I think this may be the most unusual, imaginative and successful thrift flip I have seen! I'm in love with the couture look of the pink binding inside and I'll be looking out for jumpsuits to make into pants, which I find so much more useful for daily wear. As far as wearing the pants every day goes...just remember, it's the same number of wears whether stretched out over a decade or consolidated into a year.

@studiobonvon 3 ай бұрын

It's so true! ...maybe I should just enjoy them and not worry about it. Glad to hear you liked the video and found it inspirational!! ✨

@nata6025 17 күн бұрын

Aw, if they are that comfortable, you should absolutely wear them everyday! It's the best way to enjoy your hard work. My dad only wore "nice" clothes all through his life because he felt the most comfortable in his slacks vs his jeans. It's nice to look nice everyday

I love the idea of stitching the grid on. What a great way of being able to make your own custom fabric. And the possibilities in size and color, you could even do a kind of plaid look. Thank you for the inspiration. They look amazing.

Oh yes! How cool would a plaid look?!

Just found your channel! I’m obsessed! I’m a sewist and thrifter, but I’ve never done a thrift flip before. Usually I just make tiny changes to my thrifted clothes, but I have always WANTED to do something like this. You’re an inspiration! Keep it up!!!

@IceCream-hp7mm 3 ай бұрын

This flip is amazing! And yes no shame on tutorials, I love them & use them a lot to fill in any gaps in pattern drafting or sewing…I usually have to watch a few to fit specific needs but I appreciate them all!

When dying cloth, use white enamel pots. And more water is best so the fabric can spread out in the water and receive the dye more evenly.

@studiobonvon 3 ай бұрын

That pot was definitely too small 😂 I have a white enamel pot, but I would be afraid that the dye would discolor it? I think I have to do more research...thanks for the tips!

You should be proud of yourself for achieving this project. It looks very comfortable and flatering. I agree, details are important. It would be great to have a pattern to replicate them!

Have just stumbled onto your videos and I’ve really enjoyed them. The natural fabrics you love have a higher frequency [I imagine because they come from something living] and even assist in promoting better health - which grabs my interest as well. Thanks for the video!

Great process and storytelling. A creative renewal, they went from ok to wonderful. Even the original texture had been bumped up to another level as it's been incorporated in by your choice color palette and stitching... It's got dimensionality now! Keep sharing... as you are...

Haha thank you! My machine is definitely not vintage...it was made in 2021 😂 I brought the stitch length down to 1.5 so that it wouldn't be so obvious that it was sewn on. I would LOVE to restore a truly vintage treadle sewing machine...one day!

I recommend "Catherine Sews" KZfaq channel. She's a thrift-flipper and a Fashion & Textile HS teacher. So ideas and skills tutorials! Oh, oh, and she shows you how to do a "knockoff"!! How to take an existing garment and use it to make a pattern for future garments.

@studiobonvon 10 күн бұрын

I really LOVE these and thank you for detailing your process. Do you think you’d ever copy these to make a master pattern so you can replicate the amazing fit and not have to reserve this style of pants for occasional wear…then make multiples of them whenever you find suitable fabric & feel like having another pair? It’d be great if you made a video of this process. Love all your videos so far. Very encouraging to this sewist and upcycler

@studiobonvon 2 ай бұрын

Yes, a couple people have suggested this and I think it’s a great idea! I will definitely make a video about the process if I end up doing this. I would love to have a full length pair that is less decorated and more utilitarian! Thanks so much for being here! ✨

Just no. Totally impractical to make a pair of trousers that are casual wear, but unable to wear them casually as too worried about wearing them out too soon !!! They would not sustain regular dog walks and playing with children every day....too scared to ruin them, therefore quite useless!! Too casual to wear as formal in any way, but too casual to wear as casual as they will get worn out and ruined, and had so much effort put into them rendering them absolutely useless !!!!
