    Hi, I'm Wendy, and I have been on a sewing journey ever since my mom taught me how to make little outfits for my dolls. I studied engineering and business, had an office job for two years, and then quit to embark on a lifelong sewing adventure on UA-cam. Subscribe to join me on the adventure, and maybe make your own clothing too! Thanks for watching ❤️

    Can you do an up cycle with a difficult fabric like silk? I love going to the thrift store and finding quality fabrics that would otherwise be pricy but I don't trust myself to alter them for fear of ruining them 😓

  • @emiliemrsk2510
    @emiliemrsk2510 5 років тому +35

    That last top 😯🤯 I’ll definitely try to recreate that one. I have several plain boring slightly oversized tshirts I never really use - this could be a cute way to upgrade and use them instead of just buying new pieces!

    That sweatshirt was so easy and creative! What a great a way to give a favorite item new life. Thanks for showing us how to clone an existing top (even if that wasn't intended) and for stressing the importance of not assuming all knit work the same.

    A really cool way to both reduce grey in your wardrobe and go on an adventure would be to try out natural plant dyes (like walnut or indigo)! I'd love to see you give it a go!

    Maybe you should get a tube turner maybe not but you definitely need a bodkin. I bought a bodkin and it changed my life. sometimes there is an invention that changes the world and for me it is a bodkin (and a tofu press).

    That tube top is so cute! I have a t shirt I bought at the thrift store cause I loved the color (it’s rust) but I don’t love the t shirt itself so it may be becoming a new top now. I’d make thicker straps for me though just because I like thicker straps. I’m not much of a spaghetti strap kind of person.

  • @madeinmichigan6773
