      @@MsPinkyyy717 I would love too, but we are tight on the budget, I had some health issues a few months ago , I have to go to a cardiologist at the 1st of next month. I don't have insurance. I am getting some help with it. Hopefully all will be good. They found out I had a heart murmur and really high blood pressure. I've had BP problems in the past, I guess it came back. Thank you for thinking of me!

    Your braids are cute! I've been watching videos of people using dollar store materials to make tote bags. I like your upcycle idea even better because you can use materials already owned.

    Such a cute bag and even though I’ve been sewing for over 20 years the way you constructed from start to finish is so smart!!! Great project I probably would have made it a different but this way was so much more efficient and quick 👌🏾
    You also gave a great idea about the pouf for failed projects.. that’s such a great an idea and triggered spin off ideas in my mind. Awesome video, thank you!

    I had a brain wave! I know this is beginner class and all. How about making a tailor's ham. It just a pillow, but fill it with scraps of fabrics. Then new sewest the right tools for their sewing for all upcycling makes.

    So I want to get into sewing so I can fix my own clothes and things but I also crochet and currently trying to make some crochet bags to sell and gift. so I want to make some liners to go inside. Do you have a machine you would recommend that wont be insanely expensive and that would work for sewing fabric to crochet?

    • @BlueprintDIY
      @BlueprintDIY  13 днів тому

      Try any brand or heavy duty, but put paper on top of the crochet side to sew it so it doesn’t get caught in the foot or feed dogs. Here’s some of the hd machines I can recommend. amzn.to/4b2xipP amzn.to/4enETlv

    I have a question and a problem, if you have the time. I got a pair of shorts from the thrift store that are Old Navy and almost brand new. They fit just right BUT when I walk the bottom of the shorts sorta tug on the front of my legs, almost like they were to tight in the leg, but the are very lose in the leg. So I put a slit in the outer seam on each leg almost 1 1/2 up each seam. I was excited to try them on , cause I just knew I had fixed them and it almost looks like they came from the factory that way. Sadly it did not fix them and they still tug on the front of my legs, it doesn't hurt, just annoying. Any suggestions on how to fix that? Oh and the are not long shorts , I guess mid leg length . thanks in advance! Have a great week and I love your channel!!

      I’m so sorry I can’t visualize why this could be happening unless they’re too tight in the thigh area. Could that be it?

    • @shannonamell7102
      @shannonamell7102 13 днів тому

      @@BlueprintDIY That is a strong possibility, cause some big thighs lol. I've only had them on a couple of times. So I'm thinking, I could do an upside triangle from the bottom of the short leg. Wide at the bottom and the point( a little bit of a wide point) would go towards my waist. The fit in the waist. Unless you have a different way . I think the shorts are size 14, depending on how they are made I wear between a 14 and 16 cause no one has a 15. Usually 14s fit pretty good, I usually always have to take in the waist about 1/2 inch. What's the worst that could happen, I miss them up and have scraps. I want wear them like they are now, cause it bugs the day lights out of me lol. I will let you know how it goes when I get to them. I am planning my Mother's 80th bday Sat. The next 2 days are gonna be busy. Thank you so much for your help! Love love your channel!! Have a blessed week!
