  • In this upcycling DIY video, we will be upcycling a pre owned jacket and creating a beautiful piece of wearable art. Mine was bought pre owned, maybe you have an old coat or jacket in your closet that needs jazzing up, this is a wonderful way to breathe new life into a tired old garment. This coat is all about the purple! The lovely purple flowers are cut from an old curtain, fusible interfacing is added to them and then they are sewn to the coat...I will show you in great detail, every little step. I have also added, what I call balloon ruffles to the sleeves and hemline. These ruffles are made from thrifted vintage linen. We cut the coat to create a high low design, and cut the sleeves for a vintage looking 3/4 length sleeve and sew the ruffle to it. Such a fun and beautiful project, hope you enjoy!

    25:20 Rather than slipping the sleeve over the sewing machine arm, turn sleeve inside out. Place the area to be appliqued facing up on machine bed under machine needle and sew. All the bulk of the garment is pushed out of the way and you are more able twist the sleeve left and right as needed. This method allows easier maneuverability of sleeve (pant leg, cuff) and works better for me. I hope I explained it clearly 😊💜

    WoW I didn't think I would ever try this but I am going to make it one of my goals. I saw a girl in Joann Fabrics today with a sweater on with these type of sleeves. I remembered this video and now I have an inspiration after seeing her sweater..... actually it was black velvet so maybe it was a short jacket. Traci, you are absolutely the absolute best!!!

    Hi Tracy. Thank you so much for this and for all the work you do to break everything down to make it easy for us. I started by making your bags... I'd never have figured it out in a million years without you, and I made some nice things. I've never been able to make clothes, but I have just done your three tiered skirt with flannel shirts, and I applique a bit on it as well. Cant believe how good it turned out, and I love it! A friend complimented me, and then said...of course you can get nice things because you buy off Vinted. She couldnt believe when I told her I made it. What a boost to my confidence! Thank you SO much. You have enriched my life.

    • @tmyershandmade978
      @tmyershandmade978  11 місяців тому

      Omgosh, your message gave me goose bumps! I couldn't be more excited for you!! I LOVE the story about your friend assuming you spent a fortune on your garment, what a moment that must have been when you told her you made it! This makes my day, thank you so so much for watching, sharing and for the kind words. 🤗❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

      Hi Tracy, I'm knocked out that you wrote to me here in rainy England. I just wanted you to know how much you have done for me and say a big thankyou for all your hard work. I so look forward to your vids. I am a crafter and never happy unless making something, but fabric and I were always a big no, mainly because of all the tacking, basting and because it never worked out !
      You changed all that and so the biggest thankyou...and please keep doing the vids.

    There are some good hand stitching tutorials on UA-cam for people who either don't want to spend money on a machines or have a space for it. It works on most fabrics but knit. It does take a long time but it is attractive. It's also portable. I don't remember who I watched. I just watched multiple people and tried it. I do have a machine but I really just don't understand how to make it stitch the way I want and it's always in the way.
