Every time I make something, I think about how grateful I am to my mother and her mother (my Nanna) for teaching me how to sew. I don't even want to think about how much money I've saved over the years by making my own clothes, or altering clothes I already own to make it fit better or make something entirely new with it.
@@Gafa996Gaddisa oh same. My mom always said she would teach me, but she never has. We have step one accomplished, which is acquiring the machine, hopefully videos like these will aid us in the rest.
Thanks for 10 years of learning how to sew and sharing that with you all! Some of you might not know, but I'm a combination of raised by a sewing mom and self-taught since moving out on my own. Successfully making something that I love without a guidebook gives me immense satisfaction, and I hope this channel can be an encouragement to you on trying new skills and witnessing how you grow! Sending you all my love this holiday season as we wrap up 2019
you and your vids are such amazing inspiration - love the calm, instructive, satisfying feeling, love the projects and i feel much more brave to try on things myself (which i've been secretly wanting for so many years) thank you and happy new year
I was just thinking: "two thousand dollar coat from a $13 blanket PLUS HOURS AND HOURS OF WORK" 🤣 but then for you to say that you're basically self taught, well that just blows my mind! You can be rediculously proud 😊😊😊
Thanks to people like you, coolirpa, and annika Victoria, I have started sewing. I've made a dress, a shirt, a skirt, a pair of shorts, too many pillows for my own good, and much more. Thank you for helping me on my sewing adventure
Lol SAME! I was so hyped to sew when I got my sewing machine I actually made my own prom dress for high school using Wendy's video of her making a gala dress in a single day 😄
By any chance do you know any guys that do these kind of things? I never seem to find any! I keep binging the girls, but would love to sew some for myself
Sewing has taught me so much about thrifting. I can recognize good construction and natural materials now more readily since I started sewing so regularly. Binding every seam with bias tape is very couture. I'm so impressed that you unpicked all that quilting to make the bias tape! Feels like thrifting and sewing is the way outta the fast fashion mess we all find the world in right now. You're the best Wendy!
So true....im studying fashion right now and im amazed how simply things could be done.... meanwhile we in school really complicate things 🤦🏻♀️💔 and can't do a step without going back to construction papers...pattern papers...measurements...etc
@@safaalani6209 so do i, all of those constructions were spinning in my head everytime and makes me wanna die, but when i saw this girl sewing in happiness and fun... Like girl damnnn
@@safaalani6209 same. I went to fashion school and hated sewing so much because it made things so hard for me. For some reason they want us to learn everything the hard way, even the machines at my school were manual paddle ones and it all killed my creativity. I was just focused on hard work and not my creative skills. Thankfully after that I have had the chance to channel my creative side, now with these UA-cam videos I can also get to sewing more. ❤️
Way back when.... at least 50 years ago, in 'needlework' class at school, I was taught that when you make your own bias binding, you cut the ends at a 45° angle. This way when you sew them together they aren't thick in one spot, if you know what I mean. I took needlework for 3 years which I seldom use, but is helpful when I need to sew a button, or hem things!!!
I really wish they still offered a needlework class in high school the closest I got was home ec, they taught me how to sew a blouse from a easy Simplicity pattern. And that was the end of my sewing career. 😔
@@ilovejacklondon u have to sew right sides together so that the stitches are hid underneath touching yr naked body but in this case she sew wrong sides together so that she could sew the bias tape on and make it look neat
I love you Wendy! You've uplifted a poor day for me so much with your lovely videos and sweet personality. Thank you for sharing yourself and your interests with us!
Thanks so much Asha, it means a lot to me! The end of the year can come with difficult emotions with all the holiday energy, hopes and expectations. Comments like yours often uplift me on my own poor days, so I appreciate your kind words a lot :)
What a pleasure to watch you sew a couture garment from a blanket. When you sew, you can wear styles that others cannot afford. Been doing it for 55 years myself, and am so happy to see young women taking up the challenge.
What a lovely job you have done! You inspired me to to document my own sewing journey. Coincidentally, I just made a $2000 Lindsey Thornburg inspired cloak yesterday! I truly understand the workload behind this video and you nailed it! Happy Holidays!
You are missing ths principal of the whole thing. Even if with tax and labor the cost came to $300, she made a beautiful piece that someone else would or could paid $2000. Don't be so negative about her experience, knowledge and courage to make something out of nothing. What have you made lately???
@@margaritaherrera9151 i don't think sara was trying to be negative, just realistic. the elastic and satin would've made this project more expensive than 13 dollars is all.
What a breath of fresh air you are. No annoying, long-winded, obligatory UA-camr intro, with clapping and wringing of hands and the completely over used cliché of, "with that being said, let's jump right into it". Excellent sewing too btw 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Just beautiful Wendy, I am so proud of you and you are doing such an amazing job at recreating beautiful works of art in fabric. Yes, be proud of yourself as you are worth it. Love you and your work.
You are so inspiring! Love your coat and as you are I have taught myself to sew by just trying things myself. It doesn't matter if you are self-taught or formally trained at anything, you always improve by just doing it! Always looking forward to your videos!
OMG! what a lot of work, but I love the end result, my goodness Wendy you are amazing! Thanks so much for all of your hard work, I really enjoy your videos, I have been sewing for a lot of years and haven't done that much lately, but use to make my children's clothes when they were little, but they are all grown up now, and now my daughter sews for herself and my grandkids, something she picked up from me. I have also sewn quilts and blankets and purses, wall hangings, pillows and so many other fun things. Thanks again.
Love your content! Congrats on your 10 years and your sewing accomplishments! I was also taught sewing by my mother! I do use patterns but have also figured out and taught myself adaptations on my own! I made a Steampunk overcoat for son when he was 11 having to go off a mans size pattern. I figured out how to size the pattern down by using my sons measurements. It is on of my best sewing accomplishments! Thank you for giving me inspiration!
As a child I was taught to take old cloths apart and use as patterns for pants,teas, and jackets. Love to sew and create!!! Love your creative ideas!!!
I want that coat so bad, but I saw that I don't have the skill to achieve the look and was like "cop out and buy it???" and felt so dumb after rereading the title. I love these videos/your channel. Thrifting and sustainable fashion are so beautiful and I hope sewing gets the same boom. It makes for personal and one of a kind pieces. Absolutely admirable
SO FLUFFY! just a few quick tips, when you join bias tape do it on a diagonal so the bulk of the seam is staggered and not just one big bump to sew over (there are lots of tutorials on joining bias). Also: for diagonal/curved necklines if you stay stitch (straight stitch a line of normal size stitches close to the neckline edge right after you cut it out} you won't get the wobble/stretching that makes it not lie flat. I might need to make one of these coats now!
Your tutorials are inspiring, I particularly like the high fashion DIYs from second hand items, however my sewing skills are not at the haute couture level but I’m definitely going to give the bow scrunchy you’re wearing a go !
I just started learning to sew, and your statement at the end was encouraging. I haven't tried making any clothes, just a tote bag, wallet, machine cover, but the thought of making clothes is so exciting! Sewing seems easy, just laborious.
Wendy, you are hilarious. Love your personality (can tell it's genuine!) and watching your creativity and even your struggles because it encourages me to do things I can't currently do... Yay!
I love your ideas. 🥰 Thank you for your help understanding the best why to line things up. I haven’t sown anything in 40 years but you make me want to start back up.Thank you for sharing.
The coat doesn't speak to me but what a journey! I appreciate how you showed your notes, how you broke the picture down into parts and used something you had that was similar in volume/bulk/material type and how you went about the construction; even the mistakes were part of it and that's brave! It's comforting to know that even long-time makers who make a mistake, are willing to show that it can be fixed and here's a way to fix it or make it work.
I LOVE that, fellow Canadian! I really like, and enjoy That style. I appreciate watching your uploads, as they help support my learning and feeling at ease that I can do this kind of thing too. The coat is beautiful.
OMG Wendy you are so adorably sweet and the little talk at the end, so good girl humble. Just for that I really want to be your friend and since I don’t know how to sew but have always wanted to be able to make my own clothing. Your talk at the end encouraged me that I to can learn to sew. And get to your level so needless to say I SUBSCRIBED. Wendy I’am so excited to learn to sew and make all those designs I have scribbled down in my inspiration journal.... 💕
Man I remember the first video I watched of yours was how to make a circle skirt. I think it was like 5 years ago at this point. I’m so happy on all of your success over the years. I watch everyone of your videos, even though I don’t comment much lol can’t wait till you hit 1 million subs next year. You deserve it.
Goodness gracious girl, what a huge sewing task!! But as always you did an amazing job. My brain would never have been able to figure that all out. Gorgeous coat for sure!!!
Beautifully done!!! And very inspiring!! I will be joining you in making that jacket, i think! It's gorgeous!!! Thank you for turning me onto a new designer. I was GOING to go to college for fashion design. Got into several of the biggest and the best schools back in the day, just couldn't get the money together to go. Channels like yours bring back that fire and passion that was once so bright. THANK YOU!!!
I’m so admire the way you put so much effort on your video, can’t imagine how long it take behind the scene. All your diy result look so professional for the last few years 💯🤟🏼 Also, can’t stop looking at your hair in this video, you look so good. A hair tutorial maybe? Love your video and your personality as always. Merry christmas Wendy:D 🎄
Easily my favourite video of yours, thank you so much for sharing and congratulations on such a beautiful coat!! Also, your nails make this tutorial like 40000000x better hehe
WENDY OMG YES YOU HAVE COME SO FAR IT'S SO PRETTY. Thanks for teaching me to how to hem jeans! and making skinny jeans! i still reference those videos. You inspire me so much! I may not try all of the tutorials you post, but I still feel like I am not scared to try something because you give me confidence, and knowing you fight with the machine also helps motivate me lol. Thanks for being great! Love you!
This is such a fun silhouette! How warm is it? Wear it with long matching gloves! To join shorter sections of bias tape, sew it along the grain - i.e. bias to the bias. Less puckering and it distributes the thickness of the seam over a longer area so it looks smoother.
Your voice and demeanor are incredibly relaxing. I don't mean this offensively, your content is by no means boring, but I could fall asleep to you just talking. 😂 You're so talented. I hope to be as skilled some day! Great video! Merry Christmas!
I never realised how hard Cecilie Bahnsen is to pronounce for non-Scandinavians lol. Anyways I love love love this!!!! Your soft voice, the Bahnsen design, your down to earth but very knowledgeable and inspiring approach 🥰
withwendy you are quite close!! I think it’s because you say ce-ci-le and not ce-ci-li-e 💌✨and I just want to say that it doesn’t matter at all when you’ve obviously done your homework - if someone just showed me your finished garment I would assume it was a Bahnsen original. And your visual pedagogy around pretty complex projects is really admirable as well, thank you for making the videos you make!! I know it’s hard to be in both the creative process of the thing itself and then also the documentation of said thing, you pull it off seamlessly (pun intended) :-) I’ll stop gushing now lol
Can't believe it as been 10 yrs ! Thank you for sharing & inspiring my sewing, a safe & merry Christmas to you & I enjoyed seeing your winter snow, here in Australia it is HOT!! a real case of how the other half live, Cheers Cheryl.
That is a beautiful coat! It would make a great bridal and/or attendant accessory for a winter wedding. Maybe also include a white sherpa scarf trimmed with some glittery lace?
I know this is 11 months old, but it's just amazing! And Relevant again since it's cold again! I'm just watching all of your videos while I'm working on a quilt (haven't branched into sewing garments yet but maybe you'll give me the confidence...some day...)
This is nice. Good job. When making your own bias, it’s best to join separate pieces at an angled versus straight across like you did in the end. It will make the bias tape sit more nicely. This is still very good for your first attempt at binding
Thank you😊👏👏👏👏 Lovely coat! You can, and should be, proud! I am pretty much self taught myself. It is a journey, but really fun! Experience and having a go at things, are the key. Specially the latter😅😂. Most often it goes ok. And trying and failing, using the head on troubleshooting, is essential. Good for you, girl. Keep it comming. Greetings from Norway 🇳🇴
A really good time saving way to rip seams out is to use a razor blade. The regular rectangular kind that go in a safety razor. You basically just touch it to the threads and they cut, it's amazing. So much faster than a seam ripper! Love the jacket.
Yesssssss! I'm soooo excited you did this because I have also pinned this coat and thrifted a blanket in deep blue-green satin-finish to make it. Not sure it will look as fab as your bound edges... But thrilled for this video!

Yes for some.
For me sewing is difficult like Rocket science
My sewing machine is as new as l bought it with its own package 📦 never
Use it

omg what machine was that HP thing in the intro?! i really need one, can someone help me pls
Looks like traditional Korean clothing. Very cute and modern.
A few of my friends said that too!! I didn't anticipate how much it would look like a hanbok when I started hahaha
I said a similar thing 생활 한복!
That's what I thought too! It looks like a hanbok!
That's the 1st thing I thought of! lol It's just beautiful & I'm in awe of your natural talent. Such an amazing gift to have!
That's what I thought too!!

Lol SAME! I was so hyped to sew when I got my sewing machine I actually made my own prom dress for high school using Wendy's video of her making a gala dress in a single day 😄

I don’t understand thisssss

Or thrift flip ASMR... basically just do the same thing but keep in the original sounds of the sewing machine and rustling fabric
I think she has a voiceover for this video repeating what she said in The original filming

what do you mean this masterpiece was 13 dollars??? like in 13 moneys???? 13 dollarinos???????????? 13 coins of a dollar????????
Sara Shepard exactly
i wish that was included
Also 13$ for that blanket seems like a really good price
dollarinos XD
You are missing ths principal of the whole thing. Even if with tax and labor the cost came to $300, she made a beautiful piece that someone else would or could paid $2000.
Don't be so negative about her experience, knowledge and courage to make something out of nothing.
What have you made lately???
@@margaritaherrera9151 i don't think sara was trying to be negative, just realistic. the elastic and satin would've made this project more expensive than 13 dollars is all.
I really want to see you wear this with elbow length gloves, thigh high boots, and that poofy dress underneath.
The bias tape making brings back nightmares from fashion class. For me, bias tape makers was a game-changer and sped up my work process. Keep it up!
If I had to go through that I’d sell it for $2000 too

I am going to make this coat on my channel but without all the bias binding put all the seams inside I love this style thanks for sharing
oh shit i LOVE cecilie bahnsen!
Your voice and demeanor are incredibly relaxing. I don't mean this offensively, your content is by no means boring, but I could fall asleep to you just talking. 😂 You're so talented. I hope to be as skilled some day! Great video! Merry Christmas!
So clever!!! Really enjoyed this, now want to go and make one for myself! X
Now we know why the original cost $2000 ... that is a LOT of work! You're great at it.
I never realised how hard Cecilie Bahnsen is to pronounce for non-Scandinavians lol. Anyways I love love love this!!!! Your soft voice, the Bahnsen design, your down to earth but very knowledgeable and inspiring approach 🥰
I even practised by stalking her interviews and speeches beforehand 😭
withwendy you are quite close!! I think it’s because you say ce-ci-le and not ce-ci-li-e 💌✨and I just want to say that it doesn’t matter at all when you’ve obviously done your homework - if someone just showed me your finished garment I would assume it was a Bahnsen original. And your visual pedagogy around pretty complex projects is really admirable as well, thank you for making the videos you make!! I know it’s hard to be in both the creative process of the thing itself and then also the documentation of said thing, you pull it off seamlessly (pun intended) :-) I’ll stop gushing now lol
You’re so so sweet, thank you 🥰
Can't believe it as been 10 yrs ! Thank you for sharing & inspiring my sewing, a safe & merry Christmas to you & I enjoyed seeing your winter snow, here in Australia it is HOT!! a real case of how the other half live, Cheers Cheryl.
That is a beautiful coat! It would make a great bridal and/or attendant accessory for a winter wedding. Maybe also include a white sherpa scarf trimmed with some glittery lace?
I love that you write your to dos on the mirror bc now I know I’m not the only one!!!
This was such a dope project, it looks like a traditional Korean dress! How neat!
I know this is 11 months old, but it's just amazing! And Relevant again since it's cold again! I'm just watching all of your videos while I'm working on a quilt (haven't branched into sewing garments yet but maybe you'll give me the confidence...some day...)
This is nice. Good job. When making your own bias, it’s best to join separate pieces at an angled versus straight across like you did in the end. It will make the bias tape sit more nicely. This is still very good for your first attempt at binding
You always surprise me in a great way, thanks for your videos Wendy
I love your channel Wendy! Thankyou!! (also 1000% yes to elbow-length gloves!)
Wendy, pockets are sewn to both side and sewn together with the sides. Much easier 😉 love your idea 😘
Thank you😊👏👏👏👏
Lovely coat! You can, and should be, proud!
I am pretty much self taught myself. It is a journey, but really fun! Experience and having a go at things, are the key. Specially the latter😅😂.
Most often it goes ok. And trying and failing, using the head on troubleshooting, is essential. Good for you, girl. Keep it comming.
Greetings from Norway 🇳🇴
Wow. I'm so glad you got your coat. It looks nice on you.
That is beautiful!!!!!!! Great job. You did amazing! I love this jacket!
What a beautiful coat! Love that it was a blanket. So much talent 😍
A really good time saving way to rip seams out is to use a razor blade. The regular rectangular kind that go in a safety razor. You basically just touch it to the threads and they cut, it's amazing. So much faster than a seam ripper! Love the jacket.
You are so incredibly talented! Can't believe you're self-taught!
Lol GOOODBYYYYE!
YES, celebrate your successes! I truly enjoy watching and learning from/ with you!🥰
You’re amazing, Wendy!! Please make another video of this coat if you plan to create it with other color. Thank you for your educational contribution.
Yesssssss! I'm soooo excited you did this because I have also pinned this coat and thrifted a blanket in deep blue-green satin-finish to make it. Not sure it will look as fab as your bound edges... But thrilled for this video!
