I'm 70 years old. Been watch sewing shows for 30 years. This is by far the best sewing video I've ever seen. You had me at the sleeves. This is georgeous. You are a genius!
YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING…I AM an 89 year old granny and by golly I know an INCREDIBLE ARTRIST when I see ONE …And YOU are ONE of THEM YOUNG LADY….!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I found you by happy accident and I think I have binged watched every video you have so far. I will never look at clothes the same way again! My problem is I quit smoking so I have gained enough weight my clothes don’t fit. You are such an inspiration that I’m going to try to diy the pieces I really love so I don’t have to buy a whole new wardrobe. Thank you so so much for your talent and willingness to share it 💕
Oh there are some really good upcycling and enlarging tops, pants and dresses on UA-cam. I am going to try to do those and channel my inner Traci while doing so. Congrats on quitting- I am 20 years nonsmoker. You will be there in no time!
I don't know if you realise Tracey...but in styling your beautiful one off clothes & accessories you drop so many hints and tips that are so invaluable ty ty ty ❤❤❤❤
You TRACY are just the best to share your creativity with us all!!! Please please please please, keep sharing your AMAZING tutorials!!! What a gift you are…..👏❤️😉🥰😊😍👏thank YOU!!!
I love your fun coat. I studied fashion design way back in 1966 in Los Angeles. Your never too old to make and wear fun and unique clothes. Thanks for sharing your tricks and tips. ❤😊
Wow. It would never have occurred to me to do some of the things that you do. I am so very grateful for your videos! They open my mind to new possibilities.
I swear I am running out of superlatives to describe how wonderful your designs are Traci 🤩 This is so rich, so luxurious, so incredibly sumptuous and yet so soft and comfy looking !!! I am always stunned by the finished garment !! I cant thank you enough for the incredible inspirations that you give me. God Bless and great job !!!!!!! 😘💋💋❤❤❤
Wow just love everything you create your a true artist you truly motivate me I’m going threw so much since my husband past and you are a true gift from God watching your videos god bless you and every one who reads this
Hi Tracy I'm a new viewer I just found you a few weeks ago and I've watched so many of your videos! I'm so inspired! I'm disabled and I can't afford the clothes I like so I've been sewing patches and taking in shirts and pants all by hand but soon I'll have enough for a new sewing machine the one I had they don't make parts for it but I'm really enjoying myself and I can't wait to see what you do next! I've never been so excited to see a new video before! I'm inspired! Thank you so much Tracy! ❤❤❤
My machine died 50 years ago but your tutoring has inspired me to start sewing again with my thrift store finds. I am 78, a recent widow, & a free spirit who loves clothes that twirl. Thank you so much for sharing your creativity, patience, & experience with us.
I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE THIS COAT!!! It reminds me of Joseph's coat of many colors!! I think this is the most fabulous piece of clothing I have seen you make so far!! Your artist eye never ceases to amaze me with the visions of what can be from a conglomerate of many different textile pieces!! THIS IS SIMPLY FABULOUS!!!!!!!
I’m new to upcycling and have never known how to sew, except for mending and basics. What I like about your projects is that they are not intimidating, because you are following your own taste. However, you help me by explaining some of your techniques that only help the project turn out more well made. Thanks for providing me BOTH inspiration AND sewing education. 😊🙌🏾
That is so lovely! One thought when making the pockets, if you want slanted pockets, I think it’s better and more pleasing to the eye to pin them on straight but make the top of the pocket slanted when you draw & cut it out, rather than making it square at the top. Then the pocket is on straight but the top is slanted for easier access. It’s probably a good idea to top stitch right across the top of the pocket anyway as it would strengthen it & help to stop it stretching & getting baggy.
Many kisses and hugs from Australia. This is just what I needed to see. I was always in recycling, all my life. And I started thinking that I am wrong, that I need to minimize , to simplify. You gave me strength to continue . Colorful life, unusual cloths , furniture, that' s it. Thank you, I love it. 😉
One of my favorite things about your videos is the way you don't worry when things turn out differently than you planned. You are so encouraging about taking risks. I get such great ideas from you. I have a dress that never fit right, the sleeves are very tight but I love the fabric. Turning it into a coat and putting triangles in the sleeves would solve the problem. I really love the colors and fabrics you used in the coat.
How regal you look in this coat of many colors. Another creative wonder from your beautiful brain. I absolutely love it! Another item for my to make list.
I can not thank the universe enough for sending me this gem and then deep diving your channel. So many of my planned projects and designs are on your channel! I can not articulate how much I appreciate you. Thank you beautiful creative soul for helping others with techniques and gusto. Kudos on a fabulous authentic style.
Hi Traci, I'm once again speechless and amazed at what you've conjured up out of a simple dress. A unique piece of superlatives. Thank you very much for your detailed tutorial my wonderful lady. Big hugs Beate
Thank you for sharing your expertise and talent! I had to step away from sewing 11 years ago and just got back to it. Your videos have reawakened my creative sewing self and given me direction that is much needed. I have been sewing since I was 5 years under the instruction of both of my grandmothers who were very talented in different ways. I hope to be able to make this into a money making venture as I have always loved sewing. Your easy going style is so refreshing!
Our Dear Ms. Myers: Gobsmackingly Fabulous!! I think this is my favorite thing you have done so far!!! When you showed this dress on your thrift haul, I immediately thought duster, but I had no idea! Thanks for doing it!! Absolutely wonderful!!!!
Your creations are Magical!!! 😍😍😍 I absolutely dig your vibe and aesthetic!!! I no longer am employed by corporate America and therefore am no longer required to "dress for success", so I am updating my entire wardrobe. Thanks to you, your creativity and inspiration, I am not only able to save a ton of money by thrifting most everything, but I am having an absolute BLAST!!! You are a Rock Star!!! Thanks you for being you!!! 💞
Your"re amazing ! 🤩I love everything you create ! Sometimes, it makes me crazy ! Last week, i spent the w-e, looking for ribbons, laces, pearls, strass and glitters and i undestood why i could'nt finish my purses and bags : the final touch is a part of dream and beauty, with a lot of passion and creativity ! (sorry for my english, i'm french :) ... Your creations are awakening the romanticism of the Flower Power buried in my childhood 😉😘Gratitude for your all you share us 🥰 ! 💖🙏
Love your videos! My only suggestion is to leave the bottom of the pocket to turn right side out. That way you are closing it at the same time you sew it to the garment.
Absolutely gorgeous! Who would have ever thought to cut off the button and buttonhole placket from a blazer and sew it onto another coat? Brilliant!!! Thanks for another top notch video! Truly mind boggling!
I am enthralled by your coat video. It was the first of your videos I have ever watched but I will be a fan from now on. I dream about that coat every night since viewing. I certainly wish I could purchase that beautiful object...it is not only Bohemian in it's look but reminds me of Russia, where I have spent much time. Several years ago I saw a wonderful coat made out of sweaters by an artist in up-state New York and I love wearing it. Formerly, when my daughters were growing up, I sewed constantly but have gotten out of the habit when I began other forms of art. Thank you for inspiring me.
Brava! It is a great idea to use the dress shape to pre-make the coat’s princess-seam style. This is so much easier than cutting out long pattern pieces. Also you can use relatively small pieces of fabrics like that fabulous wedding blanket to create the right look.
If only I had one tenth of your talent. You are an artist. The coat is GORGEOUS! It's rich, exotic, a little boho and a little ethnic, and it looks regal. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to wear that! And the way you paired it with a black maxi dress and those chunky boots, it's just perfect. 💖💖💖💖💖🌻🌷🌹
Tracie, you have such a good eye for pattern and color. I think this is one of the keys -- that's what makes your creations so amazing. I hope that one day I can make a garment or a purse that would be as beautiful and boho as yours! Love this video -- Thanks!!
I love this! I have an old robe that is so coat like already and I have an old piece of fabric that came from Turkey (got cheaply at a garage sale) I think I just discovered my new winter coat!
9/23/23 First time viewer I luv what I've seen so far and I did subscribe. I am' Everything Boho Chic, African, Gypsy & Bohemian. I definitely will be watching 👀 to see what else U come up with. I saw the shirt and lace. I've been doing since I was 12 yrs old. I'm now 67 and I LUV THRIFTING. U can find everything and anything from all over the world from under one roof. I luv upcycling and recycling. The way u added those buttons on to that coat was Awesome!!! I would've never thought 🤔 of that one. U have a Very Creative mind. Blessings to u and ur channel 🙏🏽🙏🏽💜 PS. I was trying to see how u did those curtains behind u. With hand made lace flowers and strips of frabic..... A ghourllllllll!!!!!! After my own 💜 heart. LUV UR STYLE.
Hi Tracy. I'm a retired sewing professional (70) and I just have a little tip for your pockets. Best to make the turning hole at the sides or bottom bc you are going to sew topstitch the pockets onto the garment anyway; catching the hole . Therefore leaving the top of pocket free of stitches. Of course in sewing there is always more ways to 'skin a cat' I always say! 😊 Love your videos. Keep em coming!
WOW! Girl you can move in with me and redo my entire wardrobe! I don't get along with my sewing machine very well. But I am inspired to try again and I'm definitely going to watch more of your videos!
Tracy if you ever find time I love for you to take a maxi dress and add longer sleeves. I do not like showing my arms but i have tons of dresses I dont feel comfortable in. But as a beginner sewer i have no idea how to do this. Ive looked for videos on line but most dont explain as clearly or straight forward as you. I love the boho dress with long sleeves and patches. Ty
This coat is absolutely GORGEOUS ! Yes, I may have watched this twice and commented twice….lol, oh well. I found a bright orange and royal blue Indian tunic. I also found a blouse that has the same colors. I want to do something with this. But, I’m afraid I’ll look like I’m running away to join the circus! (No offense, circus folks!). I’m not sure what to do next. Your coat is so beautiful ! I can just see Stevie Nicks wearing it (or me! Lol). It has such a rich and hip vibe!
Oh My! Just when I think you just made something so amazing…you find a another piece of fabric and bring out another trim and you make it even more fantastic then I could even imagine”WOW” !!! I love it 😍 It turned out beautifully ❤❤❤
OMGOODNESS!! I'M SOOO EXCITED!! 30 years ago and "expert" seamstress made herself a coat using upholstery fabric! It was ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!! I QUILT, not able to read patterns and then attach correctly. 😢 BUT THIS!!!! I feel too confined in a coat, so doing this will be perfect! My daughter is getting married 09/09/23, so after that I'll be hitting the Thrift Stores!! There's one 25 miles away that has MANY suit jackets!! Maybe one of them will work for the starter. I'm a plus size, so finding Thrifty plus size dresses in my VERY RURAL area will prove to be difficult ~ but I'll watch for one!! THANK YOU SOOO VERY MUCH FOR SHARING THIS!!!!!!
Wow! Love it! My 7 yr old is very crafty, loved DIYs and has similar boho taste as you. Might be a bit advanced for her but we love watching you and getting neat ideas. I love how you encourage to try things out even if it might not turn out the way you imagine. I love love love this!!
Your patchwork coat is stunning! I adore the textures and rich autumn colors. You’re pop of solid blue in there is fabulous! Thank you for sharing your beautiful creations. ❤❤
I'm so glad you said it can go either way. You have inspired me to start modifying my wardrobe, and oh boy, I'm terrified everytime I'm about to start 😅. But it's been good so far. Thank you, Traci, for being here. You're a gem. Greets from Gitte in Sweden 👋
Wow Traci, that is stunning. And it looks so snuggly warm too Would be perfect for our 9 month long, cold winters in Northern Ireland, lol. I even have a dress that I think would be perfect for this style of coat. Thank you so much for sharing your incredible imagination and creativity. Lee xx
You give such great starting out ideas for everyone! Thank you for doing these instructive and visionary ideas. I used to make my Ren Faire costumes with items I altered from the thrift shops, also many Halloween costumes. The past five years been into crochet...thanks to folks like you learned so much and make clothes, hats etc. I need to go to the Thrift shop soon to find baskets for some rainforest plants I am gifting so definitely cruising the dress section.. Again thank you for your videos. I myself love teaching the crafts classes I have taught. I always hope my students take something away from my class. ❤❤❤❤❤
@@tmyershandmade978 Funny you say that was thinking the same. For some weird reason I thought you did live by me because your vibe seems sunny California and thought you may be in the Venice or Santa Monica area or somewhere here in South Bay...and did the flea markets around here like Pasadena or Long Beach swaps/faires. Your custom shabby chic style clothes seems would be a big hit in the beach and LA area. 💞💕💞💕💞💕💞. (Cher who lives in Silverlake would definitely would have bought your clothing if you were at a flea market in her area!😸lol!)
I am addicted to your videos. Went thrifting today for goodies,. Just want to say you have a beautiful soul, and make gorgeous goodies. Stay healthy and well. Theresa from Florida
OOOooo I love the Black and Gold Number that You thrifted the other day !! I LOVE IT AS IS! Woops and then You cut her up LOL Wow the Italian Wedding Blanket is so lovely and the Cuff is so Miss Fisher from the show , so Deco!! Loved how She turned out!! BRAVO!
Wow, this is unbelievable I positively want this .Oh my word! I must do this. I am breathless, amazing. You’re wonderful my friend…all I have to say is you are absolutely wonderful. Truly my dear I am never disappointed 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Absolutely stunning! 🤩 I'm not a seamstress at all but you make me want to start sewing. Love the textile look. You're a spectacular artist! Thank you for sharing your art pieces with us.

Hello from Sweden 🇸🇪
I really love it 💖 So beautiful 💖
Thank you so so much!!!🤗💖💖💖💖

But as a beginner sewer i have no idea how to do this. Ive looked for videos on line but most dont explain as clearly or straight forward as you. I love the boho dress with long sleeves and patches.

I have been looking at quilt coats all week. Love yours the best!
Thank you!!!🤗💖💖💖💖
I absolutely love every project you take on but this beautiful
coat just has to be my very favorite 💖
Thank you so much!!!🤗💖💖💖💖💖
This coat is absolutely GORGEOUS ! Yes, I may have watched this twice and commented twice….lol, oh well. I found a bright orange and royal blue Indian tunic. I also found a blouse that has the same colors. I want to do something with this. But, I’m afraid I’ll look like I’m running away to join the circus! (No offense, circus folks!). I’m not sure what to do next. Your coat is so beautiful ! I can just see Stevie Nicks wearing it (or me! Lol). It has such a rich and hip vibe!
Thank you!🤗❤❤❤
This is my favorite of all the things you have made. Beautiful!
Oh My! Just when I think you just made something so amazing…you find a another piece of fabric and bring out another trim and you make it even more fantastic then I could even imagine”WOW” !!! I love it 😍 It turned out beautifully ❤❤❤
Thank you so so much!!!🤗💕💕💕💕
Fabulous coat! I can easily see you as a top costume designer for Cirque de Soleil. Just lovely, every piece
Awww!! Thank you so much!😊💞💞💞💞
OMGOODNESS!!
I'M SOOO EXCITED!!
30 years ago and "expert" seamstress made herself a coat using upholstery fabric! It was ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!
I QUILT, not able to read patterns and then attach correctly. 😢
BUT THIS!!!!
I feel too confined in a coat, so doing this will be perfect!
My daughter is getting married 09/09/23, so after that I'll be hitting the Thrift Stores!!
There's one 25 miles away that has MANY suit jackets!!
Maybe one of them will work for the starter. I'm a plus size, so finding Thrifty plus size dresses in my VERY RURAL area will prove to be difficult ~ but I'll watch for one!!
THANK YOU SOOO VERY MUCH FOR SHARING THIS!!!!!!
Thank you for sharing! You are truly a gifted fiber artist!!! Thank you for sharing your gift with us!! 😘💕

Wow! Love it! My 7 yr old is very crafty, loved DIYs and has similar boho taste as you. Might be a bit advanced for her but we love watching you and getting neat ideas. I love how you encourage to try things out even if it might not turn out the way you imagine.
I love love love this!!
Awww I love that you watch with your little girl!!! 🤗💖💖💖💖
Your patchwork coat is stunning! I adore the textures and rich autumn colors. You’re pop of solid blue in there is fabulous! Thank you for sharing your beautiful creations. ❤❤
Thank you so much!🤗💞💞💞💞
I'm so glad you said it can go either way. You have inspired me to start modifying my wardrobe, and oh boy, I'm terrified everytime I'm about to start 😅. But it's been good so far. Thank you, Traci, for being here. You're a gem.

Wow Traci, that is stunning. And it looks so snuggly warm too Would be perfect for our 9 month long, cold winters in Northern Ireland, lol. I even have a dress that I think would be perfect for this style of coat. Thank you so much for sharing your incredible imagination and creativity. Lee xx

Thank you so much 🤗💖💖💖💖
I thought the dress was cute on you, but what you turned out of it is WOUSERS ! I love it so much!
Thank you so much!!🤗💖💖💖💖💖
You give such great starting out ideas for everyone! Thank you for doing these instructive and visionary ideas. I used to make my Ren Faire costumes with items I altered from the thrift shops, also many Halloween costumes. The past five years been into crochet...thanks to folks like you learned so much and make clothes, hats etc. I need to go to the Thrift shop soon to find baskets for some rainforest plants I am gifting so definitely cruising the dress section.. Again thank you for your videos. I myself love teaching the crafts classes I have taught. I always hope my students take something away from my class. ❤❤❤❤❤
Wow, you sound like a lady after my own heart!! Wish you lived near me!!!!🤗💖💖💖
@@tmyershandmade978 Funny you say that was thinking the same. For some weird reason I thought you did live by me because your vibe seems sunny California and thought you may be in the Venice or Santa Monica area or somewhere here in South Bay...and did the flea markets around here like Pasadena or Long Beach swaps/faires. Your custom shabby chic style clothes seems would be a big hit in the beach and LA area. 💞💕💞💕💞💕💞. (Cher who lives in Silverlake would definitely would have bought your clothing if you were at a flea market in her area!😸lol!)
I am addicted to your videos. Went thrifting today for goodies,. Just want to say you have a beautiful soul, and make gorgeous goodies. Stay healthy and well. Theresa from Florida
