I LOVE this. I teach a sewing class to underprivileged adults, and we rely on fabric donations. But when donations are low, we raid the Op Shop (thrift store) that is part of the organisation I work for, for old clothes, and there is always a surplus of old jeans. So these tutorials (like many others of yours) will make it to my class here in Australia! :D
I knew when u typed op shop u were a another Aussie 👍🌺
I just wanted to say I don't think I've expressed enough appreciation for all the stuff I've learned from you. You're so easy to follow on directions and you teach really thoroughly...so TY from the bottom of my heart ❤ 🤗
I love the apron! It's also nice to use when cooking. I'm really messy and always wiping my hands on my pants. Also it reminds me of aprons that my grandmother made for all of us kids, She had long pockets towards the bottom and made individual stitching for us to keep our crayons, colored pencils in.
Your hat turned out very cute. Just love how positive you are.😊
I also really like your upcycles. I particularly liked the pretty bias tape on the apron edge!
Made a wall organizer sewing together 25 jeans pockets (I cut out a square around them) and a double potholder with one pocket at each end :-)
Awesome! yes! :) great idea!
My fav is the dress. My daughter doen't really like dresses. But lately she taken a liking into jeans. I'll show her this design... fingers crossed
Ha ha, same here - we went through the stage of "everything needs pockets", now we are going through the stage of "i want to spin in my clothes" so I made a few dresses for her, but she still likes to wear legging under them :) kids are so fun :)
I love these upcycle ideas🥰. I wanted to make a apron for my daughters. As they are always painting and getting it on there clothes. Now I can use my old jeans (which I didn't want to part with) for this😅. Thanks a lot for these wonderful ideas.
OMG, yes! :) I have just a cotton apron that I made for my toddler and it is a life saver, because without it - oh my.... she loves glitter glue and paints, so it is a must :) and jeans are quite thicker than just cotton so hopefully the paint won't seep through!
Excellent projects. . . and timely. I am currently designing a lined travel vest with zippered pockets (inside and out) to be made from my husbands old jeans. I can incorporate some of your tips! When I travel, I put phone, wallet, passport, etc. in vest pockets. I remove the vest only at security. My valuables are fairly safe. I was really grateful for this habit when I once left my handbag behind at an airport lounge and was grateful it contained only lotion, lipstick, and other easily replaceable items.
I think I’m going to make your bucket hat too!
Thanks for the inspiration!
I have 3-4 totes stuffed full of old jeans. I just need to get in there and start making stuff.
Go for it, you will find it a lot of fun and so creative!
Thanks so much for this. I'm definitely going to make the dress for my daughters first birthday dress 😊xx
Adorable dress. I too, recreate with old denim. Lovely videos. I would never have quessed Latvia. I thought for sure the Philippines. Happy sewing!
Oh my Alisa, I love Denim, & I love aprons lol. Appreciate you dear🎉💃🏽
Wowww I already do this & it's so fun. Like I am now doing a long jean duster & beach pants. I've done some cute 2 tone jean clutchs/totes jean wallets & jean cpu bags. And they look so brand new like city style or something. They just look sooooo brand new..!!
I feel so fortunate that I have you for a teacher/on line friend. I can't tell you how much I enjoy your channel. That little dress you made for your daughter was so sweet. It reminded me of my baby girl. (she is going to be 30 this coming April). Lol. I would love to know where you get your fabrics if you have a second. Thanks so much my friend.
I like all your works. You are tidy, beautiful and have nise voice ......
Love the apron. Going to make my husband a bbq apron out of his old jeans!
Love your videos.
Beautiful upcycling ideas mam. I too have upcycled a denim into a hand purse . Ur ideas r superb and I loved that small dress. Thank you
You never stop impressing. I love all of the items you made. The embroidery on the hat hit the spot too. Clever lady!! ❤️
I am an artist learning to sew. I am definitely making the apron! I am going to raid my husband's closet and upcycle his jeans. I might even make one for when he works in his shop in thee garage.
GOD bless you, AMEN. Thanks so much.
Yes yes yes! Love that apron! My husband has a pair of old (old!) Jeans with holes in them. I'll reuse them!
Yay! :) oooh, on top of the holes you can put cute patches, or use your cricut! so many ideas!
@@ThoughtfulCreativity the holes are near the crotch seam lol. I *think* I should throw that part out 😎
@@sarahvandekendelaere8761 oh man, yes, unless you want some air conditioning :)
Thank you Alisa, what a timely post. I was about to give up and get rid of all a whole bunch of denim pieces I have kept for a long time. Watching your lovely projects changed my mind!
Lovely projects. Thanks for the video
What do you think of using paint and textile medium to stencil fabric?
These are all great. Your embroidery on the bucket hat is super cute. I’m so proud of you and your channel. 💗
I like the apron and bucket hat but I love the little dress. Very good ideas to use up denim. Love them. Thanks for sharing my dear.
Love love love it all. The dress is my favorite! 💜
Thank you for making this simple😁
Glad you like it, Cheryl! :) that dress did turn out cute, little one loves it!
Love this video!Thank u for sharing❤️
Fantastic project ideas, I have old denim I've been planning to use up!
Go for it! :)
I love your bucket hat. I have been wanting to make one, but i cannot get the correct measurement.
Very adorable on the last project you did.. 😊
All great ideas!! Thank you!!
Wow the dress came out lovely ❤️
Absolutely amazing … love them all. I
Hope to make the hat for my five Frands age 1-8 if I can only I figure out head sizes.
Great thanks. I adore you.
Oops. “Grands” not frands!
upcycled denim empire waisted dress, so clever
Your bucket hat is adorable!!!
How did you put the pockets on ? Did you sew them on ?
Youre ideas are so good !!!
Thank you!
I love the recycling of denim fabric. Instead of throwing them away. Sew cute!!
Thank you, Karen!
I love your apron. Have you ever made any fabric yo-yos. Yo-yo flowers would look cute on your hat also. The little girls dress is wonderful; and, it looks like an expensive garment. I may try making myself some of these items. It's worth a try. Thank you.
Arvetta, hello there! :) thank you for your sweet comment! I think, I think, but not 100% sure, but I did fabric flowers in a previous video about using up fabric scraps, only there I made them into hair clips. But you're right, fabric flowers would look cute on a hat!
Well done! I like the skills ratings. ♡♡♡
These are truly amazing I love them all
This is a something I do as a sewing class at my local school
Cute ideas but you didn't show how to finish attaching the cap to the brim! Did you finish with the bias tape? I would rather have seen that than the embroidery.
Deb, as I said in the tutorial - the link to the FULL tutorial is in the infobox, all you have to do is go and click on it.
I absolutely love each & every project you have made w denim!!! I am not so creative so I am so glad I can use your ideas!!!
Lana, that's awesome! I am sure that you are creative, just gotta "juice" it a bit, he he, but besides my silly jokes - so glad you enjoyed it! P.S: there is an instruction sheet for Apron on the Google Drive for Members :)
Yes Skillshare is awesome
beautiful and clever.
Love the baby girl dress. So cute ❤️
Thank you! I love it too :)
really nice pieces, love them all
Beautiful work. Great ideas also. I love your enthusiasm and creativity. Thanks for sharing!!!😉😄😁
I loved sewing since i was your age ..im 65 y/o and continuing looking forward to make somèthing new and sew beautiful and easy crafts ...new subscriber from Legazpi City Philippines.Thank yòu for sharing your videos.
Apron idea ! great !
Aww! Your kitty is so cute! So was the bucket hat! All good ideas. :)
Thank you! 😊
Love these ideas!
You are a genius at seeing potential in everything. It’s amazing. I really like the distressed look of the denim. Looks really good. These are great projects. 👍👍😊
I love it .i will try these
❤❤❤😊
I like the idea of making the dress into a cropped cami/tank top with a peplum for myself. That would be super cute!
I love this!!
🥰🦋🌈🦋🥰
Cute dress
I love these ideas!! I have a big box of old jeans I was saving in the garage. Now I can make these projects as gifts and clean out another box out there. Thanks so much for these clever and cute projects ideas!!
I love watching you do your style.. you are so inspiring. Wish everyone would watch you
Brilliant ideas! I particularly love the apron 😍 but they are all great. Thanks, Alisa 🙏
I’m so glad you did this. I was wanting ideas for denim from old jeans. Your projects are perfect.
Such great ideas! I'd love to see some more upcycling ideas and get your creative take on it 😊
Beautiful ideas. Thank you for inspiration
Above everything, I love that we got to see the cat 🐈
Yep :) she decided to participate :)
What kind of thread should we use
I use normal all purpose polyester thread for the seams. You can also Google what thread is great for topstitching denim.
Super! I loved them all, so easy!👍
Thanks so much 😊
Thank you Alisa, I love all of these projects.
I love upcycling. I'd love to see more as your videos are so easy to follow
What an inspiration you are Alisa!!!
Thank you, Nancy! I try to bring creativity and inspiration as much as I can!
Love the little dress .. it came up beautiful
Love,love the bucket hat🤗🌼
Love love love the dress!
I 💔 your 🐱!!!
Isn't she the sweetest?! although when she decides to park right in front of the sewing machine - she can be stubborn :D
@@ThoughtfulCreativity Haha! But there is always a "pass" for our pets.
Gorgeous projects with very clear instructions. Thanks Alisa!🐾🥰
PS About a week ago I sent a message through a comment section. that I was unable to access my Member's perks. This happens when I use my computer, my phone access is fine. As you can see by my name on this comment the blue dot is missing and at the top just under your video I have the "join" option to choose, when I am already a member. This only started a week ago on my computer, before that my membership showed up like it does on my phone. Can you please tell me how to fix it?
Marion, I just saw your comment on the skirt post for Members and then on here and then on the Members Extra video and you are right - same name, same account picture but one has a badge and the other one does not. I have never seen anything like this happen. I wonder if you accidentally have a google account and then a separate yt account, one is logged into YT, the other one is not. Or maybe your computer needs verification of your account. You know how sometimes you use your email service for weeks, but then when you need to update some options you have to login again... maybe that it is the same. I would need to reach out to YT support to see what is up and maybe they can help...
@@ThoughtfulCreativity Hello Alisa
Thank you for replying to me and explaining possible causes. Yes, a week or so ago I had to update my Google account settings and this apparently affected my UA-cam account. I also got rid of an account email that was no longer in use.
However, NOW I have affected some changes and also now discover that I am am no longer joined to your Members page on my phone as well!!
I am wondering if I join up again will this mean that I will be billed twice monthly? I really want to be able to access your member videos. I am so sorry for all this mixup, I just want to get it sorted, but it looks like I have no other option than to join agai?.
I really appreciate and welcome your suggestion.
Marion
@@marionlacey1074 Marion, no worries! Life happens :) let's see, when you go to your UA-cam profile, top right corner with your photo/profile picture there should be an option menu - "Memberships and purchases" - click on it and take a look what it says there, if there are any active memberships, and see if you can see what an is happening there. Maybe your payment options were connected to the old Gmail account? Maybe it erased your payment options? If nothing - there should be a question sign that says "help" - you can contact UA-cam support to help you out with that, because if I reach out they can't see your account and therefore can't help me to help you, but if you reach out from your account they should be able to help and see what is going on.
@@ThoughtfulCreativity Thanks Alisa. I did have a look before and could see no active memberships. I will see if I can see a help button to contact UA-cam, otherwise shall bite the bullet and join up again! 🙏
This is so odd... Definitely reach out to the YT help desk - they should be able to sort it out. The last thing that comes to mind, as silly as it may sound - restart the phone+ computer. But yes, reach out to YT - let them know what is happening, usually it is in a chat form, so you click on a little "?" mark symbol from the menu options when you click on your profile and type in your question and they respond back to you. I am so sorry I am not able to help you more!
