    For the sleeves, I also tried to sew elastic around them so they hug my arms more but it still looked funny lol. I CHALLENGE YOU GUYS to take 2 old tshirts you have at home and see what crazy creation you end up with! Also thumbs up if you want more t-shirt reconstruction videos! :)

      It would be so refreshing if we saw more body type friendly transformations (like in your fashion show)! Honestly, I'll never be I'll to wear most of what you sew. I realize that is the beauty of making your own things, but it's a bit discouraging for us beginners.

      coolirpa oh, challenge accepted! You are definitely an inspiration and I am curious what I can make out of two t shirts! I love your videos, keep up the fantastic work, and I am so excited to see where your passion takes you! 💕

      Rebekah Navarro agreed! I can't wear tops that basically require no bra, as I have too big of a bust to be able to pull it off. I'm also just starting as well

      Annika! :D It always surprises me to see comments from youtubers I love in the videos of other youtubers I love lol Like Tam T said, it would be really cool if you did a video :) Actually I would love to see you treat this like a tag, and also do something completely on your own based on the challenge of using 2 shirts. I would love to see your creativity on what you'd do :) You and April are both so creative and so awesome, and what's fun is you have different styles so it would be cool to see other ideas too. Either way, I hope you're having a good day!

    Gotta say I love how down to earth you are in your videos. No flashy cinematography, no flashy filters, no clipping together a bunch of blurbs to seem extra witty or funny - just you talking, explaining, sharing, and admitting when things don't go according to plan or what you would do differently next time. As a viewer, it makes me feel much more comfortable watching your tutorials than a lot of other beauty/fashion videos.

    That reconstructed blouse looks like something we might have worn during the 60's but especially the 70's! If you want to embellish further, around the area on the sleeves where the sleeve meets the flourish, I'd put a 1' to 2 inch ribbon in a boho ethnic design, in keeping with the "boho" feel of the blouse. Very creative and sweet looking on you!

  • @theresanovak4199
    @theresanovak4199 7 років тому +8

    You inspired me! I am going to make the crossover one, with the diagonal cut higher, so it's suitable for office wear. I will remove the sleeves and make 3/4- length ones that have a slightly gathered seam down the arm. I likely will need 3 tees. Thanks for the idea!

  • @littlelier1997

    I'm early. But that wasn't what I was going to write I just wanted to say that you are my biggest inspiration to be crafty and to sew. I have admired you from a distance but I subscribed and haven't regret it at all. You are so creative and basically perfect. Please read this! It would mean so much!

    I like it - kind of hippie. I dont mind the wide sleeves - I cant wear bare mid section so I'd probably wear a tank under it. Still - very cute. Maybe this could be modified with 2 different t-shirts to make it fun and funky.
