Went thrifting again 🛍
Found 4 sweaters that I’ll unravel for yarn 🧶
and 2 cozy blankets I’m keeping for myself ❤️
All that for just 165 UAH (~$4)!

Thrifted wool sweater ➡️ too damaged to unravel
So now it’s a blanket for my cat 🐈🧶
At least she loves it 😅❤️

I bought a sweater... just to destroy it.

Thrifted sweater ➡️ 211g (7.4 oz) of yarn

Can’t wait to use this new color! ❤️

Never mind the thrift flop bollocks, here's a FAST FASHION FLIP! 🧵

This is a completely restored sequined bag I got from a fleamarket for a couple of euros.

The bag, originally from Zara, was poorly stitched together and none of the inside seams were finished.

The flimsy frayed satin lining had so much static cling, it was icky to touch. So were the ugly plastic handles. 😬

The bag also couldn't be washed because of the cardboard uh... "interfacing".

The nasty foam plastic material inside reminded me of meat trays. Ew!

The whole interior needs to go in the trash!

Let's sew! 🧙‍♀️

First I completely restitched the bag's sequined exterior, cut off the fraying excess material and finished all seams with a short zigzag stitch.

Then I carefully washed it by hand. Sequins get surprisingly dirty over time and after the wash, they sparkled like brand new!

Meanwhile I made a new lining and straps from thick and sturdy bridal satin leftovers.

I stitched the new straps onto the seam allowance by going back and forth several times to secure them firmly in place before folding it over.

Because satin is so slippery, I had to stitch the seam allowance down before pinning it to the outer bag.

Then I attached the lining by hand with tiny stitches.

The handles stitched to the sturdy lining won't put strain on the sequined material, which makes this bag last a long time.

So happy with the neat finish! 🎉

Another bag I made from a thrifted scarf.

It's so easy, it's almost self-explanatory. The ends with the fringe are cut off to make the bag, the middle part of the scarf is used for the handles.

My favourite part of taking that video of myself, last week - for today’s ‘It’s All in the Details’ video, was being able to see what my bun looks like, from behind — so cute!! 🤩🥰👏

Not sure why, but the final video cropped the top of my head off, which was complete in the original. 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

I love how adding small details, can make such a difference. 👏
And it’s another way to enjoy creating with thread! 🧵

#ThriftFlip for an awarding ceremony I attended for work. The dresses cost 18 USD and the outfit took me 2 nights to make. I used a pattern from a local designer for the top and the skirt is self-drafted. I was a bit apprehensive about wearing this to a fancy event at Marriott but it turned out okay, all seams intact! #Sewing #DIY #SustainableFashion

Completed outfit with a shimmery purple corset and a floral skirt with half the inner lining slashed from the skirt to give it a more balanced effect

Quick #ThriftFlip -- I do a lot of thrifting and I got this random dress as a freebie. Loved the print and fabric but the style is obviously not me, so I turned it into a crop top and loose pants! I followed a YouTube tutorial for the latter, turns out you can turn any skirt into pants if you're brave enough.

Before: Outdated purple plaid dress with cap sleeves. Church vibes. After: sleeveless crop top and loose pants coordinates.

Je vois beaucoup de gens partager des astuces pour personnaliser ses vêtements, mais je vois très rarement parler de simplement changer les boutons.

En particulier j’aime l’esthétique gremlincore/goblincore/corvidcore et j’ai plein de boutons (de récup et de vide greniers principalement) et j’aime changer les boutons des vêtements pour rendre l’ensemble plus joli/intéressant. J’aime notamment les boutons dépareillés. Pas forcément des gros boutons colorés, juste des boutons différents.

Ici un gilet en laine trouvé à Emmaüs, qui est mon gilet doudou d’intérieur, formidable vêtement, mais dont les boutons étaient … plutôt moches ?
J’étais limité par la taille des boutonnières, et je n’avais pas envie de les élargir, les boutons sont donc environ du même diamètre (ou un peu plus fins si ils sont plus larges) mais j’aime beaucoup le rendu 💚

(Oui les boutons sont déjà décousus sur le « avant », j’avais oublié de faire une photo)

I have some shirt remnants, I’ve made a cushion cover out of some of it, I’m planning on turning the rest of it into a cat blanket.

I was wondering if anyone had project suggestions for the sleeves?

I’d love to be able to use the whole shirt.

I was thinking about maybe an infinity scarf, but don’t think they’ll be long enough

Und endlich ist es fertig!
Wenn man nur bedingt Stoff zur Verfügung hat, wird ganz schön viel überlegt und gepuzzelt bevor irgendwas zerschnitten und dann genäht wird. Aber ich bin sehr zufrieden mit dem Resultat und hab noch einiges gelernt unterwegs... Prinzessnähte, was für praktische kleine Dinger. 🫣😊🥰😍
