Hey guys and welcome to a new thrift flip episode

through the magical power of my mediocre sewing skills

I get so many questions about how I find cool stuff at thrift stores and

While some of it is just me getting lucky

A lot of the times it comes down to me making small

Alterations to clothes so that they fit me well

and they look a little bit more modern and

I think I have some exciting stuff to transform for you guys today

So our first fashion victim is this fabulous

but it also has a little bit of gingham for my picnic-bitch heart

I honestly already think this dress is so cool,

but it is a little bit costumey for my everyday life

So I'm gonna make a couple small alterations today

to turn this into a little bit more of like a reformation inspired

The first thing I'm gonna tackle are these crazy sleeves

Now, I think on another type of dress that was more subdued

these sleeves would actually be a really cool statement

But I feel like with all the patchwork on the dress

that already exists having the patchwork sleeves as well

Makes it a little bit too loud for my taste

farewell beautiful sleeves. I shall see you in another life

by folding the fabric up about a quarter-inch

and then stitching all the way around to secure my hem

All right. So here is how the sleeves came out.

So, you know, at least they came out an even-ish length,

I decided to add a puff sleeve detail with this thin piece of elastic

I stretched the elastic around my arm to a tightness

I was comfortable with then cut two equal pieces of that length

Making sure that the halfway point on the elastic

matched up with the halfway point on the sleeve

So it would be gathered evenly all the way around

I'm sewing a straight line across each elastic

The key is to stretch out the elastic as you sew

Stretch out the elastic more so that once the elastic contracts back to its non stretched state

the sleeve fabric will look nice and gathered like so

to put the finishing touches on this dress

I think this crossover design is a really cool concept

It feels a little bit arts and craftsy to me

replacing it with this white frilly ribbon I got from Joanne's

I like that the plain white was simple enough

especially with the gingham as the background

But the ruffles still gave it some dimension and texture

I sewed a simple straight stitch over each piece

Originally, I planned on keeping the gold buttons,

but at this point I felt like the design was still too busy

So I removed them and saved them in my button stash for another project

its transformation from 20th century Oktoberfest

to 19th century milkmaid is at last complete,

As you might be able to tell by my excessive amount of twirling

and it makes me feel like a Disney character

By the way, Disney, I am still available for the role of Mushu

just putting that out there into the universe

these cardigans that I've been seeing all over Instagram

I think they sell versions of them in urban outfitters

I've also seen them at fancy boutiques for like $200
