[@momiji7789]

I'm buying a sewing machine after watching all these. I just want to learn to sew even if it's not as good as these. Update: I bought the cheap little one but the stitching keeps coming out and other problems... Fabric scraps are so cheap though. I found a bundle for a dollar.

[@violetcrown1694]

I can't stop watching these incredible transformations! You are so talented.

[@armandopina739]

Kelli Marissa i watch 1 a day. feeds my need for creativity

[@Thtkoi]

Or a jump suit

[@margotchamberlin6555]

I was thinking the same thing, or a two piece outfit

[@src4409]

Could you do a series for super beginners? Really going into to detail about what you're doing and why?

[@shanaeallyse4539]

I'm currently making this dress with fabric from a beautiful butterfly print dress that's too big for me, your videos are so easy to follow. You're actually my biggest inspiration to start sewing and design. Thanks 😊❤️

[@khwezay]

Shanae Allyse 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😭😂😂😂😂 this made my day 😭😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@m.mhn7535]

Your like the only one person who actually knows how to sew.

[@StephiNguyen]

I will pay you to custom make all of my clothes omg you are so talented

[@shaelynn5368]

You should do a giveaway of thrifted transformations! like the winner could send you waist/bust/etc measurements or just something like this (a wrap dress) that may not need exact measurements but something easily altered or tied to fit slightly bigger/smaller than the measurements sent in! just a cool idea to get a "one of a kind" piece of clothing from a favorite youtuber. Love your work, inspires me to venture into other career options that I haven't considered before!

[@thotcow8527]

Shaelynn Z that would be so cool. she has alot of talent!

[@ambercotrone]

Shaelynn Z what an amazing idea! I would treasure that piece forever :)

[@withlove2963]

How do we make this a reality?! I'd love a transformed piece!

[@MsCissyBlue]

I'm 63, and just about to embark on sewing up some new pieces for my wardrobe! Now that I've found your great videos, I can re-think some older items! THANKS!

[@MsCissyBlue]

Adorable! Love it!

[@HoneyImg]

Imagine watching this and seeing a dress you gave away being transformed into something so pretty. lol i would be sooo salty

[@Losshe]

Honey Alyssa But whoever gave this dress up clearly doesn't have the skills, patience and the creativity she has. If it was me I'd be happy that my trash has become someone's gem, and especially this gorgeous

[@LocalAceAJ]

Another man’s trash is another man’s treasure

[@seeratsingh1583]

Anime Gaming *one mans

[@gandapinta1]

i wish i could sew like you

[@goldaria9228]

You can

[@KarisGarra]

You can sew with practice, but the problem is the imagination DD::

[@petalss5325]

ikr? watching this instructional video doesn't encourage me at all xDD she's too good!

[@chariabubu]

+Soo Nam fighting~!! learn from a great teacher ie., coolirpa ;0

[@LoveBird0709]

+Karis Garra ugh, I know right? just watching the part where she's trying to decide on what and how to create the top part and I'm here thinking "I give up" already HahaHaha

[@bouszaye]

incredible :O I'm in absolute awe and amazement at how beautiful she made that dress. She is so talented !!!!!

[@sarahchristophers9752]

[@madeleinesaad9871]

[@chriskochinsky1102]

"Let's see what we can do." Naw, we'll watch and see what YOU can do, and applaud.

[@lindynugent2426]

I've learned so much from just watching your videos. My parents got me a sewing machine last christmas and people have given me scrap fabric over the years but I've never had a clue how to use them but since I've started watching your videos I've started to understand what I need to do to make things the right way. Thanks for making these amazing videos. Keep doing what your doing. It's amazing.

[@everythinganimalcrafty7083]

Ohh my goodness you have to try and make Hermiones Yule ball dress PLEASE

[@akalife9671]

Yesyesyes

[@xPotterizedx]

+

[@MidnightOpal]

[@emyo7256]

Everything Animal & Crafty yesssssssssss

[@aylennarbaes]

In the original blue colour as described in the book.

[@Mizzimickiamii]

I loved the original design of the dress ( well the upper half / back less back) it's so 2001! But yours such an amazing crafter I'm so indecisive about both designs, idk what I love more!

[@CinnamonCari]

This one was the first time I actually liked the original design as much as the transformation

[@patipri22]

Agreed!!! The original back was breathtaking ❤️

[@rebeccarobson710]

she can literally open her own dress store and wouldn't even spend a lot of money on fabric!!!!!!

[@byv2497]

This is a great idea, thank you for sharing!

[@joratner1198]

my favorite one by far...been thrifting for 36 years and am so happy and proud to see such wonderful person keeping this passion alive and current.....you are awesome

[@ijojo89]

you definitely belong on Project Runway

[@wickandde]

Really don't understand the dislikes, this was deffo one of the best transformations yet. You just gave me an idea to do something similar for a really pretty old dress that needs a revamp! xx

[@loriisom4533]

You are a genius! I have been a seamstress from the age of 7. I watched your blogs for the first time today. Oh yeah, I subscribed. You have to make a business out of your creativity. You make one of a kind garments with brilliance, and style! The world is your oyster!! OMG!!!

[@Hellnogizmo]

This is wonderful! I think this is one of my favorite transformations. I would adore doing this with a dress I recently bought that is much bigger than my size as well. It actually even has a full back. Skills I do not yet possess. So beautiful!

[@anjeleaht]

could you do a diy backpack or backpack thrifting for college or back to school

[@cxsay6219]

She has a video for that already lol

[@bellrose2659]

YES! I was wanting to make a canvas backpack like fjallraven kraken for school! She made a backpack tutorial already but it was red suede and leather. PLEASE APRIL.

[@Jetsi79]

She has one 😊 look back at her past videos.

[@mehmeh5154]

+Isabella Rose I think she made a second one too with jeans fabric, but I think that video is a little bit older

[@serenaplacier2389]

+Isabella Rose she also made a backpack with jeans :)

[@mez8801]

never gonna make anything like this because i suck at sewing but i love your videos. They satisfy me

[@NurseAranda]

I used to make my own clothes but its so much hard work! I loved working with scratch material and not really having a plan in mind just to see what I would come up with. I don't have the time now since I'm married and have two kids but I used to really enjoy sewing. You are very talented, good job!

[@evas9735]

Just lovely, looked complicated I won't lie but the finished dress is so cute. Clever you!

[@stephs9827]

I can't even right now, she always does something amazing

[@benny1118]

I love this series so much!! I want to go to Goodwill and try this out so bad but I don't have a sewing machine >.

[@benny1118]

+iamhia I'd love to but I'm scared I'd mess it up...

[@benny1118]

+iamhia yeah, I suppose I could try that out ^^

[@ilive4hair]

+Sara Law goodwill has days where they have clothes for $1, I pick up things and sew according to my body and if I mess it up well it was cheap so it doesn't matter much, plus it's the experience you get. .also..make sure to check at thrift stores and Craigslist and yard sales for sewing machines. .you can get a decent one cheap!!

[@amberxai]

Goodwill are already shutting down

[@ilive4hair]

+amber xai what do you mean they are shutting down? as in closing because it's late? or closing down in business? lol if it's the first one well yea, I left the message way in the morning. .if it's the second one I'll cry lol

[@GradKat]

You have to be impressed by such creativity and talent. And she’s beautiful enough to show off the finished dress to advantage. I wish I had her skills (and her looks!).

[@emmaselem6840]

That's incredible. I love how you take old clothes and make them new again. Love to see some more and subscribing!

[@GIRLonMW2]

Omg that kind of dress you would have to buy for $50+!!

[@AliceWinter09]

It was a pleasure to watch this work :). My only critique is "it could be improved a little bit by implementation of more professional techniques (more exact measurements of fabric/design, curved ruler use etc). But love the design and look ^^.

[@Rekeaki]

I think the idea is to keep these thrifted transformations cheap. You can't ignore the "cost" of time and effort that goes into making something like this. A dress that takes forever to make is not fun or "cheap" in the end when you add up all the work you had to put into it. Leaving out the exact measurements and precise techniques saves a lot of time and makes sewing a lot more fun, especially if someone enjoys the creative process more than the making. I am fairly sure she is in design school and so probably has plenty of exposure to more accurate techniques.....probably to the point of it being tedious. I would want to "freehand" things in my spare time too.

[@AliceWinter09]

Fair enough, I didn't realise she was in design school. I know how it is to have to draft patterns all the time for the clothes we make at school. Drafting/pattern making becomes almost second nature/natural. Perfectly understandable that not everyone does everything the same way and to be honest I have my lazy sewing days too ^^. Thanks for the reply :).

[@Rekeaki]

Alice Winter Cool :-) I could be wrong about the design school part but she does occasionally (in other videos) mention various bits of sewing equipment she bought (such as a relatively expensive manequin recently) because "they have a class set of these at school" and she makes many references to advanced pattern/sewing techniques she "learned in school" in other videos....I don't think she has graduated yet (but definitely out of highschool based on age).....She may have said "I am in design school" at some point but I can't remember or can't find the video.

[@MissesMoonsValley]

Also that fabric is see-through and even showing how to line the dress would be beneficial.

[@annadurkee8607]

I love this!!..how creative this young women is as well as the beautiful fashion she makes..and it is so much fun to watch..she is gifted!!

[@xy-zaalbana7817]

I love your channel. I’ve always wanted to do this kind of works since I was in grade school, but I don’t know how to sew in a machine or how to start a project. You’ve inspired me to love my childhood dream again. You’re such a talented angel. God bless you and more power.

[@_JoyceArt]

Instantly subscribed at 5 seconds in, I'm not much of a seamstress (just a little bit better that 'two left hands') but I love seeing others create things. And the smart thinking of using the lining to create the back is genius.

[@AkwardAznPenguin]

Tbh, I don't know what she means and how she actually does this transformation but watching it slowly form into a dress is mesmerizing...

[@rimaaslan5063]

Dude i dont even have interest in transforming any clothes or learning how to, but just the fact that you can do it so perfectly and smoothly is addictive to me, its so satisfying!! Youre talented!

[@rhijulbec1]

Jeepers, I used to think I could sew, 😁 but you are on a level I never could have dreamed of! I wish for you all the success you could want because you have 1. vision-you can see the end result before you start 2. talent-you can put to paper and needle that vision 3. technical know how-you can't just see the end result you have the ability to make it real. I'm in awe of you! Well done and keep planning and sewing! 💖💖💖

[@rawismyreligion]

wow, the dress turned out amazing!! so boho!

[@marapprech]

could you do a video on thrifted transformation-preparations/preparations for sowing projects in general? a video summarazing the steps you need to go through or a video on tips and things to think about before and during such a project?

[@naomie4050]

I am so in awe of your skills! Haha I’m just like hoooow the whole time😂 I love how you showed each piece because you could even make from scratch😍

[@tallangel9]

I've always want to do things like this. I love thrifting! I have a few skirts I want to hem and switch up and I have always wanted to take those oversized pinstriped 90s jackets and make them more fitted !! now I think I could thanks to your videos!!

[@sikkukas]

she looks like Michelle Phan on the thumbnail!

[@CrownedLily]

I agree. I've always thought she looks like a younger Michelle Phan like before all the massive fame.

[@emmadilemma9106]

Sooo Asian??

[@sincerelyluna]

really? i dont see it, but she does kind of have similar facial features to Jenn Im (clothesencounters) ☺

[@lakshmimenon4887]

+Luna Kumori Omg true!She does look Jenn!

[@lakshmimenon4887]

+The jams are safe with me look like*

[@naraeay9206]

The clothes she transform are better than clothing from stores. I'm sure if she opened a clothing line people would definitely buy

[@maddysmith3835]

I've been scrolling throughout the comments, and they mostly are positive, which is by good meaning. You are AMAZING at this, and I enjoy watching all of your videos, which give me ideas that I never would have thought up without the help of your channel!!

[@labeauXO]

thank you for creating these videos. like a lot of people, i suffer from anxiety attacks every now and again. when i'm having anxiety/panic attacks at night, your videos calm me down. so thank you

[@LindaThao]

Definitely one of the best transformations!! 💕

[@erinrosekastrup6229]

I don't even sew and I'm watching this.

[@debadev2179]

It’s not hard to learn

[@elenaneens1326]

Thanks.. i hope it's not hard.. I've got a sewing machine for a few years now.. this week in gonna finally try use it

[@kenedeighbara2188]

I need just a small portion of April's creativity and talent. This is just the most amazing channel

[@fantasypaintco]

I wish I had found you 50 years ago, love your style, such fun transformations, way to flow!!!

[@rajeshwari403]

Anyone here watching this but can't even sew a button perfectly!!

[@catherinerintamaki8617]

Wow April.....you are amazing. Could watch your transformations all day. Hope you start your own business you are VERY talented. I use super glue to hem things!! I really loved this dress on you....very pretty.

[@ElanTee]

Your transformations take great skill and patience. Excellent work!

[@TheFancyChild]

You are SO talented!!!! Please be the next Coco Chanel/Christian Dior/Gianni Versace!!!!!! YOU CAN DO IT GIRL! MAKE YO MAMA PROUD

[@sherryhannah498]

Please is unwanted and very very annoying remember that

[@tifft4232]

You should sell some!! I would totally buy it because me & diy don't match :/

[@savannahlake9369]

tiff t the alterations are made for her specifically, it, might be a little bit difficult to take in specific custom requests.

[@americanflika1311]

I have always liked wrap-a-rounds and she brings up to a runway level and above. I especially like the fabric crossing in the right places and an excellent belt.

[@imastraycattoo7443]

I’m so inspired by you! Our daughter is from China and I want to be able to create items for her like this. She’s very petite and it’s difficult to find clothes that fit her. Thank for showing us how you do this! I’m new to sewing and haven’t made clothes at all. It’s intimidating!

[@Kelly-uw1xr]

Well I have no talent so I can't do something like that

[@kellynewman4332]

practice

[@3705faiza]

i feel ya

[@user-ut2ef6ck5c]

i feel you

[@AnimeLover-zt4ho]

Same but i wont give up i started learning how to saw then i will learn how to use the fabric properly

[@GrumpetteJV]

You don't need talent. You need a sewing machine and the motivation to learn. There's tons of tutorials out there to help you.

[@GinaGreenYodels]

you're sew talented!

[@debadev2179]

Gina G excellent word play

[@esalenchik]

Gina G I see what you did there 🤣

[@khwezay]

UNDERRATED 🙋

[@missilamontagne7169]

You are beyond talented! I just started sewing and I get so frustrated!WOW I am in awe of your work!

[@elliejo5620]

the amount of creativity, skill, and talent you have is incredible

[@marissaward6238]

I want your designs to be in stores. I would totally buy your clothes!

[@Lindz102030]

You are so talented! You should look into starting your own clothing line some day.

[@amberalexandra9871]

I love this style of wrap dress!! It shows a nice amount of leg when just standing normally without having to stick your leg out or have the wind blowing lol 😂😍😍 I need to find some good fabric and make one for my trip to FL instead of buying

[@teresag-75]

Wow - this dress was gorgeous before, but your transformation just made it so stunning. WELL DONE.

[@funeralised]

has to be one of my favorites

[@SABOTAGEit]

Ever thought of getting a dress form? I love mine. Helps make clothes exactly your size.

[@pooka994]

She has one

[@SABOTAGEit]

Why doesn't she use it? lol

[@pooka994]

+Cassie Stevens lol she does sometimes. I don't know if it's her exact measurements

[@SABOTAGEit]

I see her using a mannequin, not a dress form.

[@pooka994]

+Cassie Stevens ah okay

[@tildebergstrom5235]

You are marvelous!! I don’t understand how you can recreate a dress and make it look brand new!? Absolutly sumptous!😍✨ Love watching these videos as I feel invigorated afterwards, and one day I will also try to recreate clothes because it looks like alot of fun and you have definitely motivated me!❤️

[@Lotusblume.8]

Wow that came out gorgeous! You have a good eye for fabrics! I can’t really sew yet but I’m learning a lot with you and will be doing some small projects very soon to get my confidence up lol. Thank you for sharing! 💕

[@gabbyp9448]

Wow that was amazing please make a sweater dress next!

[@sherryhannah498]

Gabby P please is not needed wanted or necessary it’s very very annoying remember w

[@marmar8586]

how did you learn how to sew and alter clothing self taught if so how hard is it to learn? schooling or classes

[@burninggarlicbread7869]

Marlynn Jordan she went to college for it

[@angelad8746]

I loved the style of the original dress, but you're transformation is amazing and looks stunning on you!!

[@Eva-vd8os]

I have no words for this. You turned the dress so freaking beautiful, you have talent!

[@chouji08]

this was in my recommended. wow I wouldn't believe that was the same dress if I didn't watch this.

[@desireeroque481]

Do a collab with bestdressed!

[@corellejackson5717]

Girl I'm so proud of you. Not only did you save money but u were able to create an even better version of the dress.

[@18nonnahs]

Wow I’m sooo impressed. I wish I was that creative & talented on the sewing machine! I really enjoyed this video

[@s.mcqueen8149]

Me: I'm gonna make this! Takes out sewing machine Me: Nope.

[@shavellspouncy]

teach me thy ways

[@emic138]

wow! props on thrifting something and turning it into something amazing! you're incredibly talented!!

[@becgrinceri1170]

This might just be my favourite one yet! So amazing!

[@justcuzyoutubesuspendedmya4604]

I’m extremely interested in thrift flips and sewing but I can’t use a sewing machine for life’s sake 😂😭 Like I can easily hand sow but that’s so time consuming

[@xxxGriffling1Dxxx]

You're like the real life true jackson vp

[@akasukihimaru941]

I can't sew for toffee but I love watching your videos, I just find it fascinating that someone can create such beautiful clothing from things that don't even fit.

[@toothfairylarry5468]

You make these transformations look so easy. So pretty. My new fav. Yaaaaaaay

[@Artbug]

That dress definitely needs lining... Unless its just a beach coverup

[@kylieharrison3782]

Unless you wear nude coloured underwear underneath.

[@cloverarcondas3049]

did you go to any kind of school or are you self-taught? either way, you're amazing :)

[@adelewebb9918]

Your work is absolutely stunning, truly amazing talent! Can't wait to try this myself
