  • How fun! In this DIY video, we will be upcycling a pair of vintage men's bib overalls and turning them into a one of a kind piece of wearable art! With easy to follow instructions, we will be distressing, bleaching, patching and adding butterfly and flower appliques for a one of a kind creation. I have a new fun resource to share with you for large whimsical applique! These unique overalls are a perfect way to jazz up your own wardrobe or make and sell (like I did for over a decade).

    I have been watching your channel for only about 2 weeks. And I love it. You are so talented. You really are blessed for your talent. You make just what I love. Boho hippie vintage to. Kinda all put together and it’s beautiful. Now I need to know where do you go to see and shop some. But I am a size 14 to 16. And tall. But your talent is amazing. Thanks for being on you tube so I can see all the beautiful things you make. And you do it like it’s so easy. And at ease. One show I was watching you were making a skirt. Black and I think it had a little white. Not sure. But you said you made a mistake and you had to take off where the was some ruffling on it. And it didn’t bother you at all. You just redone it. But that’s good to so we can see how it is for y’all to that has these shows on you tube. It helps me. I am just starting sewing a little. And you have made it for me to really want to keep it up. And learn how to relax and enjoy. Thank you ma’am.

    So Wonderful! Thank you for showing "how to" videos.
    I am one that has been afraid to chop down a garment and never knowing what to do next. You have been an inspiration as I watch your videos, it's helped me to have confidence and to go ahead and cut away, so what! it's a thrift find, right! . I have always loved the boho layered look and now I can create my own. I'm seeing that over time, I can just take my garment and create away and on a whim at times, right now I'm slow moe........ it's a ok.
    No one out there has been so consistent with the same looks..... I'm parking myself right here at your video side. 😉💞

They make wonderful beach wrap skirts and beach dusters because of the water resistance in the fabric and it drys fast.😊 in Most of them... the fabric is soft.
