So I'm up to episode number 10 of Make Thrift Buy (!) and I've somehow managed to do 2 cat-themed things already. Well, this is the internet after all.
I've been on the lookout for loose-fitting black dresses in op-shops for months now so that I could try to make this Dolls Kill pinafore/dress! Retailing for a somewhat ridiculous $119, I thought that I could probably recreate it for somewhat cheaper. I reaaaally like how it turned out. Anyway, have a watch & enjoy! And please keep those amazing suggestions for new challenges coming!
p.s. for people without overlockers, I added a whole bunch of tips for sewing stretch fabrics to the video description.
Love,

Great tutorial :) Can't believe the original dress costs $119!

A tip for people without overlockers: I once was sewing a dress and I had the same "stretchy hem curling up" problem. I didn't even think about overlocking it, and if I did it would have made the fabric worse. So I grabbed a piece of wax paper and some old hairspray and gave the hem a good spray, waited for it to dry, ironed it, and then attempted to sew it. And it made it a lot easier! :)
ReplyDeleteThat's an awesome tip, thank you so much for sharing! I'm going to add it to the video description if you don't mind :)

DeleteThe dress looks fabulous and oh so cute - love it!
ReplyDeleteVery nice dresses, love it,and the price is alluring.
ReplyDeleteThis looks adorable!! I love anything with animals on it, I cant wait to try it out.
ReplyDeleteIf there was a such thing as "adorably unique," I think this would be apart of the category. Cats are "wearing on me" as of late. By the way, your DIY's are cool. I like that they take risk and that they're easy to re-create.

It turned out great!! I need to start sewing on pockets onto my things
ReplyDeleteI love your DIY's! ♥
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if you had any ideas of what to make with old tights. I have so many with rips and holes in them. Tights last so little D:
Socks! I have made a couple of old tights that were pretty colours into socks - I just cut them shorter ;)
