Love batik fabric turned out well
Omg Amazing Annie there is no end to your talents. Thank you for sharing with us 🙂✨
Simply genius!
I like your top very much! You're so creative! Wonderful job done. Thank you for sharing this. I've never done this kind of remaking clothes into something new, but I have used my husband's shirts and silk ties in quilts and slow stitch projects. I find it very satisfactory to give old cloth a new life. 😊
Loved the makeovers…..yes ECLECTIC is perfect…..the batik is striking …..very BOHO vibes….
This is brilliant Annie, another fantastic video ☺☺
That top turned out gorgeous!!! You really have a vision Annie and blue is your colour. Wonderful project , love it!!! ♥️
So beautiful, you are smartest artist ❤ ever
Love the hanky hems looks great on you wow what a lot of work.
Yes its beautiful and creative. The straps you can definitely put on as it will complete the look. I think your body shape is loving and cute, so no diet needed. Thank you for sharing.
How wonderful! Gaby has such talent.
That is so cute!!!! Can't wait for the next one. You are inspiring me to tackle a closet full of makeovers for myself. Just keep being your awesome self. Thanks.
Oh Annie it’s beautiful! You are so clever with amazing foresight ☺️🩷
Thank you so much Jan! 😊That's very kind of you - but honestly, though it may seem that way, in fact I imagine something and then I either get lucky and it turns out just as I imagine, or if not I just go with the flow and make it up as I go along. I'm very happy that you like it, thanks for watching :)
These ideas are fantastic a real inspiring kick on the butt for me to transform stuff I don't wear any more xx
Thanks Jacquie, I'm so happy you like them - I can't stop now I've started and I've got a sneaky side-eye on John's wardrobe as well! I think I'm going to make a whole series of Frankenstein tops, and maybe even tackle some bottoms as well :)
Very cute top. Love all the fabrics. Aww the tie looks wonderful.
That is such a beautiful work. So well done and you look beautiful. It suits you very well. Amazing details. Love it!. Your creativity is amazing!
Your blouse turn out beautiful! I love it!
Wow! Just amazing amount of detail. Very cute 👍
I thought the previous redone top was cute but this one tops (see what I did there?) it. It reminds me of the things Stevie Nicks wore!
This is a super cute top and looks great on you... definitely a good choice for the summer and in the winter you can layer it over a longer line vest top, maybe. Love it!
Thanks for going through your thinking through everything. I've been toying with redoing some of my tops, expanding them in the process, but haven't seen any ideas on making clothes larger. It turned out so cute! Thanks!
Sooo cute❤
You're so clever Annie! So inspired to go and cut up some tops 😅❤❤
Do it Louise, go for it! It's so liberating - if you use old tops and shirts there's nothing to lose. Just jump in and start cutting, don't stress, take your time and have fun with it and please share some pics if you do, I'd love to see! :)
You are soooooooo brave. The top is beautiful ❤
Thank you so much!! I figured I had nothing to lose except a bit of time - hardest bit is that first cut, after that you just go with the flow and see what happens. Thank you for watching, I'm so happy you like it :)
Loved it!
❤ TFS, I love it!
Wow wow wow! You are brave cutting into the clothing! You go girl. Cute cute cute! Stop saying you’re fat please. 😊🤗❤️
Hope you feel better soon too xx
You definitely are a hippy chic. The added ‘bra straps’ will creat a really up to date fashion feature which I’ve seen a lot of lately in the shops.
I agree, you should try for the Sewing Bee, you could wipe the floor with a lot of this seasons contestants, as long as you could make something in double quick time!
Love it😊💕💕
Cute top.
I would just wear a white tank top underneath and enjoy the cute summer top you've created.
You are giving me ideas! I have a blue shirt type blouse, it's gauze material and very pretty. It doesn't fit me anymore though. I've been deciding what to do with it. And I have some blue paisley print yardage, Perhaps I could combine them some way. Yes, I like to remodel clothes too. I have a two piece black and white print dress. The gathered skirt looks awful on me. I',m thinking about adding a tank top in black to the dress skirt, with maybe a nice belt in the middle. Oh boy, so many plans and not enough time. At least it gets us up in the morning, doesn't it?
