WOW!!! This is such an inspiration piece! You have taken something basic and the scarves with meaning from your past and turned it into a VERY High End top that would have cost you hundreds of dollars in the shops. You get a standing ovation from me! Well Done!
Thank you so much! I really love this sweater as well - simple, yet effective, can be dressed up and down. I love when clothing can be personal, with a story and wearable, as well :) Thank you, Linda!
Thank you, Nancy! I think I am going to get a ton of wear from this one this season and many upcoming ones as well, I am so happy that I got to reuse the scarves and make something special!
Thank you so much for your videos!! You have really inspired me to create garments for myself!! I have a hard time finding clothes that fit me just right and I am thrilled to be able to custom make some for myself. I have sewn very little since I was a kid in 4H, but it is coming back to me!! I wanted to add a tip that is working like a dream for me. Because I am relatively inexperienced with sewing, I have been using landscape fabric to make test garments. I can get 4ftx50 yards of it at the local home improvement store for around $7 and it can be sewn on a machine. SO I can make a really cheap mock up to make sure the pattern is correct. I have taken to cutting the patterns out of the landscape material as it is easier to pin through than the paper I was using. Thought I would share with everyone. Can't wait to see what the next projects would be!
That sweater is lovely and so are you. Thank you for all your inspiration and wisdom. I am improving and may post a video of my creations someday with a shout-out to you and the other kind folks on UA-cam that make sewing a fun hobby.
That is lively, almost looks like you have a tank top on top of a beautiful lace top except the cuffs bringing it together. Fabulous. Plus it really suits you. 😍
Oh Alisa, you are so tiny and talented! You can take a brown paper bag and make it beautiful on you 🤩 I’m so glad did demonstrate putting knit and something non stretchy together because I actually tried it only because that’s the two fabrics I wanted together (because I don’t like showing my arms) not because I knew what I was doing 😆🤪 but, it came out ok 🤷🏻♀️and I wore it to my friends son’s wedding.
Noooooooo, a paper bag would still be a paper bag on me, lol :) thank you for a sweet comment! Yeah, gotta be careful when working with knits and woven in one garment, just have to keep in mind the ease, and the properties of the garment, what needs the stretch and what does not, what stitch to sew it with, but other than that - it is doable :)
I love how you're making more upcycling / altering videos. In this age of massive consumerism, wastage and climate change, many of us have lots of clothes that we don't wear. It's nice to learn proper techiques to upcycle those clothes, instead of the dubious methods employed by content creators who have hardly any knowledge about tailoring.
You remind me so much of myself when I was your age. Putting this sleeve on that dress, making jackets out of drapes, and so much more. I just love your enthusiasm and your getting the message out there to try something new. Especially when it involves scraps. Well done, a really nice make.
Wonderful sweater! I love your projects, and this is a winner. I love it, and the way you explain your project is perfect even for beginners. Thank you! 😀
Wow! That is so beautiful. It looks really good on you. This is timely because I received a small amount of sheer fabric and I have been playing around with the idea of using it for sleeves on a knit top. Now I am going for it! Thanks. 😍😍 Awesome job
Absolutely lovely - well done! I really like that you share your thought process and the challenges you face along the way. Thank you for your videos. A really great result. 👍.
Gorgeous! Thanx for doing the hard part...the thinking, for us! I ❤ the combo of lace with knit. 😊 Definitely going to make one similar to this one, as well as your cardigan! You inspire creativity! 🤗

Standing ovation is right!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻bravo 😁💐
Exactly! Well said.
And the lace seam looks like it's been French seamed anyway!
I think this project is LOVELY! WMF the fact that your mom made that lace ❤ special! Great job!
Alisa........Drum Roll!!!!!
It's another...Home Run!!
Beautiful!
Thank you, Nancy! I think I am going to get a ton of wear from this one this season and many upcoming ones as well, I am so happy that I got to reuse the scarves and make something special!

You're right- very special, I am glad I used up the scarf and the fabric remnant in this way :)

I zeroed in on that woven/knit combo right away! I was like "uh-uh"! I've wanted to try! Thanks for demonstrating thinking outside the box!
Spectacular! I've always avoided knit material but this has inspired me to step out of my comfort zone.
It’s absolutely gorgeous! 😍
Wow! That is so beautiful. It looks really good on you. This is timely because I received a small amount of sheer fabric and I have been playing around with the idea of using it for sleeves on a knit top. Now I am going for it! Thanks. 😍😍 Awesome job
