hello~✸
The clothes have been piling up on my yoga mat, and it's a sight for sore eyes, so it's time to organize and spring clean! I also wanted to pull out my sewing machine to alter some clothes I thrifted a while ago!

Hey! The thing with which you can pull the thread trough the needle is right there beside the needle. If you pull that whitehandle downwards and a bit forward it will make a loop through the needle and you just place the thread there and it pulls it through on its own. Hope that helps😊

[@overly.chromatic]

It took me like 10 years to learn that my machine had a needle threader hahahaha Came to comment the same thing :)

[@desireeflores2576]

I just came in the comments to let her know the same 😊

[@virginiaduque8463]

It looks like we all thought the same 😂

[@nakamiyonemura2001]

The vibes are always immaculate, even more so with the friend group

[@apple.cheeks]

Hahaha the friends do be immaculate

[@brittbrat3232]

Omg the denim top was literally my favorite! The definition of trust the process!!!

[@apple.cheeks]

I felt like I was making everything up as I went HAHA

[@mimzyrabbit545]

Love this, you did so good!! And for future sewing projects: Before you thread the needle, there’s a little hook above the needle that you put the thread behind. It helps so the needle doesn’t unthread while sewing! Just a little a tip ❤

[@Loeviis]

It seems the blocked neutral top has a stretchy fabric, which means you need a needle for jersey (stretch). If you sew it with a regular needle you get the ruffling effect. Which i think looks cute on some pieces. That might be the issue. Same as for denim you need a denim needle, so it doesn't break as easily. Hope this helps 🙂

[@jadeneilson6803]

"It's not a fail if you don't stop trying" haha so true, I love that!

[@Papershire]

Aww the bunny is darn adorable! It's nice to see people swapping clothes instead of just buying new all the time, need to find me a nice local group now ☺

[@apple.cheeks]

Potato is a sweetheart! It’s my first clothing swap and it’s changed my view of clothes and friendship, it’s so much fun :,)

[@ThatRomyKate]

Above the needle there’s a little hook you tuck the thread behind and that’ll stop it coming unthreaded so easily. It’ll also help your tension 😊 the clothes swap looks really fun!

[@yeppennydoodles]

YOUR CURLY HAIIIIIIIRRRRR 💁‍♀🫶 i loved watching your creativity translate into other areas of your life like your wardrobe! & might i say, a lot of those outfits will look REALLY good with the smiley tote purse you designed ;D✨

[@pumpkincat3291]

I’m a very silent subscriber and supporter (have even been a patron for a couple of patreon months!)-just wanted to pop in and say I really enjoy what you do. Your vlogs have really nice vibes and are really inspiring :)) and your art is so nice. I think you’re neat!

[@apple.cheeks]

thank you so much for the kind words

[@darkcaeol]

I loved seeing you work on something new Tiffany!! 💜

[@apple.cheeks]

It was refreshing 🫶🏻

[@C1RCUS1S1NT0WN]

I LOVE your sense of fashion!! love what you made out of your pieces and love the way you styled them at the end

[@mosslou9854]

the sewing projects all turned out sooo cute!! 🌷🥰 i love when sweaters do the frilly thing because of the stretchy fabric. it feels very flowery to me somehow. and especially the contrast with the more cool lookin cargo pants! great fit 🎶

[@zynobiaaaa]

the intermission 🥲

[@alinetheillustrator]

Amazing!❤That green(?) blouse would look amazing over a crochet top!I loved the transformation in the pieces. You are incredible 😍😍

[@Kamillouu]

The denim top turned out cute !

[@deadlynightshade_art]

Loved the fashion show! Obsessed with the Red Top and the Altered sweater vest! They look great 👏👏

[@apple.cheeks]

Thank u!!!

[@Inkymakes]

This was a fun video. You've inspired me be more confident in future with flipping my own old clothes 🥰

[@memejang1012]

Omgggg i love the red jacket turned into a crop and tank !! Color is so so flattering on you!!

[@apple.cheeks]

AHHH ily and miss u :')

[@Meowgismom]

The bunny is so cute! He looks like our bun, Finn. The red tank top made from the jacket was really a cool idea!

[@apple.cheeks]

bunny twins! This bunny is called Potato

[@Meowgismom]

@@apple.cheeks Potato is a cute name!

[@splice.w0rld.]

hey girlie! looks like you have a needle threader on your machine, the little white lever. super easy to use

[@romeoandjuliedotcom]

2 sewing tips. 1 keep te pins left to right, sew right over them instead of up n down. also please wear glasses bc the pins n needles snap n fly sometimes! 2 there is an easy super clean trick sew the first w the garment right side out. trim within millimeters to the tread the extra fabric off. turn garment inside out, sew same seam a few millimeters away again (encapsulating entire raw edge.) when u flip it right side out again you wont see any raw edges of fabric if you got in tight enough. super slick seam n strong. also 3, when starting a seam start in reverse like for maybe an inch, then change to forward when at the edge where you would normally start, it knots the edge thread down onto itself n super strong so wont come undone. def iron too before sewing for extra precision. i barely sew friends showed me these few tips n totally worth it!

[@grace-xo]

this is so uplifting !! cant wait to have a group of girlies to do stuff like this with

[@BewitchCraft]

I love this, giving clothes new life through swapping or customizing.

[@TreisiGomez]

OK LOVE WHAT YOU DID ALSO MAKES ME WANT TO TAKE OUT MY SEWING MACHINE AND GET CREATIVE I FEEL LIKE SEEING YOU JUST GOING FOR IT AND NOT WORRYING ABOUT IT BEING PERFECT IS AWSOME BECAUSE SEEING OTHERS DO THINGS SO PERFECT STOPS US NOT SO PERFECT SEWERS FROM TRYING SINCE WE WOULDNT DO PERFECT LOL HOPE THAT MADE SENCE ❤

[@leslieiannottacronin2176]

I lovvve every altered piece. I think we’re going to see more and more revamped pieces and the fast fashion will be confused, but will try to imitate the look.

[@MyTaylordCloset]

Just stumbled upon this video. This is my current state in my room too. I went to a clothing swap in January and I already need to clean my closet out. This was filmed and edited so well I felt like I was watching a movie or something. Now I need to get to my alterations upcycle pile ... well it's a bin and several bags. ❤

[@ChantelleArts]

I desperately need to clear out my clothes but I’ve been putting it off because of the effort required to try everything on 😂😂 I think you may have convinced me…

[@apple.cheeks]

*convinces more* it’s really a fun activity if you make it one :3

[@8randomprettysecret8]

Thank you for your kindness!!! Hoping all is well these days 💃💃💃

[@Labaoglenn4]

I'd say well done in changing and modifying those clothes, they all look better now and works well with all your different outfit combinations ! 👍👏👏👏

[@perry2564]

Okay the thrift flips & outfits are gorgeous 😍

[@milkaboom]

Just FYI from the looks of it your sewing machine has a small tool attached left from the foot holder to help you thread the needle. I have a very similar machine from singer and use it every time cos it makes it so much easier ❤

[@apple.cheeks]

I figured out how to use it after I filmed this video xD I pull out my sewing machine once every two years and I always forget

[@Iliveinmygarage]

@@apple.cheeks I also think you had it threaded incorrectly usually, before you thread it through the needle you should be tucking it behind a little arm that sits just in front in your needle

[@madebymalin]

This video is so fun and inspiring ! 😍😍

[@apple.cheeks]

Thank u 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻✨

[@ttturnip]

this is everything ive ever wanted in a yt video. loved it

[@sleepingIsMySecondName]

oh my gosh that denim top is stunning!

[@lalalandofclouds]

The hem on the first top came out super cute!!

[@waffelsmellgood]

I love the last outfit with the blue hat. You look cute!! Curled hair with some dangling earrings!!

[@valerievaessen8620]

from what I can tell that white plastic thingynext to your needle on the sewing machine is a helper for threading the needle!

[@jujuuu1]

wow the red top you made is incredible! love it so much! also really liked the intermission, so calming

[@apple.cheeks]

💖💖💖

[@הדראברמוביץ]

Hi Tiffany ❤ Where do you buy your clothes? Which stores you like the most? I have horrible stayle and i want stayle like yours❤ Thank yoh so much😊

[@inesmelissaa]

hi! as a singer machine user, there's this 'push down' "button" that you can use to help you insert the thread inside the needle. It is very helpful ❤

[@הדראברמוביץ]

So beautiful!!!!! The first top is so beautiful!! And the red top you made from the jacket 😱 soooooo pretty! :D you look like a princess ❤ I wish I had a style like yours. Which stores do you buy your clothes from?

[@crissi1878]

I'm sure someone has mentioned, but the sewing machine has a little tab near the needle for threading the machine. It should be the little white tab on the lefthand side of the needle. 😊 I've missed your videos.

[@a.moonsang]

This is so fun!! Experimenting with textiles is the best!

[@neiel6169]

if Apple cheeks were a color:🤍💛🧡❤️💙💚 Simply beautiful

[@reeaah]

I love the seam at the bottom! so cute! It’s rare to find this in any store!❤

[@LilcloverAtelier]

I suggest you put the folded clothes/pants in a drawer like a book on the shelf. So you can look all of it in a glance when you pull, no need to rummage.

[@apple.cheeks]

^ I'm all for that, I'll try it next

[@shananigans0117]

Loved the two pieces you made from the Levi jacket

[@sheselle]

what can’t you do?!? i looove all the pieces you altered esp the denim top!! your entire closet is a vibe 💗

[@apple.cheeks]

Hmmm I can’t seem to cook as well 😂 thank you ily!

[@Sheela_Chan]

Not me looking directly at the needle threader while you were strugling😂😂😂

[@sincerelyceline]

My faves on you are definitely the red fits😚 It just gives off main character energyyy~ This vlog was so dreamy tho, I really enjoyed the beautiful intermission as well❤

[@angelicaaa__]

omg, you're such a creative person T___T you're so talentedddd omg!!!

[@lil.ikuraa]

This was so fun to watch!! I have been watching your videos since you bought the Kina & Tam cardigan. I love that cardigan and it has since made me want to curate a closet with fun colors and patterns. Now my wishlist includes that cardigan and meals parachute pants 🤣

[@apple.cheeks]

that would be the ultimate fit~

[@paulinebrus7580]

what a fun video :) cute outfits!

[@sarakolsan9902]

wow, I love all of the pieces so much!!!!!!!

[@DalandanBananan]

love what you did with the red jacket!! it gives me mad akira vibes

[@aubigney]

the trick i use to thread the needle is to cut the end of the thread at an angle. works most of the time, except when the needle itself is tricksy

[@lightbulbnirvana]

You were a burrowing fast rabbit making all that!

[@essisaloheimo3700]

Woow the denim top turned out so cool! :D

[@Okamixxiii]

Ahh that top with the tan squares is so cute!!! I legit gave a gasp when you showed the results, it came out so good!

[@rmrart934]

Wow the clothing swap is awesome!

[@HeidiStewart-ob6rg]

So cool how your shots are like film and your life looks like a movie:)

[@wildflowerwind6941]

Really great job with the remakes.

[@waffelsmellgood]

Lol! When you were looking to cut the red jacket and said “you need seam allowance girl!! Lower it!”

[@tellitaMS]

wet the point of the thread a little to insert it into the needle, it helps lots

[@aimeecreative]

So inspiring!! I need to clean and organize my closet. LOVE your style and skill!! Love that red top!

[@apple.cheeks]

TY

[@dMi_mi]

d Fluffy extra Puffy Bunny munchin on its crunchy salad 🥗 lettuce. 😌💖 da "clothes swap activities" 😶 what a great idea. You made some Beautiful pieces.

[@salidg]

All outfits are amazing!! Beautiful job!!

[@apple.cheeks]

Thank u!

[@rebeccaweir6362]

Sewing stretchy fabrics is the worst! I have found a zigzag stitch to be helpful, and you don't want to stretch the fabric as you put it through. Some sort of interfacing helps too. I've been there, girl, stretchy fabrics are a journey.

[@apple.cheeks]

ooo! thanks for the tips !!

[@LeahGogo]

Hi, such a great video. Ur outfits are so cute ❤

[@apple.cheeks]

Thank you!!

[@הדראברמוביץ]

You inspired me to revamp some of my clothes. Great job by the way everything came out so cute! 😊

[@הדראברמוביץ]

[@הדראברמוביץ]

Hi Tiffany Where do you buy your clothes? Which stores? I have a horrible style and I really want a style like yours You will really help me. Thanks❤

[@fatdandelions]

Nice slip in to your no spending month challenge 😂🎉😊

[@apple.cheeks]

Scratched my itch by making new clothes hahaha

[@Kufalk.equestrian]

Your sewing machine has a needle threading assist on it. They have videos about it to help you use it

[@coleenisabel_]

Loved it! You're so creative

[@sierrareed11]

amazing! and goals haha

[@rebeccaweir6362]

Just a note, on the sewing machine, above the needle, there should be something to hold the thread close so that it doesn't pull out of the needle so easily. I think I saw a little hook that you can tuck the thread into. Maybe that will help in the future?

[@abi6592]

Impressed!!

[@iwaswiwa]

cuteee 💛

[@rashelbernalr]

Hi first time watcher! Can I ask how the clothing swap was coordinated? I’ve been meaning to host one for my community!!!

[@jotatical]

Where can I buy your khaki with the green nylon strings!! They look really good :)
