Tip for Gathering Fabric: Instead of the method you used to gather the fabric, try this: Take waxed dental floss and zig-zag over the floss close to the raw edge of your fabric. Leave about 2 inches on each end to hold onto. Then gather the fabric by pushing it along the floss. It never breaks and you can really push on the fabric. I used to sew lots of dance costumes and found this trick to be flawless. Great video!
If you have a gathering foot that would work to create the ruffle for the shirt or use a zig zag stitch over dental floss. Pull the floss to create the gather.
omg this is the first positive comment about that!! everyone else is like "what are you doing!!? you're gonna break your needles!" haha that's how my grandma taught me and I've never had a problem
That army dress was screaming Shania Twain vibes! My favorite was the sweater with awesome buttons I want to copy that immediately! Thanks for inspriation!!!!
Thank you!! You have given me hope and allowed my imagination to grow !! We are talking about a 52 year old mum that loves fashion at a reasonable price !! 😘
I'm a sewer. One thing one of my mentors taught me was buttons can make or break an outfit. My poor kids hated when I went shopping for buttons ~~ hours to find the "just right" fit"!
A very good tip for best results is to also iron your fabrics before stitching too. It helps you line the pieces up better and you seams look more professional.
Tips for the shirt. Instead of pulling your seams when you sew, put the longer piece on the bottom and the shorter on top. The excess will resorb almost by itself because of the motion of the feedogs.
My younger brother just passed away from the virus in April. He was 51 and I kept a lot of his clothes. I was just going to make blankets from his t-shirts and button down shirts and now I can try to turn them into fashionable clothes that I can wear.... We will see I guess, but it gives me some ideas. Thank you ❤️💯
You're the best Orly. Everything you touch turn to gold... Words aren't enough to commended you on your craftsmanship. . I just love love your work.. 😘😘👏👏👏
Hi there. I subscribed today and I emulated your green dress with a XXL shirt I got at a thrift store for a dollar. Thank you - I’m a beginner sewer and this really helped me a lot. Any thrift store alterations video that you can put together would be great - like altering lined blazers, larger dresses, shirts, etc would be awesome
I’ve been upcycling and selling my husbands old clothes online by restyling them for my female clients and they’ve been loving them as tee dresses shirt dresses and oversized looks!! Rolling sleeves/ adding lacy bralettes/ pretty belts & the right footwear helps even if you don’t sew ( like me) but just dress up pieces w chunky chains jewelry and cinch the menswear ! Thank you goddess orly for showing us the step by step guide if we do want to try slimming the volume. These are beautiful ideas!!! I’ve also swapped out knobs on dressers and kitchen hardware just like your cardigan idea!! I love all of these so much. Thanks for the happiness 💗⭐️💗⭐️💗⭐️
It would be great if you could show the threading and sewing process in a contrast stitch (just for the video, finish with the color you actually use, but just so it is easier to see on camera). Love this video Orly 😘!
What I love most is that I can still recreate your looks without needing a degree from FIT!! I don’t have a machine but not to worry I still can with a needle, thread , dental floss (for crying out loud), new buttons or fabric glue. Your a GENIUS!!
Yeah I bought a blanket throw that thick cream knit and have large ball trimming the edges and use it as an oversize and comfy wrap. Because it was a large rectangle , I did not need to cut anything, just throw it over my shoulders.. I like there was a mixture of very easy DIY and those for ones that are comfortable with a sewing machine. Thanks for sharing and blessing to you and all in the days to come.
I constantly change out the buttons on a piece that either I’ve thrifted or just want to upgrade the look. It makes such a difference and is the least expensive thing you can do.
The blanket one I did 2 years ago but I cut straight across the top making a poncho then pulling it over my head I can tuck the front into the back n pull the back towards the front belt it n I have a cozy fluffy dress for fall n winter so I’ll need to try that slit up the middle n stitch idea I like it a lot
Four for the price of one! I really like the men’s oversized shirt refashion. Very clear instructions. Of course, I would wear it with leggings and shortie boots but that’s because it’s cold here.
Perfect. I bought an ivory cardigan sweater the other day and it has buttons like yours started with. I don't love them -- they look cheaper than the rest of the sweater. I need to get a couple of things at JoAnn's later this week and will look for buttons, too. Thanks for the inspiration!
the cardi diy is fab, 'cos you have to have an eye for style to know what works and you transformed that cardi into a style piece. Great ideas you have. Everything looks great on you anyway : ) you are so good at alteration, remind me of my darling Mother who could transform anything....
Gurrrrrrl you betta take some basic clothes and make them oh so fab! I'm so inspired and empowered to find my inner designer and do a FIFTYlicious twirl in my DIYs. 🙋🏾🙋🏾🙋🏾🙋🏾😍😍😍😍😍😍
You’re so creative! Your adorable little girl looks so sad, though, starting at 11:33, like she’s wishing you would play with her instead of that sweater. 💔 😢 She’s so cute. I like how she’s all happy again, at the end of the vid, when mommy’s done and including her in the little modeling sesh 😊
Your ideas are always killer but as fellow content creators we also love your editing and stock music! Would you share what stock house you use for your awesome music?
That cardigan, with that nice thick yolk edge, would lend itself to some blingy embellishments like you've done on many other DIYs. I think that would be really pretty and an easy way to make a 'holiday' outfit when paired with a nice skirt or leggings. Got my creative ideas flowing now!
You look like a model! And like Sandra Bullock! I've said this before but I love your hair. Comparing to your hair when it was just dark in previous videos to now, it looks trendy and makes you look younger...keep this look...it suits you❤️. I'm still trying going to find someone to do my hair right 🤦.
16:10 I feel like a walking foot would help feed the fabric through at this point. But maybe that is the quilter in me. I love a walking foot. These are fun tutorials. Thanks for sharing.
I'm totally making one of those blanket wraps just to wear around the house during quarantine. My family likes the house to be cold and I freeze constantly but couldn't figure out how to wear a blanket lol. I love them all!
OMG Oriely!seriously I got a robot floor vaccum last Xmas,paid a lil' less than 100$(on sale)BUT normally it's no more than like 120$.it MAY NOT,IDK,have all the things the 400$ one's have BUT it's EVERYTHING!I HATE floors..ANYWAY,BEEN watching you a few years.you rock!BEEN a"beginner sewist"for over a year😅I think I ALMOST get aggravated OR low confidence possibly therefore I rarely finish any projects..k again you rock girl😉😊
Wow they all turned out so cute, love the peplum short is super cute! I love how easy they are to do and don't take much time to do. Thanks for all these diy ideas 🙂❤💖💖💗💟
WOWWWWWWW. They are great I made one like the blanket re-make but in voile and it looks great too. But the others are beautiful too. Blessed weekend to you my dear.
Thank you Orly!! As you promised, lots of sewing. And now I can send this vid link to a friend who's been bugging me to show her how to change a tshirt into a peplum dress!!

You sew over pins!! YAAAY! Most machines are designed to, but people are scared to. Good job as always on your DIY fashions!!
omg this is the first positive comment about that!! everyone else is like "what are you doing!!? you're gonna break your needles!" haha that's how my grandma taught me and I've never had a problem
@@OrlysChannelof you break the needle, put in a new 1!!!
Yes! Been doing it for 50 years
That peplum shirt creation is incredible! Amazing how you saw that ultra cute shirt in that huge blah T, and brought it out. “Hooray” indeed 😄
That army dress was screaming Shania Twain vibes! My favorite was the sweater with awesome buttons I want to copy that immediately! Thanks for inspriation!!!!

LOVE your creations. Just a tip: you can purchase a gathering foot for your sewing machine. Makes life so much easier 😊

When your girls get to be teens,, they will have an awesome original wardrobe!!
i always love it when designers wear the clothes they make in their videos, you're one of them Orly
You are the only one subscription I look forward it. I wake up and say it's Friday and Orly!

love this!!
That button trick - 🤯🤯 I’ve never thought about doubling the thread when sewing on a button!
Those turned out so cute. I personally love refashioning old blankets or sheets into new stuff
I love the belt you wore with the shirt dress!
Basic to badass cause YOU are a BADASS love your energy & enthusiasm 🥰
The military style makeover is so cool
It would be great if you could show the threading and sewing process in a contrast stitch (just for the video, finish with the color you actually use, but just so it is easier to see on camera). Love this video Orly 😘!

That last dress is awesome
I really love how she really use all the things she diy.
The shirtdress is absolutely AMAZING!!

Thats a great tip to sew the buttons thru the buttonholes if you don't need to open the cardi. It won't get pulled or slump.
as a collector of special buttons sometimes it's nice to use all different buttons, conversation starter😂
I love your videos! And this intro shirt is so beautiful! Always loooovvveeee your stuff!
The shirt dress 😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥
I love when your videos are posted by my break at work!! Keep up the great ideas and entertainment!!
haha yes!!
I love your projects because you do things the way I was taught from my mother and grandmother!!
I love this tee shirt turned into a peplum tee. I love a good peplum.@ The leopard is a huge yes🤍 I love change buttons or adding them for detail.
the mens green button down is my favorite!!
The blanket one I did 2 years ago but I cut straight across the top making a poncho then pulling it over my head I can tuck the front into the back n pull the back towards the front belt it n I have a cozy fluffy dress for fall n winter so I’ll need to try that slit up the middle n stitch idea I like it a lot
Wow!!!what a good job you did to all pieces.
I’m not sure what’s my favorite, luv luv them all...
I think my heart skipped a beat... sweeet giveaway! The peplum top is really my FAV!!!!
So grateful for you and your creativity right now 💙💗💙💗
Thank you so much!
Hi. Hello. Howdy. As a suggection: You might want to suggest to wash the garment before changing the size. Thank you.
I have this blanket and was considering using it as a lining for a denim jacket.
Four for the price of one! I really like the men’s oversized shirt refashion. Very clear instructions. Of course, I would wear it with leggings and shortie boots but that’s because it’s cold here.
Love. Love the army shirt dress I will try this one. They all were great but tht army stole the DIY👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽❤😊
You make it look so easy! And you look great!
You have such a beautiful home. Love the chandelier ✨️
Perfect. I bought an ivory cardigan sweater the other day and it has buttons like yours started with. I don't love them -- they look cheaper than the rest of the sweater. I need to get a couple of things at JoAnn's later this week and will look for buttons, too. Thanks for the inspiration!
I like that song your using in the end.
You‘re a little model. My favorite part of mine. When you‘re modeling in the end.
what is that song?
I just love every one of your tips, you are one of the most creative designer ever! Thank you! 🙌

The blanket flip was simply genius!
U inspire ppl to think outside the box. Ur definitely "designer" 💯
Love the simple button idea
So glad I found you! I love your channel! I haven’t created anything in awhile!!!!! You are encouraging me to create again! Thank you😃
Your blanket cardigan just gave me an idea to use a very similar blanket. It's going to be just big enough for a jacket I want for winter.
Thank you for the thread tip when replacing buttons
Spectacular job, i especially love the blanket turn into a cape
too easy right!?
Right not even i could mess it up and i use to sew. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
That cardigan, with that nice thick yolk edge, would lend itself to some blingy embellishments like you've done on many other DIYs. I think that would be really pretty and an easy way to make a 'holiday' outfit when paired with a nice skirt or leggings. Got my creative ideas flowing now!
totally! love that
You and your Diy's make my Fridays complete!
thank you so much for supporting them!
I love the last one
