How to Turn a Plain Skirt into A Romantic Layered Maxi Skirt
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 чер 2023
- Thrifted skirt, turned into a lovely romantic layered piece of wearable art! This is a rare step by step tutorial showing you how to create a beautiful altered couture skirt, and I did it all on a dime! I start with a thrifted skirt and show you how to build luscious layers with clothing remnants, lace, tablecloths, fringe, fabric flowers, sequins and more. Then...we dye it a beautiful light blue color with Kentucky sky Dyemore fabric dye. Create your own pieces of wearable art (I have tons of tutorials) to wear, give as gifts or sell like I did. Most of all have fun and don't take it to seriously!

You have so much talent, but you have a real GIFT for teaching. You’re so thorough in explaining your process, and you never skip a step, making it easy for us to understand and be able to do it ourselves. Thank you so much for being willing to share all of your ‘tricks’ with us. A lot of people wouldn’t. You have a very giving heart. You are a TREASURE TROVE of knowledge! ❤
Thank you so so much for the kind words, I appreciate that more than you know!🤗💕💕💕💕💕💕
Thank you for teaching s .Enjoy all the different things you mad they are Beautiful
Aww thank you so much 🤗💕💕💕💕💕
she said it all!
🤗💖💖💖💖
I want to thank you for allowing us to see when you change your mind, such as when you decided to cut your skirt shorter because you wanted the lace ruffle a little higher. I appreciate you showing us how you make decisions and changes as you go along working on your projects. I often begin with an idea, then add or change something. I thought that perhaps I did not plan well enough. But, you have shown me that, being able to add or subtract from my project is just part of the process and not a defect! Thank you! ❤️
Absolutely! It's all part of the process. When I sold my items, I had the voice in the back of my head saying, "never let them see you sweat." Well, now that I'm doing tutorials, the truth is out..I sweat sometimes lol! Thank you so much for your kind words, my friend.🤗💕💕💕
Yes, so true!!! That is one of my favorite things about her videos... 🙂
The skirt is breathtaking! Thank you for taking your time to make such a detailed tutorial for us!
Aww my pleasure! Thank you so much for watching and reaching out!🤗💕💕💕💕
Tracy's a wonderful teacher
Aww thank you so much 🤗💞💞💞💞💞💞
Wow! That skirt is amazing! Thank you for showing the whole process. You are very creative! I can’t wait to try some of these techniques. ☺️
She is

💕💕💕💕🤗🤗🤗🤗
I so love your tutorials, you are literally the only person I've found that give such clear and easy to follow instructions. This is my favourite make of yours so far - it's stunning!
Thank you so so much!🤗🤗🤗🤗💗
I LOVE that you show your mistakes and show that it's not an exact science, like "normal" people!!! Thank you!!
Aww thank you so much 🤗💞💞💞
I love how the blue took to the fabric at different tones & how unique your boho skirt looks ❤
Thank you so much 🤗💕💕💕💕
I made something like that with extra lace and fabric flowers I made. I get lots of compliments and I tell them about your channel.
I appreciate that so much! Thank you 🤗😘💞💞💞
I always wanted to make my own clothes and with your creativity plus your gift of your teaching I'm on my way. Gratefully 😊❤🎉
I'm so glad! Have fun and enjoy!!!🤗💞💞💞💞
I'm speechless too, OMG you are amazing
Awww! Thank you so much!🤗💖💖💖💖
A genuine and unique tutorial, 'tmyers handmade' videos are packed with so much knowledge that no matter how skilled a sewer/crafter you are, it would be impossible to walk away at the end of one w/out having learned at least a trick...Lol... or five!
The creator of 'tmyers handmade' videos (and short clips) is Tracy Myers, a wonderfully articulate artist and gifted teacher. I've been following Tracy on UA-cam for awhile now, but clearly remember my initial impression was that Tracy is someone who radiates creativity, and has likely been making art since she was old enough to hold a paint pallet or thread a sewing needle. After watching several of her videos, I pondered their paradoxical effect on me: on the one hand, Tracy's passion for one-of-a-kind design, fashion, and styling is extremely contagious, and her videos are an effervescent mixture of vivacious enthusiasm. But wait, "effervescent mixture of vivacious enthusiasm"...Lol...sounds a little hyper, or a bit exhausting though doesn't it?
Well, hence lies the paradox I mentioned. When it comes to sharing her passion for creating, Tracy wears her heart on her sleeve as she lovingly reminds us during ea presentation that perfection is definitely Not the goal - but neither is simply copying Tracy verbatim. The underlying vibe is that "Fun"..."Joy"...and, "Creating" are not Just permissible in her videos, they're part of who we are as humans. Tracy inadvertently gives us permission to cultivated creativity - that (often neglected) part of ourselves...by gently taking the viewer's hand and leading us...back to ourselves.
Thank you so much 🤗💖💖💖💖💖
Oh my gosh I love this so much. I was hoping you would do layered ruffles video. I am so doing this. Beautiful work as always!
Thank you so so much!!💞💞💞💞💞💞
Sometimes AI ain't so bad because it brought me to you this morning. I just got done recycling a lampshade my young cat used as a molar teething ring!!! So glad to find you. What struck me right away was your delightful no nonsense delivery and demeanor. Thanx so much, you are a pro!
Aww thank you so much!! Funny about your kitty, I have a couch I need to upcycle because my kitties use it as a scratching post lol🤗💞💞💞💞

🥰🥰🥰
That shade of blue is so dreamy!
Thank you!🤗😘💞
❤Absolutely beautiful love how the skirt turns out
I love this skirt! This will go to my Traci Inspired Project List! Just this week I was gifted lotsssss of Laced curtains & doilies from a neighbor that moved out of state! I’m now busy sorting and washing them so I can start my projects. I will definitely share it here one day and mention my amazing Teacher Traci! 🤗💖💖💖
You are so lucky!!!!Have fun with all your new found treasures!!!🤗😘💞💞💞💞
Tracy this skirt is gorgeous, romantic, one of a kind…beautiful. Love the skirt, love your teaching style. Have some great ideas thanks to you. Fun! Fun! Fun! Many thanks.
Thank you so so much!!💞💞💞💞
That blue dress you're wearing is gorgeous
Thank you so much!!🤗💕💕💕💕
Tracey: you are such an inspiration for me! I have begun to make messenger bags & purses because of your wonderful teaching techniques! I want to thank you for helping those of us who absolutely love what you do! ❤
Awww love you! It's truly my pleasure, thank YOU so much for watching!🤗💞💞💞💞
I love this skirt. The dying is perfect with light and dark color. Such talent in all your creations.
Thank you so so much 🤗💗💗💗💗💗
Wonderful creation, Traci! ❤️ You know before watching your channel, I saw clothes like this on eBay and was amazed by the prices! Now I understand all the work that goes in.
Thank you so much! Yes, they take some work🤗💞💞💞
Stunning! I wonder if, one of these days, you will do something similar for plus-sized ladies (like me). I feel it's harder for this type of garment to look good on bigger bodies so I'd love some coaching on how to achieve that.
When I sold, I made mostly XL-4X in this exact style and I always sold out. 🤗💞💞💞
What an amazing video!!! I'm so grateful that you are sharing your wisdom and experience in these videos. They are unbelievably helpful. Thanks again.
Aww thank you so much 🤗🤗🤗💞
WOWSERS how cool is this skirt. Love it 💕 As a crafter I barely throw anything away as I can always repurpose . You just added a whole new level of ideas. Thank you 😍
Aww thank you so much!💞💞💞💞
Greetings from New Zealand. Beautiful skirt! Rather than cutting off and re-sewing the triangles section, you could always just add a tuck (or two) in the sheer skirt. That is what what we do in heirloom sewing when we want to shorten a skirt or sleeves. Love your videos, you do very creative work. And wonderful that you are willing to teach others. Adored the squirrel casually hopping across the path out the window, lol. Cheers.
Thank you so much for the tip!!!🤗💞💞💞💞
These things "work out" for you because YOU are ANOINTED to do what you're doing. You are using gifts God gave you to bless others. You are a blessed and rewarded servant and you are THE BEST example of how incredible God can work through His faithful and grateful servants!
🙌🏽🙌🏾🙌🏼🙌🏿🙌🏻
You're a blessing

Aww you are incredibly sweet, thank you so much🤗💗💗💗💗💗
Oh my goodness I just saw your video on you having painted your sewing table and I just about cried. We think alike 😂
Aww I appreciate that so much 🤗🤗🤗🤗💞
I bought a similar skirt - although not as ornate - from Garnet Hill. I love it but wanted to make one. My head nearly exploded trying to figure out how to do it. I gave up. I couldn’t believe my luck running into your tutorial! I cannot wait to do this. The skirt is exquisite. You also explain every step & left nothing out which I so appreciate. No wonder these are so expensive!! You are a very good and creative seamstress! I am considering using some liquid seam binding, depending upon the fabric and how it takes, to possibly save some sewing time. We’ll see. Thank you for sharing this!! ❤️🇺🇸
Aww thank you so so much 🤗😘💕💕💕💕
I love, love, love this!!
Thank you!!!!💞💞💞💞💞
Our Dear Ms. Myers: Wonderful!! Thank you so much for showing us the post-dryer/trim/clean-up portion of the process, and especially for the extended and closer up after-shots. What a great channel you have! 😊
Thank you so much! 🥰💞💞💞
The skirt is amazing. What an imagination you have.
Thank you so much!!!🤗💞💞💞
Thankyou for bringing to my attention about electric scissors. As well as Boho creativity again. It's been a great help. 😊
Aww my pleasure, thank YOU so much for watching!🤗💞💗💕💖
You opened up a whole new world of possibilities - I LOVE your work, your talent, your tutorial and your generosity in sharing. Blessings and love from Canada

I've been wanting to make a skirt like this for a while, thank you for this well made tutorial. I admire your work!
Thank you so much!🤗💞💞💞💞
Beautiful work ❤
Thank you so much 💗💗💗💗💗💗
Just a tip when sewing seed beads and sequences is on the back do two locking stitches before doing the next one, do a locking stitch then add the sequence and seed bead then lock them in place. What this does is if one does come undone then the rest won’t come off as well.
The skirt came out stunning a very shabby sheik look for sure.🤗🤗
Wonderful tip! Thank you so much for sharing!🤗🤗🤗🤗💕
Super cute. I have a friend who got married in a dress that was made from vintage lace table cloths. Very Boho but it was beautiful and totally fit her long blonde wavy hair and her beautiful smile. ❤ I’m a self taught sewer and I like how you sew like me. But way better. Love your channel glad I found you. Looking forward to more awesome videos. Thank you ❤
stunning, love your work xx
Thank you so much!🤗🤗💞💞💞💞
You could start a 2nd channel sharing how you get all your different and cute hairstyles which is an art as well 🥰
Awww thank you!!!🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Not related to this video but with your inspiration i bought a large men's leather jacket at Goodwill (sale $10!). Washed and dried-worked great. Now i have to use it😊. I'm going to search your channel for a leather bag. I've seen you use lots of leather fringes that look SO VERY fun!
Yaay for you! Have fun!!! 🤗💞💞💞
Again, another demonstration of your unmatched talent for being artistic and a fantastic teacher ...and your extremely beautiful spirit. Your fiancé must be a very special guy and he is lucky to have such a dynamic person in his life! The best to both of you (also, I love ❤❤❤ your ring).
Aww that is the sweetest, thank you so much. 🤗💞💞💞💞

Thank you for your careful instruction, yet you moved the instructions along quickly. The finished skirt is exquisite and certainly one of a kind. I would be so proud to wear this skirt. I have started collecting a few items to use . I’m thinking that dying the skirt red would be fun and very much for the holiday season .Later it could be for the Valentine’s season.
Thank you so much! Have fun!!🤗💞💞💞💞
Fairycore aesthetic ✨️ 🧚🏼♀️ I love it! You're truly an artist 🩷

Thank you! 😊
Wow!! Now if I would have had a sewing teacher like you in high school, I'd have been sewing up a storm!! Absolutely Fantabulous pieces that you make. Thanks for sharing your Absolutely wonderful work.
Hmm, I have so many old vintage clothes in tubs that I hesitate to throw anything out due to how they come back around in style. But, I also have some of my mums old clothes and have been trying to figure out how to use her clothes so that I can keep them but have a piece of her with me.
I love the idea of creating upcycles with sentiment 🤗💕💕💕💕
I just love this skirt, Tracy! The whole outfit is adorable ~love the powder blue in varied shades, and THE 🌹❤
Thank you so much for sharing your ingenuity with us, helping us all to just play with the materials like you do! So inspiring!🙏
Awww I appreciate that so much 🤗💓💓💓💓
Unbelievably beautiful
Thank you so much!🤗😘💞💞💞💞
Traci, this is one gorgeous skirt. I have recently been working on using thrifted clothes to make my youngest granddaughters clothes that are cost effective for me to do for them as gifts, as my husband and myself are missionaries, in our 70's and on a very limited budget. Thank you for giving me more wonderful ideas. I have subscribed and look forward to watching your past and upcoming videos. I am so glad I found you. God bless.
Awww thank you so much!!!🤗💖💖💖💖💖
Just beautiful!
I used to have all kinds of stuff, like you, but eventually had to unload it. I couldn’t keep hoarding it! Now I crochet…and hoard yarn! Haha
I love it! I wish I could crochet!!!😙💞💞💞💞💞
This brings good memories, I had skirt like that it was jeans and lace and all my frinds wanted to borrow it for their special occasions.
🤗💖💖💖💖
First time watching I’ve done sewing all my life I’m 76 I have learned so much Can’t wait to watch you again x❤️

I think I’ve sewn every inch of it with you ❤️ Never enjoyed anything as much for a long time. The Skirt is Amazing Sending you much Love from Lancashire UK x❤️
Aww really!? I love that! Thank you so much 🤗❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The part where you were showing how to measure that lacy part to add at the very bottom was what I needed! 😊
Glad it was helpful!🤗💖💖💖💖
Well, now I have a favorite you tuber!!! Very thoroughly explained, especially the dyeing part. You could have easily just shown us the finished dyed skirt, but no, you took us along for each tiny detail. THANK YOU
Aww thank you so so much!🥰💞💞💞

Good God woman! I couldn't love this skirt anymore if you tortured me in an attempt to squeeze more love out of me!!!
It is absolutely GORGEOUS!!! 😍😍😍
I don't know where you've been hiding but I'm glad I found you. I'm definitely subscribing after this. This was literally incredible.
I think my only suggestion would be to tuck the top into the skirt so it's closer to your body, just to highlight your upper and lower body with more definition.
At the moment the top bagging out makes you look bigger than you are and you've got a nice slim waist.
Plus a sleeker looking top would accentuate the skirt even more, rather than detract from it.
But that's not criticism at all, just my opinion. I'm a kind of "either upper or lower body wow factor" kind of person, you know? Big billowy tops with straight jeans, or simple jersey vest tops with billowy skirts.
But hey, you do you! I think we're approximately the same age, and if I had a dinky lil waist still, I'd be highlighting it. You sure do have a lot going for you!!!
You're very attractive, have a lovely figure, very stylish, artistic and make skirts like this masterpiece! 😮
I can't wait to dive into your other videos now! If your inspiration can help me become even a quarter of looking as put-together as you, I'll be a happy woman! 😘😘😘
Awww you are sooo sweet, thank you!!!🤗💞💞💞💞💞
Heart beating faster!!! OMG, now I have to go back to sewing? OK, I'm sold.
Lol love that!!!!🤗💞💞💞💞
Как я люблю Ваши работы!!!😍
