This is Fantastic, Such Creativity! Great Seamstress Skills, Thank You!

I am BEYOND jealous!!

You are a most talented seamstress indeed! Proud of you and your dedication to this inspiring skill.

Exactly what I was thinking. Light years ahead of me!

Mad skills she has! I've sewn all my life, and watching her so skillfully make magic, on a sewing machine that is most likely over 100 years old that she keeps in top condition, is making me smile so hard my face hurts! She is so talented, to me it's like watching a professional artist create a painting. I know that's an old, old machine, because I have a Singer that's very similar and it's dated 1917. I'm hoping that machine was an heirloom from the person who taught her sewing skills when she was a child. It's a thing of beauty! My grandmother gave me my first machine when I was eleven, her old workhorse White. My mom was afraid I'd sew my finger, but Memaw told her I'd be fine. I was, and made most of my clothes in high school on that machine, along with dozens of gifts for family and friends. It didn't have a buttonhole feature, so I had to use my mom's fancy machine for that, which she didn't like. I started using pearl gripper snaps on my shirts and dresses to avoid buttonholes, it became kind of my "trademark". For high school graduation, I got a brand new top of the line Singer machine! I was thrilled, and literally wore that machine out over the next 20 years. I absolutely LOVE that wonderful YT creators like this one are making sewing cooler than ever! I also thank shows like "Project Runway" for getting young people of any gender excited about creating wearable art. Happy sewing, y'all!!

No, she took a perfectly good pair of jeans and destroyed them. Yes, it's cute, but it's wasteful. I used to make things out of old jeans too, but I used jeans with holes in them, not a nice pair of jeans that still had good use.

@@sandangels73 I get what you're saying, but these jeans aren't designer, and though I love the front pockets (real pockets!) the style tells me those jeans are not stylish today. They look exactly like what I wear all the time, and I'm in my 60s and raise goats and chickens and rarely see another human. I buy all my clothes at thrift stores, and I can buy jeans like that for $1 all day long, which is cheaper than denim fabric off the bolt. If I'm going to put my time and creativity into a project, I'm not using fabric that's full of holes, especially not for such a precious little dress! That makes no sense. You'd probably hate what I do with antique handmade quilt blocks I find at estate sales. I don't make them into quilts, I make bowl cozies with them. The quilt block on top, and vintage denim from old jeans for the bottom of the bowl. I double top stitch the edge with the same gold thread used on Levis (exact same, I bought that many years ago from an ex employee of Levi factory that shut down in my hometown). I usually give them as gifts, but I sell them for $20 each and no one balks at that.

Haha! My goal is to use my bigger sizes and end the yo-yo lol

@@NewAccountWhoDis I did it.

But those were in great shape

@@dr.maraberkley7722 maybe they were too big for her, IDK.

I've been a sewing enthusiast all my life and have acquired several machines over the years. I have one almost identical to this, except I think mine is a Singer. It's dated 1917, so I'm sure the machine she's using is over 100 years old! I love how she's kept it in excellent condition. I have at least 10 machines, from a Victorian era treadle (it works!) to a fancy programmable embroidery machine (it doesn't work so well). My favorite machine that I use most was brought to me by a now ex-friend. He bought it for $5 at a yard sale and brought it over so I could teach him to thread it. It's an early 1960s turquoise blue heavy-duty all metal Brother, back when they were made in Japan. It's fantastic! Never skips a stitch, laughs at four layers of denim! He acted like a jerk and got mad because I wouldn't give him one of my expensive fire extinguishers I keep on the porch. I bought those after my son and I narrowly escaped dying in a wildfire here in 2013, so hell no! He never spoke to me again, and never came back for the machine. It's MINE now!🤪

I like being crafty. I recently took up crochet and I pulled out a piece that I was working on to show my dad. He said "that looks hippie". That was not my intent, but I take it as a compliment- hippies are cool. Any movement that rejects capitalism or the status quo is a-okay with me :) Glad to be likened to folks like you! (I'm 26 btw.)

@@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist3 'The holy spirit comes on me' you say? 😏 I think the last time god came on someone, he knocked up a 12 year old named Mary and then had his son tortured to death... That's not a being that I want anywhere near me. Ever. It's kinda weird that YOU want him to come on you, but I'm not here to kink shame. Also, I DO NOT want to find out the hard way that god can get men pregnant. I don't care how awesome the baby might be- that sounds like it'll hurt. Leave that MPreg stuff in the weird corners of the Internet where it belongs. Jokes aside, you may want to look at Matthew 6:5-8. The summary of that verse is: your Jesus told you not to shove your religion in people's faces... Like you just did. Oops. 🤷‍♂️

@@aldenheterodyne2833 Good on ya! All the best in all your crafty projects.

This is an artist who works in fabric! I'm assuming she started her passion at a young age. I had a lot of encouragement from older women in my family who lived and thrived during the Depression. My aunt taught me embroidery at age seven, my tough-as-nails grandmother gave me my first machine when I was eleven. It only did straight stitch, but I made most of my high school clothes on that machine, at least one new outfit a week. I love seeing creators like this one who share their love of sewing and helps others get started on a wonderful skill to have. When I was 13, my dad told my mom to buy me all the fabric, patterns, etc. I would use, so once I finished my weekly projects, Mom and I were back at our favorite fabric stores, "fondling the merchandise" as Dad called it! When Hancock Fabrics went out of business years ago, I cried! It felt like a dear friend had passed away. BTW, my high school friends were staying out late, getting into drugs and sex, but for me there was nothing I'd rather do than spend weekends in my room sewing, while listening to my nice stereo system my parents also wisely bought for me. I did go to parties, but since I was wearing something cool I made myself, I was careful not to ruin it by getting drunk. A tip for new parents: when you find your child has a passion for some wholesome hobby or activity, encourage the HECK out of it! It's harder for them to get bored and get into mischief by peer pressure if they develop skills that are a source of pride and self esteem. I know I write too much, but just one more story... I love what my grandmother, who I never met, did for her children. My widowed grandmother died in 1932, my mom was only eleven. Before she died, she taught her children to sing 4 part harmonies and taught them every song she knew. They were so poor they lived in a 2 room shack with no running water. No welfare back then, so she worked very hard but was paid little because she was biracial. She died young from TB, never got to see a doctor. They had nothing, didn't even own shoes until they got to the orphanage. In the 60s and 70s we had family reunions where all the siblings got together once a year. I couldn't wait for evenings after supper. Cousin Ray would bring out his guitar and Mom and her brothers and sisters sang gorgeous old hymns, 19th century bluegrass murder ballads, and some very funny novelty songs from the 1920s. We'd all sit under the ancient oak trees and enjoy music the way it was 100 years ago. Wonderful memories! My uncle Bill became a professional musician and Gospel songwriter who was also a beloved high school teacher and coach. He was the youngest, but he never forgot the wonderful gift his loving mother bestowed on her children that got him through hard times. He was a man of faith, and I'm sure those hymns in his heart since childhood helped him survive the Battle of Iwo Jima where he was badly wounded and his BFF killed.😢

Hermoso

Lol, I actually had one of those. Wore it with a little cropped jean jacket...and fairly big hair with too much hairspray.

I agree that I want to see the finished product at the start....so I forward fast to the end and go back and watch from the beginning if I like it 👌

Yup. Had 2 of those. Wore with a tank top, cropped jacket and puffy hair. 😂

I still have a purse i made from my favorite jeans way back in 1978 .. I used to make those skirts too!

@@blueclarity Cropped jean jacket MUST have pins and buttons of various punk and new wave bands to be 100% 80s stereotype! Yes, I wore mine proudly!😂 I still say we were some bitchin' babes back then, what a great time to be young! BTW, I still own two pair of Bugle Boy parachute pants I bought in 1980. They still fit! I wore the blue ones recently, a stranger commented, "Oh wow, I didn't know those were still made!" I smiled sweetly and said, "They're not! I've owned these for 44 years!"

A have a few antique machines, and I'm glad I can still get parts for most! However, they don't wear out if oiled once in awhile so the only parts I've ever bought were things like presser feet and bobbins.

I have a 1902 Singer footpeddle. Still works like a charm.

Right. The way she just freehand that pleating and didnt have to measure or pin her seam allowance but it still all came out looking uniform and professional made. Just blown away.

My grandmother grew up during the depression in the 30,s and that's how she learned to sew.She would make me a new summer wardrobe every year for many years in my teens & 20,s I still have a few pieces(wish I had them all😕 bc she's been gone 20 years now).I feel greatfull that I had that kind of love growing up 💯🥰❤️🏡🗽🙏

I was so impressed! She makes it look so easy, but I've tried sewing before. She clearly has a great amount of skill!

@@msannthrope1863 as a detail oriented person this whole video (while yes it’s creative extremely) completely stressed me out haha. For the reasons you mentioned and then some.

@@teeteesedusa haha. Right? Me too. I was thinking, “you can’t do that. That’s not gonna work. Look at that. Oh that’s a mess…

Just fast forard to the end before you start watching

Dr,mn on l o pmmķooikk

Completely agree. Why not show the idea up front if it’s so awesome?

@@kimberlysmith697 duh 😂😂

Duh..that's how they get you to watch. Just FF. It's why I'm here. I said "What the heck is that?".

I agree 100%!! My Aunt Conchita grew up in Mexico City, and although she was from a wealthy family, she had amazing skills she was taught from an early age. She taught her children to cook and sew and four of them are boys. My cousin, a tall handsome guy who looks like Antonio Banderas, made his own blue jeans! He worked in construction and needed sturdy clothing, so he made exactly what he needed. She took her husband's failed laundromat business that was hemorrhaging money and converted it to a very successful restaurant where she served her family recipes. The place was and is still very popular. All her kids have worked there, now her grandchildren run the restaurant. She's in her 90s now, but still keeps an eye on things. To me, she's Superwoman! Not only is she very smart and skilled, she's so beautiful that when my uncle met her in the 1950s at college (Univ. Mexico City) and fell madly in love, she was a professional model in magazines and print ads! She and my mom became instant BFFs, and my mom joked that my goofy (but cute) East Texas farm boy uncle must be holding her hostage because she's way out of his league. 😆

Oh my gosh Do Not be afraid to cut denim. I was too but saved Hubby's n Son's jeans and Overalls for years. Then it was either toss them/donate or CUT UM. I had so many and they are bulky to store. Decided the best size to use up the jeans for what I had was 6 1/2" square. Now I have over 235 squares and did start the center working out. Have more to do yes. But not starting at all just holds us back.

Dats so adorable

You are very very talented

I couldn't figure out what she was going to do ... and hoped it was a way to make those scallops to put on my old jeans to spruce them up. I am still thinking of a rag quilt or adding embroidery. So far, my thoughts are still only in my mind.

hi

What a great idea

@@shiftygirl6434 That's what I thought she was making when she started out, until she sewed the second ends together making it a circle.

@@rebeccalangston6125 Oh my goodness I thought in the same way untill the circle of a foundation to a dress formed.

I thought that is what she was doing at first, all great ideas.

Me too!!
