So glad to find this video this morning. I have never been much on watching videos of sewing. I have been sewing and selling for many years. But, I had been collecting denim jackets, lace tablecloths and curtains, etc. With the idea of upcycling clothing. I'd pin things on to fabric and then change my mind, feeling like I didn't really know what I was doing. So at long last I decided to sell most of my supplies. I am talking jewelry, lace (everything under the sun), jackets, beads, leather, suede, etc. But, once I had most of it sorted and together, I decided to give one last try at a Boho purse. I searched You tube and found your video on the romantic, lace purse. You explain everything so well, you are pleasant to listen to, even your nails are pretty and yet not distracting. I have since created to purses based on 2 of your videos. I decided I am not going to sell my supplies after all. You have inspired me to let my creativity flow. Stop second guessing myself. I look forward to your video's, and I watch them multiple times. Thanks so much for all you are teaching us.

I love your videos! You are literally the only person I have found on KZfaq that makes the explanations easy to follow, plus your creations are simply gorgeous! Thanks so much

Just bought a table cloth with no idea how but the instant inspo for a top. And bam. Found your channel last night. Thank you beautiful gypsy queen.

I would love to make these and sell them. Traci, I have a question: When you made and sold items like these (or anything you can wear), how did you decide what size to make? Thanks so much for all the incredibly valuable information you give us. No one else on TY (I searched a lot of sewing tutorials) sews like you do. It is truly a unique and fun approach. Also, your presentation is soooo nice. I look forward to your videos and watch every one.....sometimes many times! Some of the best minutes of my day! Inspiring.

I always love your creations! Thank you for taking the time to show us the step by step assembling! Your videos are easy to follow! Brilliant! 😍

U r assume you r a great teacher ,love all your style 💕

I am loving your upcycled videos. They are the best I’ve found. Thank you for encouraging our own style and creativity. I would love to see more on creating a wardrobe. I love the pieces you wear. Love and Blessings 🤍 8:13

Wow! This is beautiful and inspiring. It gives me some wonderful ideas. Thank you!🦋

Tracy I Love everything about this item. I need this in my life right now!!!! This will look so good with my denim upcycle skirt. I’m definitely on a mission now. Love your tutorials my friend. I am never disappointed.💕💕💕💕🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

What a Sunday❤ surprise a brand new video from you. I've watched all the videos on your playlist some 2-3 times. I'm waiting for the bag video you have in mind. I share and comment hoping you will continue to give us die hard fans more videos. I love your fearlessness and creativeness when you handle those scissors 😊 Please keep the videos and hints coming. You have a wealth of knowledge to share. ❤

i love your clothes, you present this in a really great way, it makes me think, women are awesome

You are the best always! Love you!!🙏🙏🎀🎀🙌🙌

Hello. Just found your channel and I can’t get enough. You are so wonderful!!! I love how you do your videos. So much information to learn from. Can not thank you enough for sharing your talent. New subscriber. Can’t wait for every video! Again. Thank you. Blessings. XO ❤

Oh my gosh, I have watched you do this multiple times but when you use your index finger to push/hold your material as it heads to the needle it gives me PTSD. A handful of years back, I was fixing a top and doing the same thing - used my finger to push/hold the material but unfortunately for me I ran the needle through my index finger. All the way through!! It was surreal when I had to back the needle out. I'm sure for me it is just because I'm an inexperienced sewer but wow did it hurt! I have been binge watching your videos today. I have also made some unique pieces and I am truly inspired. Thank you for sharing your creativity!

Absolutely Beautiful😍😍Never have I ever seen anything like this. This makes sewing so enjoyable and carefree🤩🤩🤩Thank You very much. Where have you been.I want to get to my sewing machine now🤩More please

I LOVE IT! I am so glad you gave so much detail on how to cut and sew the lace. I realize now that when doing some of your other projects I was sewing the lace from end to end and that's why I did not the correct flowyness. cant wait to give this one a try. THNK YOUSO MUCH!

Gorgeous. I have all the materials so this will be my 1st clothing refashion!!!! Ty for teaching us. I seriously would not have been able to do this without you!!!

Great top for summer , Traci ! I have been thrifting lace but it is getting hard to find. Redid a jean jacket with lace.

I swear You read my mind!!!! LOVE IT!!!!!!

You are such a lovely teacher.

WONDERFUL Ideas! I really love how you did the top of the shrug with the pieces! Beautiful ! 💖💖 TFS - Crafty Hugs!

🧡💛💚💙💜 Just Beautiful !!!! I was hoping for something just like this, feminine, unique, ultra sexy !! Thanks again for all your wonderful tutorials Traci !!! 😍🥰😃

Wonderful. I love all your videos. 👏👏👏 ❤ I'm from Brazil ❤

Love all your videos

You are an excellent teacher

Traci the question regarding the doilies unravelling. The commercially made doilies don't unravel but the handmade ones will. I am a crocheter (lol if that's a word) I have been sewing knitting crocheting since about 10 years old as I would watch my mum doing it. I have made recycled doily bags and tie dyed bags I sew and you have inspired me so much to get back to it and the day before I discovered you on youtube I started a camisole top and dress to cover in doilies. I was a bit unsure how to go about it but you've done it girl. I love what you do and btw .....you look gorgeous. I wouldn't be rude to ask your age but you look about my daughters' ages. I am so happy to have found you.

Bonjour, un grand merci pour toutes vos belles idées pour toutes ses transformations

Beautiful. You are sending me to my thrift stores around my town. Fort Myers. Fl

This is soooooo FN cute!!!!

Your pieces are unique and beautiful , I really love them , hellow from Ecuador I Will try some ideas thanks

Enjoyed watching this episode so much, thanks 😊

I love how it wasn't a diagonal top but with the placement of laces & doilies it makes it diagonal! I'm 64 & just learning to machine sew your vids are delightfully simple to watch & execute! ❤❤❤

Very nice. Traci, the difference between you and other creative people is you go for it. Bravo!

Thank you so much for your tutorials. I'm new to sewing and started specifically to upcycle, and your videos have been so incredibly helpful. I truly appreciate you sharing your talent with us.

''Lace Salad" sooo delightfully descriptive- love it.

I will make from an old lace kimono I have.seems easy to cut out the lace from that.. so pretty

I would love to own this. Just Gorgeous!

I just found you and I’m bing watching lol

You are amazing love love love this tutorial

Im so happy to find your channel! You've validated one of my thrift store purchase from years ago, lol! I bought a vintage Jams World shirt that was WAY to small, but i adored the print & the color. It was a couple bucks, and did i mention Jams World! Lol! My husband always teases me about it, because he caught me trying it on! Im gonna watch & comment on all your videos. And watch all the commercials I can stand.

Lovely as always

I just love how creative you are... it's amazing that you just look at something and can have a vision for it... I want to be just like you when I grow up!!!

This is too cute.

❤ your style

Love it

Very pretty 😀

More please! So much fun.

Too cute!!

I have always loved doing Collages, and watching you work with lace doilies, different sizes, off color whites, looks absolutely stunning. Thank you so much.❤

You're sooo talented, Thank You.

I love 💕 how you just wing it as you go!! My kinda sewing!!

Me ha encantado!!!❤❤❤

You're like the perfect person, I can just tell 🥰...so talented and a great teacher

First video I have watched. This was just beautiful and I am going to try it!! Thank you for sharing your creativity! God bless you!

Love love love this project! So my style! Used to sew many years ago….you have inspired me to start again!

I have to admit, when I first saw the shrug I didn't get the vision and was thinking the shrug was too cute to cut and alter. But oh boy! I absolutely LOVE what you did to it. Well done!! P.S. Very impressed with the lace top also.

A very well done to you for your fabulous transformation; you've given me some great ideas

Maravilhosa como sempre 😍

I am making a top that is different than this but I just got so many ideas from what you have shown. You are amazing. Thanks!!

So cute Tracy, I’m going thrifting today so I’ll be looking for lace and trims. I’ve even bought clothes with beautiful trims and recycled them into something else. ❤❤Judy❤❤

Thanks

My next project 😊

I haven't commented for while but I'm still watching your videos. I'm so impressed by your creativity. I do have a question-when you started selling how much inventory did you have or did you make things to order? Thanks for the inspiration.

Love watching all your videos- always liked to have clothing that was original/out of the ordinary. Would love to know if you made the pants on mannequin- they're so cute!

Traci, I absolutely love your work and your willingness to encourage and teach others. Thank you so so much for all your doing. I have a question about your hang tags. Do you have your business name printed anywhere on them when you order them from eBay, and do you think that's important? I have a small seamstress/alterations business and I'm starting to sell a few things in my shop that I actually ENJOY making, thanks to you!!!! But I want to present them in a professional way.

So beautiful & creative, thank you for the inspiration. As a crocheter who specializes in intricate doilies just have to say I have a hard time coming to terms with chopping them up!

❤❤❤❤❤

❤❤❤

💖💖💖

add a white lace skirt and I would get married in it ❤

👍👍👍

I have that exact machine

🎉🎉🎉

❤

Sorry I wrote this comment on another of your videos I just saw it but this is the right video "Hello, I really like everything you do. But I wanted to know, won't all those little or big pieces of lace that you leave unstitched break down at some point? Won't the points go away, for example, from washing or when you sit on them? I really love your videos and you know how many of this stuff i have without knowing what to do with it? Now... I know😅"

Absolutely adorable. Do you ever hem the area you cut in the front of the shrug, so when it is open it looks finished? I was wondering to if you would need to zig zag the bottom of the cami where you cut it to finish it and to keep it from fraying over time? I would only hand launder these type of pieces to keep them pristine. So, so pretty and girly. Love it.

👏👏👏👍

Dear Tracy, you have inspired me to let my creativity flow, and I look forward to your video's) Thank you so much!😍😍😍

Traci can you show or make another video where you sew the doily on then do the cut out where you can see thru the doily. Thank you.

….and now, i go back to buy more lace……. Lol

With the doilies... How do you stop the cut lace parts of the doilies from stop fraying? My big concern thank you Anna

Where do you sell your items? I can't find the words to be able to buy your items. My friends would get sick of my wearing them 24/7. LOL

Can a shirt decorated with lace like this be done on stretch fabric? I have a bunch of different t-shirt, tank tops style shirts.

What about the inside of the seams when you sew on the lace around the outside. Is is still ruff cut?

Hi Traci! How much would you sell something like this for? Im always unsure of what to charge.

I won't lie, as a crocheter who has spent umpteen hours making doilies, it's hard to see them cut up. But, hey, if they've landed at a thrift store, why not give them a new life? I do wonder if they don't unravel horribly in the parts where they aren't sewn down?

🙏🤞❤❤❤
