This was extremely helpful. I thrift a lot of my clothes and I like them when I try them on, but then when I get them home I never want to wear them. But I’ve been thinking that maybe I could tailor them for me. So I am looking to do men’s shirts into tunic dresses and also cut the neckline to be more feminine on some of the men’s shirts and also add more room to a some tight fitting shirts like you showed today thank you so much🥰

I’ve actually just recently started doing upscales on my clothes that are a bit too small or too snug for my comfort. I’ve actually seen online some others doing upscales as well. So your not alone in what you do. Your upscale is a little bold for my taste, but, it works! You can mix patterns as long as both fabrics have the same colors in them. It came out well, thank you for your tutorial on upscales.

My past sewing experience consists of parachute harnesses and canopy repair for a parachute rigger's license. I bought a t-shirt commercially that had a quotation I liked and it was too small. So instead of having another larger t-shirt printed with the same caption I actually bought a singer sewing machine and some red fabric so I could insert a gusset (like your striped blouse) into the shirt I have. The t-shirt and the gusset are all the same solid red so it'll be much easier.

I think there are more upsizing videos since Covid, since staying home too much makes people's clothes shrink. 😉 But more videos are great! I have a few shirts that I have loved to transparency in the armpit and undersleeve area and I could use your technique to give them more life. 🥰They still fit, I would just trim out the thin fabric and replace it with a fresh panel.

My teen error was adding triangle insert to make my jeans bell bottoms and I used a red and white striped fabric but did not pay attention to which way the lines went and ended up with two horizontal ND two vertical but luckily sewed them on, by pure chance that when seen from the side they matched. In other words the inside left leg insert was horizontal matching with the outside ride leg and visa-versa. Not bad for a ten year old, haha.

Definitely keep doing videos lik this! I’ve seen others here and there but since there can be a lot of difference in how it’s done (I would never have thought of that heart insert for instance, so clever!) I’d love to keep finding/watching videos like these. This one was very easy to follow and I love how both turned out! As for your question, yes, I started making my own pj’s in this one style I loved and I can make one with two shirts. The first one I did with interfaces (iron on) and a curved V neckline (like the upper part of the heart shape would be pulled/stretched out like a V but keep it’s curves, is there a name for that one?). I also make summer dresses out of that very thin woven cotton fabric used for baby diapers, tetra fabric, although I don’t know if that is the universal name for it. Easy pattern (more like no pattern really) and awesome to wear. Own design too although it’s simplicity makes me suspect I’m not the first to create it I’m at the beginning of upcycling something now actually. Have this awesome home wear or loungewear 2piece that is 4 to 5 sizes too small. Since I’m not all that fond of pants in this material the choice was easy to make. The sweater/cardigan (can’t com up with the name atm but those with a zipper all the way through) is already cut, wanted to test out whether it would ge doable or not. Very, very challenging as it is with those waistslimming lines that go frome armpit to buste and down with a curved line, in my language it would translate to “princess lines” but I don’t recall hearing that name so elaborate description it is lol) but at least it is in that fluffy microfiber fabric so it might come out beautifully. And if not I will definitely wear it often enough at home that all the hassle, trouble and fiddling will be worth it. I’m cutting into my pants while watching this video. Watching these sort of videos is pleasant entertainment if nothing else while I’m doing my thing but I think I might even learn something or gain more confidence in my skills while I’m busy.

Yes, I love to upsize things that are favs that are too snug! Love both of these ideas. My biggest thing is that i'm 5'2" and have to buy things that are XXL or Plus and they never fit well at all. Sleeves will be too long and the length is often too long and the armpits are to big and show my bra. When I weight 75lbs less, I could shop for clothes easily, but putting on all this extra weight has made clothes shopping a nightmare. Many clothing manufacturers think "petite" means small and cute....well it doesn't! heheh sorry it's just always been so annoying to have so many things fit so poorly. Pants always needing to be hemmed, etc. So yes, I'm totally into fashing resizing and redos.

I like the heart but the same thing could have been done with a much smaller lace gore in the back. It would have saved you some lace that way. I like the length of the black shirt on you as is. Growing up I hated the chore of ironing. But since I started sewing, I now find ironing soothing. There's just something nice about a crisp edge.

In my oldie but goodie blouse upsizing tutorial kzitem.info/news/bejne/pW2nzW2wf2ZnrII I used a smaller triangle of lace & found it didn't give me the extra space I needed (& that was before my chest grew even bigger 🤣) so I went with a larger/wider shape this time & it absolutely did the trick! I think I have such an aversion to ironing as it was one of the many, many chores that I was forced to do from a very young age but it definitely helps to have a crisp edge when stitching sometimes so I convince myself to do it when needed 😊

You could try using triangle shaped inserts on the sides to keep the top part nearly the same size but widen the bottom of the blouse - for reference, I used a triangle insert to upsize this top in the back: kzitem.info/news/bejne/pW2nzW2wf2ZnrIIsi=FWtsdSdWroFNdkJk

Excellent tutorial Sheri, thanks for showing the two options. Looking for alternative fabric for upgrading my shirt, I discovered orphaned knee length socks are a good resource. They are the same length as my side seam, good stretchy fabric and will launder well. And they come prehemmed.

You asked for it! I have a pair of hot pink child's size snow pants with a bib on them that I need to be a few inches wider from the waist to the mid leg. They are way too tight in the hips! I opened them up and was going to insert a long triangle piece of fabric of duck cloth. they are supposed to be waterproof and wind proof. I am also stumped by the bib. the upper part is fine. I don't want to enlarge that part. I kinda wanted to keep the upper bib part of these snowpants. They have 3 layers and 1 is fiberfill stuff. its really daunting. im not a great sewist yet i know basic stuff. what do you suggest? can you do a tutorial on this?
@RefashionistaSheri
Жыл бұрын
hmmm...I wouldn't actually attempt to upsize thick winter wear as it would destroy my poor old machine & thrift/charity shops are full of awesome winter gear at this time of year😂⛄that said, adding the triangular inserts to widen the top of the pants is absolutely the way to go 🧵 If the upper part of the bib is fine I'm not understanding what the issue is as widening the sides of the pants shouldn't affect the bib at all. If you want to lengthen the bib then I would suggest removing it where it connects to the pants (I'm guessing at the waist area - snow pants come in many different styles so I'm not sure) and then simply add a strip of fabric to the bottom of the bib and reattach it. 😊♻️✂️

Not at all a stupid question (I'm not an expert either, I just have a huge refashionista imagination 😆). If the sleeves are also too tight then you can indeed chop all the way through the side & sleeve seams & then add the inserts.
