    Because of your DYI I went thrift shopping for the first time. Found a denim jacket for $4 and a sheer leopard print dress for $4. Going to exoskeleton it. Thank you for the inspiration and know how!

    I have fallen instantly in love with you two weirdos! And I LOVE this upcycle! I teach sewing to underprivileged adults, and we rely on fabric donations and upcycling thrifted garments, so I'm always looking for inspo.

    I haven’t sewn a garment in 15 years (I quilt now, but I was a dressmaker for a long time), and I have been wanting to incorporate patchwork onto an old denim jacket that’s been hanging in my closet from the days when denim jackets were cool, then not cool, and now cool again. This was such perfect timing, for real. You’re a fantastic instructor, and I’m thrilled to subscribe. OH! Also, thanks for showcasing 3 black owned fabric businesses!! Woohoo!

      Also does that tape leave a glue film on the needle.

    • @handmadeharriells
      @handmadeharriells  4 роки тому +3

      We’re so glad you liked it! So, the tape I use doesn’t leave a lot film, so long as you take your time heat setting it. But, I always change my needle out after sewing up a project with this.

    I accidentally forgot to return 2 mesh blouses 2 seasons ago (not inexpensive), when the black mesh with embroidery was "all the rage"--both sitting in closet with tags on, but couldn't bear to get rid of them...NOW at least I can make good use of them, lol!! Also: this would be a SUPER CUTE light spring-summer cover-up if done in white denim with white embroidered mesh! I LOVE how creative you are--and your "lessons" aren't intimidating at all! Thanks!!❤

I will be on the "yes, I will sew it" side of the equation, and this hack MUST be! I can see my jackets lining up to be first so they don't wind up at Goodwill becoming someone else's hack! Thank you so much for your brilliance, marvelous Marcy!!
