    As always, beautiful!!
    A tip about shirring the duster sleeves. If you don't have a machine that the sleeve can slide onto, you could rip out the underarm seam, to make the sleeve flat, attach the elastic, then stitch it back closed. (definitely not saying remove the entire sleeve...that becomes work that just isn't fun)

    I love this example of how to style an entire outfit! For myself, I would add either a full skirt slightly shorter than the pants, or a loose tunic or short dress over, instead of the top. Thanks for the inspiration !!

    On the weekend I thrifted a bag of the most beautiful fabric for $2. Turned out it was a jacket that had been cut out and mostly sewn together. So I watched your post, raided my stash and finished sewing it while lining it and making it my own. It's been such a journey and I can now say I have made myself a piece of clothing. Thanks for the inspiration.

Thank you, I'm full of my own ideas already and am looking forward to revamping old pieces of clothing.

    ❤❤❤❤I love the crushed velvet heart on the shirt! (Yes, I would have passed over the shirt too.) Love the harem pants idea! Since I've never worn harem pants, I may have made them into gauchos. I would cut the sleeves halfway to the elbow and add lace, as well to the bottom of the shirt. I'd probably get that nice duster caught on everything and rip it!

    I really enjoy your videos, they are so creative and inspirational. One of the things I would enjoy, and maybe others would too, is if you would go thrifting and show us how you choose from the multitude of clothing items in thrift stores. Because I look at stuff and some things I can see could be upcycled but other things I would never consider. I think a video showing your process for choosing thrifted clothing would be really fun! Thank you for sharing your amazing ideas with us!

Do you know that a diamond shape insert in the armpit of a top gives more room if too tight. It's the same principle. It can also be done in the waist on a dress if it's too tight. I have been watching how to cut Indian blouses with short sleeves. They are very fitted but good for under garments. Asians are very good at cutting clothing. I think men are great at it.
