Thrifted Transformations | Ep. 43

[@Rachgonzalez0524]

I honestly wish your designs were sold in stores. I'd love to have a prom dress designed by you.

[@zahara1115]

Same!!

[@kaitlynnramirez5694]

Rachel Gonzalez , Omg!!! YYYYEEEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!!!

[@thelittleunicorn6196]

YES

[@greeshmathankachan9894]

True

[@wongsiug]

It is beautiful and u look great!

[@artisanamy]

I love that not only does she make gorgeous pieces, but she never seems to say anything bad about the original clothing.

[@pippajoy]

That's cuz she makes bad so good 😀

[@홍홍홍-f8d]

oh my goodness this turned out even better than i thought it would by looking at the thumbnail. probably one of my favourites now. i hope there are prom dresses similar to this, i would love to wear it.

[@malissahe7782]

I like how she explanes this as if someone would be able to create it

[@gunjanvyas9065]

Tammy Chen someone who knows stitching will 🤨

[@courtneyrichardson8758]

@@gunjanvyas9065 she is saying that no one can do the same thing because the clothes are thrifted

[@zainylainy1]

But she gives a person wonderful ideas on what you could do with similar items. She makes her own patterns, but you can buy patterns and do the same thing with the clothing.

[@szacharyf]

I sure feel inspired.

[@coconutshrimp7919]

She's making a joke.. like saying nobody is talented enough to recreate this.

[@thepinkflamingostrikesagai7319]

Love that you are turning out of fashion clothes into stylish new fashion. Now that what I call saving the environment. By making sure that one less piece of synthetic fabric goes into a landfill.

[@Bobbiegel]

I don't usually leave comments but I just gotta say this, you should DEFINITELY design a collection of your own! Seriously, your thrifted designs are so much better than what is sold out there

[@hannahe8556]

I liked how much more you talked about your thought process in this video!

[@coolirpa]

Hannah E thanks! I had to share it cus I was so amazed when it turned into a skirt lol

[@digitalbreakthroughs]

Hannah E Glad you mentioned this. I agree.

[@davidferrer678]

even though I'm a guy I just wanted to say all your tips and tricks for sewing have helped me in my journey, now I can tailor all my own clothing and started to pick up thrift items to make them nicer :)

[@marich91]

Holy crap, it's not only gorgeous but the finishes, especially on the inside, are incredible! It's better finished than most clothes sold in stores O.ô

[@vincenzo00]

just saw 2 minutes of one of your transformations. Thanks for showing us your beautiful creations. You are one extremely talented lady !!

[@AshleyAmbrose94]

went from hideous to super classy love it

[@angelle2704tl]

I would love to see a bridesmaid gown or wedding gown turn into a high end jumper.

[@JustForFunST]

Tien Le That is a really good idea!

[@natasharose]

Tien Le yes!!! things like bridesmaid dresses etc only get worn once, but they're often made of such nice fabric, it would be really cool so see April transform one into a jumper!

[@angelle2704tl]

Natasha Rose I think she should do a series on bridesmaids dress transformation.

[@barakulikeahurricane]

Tien Le Amazing idea!!!

[@changedmaname4634]

Bridesmaid Dresses are very expensive, maybe someone who wants theirs transformed could send it to her, along with their body measurements. That way April doesn't have to buy a wedding dress

[@skyetrue-hagenstein1778]

You should try out for project runway!😊

[@Oliuniverse]

Skye True-Hagenstein Ikr! She's so talented and creative!

[@Rawr98]

Skye True-Hagenstein I thought that show was over! 😱

[@Zairanang]

Nope. We're on season 15 now.

[@Gg961211]

Someone from one of her other videos said she was invited but declined because she didn't feel like she was ready :) don't know if it's true tho

[@neko3able]

Skye True-Hagenstein she's not ready

[@AlexL001]

You killed it. The print. the cut. the flow of the dress. Amazing.

[@noreenleech3193]

Who isn't actually gonna make anything, and is just here because this looked cool?

[@josephinewinter]

i got completely lost during the top half, watching you for me is like watching a conjuring trick, but i still enjoy it immensely!

[@arianaa2734]

Josephine Winter samee

[@brennonnaquin29]

I understood but it may be because I always sew.

[@arianaa2734]

I don't know how to sew and I want to learn so it's a learning process for me

[@sugarcoatedlovee]

wtf she turned an old lady sleepwear to a date night dress

[@polaricecaps10]

Not even a date night dress... a prom dress!

[@yoriunicorn1889]

Exacly that what i thought

[@marzentines]

It was literally a moo moo She turned into this gorgeous gown What is life!

[@yuliwang1268]

nooooo! it's the dress of every girls dreams!

[@chaparracm643]

sugarcoatedlovee cause she can

[@MyNameIsBrianaCeja]

you look like a celebrity/artist walking down the red carpet!!

[@elaine1158]

Wow. Even if I never pick up sewing, your videos make me appreciate what goes into fashion and clothing so much more. So impressed.

[@loser7528]

Tip: Sand the sharps ends of boning so it doesn't wear the fabric down and rip through it

[@bmeo1234]

i would buy your thrifted transformations.

[@bmeo1234]

and yayyy!! 1 million!!!!

[@rimla4506]

I would buy the dress too !! it's so pretty!! but I think it would have been prettier if she didn't cut the front. a long skirt would have been better more classy imo

[@lucywynne8030]

Bianca B ikr! I am making this rn!!

[@zeldarp10]

old country

[@moniquecoetzee1091]

She did not cut the front, she explained how she was making it in the beginning as the dress already had that design out for her.

[@Lobstrique]

oh my god, April. this top is so professional it's so cool to see your skill improve so much! i'm so impressed and inspired by you!

[@angelica3744]

How great that you go out and buy super inexpensive clothing and transform them into pieces people would pay 100s for. Just one suggestion, could you please put how much you purchased the original item for in your future videos? I think it would add to the wow factor.

[@romy4593]

I have been enjoying her videos! I do sew and don't have a mannequin. I do things the old fashioned way but get great results. I was altering a dress shirt and its way easier then I thought it would be. Getting a sewing machine at a thrift store would be a great idea for anyone looking to save a lot of money on clothes! You can create so much using your own old clothes and cheap clothes you can buy at discount racks. I always look for damaged items I can fix and buy cheap. Also altering those to fit. Watching these videos helps you see what you can do with the really big items that have beautiful fabrics! I will be doing this kind of work now. Thank you for these videos!

[@jesusm4773]

I'm a guy with no interest in fashion, but her pure talent keeps me watching her videos. Good job

[@Maryangel24]

oh my god, it's like give this girl a garbage bag and she'll turn it into the most beautiful silk dress... how. dem skillz.

[@poochizzle]

amber scholl made a video on that!

[@kellychapman9811]

she used a trash bag in her BB-8 costume

[@jennathepig5672]

Check out Amber Scholl

[@drinsey143]

OMG!!! that top with a burgundy skiiiiirt YAAAASSSS!!!!!Great job once again April!

[@coolirpa]

Andrins N thanks! I'm excited to pair the top with other bottoms! 😁😁

[@nrsimmons178]

Andrins N Oh! Burgundy palazzo pants with the sailor button front! Or, am I just being extra? Love her work!

[@nicyali2469]

You must have the best wardrobe ever 😩😩

[@vanessacrehan6806]

You make sewing seems so easy. I can’t even set the thread properly in the needle of the sewing machine. You are gifted!!!!

[@suzanneribas2796]

I have been sewing for fortyfive years. Started when i was about fifteen. You remind me of me!

[@alexandramendoza6956]

Who else doesn't even sew... You're just here to see the amazing transformations

[@myuhhh1276]

This is ridiculously gorgeous. I'd wear it to prom.

[@zainabumer7575]

Dint understand shit but still watched it with full concentration.

[@howlwhat4498]

hahaha same!!!

[@juliasvancitylife3927]

Same ha ha

[@kellychapman9811]

i watch before i sleep, its so relaxing

[@sarkysue4938]

Same! 😂😂

[@senaertem5995]

You are incredibly talented. My mother is a couturier and I grew up to be a very finicking girl especially when it comes to dressmaking. And I can say, you're killing it both aestheticly and technically. Love from Istanbul.

[@xtina22e]

You are so very talented and have an amazing eye for fashion!!! I'm blown away by your ability to visualize something completely different from the pieces you start with!!! 😍

[@punktattooguy7439]

Wow this one was as elegant as it was incredibly difficult looking! Props to you for being born with such style and working toward your goals!

[@creativecheersoffashionlau7364]

I love how the hem of the skirt flows with the horsehair in it! beautiful!!

[@mspatti]

How much did you spend on this transformation? It is lovely, You look great in it.

[@coolirpa]

mspatti it took me 2-3 days

[@hughmungous4893]

coolirpa I think she meant in terms of cost :) (I actually want to know too)

[@weeloi]

hugh mungous In her description it says she spent around an extra $25 for the lining and horse hair and stuff :)

[@GabrieleMBest00]

in descrpition

[@lovingxuxi6393]

taehyung

[@ArielMorris]

I’m so happy to have found your channel! This is SO right up my alley!! I do this stuff all the time! Usually to make stuff for my daughter, not to sell... But how awesome that you have created a lucrative business for yourself!!

[@bereasonable8018]

Your design and finished product is absolutely gorgeous. I just wish I knew enough about sewing that I could follow along and understand each step of the construction.

[@Judith21123]

probably my favorite transformation you've ever done! the end result is so gorgeous!

[@penneyburgess5431]

So much gorgeous fabric. I'm glad you used as much as possible.

[@emileymack]

Killed it as per usual!! This might be one of my favourites you've ever done :)

[@arianaa2734]

itsEmiley I really liked the peachy summer one she did. But this is so awesome that she designed a more formal look. Honestly I would've worn it to my Homecoming maybe even prom with some nice jewelry and a half up-half down hair-do

[@christinemylinh]

itsEmiley I agree!!! I love how it flows and the bodice is just perfect!

[@arianaa2734]

I probably would add some quarter inch to an inch thick straps that I could tie into a bow around my neck and that's all. I did wear a strapless dress for prom and dancing and even sitting became difficult (it was a ball gown so yeah...)

[@arianaa2734]

Silk like straps would be nice

[@nrsimmons178]

Ariana Espinosa Great idea about the straps-I love the halter style!

[@HeresWhyILikeIt]

Holy cow! This is amazing! You are so talented at sewing, but also the way you could look at that piece and envision transforming it like that is beyond impressive!!

[@morielbelofarah]

You make it look soooo easy!!! You're gifted! God bless you Girl!

[@tssdr9419]

Your house interior has such a nice color palette

[@juliapecora]

the video hasn't even started and i love it.

[@thejoshchannel999]

Burn the witch because that is literally wizardry.

[@hjpapow]

Josh Thomas lol. I didn't see your comment before I posted nearly the same thing.

[@nrsimmons178]

Josh Thomas Too late, she's already on FIRE!!! Lol!

[@jaydinkaawa35]

Imma need about 10 years of sewing experience to be half as good as you oml youre like a sewing fairy

[@michelleburke403]

You are so talented and gifted! Great eye for fashion, seeing beyond what the normal eye comprehends. God bless you~

[@sewaldodiy]

I love the floral print so pretty!

[@Cindyy1209]

Gosh darn it April you've done it again! 👏🏼

[@Simarchy]

Stunning! You and the dress!

[@Infomatic10]

Stunning. Though this is not a DIY channel. Your expertise as a seamstress is amazing.

[@duck5889]

I just found this channel and now I'm going to be watching these all night. So amazing!

[@sarahgreen3693]

I really wish I was patient enough to make my own clothes but I get frustrated easily and id probably end up launching the sewing machine through a window.

[@bannaboo27]

honestly me

[@livinglovinR]

Sarah Green That's totally me, no patience 😑

[@iliek3102]

Sarah Green 😂😂

[@TheCagedKittyDoll]

Sarah Green Try making pillows first. Its super easy to sew a square and stuff it. Thats how I started sewing; it built up my tolerance and now I sew whole garments and costumes!

[@jordanbrookins2279]

Sarah Green Right 😂😂

[@martymar5570]

I can see you being a winner on project runway. love your work

[@rociomercado2738]

You need an actual show on tv ! You are amazing !!

[@rbffbvs]

Your visions of what these things can become amazes me. The couture sewing is wonderful as well! You should be on Project Runway!

[@TheeGaoSter]

This has got to be one the best transformations you've ever done! Bravo!!

[@LightieeT]

One of my favorites from you April

[@amazingabby25]

I love it. I can't believe how simple it looks comparatively, now I just need the same kind of dress

[@Froginia]

Wow!!! That went from blah to absolutely stunning!!!

[@mercedesvillaruz7097]

I didn't understand a word she said but I couldn't stop watching..!.. what a talented young lady..

[@4UStevePerry]

This is one of my favorites yet. April, I love threadbangers too. I made a quilted bag from that umbrella bag video. I used a whole bunch of 3 inch squares instead. I use it for the beach. So easy to wash.

[@audreyjavan2384]

You'll get to 1 million in no time. You deserve it. Love your videos! ♡♡

[@slooooopy118]

I want to stick you in my pocket when I go thrift shopping now.

[@Ritaaw1]

SLOOOOOPY Follow her in snapchat :)

[@InMay]

Omg! This is actually my favourite transformation ever!!

[@Ilovevintage77]

Incredible!! Fashion plait you make me so happy watching these!!! Such lovely whimsical imagination I bet all your Gfs must love all your clothes!! I’m binging your videos. Thank you for making my day.

[@lassra]

You are amazing. I would have looked at that dress and thought, "love the fabric, what a pity", and tossed it into a goodwill bin. It's shocking what you looked at it as saw, then transformed it into. LOVE IT!

[@MemeSalih84311]

They need to give you a tv show already

[@jordiidoll]

Dang, I didn't even realize how fast this channel grew. I've been here since about 1k and now you're over here with 1million plus, congrats April 💖💖💖

[@daringbecky1743]

you are simply fabulous I lov your work

[@mls4089]

Brilliant and beautiful!!! Again, I don't sew but I'm inspired by your talent, your knowledge and your ingenuity. This transformation is fabulous (and not too short in the crotch). You look amazing and more comfortable moving around in it as well, compared to the remake on the cute, little-embroidered denim dress overhaul. Very, very well done! I will continue watching your videos.

[@roxanaloera5421]

The 2 piece floral outfit is beautiful!

[@Mechee14]

cant wait to see you on proyect runway

[@sspute]

Meche Landeira when is she going? ?

[@Mechee14]

oh sorry i didnt mean she was going now, i mean i hope she goes one day

[@katherinesalkeld558]

Meche Landeira they actually contacted her months ago or a year ago i think and she told them she wasnt quite ready for the challenge yet, but i cant wait either!

[@Mechee14]

really???? thats awesomeeeeeee

[@Valathia]

This video just made me subscribe for the atitude. I love how she admitted that she had to use double sided tape to keep the top up, not making unrealistic expectations if you do something like that and it doesn't stay up. That's the kind of realistic atitude I love

[@katiek9328]

its so pretty oh my god! im actually in awe, amazing job as always april!!!!!

[@NoraDesmond897]

I loved the kaftan, and liked what you did with it. SUPER flowy skirt looks really pretty .

[@aileenveebee3044]

You're beyond talented !! Thank you for recycling thrift garments... much appreciated 💕☺️

[@shevy_shev93]

She is so talented. My head hurts watching this!!! How does one do this is effortlessly?

[@kilaa3417]

This is legit so creative I'm in love

[@genericname6444]

The end result looks epic. I really wanna have that but I'm lazy

[@aliciao.5731]

Love her outfit and her creativity.

[@diedrapayne6202]

Oh my goodness, girl ! You did the train exactly as I envisioned it. What a stylish femme fetal . You are simply the Queen of the Machine! 🤗🤗🤗

[@xanny1799]

[@awsomeabacus9674]

your transformations are always so much better than the originals, but i would be way too nervous to actually do it

[@gabrielledavis9732]

I love this young lady! Thank you for these videos. You love what you do then it's a career. This is her dream. Thank you again!!!

[@MrsTeea]

This is the first time in my 25 years that I have EVER hit the SUBSCRIBE button. Good luck, girl!

[@Hunnyluvx0]

[@shaikhaaljaberi4571]

She needs to apply for project runway

[@barrocaspaula]

The Random Sheikha She's too good to be in project runway..

[@hartofartdestineestewart5694]

The Random Sheikha agreed ! I love that show. she could win those challenges so easily with her talent

[@swessel75]

All I can say is WOW! These videos and transformations are wonderful! Thanks for doing them!

[@dixitapatel4283]

I love the way she changed an old outfit into a glamorous out fit. She has given me lots of ideas that I will put to use. Awesome, please carrying on giving new ideas and seam less techniques to make outfit look shop bought. Thanks again,

[@ItsGloryDaze]

That's beautiful!!! I wish I was that talented with sewing 😭

[@truthseeker5496]

You are gifted! Beautiful work

[@BlackGirlLovesAnime6]

Why are people still writing first instead of writing their own original comment. It's annoying. why dont you "first" commentors comment about how she did a wonderful job instead of leaving a stupid comment

[@xNadou06220]

kibaAndrenjiluver16 haha exactly !! Generally the people who comment first do it even before they had the chance to watch the video

[@andromachke]

why are people still complaining about others that leave first comments instead of writing their own original comment. It's annoying. why don't you 'complaining' commentors comment about how she did a wonderful job instead of leaving such a negative comment.

[@pixlmemory8919]

kibaAndrenjiluver16... thous people who do that are called kids... so don't get worked up about it... 😆

[@Samidooble]

kibaAndrenjiluver16 here, here! Kiba! Kiba! Kiba!

[@LoopyLaloo]

kibaAndrenjiluver16 dude, people get excited about being early. people will usually comment something else after anyway so just mind your own business because it's not harming you nor anyone else.

[@ellawarwick462]

I know absolutely nothing about sewing but love watching her videos!

[@stephanie.1658]

The final dress was so beautiful!!
