How To Turn a Frumpy Night Gown Into a Cool Boho Duster Kimono

- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- Create art with your old clothes! In this DIY video, we will have fun with a frumpy old thrifted night gown. We will combine lots of fun techniques to create a one-of-a-kind boho duster. First, I walk you step by step through adding fabric inserts, to make garment larger and flowy. Then we make two sets of ruffles from flannel and a thrifted floral bedsheet. We will then go up to the kitchen and dye this piece apricot orange, on the stop top. Finally we add a fun collection of patches that are cut from various other thrifted materials. Voila', an eclectic and whimsical spring duster on a dime! Hope you enjoy!

Wow!! What a transformation!! And my style!! My kids think at 65 I should be wearing polyester pants and tops… no! I love this!! (And no I don’t wear polyester, lol!)❤❤
Lol!!🤗💞💞💞💞
I can't wear it..at all...
I’m 56 & my kids always, well my 16 year old granddaughter that I’ve raised, would tell me that I wasn’t wearing that granny gown. She’s the seamstress & clothes maker in the family.
Same here😅. 62 and probably wearing even more fun items as I age! ❤
Toll. Ganz mein Stil 😊😊😊😊😊
Traci you turned straw into gold once again.
Awww thank you!🤗💞💞💞💞
The original garment is something I wouldn't look twice at in the charity shop, but Oh Wow! What you did with it! That really is a new life for a frumpy garment. So good.
Thank you so much!!!🤗💞💞💞💞
Doesn’t look anything like it did! I know i hated it now I love it lol
I did not have any faith on this project when the video started. By the modeling time was in total shock of how gorgeous this turned out!!!!
Aww I appreciate that so much!🤗💞💞💞
I'm obsessed. I've lost 40lbs (my husband lost 65lbs) over the last 2 yrs and we have a closet full of 'fat clothes' I was going to donate. Now I'm going to upcycle every piece. Thanks for sharing.
Congratulations on your weight loss journey! I'm so glad you are inspired to repurpose what you already have...have fun!!!🤗💛💛💛💛
The infamous house coat turned out so amazing! I love the Godet/triangle inserts, flannel trim and patch work that you did. The transformation from blue to orange took this duster to infinity and beyond.
Awww thank you!!!🤗💞💞💞💞
You amazed me on this one Traci. I didn't think you would turn that into a treasure but you did. Love you and thankyou.
Thank you so much!!🤗💞💞💞💞
I’ve waited for you all morning Tracy!!! I’m not even finished with the video. Just had to tell you how much you’ve inspired me. I also have the same sewing machine!❤❤❤❤❤❤
Awww I appreciate that so sooooo much!!🤗💖💖💖💖💖
You, my friend, are a visionary. How you put the patterns, colors, and designs together are amazing.💥
Thank you!!!🤗💞💞💞💞
Our Dear Ms. Myers: using this combination of fabrics together: Briiliant!
Thank you so so much 🤗💞💞💞💞
So much fun. I am loving your channel. Your inspiration has given me "permission" to finally do some things that I've never dared to do before. I love sewing clothing, but I hate patterns and am not a perfectionist. I finally feel like i can be creative and enjoy my machine !!! TY. Can not wait to try something like this.
You sound just like me regarding patterns and perfectionism! Thank you so much for reaching out, this is exactly how want everyone to feel...free to have fun and do exactly as they please!🤗💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
I kind of liked the blue duster in its original form, I know I’m weird😅 But it looks awesome after your ministrations! 😊
🤗💞💞💞
This is an amazing transformation. I really didn’t think that it could possibly become cute. Forgive me for ever doubting your ability to make anything into a work of art. You are amazing.
Lol!!! Thank you so so much 🤗💞💞💞💞
SO BOHO BEAUTIFUL ! Just my style. Tracy you are a pearl in the oyster bed of life ❤
Awwwww that is so sweet! Thank you 🤗🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
Oh my holy heck! You totally turned that frog into a prince Traci!
I was wondering how you'd do it!!!
Fantastic! 🎉
Brenda 🪻
Awww!! Thank you so much!🤗💞💞💞💞
Tracey, you are incredibly brave in what you do, long live.....
Thank you 🤗💕💕💕
Oh my! This may be my favorite so far. I have never seen an elastic collar like that one. Going thrifting...😻
Have fun!!!🤗💞💞💞
I just love your latest creation, Traci! Your fabric, dye and trim magic is so inspiring! Your videos make my day every time you post something new!
Awww thank you so much!🤗💞💞💞💞
OMG! Who would have ever thought....except you, Traci genius! It is absolutely adorable.
Aww thank you so so much 🤗💞💞💞💞
You amaze me, turning something that is ugly, into something beautiful.
Thank you so much 🤗🧡🧡🧡🧡
Omg!!! You are so talented !!! Love, love love your designs !!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thank you so much 🤗💕💕💕💕
If you measure the sides of garment where you are putting in the godet instead of straight down the middle you'll get the right length. It's how I do it when I make bell bottom jeans.
Thank you 🥰🥰🥰🥰
The triangle stretches because the side edges are cut at an angle, similar to the bias, which is a 45 degree angle. Angled edges always stretch some. So that’s why. If you used pins and put the triangle piece on top, it might stretch less. Or you could stay stitch, a straight stitch along the side edges of the triangle, before you sew the edges to your gown. But it is not necessary because it’s beautiful as it is! Xox, Bonnie
Thank you!🤗💞💞💞💞
It also helps to sew from the bottom to top, widest to narrower.
W-O-W, Tracy! What an amazingly creative duster. You have MAD skills.
Awww thank you!!🤗🧡🧡🧡
Sometimes i just go to a garage sale after church on a Sunday ... when they're trying to get rid of everything. Today i grabbed 13 clothing items knowing that i could add to them (as you've done here Traci), subtract from them (make a men's jacket smaller) or multiply them (by cutting them into pieces and using those in various projects). Altogether i paid $20. I can donate whatever i don't use. Enough math for a Sunday!
Traci here's an idea I'm working on. I would really appreciate seeing you try it. I'd learn so much! I'm trying to make a 'shacket' out of a large flannel shirt. To add warmth and make the inside slippery so it's easier to put on over a long-sleeved shirt, i want to line it with a very lightweight polyester jacket or shirt.i think you could make that work more intuitively than i. Then of course I'll add patches or ruffles a la Traci 😊
Sounds like you're having fun!!! A shacket idea might have to wait for fall, I'm doing spring and summer right now🤗💗💗💗💗💗
Good point! I'm just stuck with the shacket I've been trying for 2 months!
Thank you for all your tips for dying fabrics, they are so helpful. And another amazing duster with such vibrant colors! Always beautiful results!
I appreciate that so much, thank you 🤗💕💕💕💕
I've been getting alot of video suggestions for boho, vintage tutorials but none compares to your channel Traci! You are the most talented and sweetest too!
Awww that means sooo much to me, thank you 🤗🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
Very unusual ! How much imagination do you have Tracy!!! And so fast! Wow !!! Thank you for the inspiration!🌹🌼👍
Thank you so much!🤗💗💗💗💗
Absolutely fabulous! Thank you for another really inspiring video! ❤😊
Aww, my pleasure!🤗🧡🧡🧡
It's super cute🧡🧡🧡I would never have thought to dye it orangey but it looks so great!!!!
Thank you so much 🤗💕💕💕💕
This is so cool! I need to remember that I can dye my upcycling to make the color cohesive. It looked shabby chic after the dyeing and ruffles. Then it looked more bohemian after the patches. Looks great both ways.
Yes! That is why I started dying, so many projects have a hodge podge of materials and its a wonderful way to make everything cohesive!🤗💕💕💕💕💕
Ohhhhh, I love it!! It turned out better than I expected…..
Thank you so much 🤗💞💞💞💞
So very special. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent. 😊❤
Awww thank you, my pleasure 🤗💞💞💞💞
wow i love watching your creations, you are so creative thankyou for sharing, can you please do some patch balloon pants next pretty please
Thank you so much! I will see what I can come up with 🤗💕💕💕
What a great idea on the nightgown. I was given 5 or 6 sample books of furniture material. I can't wait to use.
🤗🧡🧡🧡🧡
You are soooooo creative! I love your projects!!
Thank you so much!🤗💞💞💞💞
Traci, I'm jealous of your huge beautiful work space!!
Aww thank you so much, it's been a long time coming. I worked from my kitchen table for many years.🤗🧡🧡🧡🧡
Who'd ever think the gown that you started with could possibly turn into such a beautiful garment! Love love love it! This may be one of my all-time favs that I've seen you do! ❤
Awww thank you so much!!!🤗🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
Looks great, Traci! Thank you so much for sharing!❤
My pleasure!🤗🧡🧡🧡🧡
Okay I want a masterclass with you Tracie! That ugly house coat is exactly the type of thing I CAN find in my thrift shops. BUT to take shirts bleach them, dye the housecoat and take those non related scraps for patches- I couldn’t see it in my head to even think of it! GURL!!!❤
Awww thank you so very much!!!🤗💕💕💕💕
Another masterpiece!!! Oh my goodness, SO beautiful and creative! You truly are a genius. Thank you for continuing to share your gift. 💕
Awww that is so sweet, thank you 🤗🧡🧡🧡🧡
@@tmyershandmade978 You're welcome. 💕
This is beautiful Tracy, thank you ❤
My pleasure!🤗💞💞💞💞
I like the house coat, but I would not have dyed it, leaving it bohemian with softer colors. When measuring triangles, i would have allowed for extra for length of hem of original robe and cut it on a slight curve. Definitely will try this, probably as gifts for daughter and granddaughter. Thanks!!!
I'm surprised you didn't cut the gown up and use the flowers for other projects. They look like your normal choice for that.
I might be in the minority but I would have worn the heck out of it before upcycling 😆I’m a sucker for a good floral print! But as always, you do great work!
Traci ...I love it.. going to give it a go.. I would of rounded that at bottom .. I kinda though you cut up.. 😮🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
Is the striped, tier dress you have on something you made? Found your site a few weeks ago and TOTALLY love it. Keep it up we are out here.
Thank you so much! No, the striped dress I bought while on a trip.🤗💞💞💞💞
@@tmyershandmade978 It looked beautiful with the duster in blue as well.
@@ellend7680 It did seem to work together lol🤗💞💞💞
0:19 That actually looks like a house dress to me. Although I’m technically the appropriate age for a house dress I still feel too young to wear them.
I freaking love this❤
Thank you!🤗💞💞💞💞
Wows that’s just beautiful ❤.
Thank you!!🤗💖💖💖
Another beautiful work of art
Thank you so so much 🤗🧡🧡🧡🧡
I really like this. Only I really don’t like orange. Thank you for a great tutorial.
Oh hell nah, I’m not wearing that night robe, nor at 56, not at 76. Let’s see what you’re going to turn this into.
Wow did you really just make that with a nightgown!!!!!!!!!
YOU ARE PHENOMENAL!
Thank you so much 🤗💖💖💖
😮😮😮 WOW WOW WOW!!!
What a transformation. I love 🧡💙 the orange and blue together.
Tracy… thank you sooo sooo much for the advice at minute 5:19!! 💖
Awww my pleasure 🤗🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
Thank you Traci, you solved a dilemma for me today, sleeves. Getting older my arms are now wider and it is impossible to wear some items. To enlarge sleeves is a true problem without distorting the item and today I found the answer to make a very effective way to make them wider. Now I see that triangle creates a much wider sleeve, hooorrrayyyy!!! Your gown looks incredible! xx💖💖💖😻💕
Thank you so much!!! It is great trick for widening sleeves🤗💗💗💗💗💗
Haha, had to laugh at original item. Love how it all took beautiful dye colour! That sleeve ruffle trim was outstanding. Much happiness at conquering frumpy❤🎯❤
Thanks so much!🤗💞💞💞💞💞
🙆🏻♀️🙆🏻♀️🙆🏻♀️🤩🤩🤩👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🧞♀️🧞♀️🧞♀️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼FELICITACIONES!!!!!🤗🤗🤗🇺🇾
Another beautiful piece! I’ve made quite a few garments inspired by you. Thank you Tammy. 💚💚💚
Love that, thank you!🤗💞💞💞💞
Wow! Now I would love to wear something like that. It looks comfortable and beautiful at the same time. Not my mother's kind of house dress/duster that you started out with. However, she might have if she had ever seen one. Wonderful. Thank you.
Thank you!🤗💞💞💞
Я оболдеваю .....
Fantastic!! What a stunning fun piece you created! Just amazing how you transformed an ordinary night gown into this fantastical boho duster, Love it!!
I appreciate that so much!!!🤗🧡🧡🧡🧡
FABULOUS!!! ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!I love watching you and I've learned so much as you make it simple without high tech lingo!!!!❤ Thank you Soooooo
That means so much, thank you!!🤗💖💖💖💖
I just love how creative you are and when you die stuff, I think that's such a cool idea. Thank you so much TRACY and you're such a good teacher. I really love following your videos. They're so easy and enjoyable to understand.
Awww I appreciate that so much, thank you!🤗💕💕💕💕
You are amazing and we really enjoy your wonderful videos !
Adorable!!!!! I don't know why I'm surprised at how much I love the finished product....you never disappoint❤. My kids know I love this style...I just never have worn it much....look out rit dye....Tracy recommended this...lol.
Lol! Thank you so much 🤗💗💗💗💗
Absulutely gorgeous! Huge transformation from the nightgown. You have such talent for combining fabrics and colors. You look stunning in it!
Thank you so soooo much!!🤗🧡🧡🧡🧡
Oh my. I just love this.
Thank you!!🤗💕💕💕💕
Stunning duster!! 🎉❤ I am such a duster girl, this makes me so happy….As an experienced tie dyer who works with cold water procion dyes, I was shocked at how beautiful the blue tones dyed up in the orange dye bath…just wow!! 😮 The patches really make it pop too. I never thought I’d be headed to Goodwill to look for old nightgowns, but I am on a mission now for sure!! 😅❤❤❤ Your channel is such a treasure, thank you Traci!! Xxx
Awww I appreciate that so much, thank you 🤗💕💕💕💕💕
That looks beautiful! I’m surprised how well the orange dye covered the blue fabric. You are quite an inspiration! Thanks!
Thank you so much 🤗💕💕💕
Oh, my goodness! Now, I want one! Time to start sourcing. Thanks for all your inspo!!!
My pleasure, have fun!!🤗🧡🧡🧡🧡
I LOVE IT! You’re so awesome ms. Tmyers. I got the scissors off Amazon because I too have hand and wrist issues. Would you mind telling me your make, model of your machine and I see a different foot on it. Looks kinda of boxy on the back? I have an old machine and it’s getting time to replace it just in time for Mother’s Day. Just maybe well I’ll keep my fingers crossed. I totally love your style! Thank you Traci.
Hi, glad you got the scissors, I wish I would have gotten them years ago! My machine is a Brother LX3817. I've been using a walking foot, lately. 🤗🧡🧡🧡
Wow! Do you know, this is the first one of your vids that I have watched, and whole time I thought, "That's terrible! Oh I hate that colour! Oh dear, what is she doing now!!" But when you walked out at the end with it styled........??!! My jaw dropped!!! 😲 🤣🤣 That looks fantastic! You have an amazing talent to be able to have the vision for this. It's quite lovely. Well done. I am suitably humbled! Mx
Awww I appreciate that, thank you 🤗💞💞💞💞
Love your videos. Love watching you turn things into something beautiful.
I appreciate that so so much!🤗💞💞💞💞💞

Awww yay! I'm looking forward to a fun summer wardrobe, too!!!🤗💛💛💛💛💛
WoW ! Tracy ya know i first looked at that sad night hown & thought what could you possibly do with that & i didnt like the colour, then i thought what is wrong with me this woman performs miracles & then you did ...Again.. always....yr a STAR ! & you look amazing in it as always, that ensemble looks fantastic together ❤️ 😍 & i love the way you eyeball it & it just turns out like magic, i eyeball somthing & it comes out like ( something different ) 🤣🤣

Hello, hello! first off...I'm shock by how cute this turned out with what you started with! You never cease to amaze me! I've been watching and collecting for several months now and finally have the courage to start my 1st project. It's hard for me to just flow w/o a known end product but I'm ready to jump off and just create. I have some questions about specific dying techniques. Is there a way to message you directly verses taking up space here in your comments? thank you for inspiring all of us!
Aww best of luck to you! You can dm me on instagram: traci_myers
or my email (although, I don't check that as often) sctrmcgill@hotmail.com
I'm happy to help...if I can lol!🤗💕💕💕💕
Heh. Traci, FYI! Stitches by Julia posted 20hrs ago a new project. She is praising you and promoting your channel. I've watched her for several years, she is a lovely artist. I was thrilled to hear her say she admires your work.
Awwww thank you!!! I will go check it out now! 🤗💕💕💕💕💕
Another amazing transformation! I love it! I’ve been gathering some interesting garments from the thrift for future projects. Thanks for all your inspiration and for sharing your ideas! ❤ btw we have the same initials! Big hugs, Tracy Marshall ❤
Well, hi TM! Thank you for reaching out and for your kind words 🤗🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
Fabulous! You are so creative! From a pretty ugly housecoat (?) to a one-of -a-kind piece of wearable fabric art. I love this. Looks terrific on you. I couldn't believe how you kept adding and adding fabric to end up with a sensational creation. Thank you for sharing your creative brain.
I appreciate that so much, thank you!🤗💛💛💛💛
Love this Traci! Been doing lots of jean jackets lately... want to do a duster, more purses and definitely a coat made from a blanket, just haven't found the right blanket yet! I just love everything you do. Thank you again for giving us so much inspo!
Awww my pleasure, thank you for reaching out 🤗💖💖💖💖
About the godet's, they become larger at the ends because of magic 😂😂
Seriously, it corresponds to the angle of the original measuring of the circle, I just tried this with some paper cut from a circle. But who cares...excuse me tailors. I'm still trying to sew in a straight line.
Beautiful as usual, Your magical creativity sings to us 🎉
Lol! You're the best!!! Thank you for the smiles this morning 😅💛💛💛💛💛💛
WOW….you are awesome! I NEVER would have even looked at that blue house coat thing, and you made it SO GREAT. TFS 😊
Thank you so much!🤗💖💖💖💖
I just love how that turned out. Great Job !!! You give me inspiration to try this myself. I have supplies comming...lol
Yayyyy! Let us know how it goes!🤗🧡🧡🧡🧡
I love this; stunning 😍😊 Do you finish off the seam edges with a zig zag or overlock stitch?
Edges are raw for the most part, sometimes I finish with a zig zag😊💕💕
My brain couldn’t anticipate what this would become! Then…voila!…I would actually wear that!
Thank you!!🤗💛💛💛
😮❤🎉 Absolutely genius! You are so talented and humble. I love your videos, you brighten my day every time I see what you do. Thank you so much Traci 🌸❤️
Awwww thank you so so much!🤗🧡🧡🧡🧡
Just amazing Traci so in love with that look! Thank you for sharing this beauty.
Aww you are so sweet, my pleasure🤗💞💞💞💞
Another amazing transformation! I do not see how you even took a second look at the robe in the first place, lol! But you certainly made an amazing duster. I never would have thought of using orange but it worked out beautifully. I do so look forward to all your videos. Thank you so much for all of your creativity and inspiration! Can't wait to see what you do next. Carla
I appreciate that so much, thank you!!🤗💖💖💖💖
You are just a genius!
Aww thank you so much!!!🤗🧡🧡🧡🧡
I love this!!! I love how detailed you are when you explain how to do things!! You have so helped me get my confidence built up when I make things! I have made some purse and sold them on EBAY! I never would have had the confidence to do that had I not watched your videos. Thank you so much for wanting to help people!!!
Aww that makes me soooo happy!🤗💖💖💖💖
Traci ❣️ what a lovely duster! Looks so cool on you! I have a beautiful antique night gown I have been wanting to duster-fy.....it is only white and thinking which way to go with it.
Such a great video!
Duster-fy lol!!! Yes! Have fun🤗💖💖💖💖
Absolutely love this. I would never have thought to do this. You have opened my mind to possibilities. This is my next project 😀
Awww yayyy! Can't wait to see what you do!🤗💖💖💖💖
I learn something each time I watch you! Your smile and tone of voice always makes my heart glad!
Thank you for the way you share how you create. I always feel as though you are sharing with your friends, instead being a teacher talking down to her students. You are a gifted, encouraging and uplifting lady. I also appreciate that you use correct English!
Awww, thank you so so much! I feel like I'm having fun with friends, I'm so glad you feel it, too!!!!🤗💖💖💖💖
Traci, you look beautiful in this unique duster you’ve created. I can see you at 100 yrs old dressing like this 😂 great job. ❤
Thank you so much!🤗❤❤❤❤
This was truly awesome. The transformation was incredible. I really admire your artistic imagination!!🌻
I appreciate that so much, thank you 🤗🧡🧡🧡🧡
As always, I am impressed. The blue gown was ugly, boy oh boy, what a transformation of color, I love the apricot orange 😊❤
Thank you!🤗💖💛💖💛💖
Wow! After you dyed the fabric it looked so different! Thank you🤗💖
My pleasure 🤗💞💞💞
