How To Upcycle An Old Coat With Floral Appliques and Ruffles
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- 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!

I just love how you turn a everyday shirt into a piece of art.my machine has been tucked away for many years, im inspired to bring it out & try my best to make this. Thank you so much.
Aww I hope you do!🤗❤❤❤❤
Love this! You are always such an inspiration. Please don’t stop. So many of us love your passion and vision for unique up cycled garments.
You have no idea how much a message like yours inspires me, thank you!🤗💕💕💕💕💕💕
Another beautiful creation Tracy, I love your work!!!❤❤
Thank you so much!🤗❣❣❣
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!!!
Aww love that!! 😘💕💕💕💕
How exquisite one of a kind. ❤That wonderful mind of yours. A little tip if you need large pieces of material a painter cloth is great. They are cheap and dye great. Please keep feeding us your wonderful ideas. We are totally hooked!! ❤
Love the tip! Thank you 🤗💞💞💞💞💞
Masterful! Clever Tracy! This is serious design work and magical fantasy! I admire people like you!🎉🌹Bravo !
Awww you are so sweet, thank you 🤗💞💞💞💞
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.
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.
@@cynthiaberry3553 awww I appreciate that so soooooo much! I'm the same, not happy unless I'm creating😊 Hugs and kisses🤗😘🤗😘🤗😘
It's SO perfect Traci !! I am constantly blown away by how trendy and chic your designs are !!! Simply BEAUTIFUL !!!!! 🤩🥰🤩🥰🤩
Thank you so much!🤗💜💕💜💕💜💕
Beautiful coat. Love the flowers. Those purple boots!! Never in a million years could I pull those off. They look amazing on you 😊
That's a great sleeve shape, Tracy. You really upped the cool factor with that decision.
Thank you!🤗💕💕💕💕
You make everything look good!
Aww thank you so much 🤗❤❤
That's stunning Traci. I hope you are recovering well from your surgery and you are feeling like it helped your wrist and hand. Lee xx
Aww I appreciate that so much. The jury is still out on how good my hand will be, slow recovery for some reason.🤗💕💕💕💕💕

You transformed this coat in the most beautiful way, Traci! You matched the linen so well with the original coat -- amazing. The finished coat is so trendy and beautiful! I love your purple boots and bag too. The way you wear it with jeans and a sweater looks great, and focuses the attention on the coat. I love your videos -- they give me such a boost. 💗 💗
Aww I appreciate that so so much, thank you 🤗💕💕💕💕💕

Hello Hello my friend. Things has been quite busy for me. I've been looking for a Relaxing evening to set down and watch your videos without falling asleep 😊. Now about this beautiful coat it does have the swing coat look, which I absolutely adore. Your fashion is Impeccable. Love the flowers love the bubble effect . It is just beautiful. You are amazing my friend . I knew I was in for a wonderful treat. You style it up so beautifully... the boots the bag just beautiful. And you look amazing in all your fashion. I my wonderful friend am never disappointed💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Hey Tracy, you need a darning foot to maneuver easily. You will love it.
Okay, good to know...I will check it out!! 🤗💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
You are so adorable! Everything you make looks fantastic on you! I love your style - thank you so much for sharing!!! 💗💗💗
Thank you so so much!🤗❤💕❤💕❤💕
Instead of using a bunch of pins I use some light glue which sticks quickly but also washes out in the machine , it’s so much better and easier when the motifs are on the fabric all around not gaping gaps with the pins
You’re sewing is Awsum. ! Your style is a breath of fresh air. !!!
Thanks for all the great videos. !
Yes! Yes! After a few years I’ve drug out the Singer…love your vision! So inspiring,thank y’all so much
Aww I'm so glad you did!!🤗💞💞💞💞

Thank you for sharing your creative visions with us! You do give people like me the courage to start even thinking we can do what you do since you don't try to make it all so perfect!!! You are so sweet and encouraging! I'm pretty sure I have a couple of these rain jackets somewhere around here that I haven't worn in a good 15 years! I'd wear this one tho!!! 😅
Have a fantastic week! (you've encouraged me to take a class to learn how to use a serger I inherited 25 years ago! I go Nov. 7th!) ❤

I really enjoy seeing your sewing technique. I also did a pair of jeans. I used my quilting foot witch allowed me to sew around the flowers much easier. Thank for your unique talent.
I appreciate that, thank you!🤗💕💕💕
Absolutely gorgeous. I think this is my new favorite ! ( I say that after every video !) thank you so much for sharing your talent yet again !!
Thank you so much!!!🤗💖💖💖💖
I love this. You’re so creative.
Thank you so much 🤗💕💞💕💞💕
These are wonderful ideas combined in one piece! Gorgeous as always😍 I have a winter puffer coat that is too boring for me and I've been thinking for a while how i could upgrade it. Sewing through the puff doesn't seem like a good idea haha, so I thought to ask how would you do it? Since you are so masterful in upcycling!
Oh gosh, I've never thought of a puffer coat, I typically try to do a little more boho or lagenlook🤗💕💕💕
@@tmyershandmade978 yeah, i have to wear a puffer coat because of the long and cold winters so i really want to make it more bohemian and whimsical, just don't know how haha😅
Beautiful jacket! Love this! Scared to try Applique though! Thank you for being you!
Thank you so much 🤗💜💕💜💕
Beautiful 💜
🤗❤❤❤❤
Fabulous once again, you are a genius x
Thank you so so much 🤗💞❤💕💖
It’s so beautiful!!
Thank you so much 🤗💞❤💕💖
Beautiful! ❤
Thank you so much 🤗❤❤❤
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 😊💜
It's lovely & has so much movement !❤❤
Thank you so much 🤗💜💜💜💜
So adorable!
Thank you so much 🤗❤❤❤
Fantastic...lobely Lady...good idea..look very good..Elisa from California....
Thank you!🤗🤗🤗💖
