[@sammywashere123]

I don't understand half of what you do in these videos, but I love watching them.

[@janazawa]

sammy linarez same! I don't even understand the terms she uses but it's fascinating to watch!

[@natashadame4397]

lol ikr

[@fikreterudari966]

sammy linarez me tooo :/

[@nazairenedacasin193]

I actually don't understand what she's saying, because I hate sewing, but I love her vids so much😂😂

[@Jasmine2Sham]

sammy linarez 👍🏻 yep it helps me to get through the night

[@NikkiHarrisFilms]

That suit when from looking like a depressed NYC social worker in 1997 to a New York Fashion Week centerpiece.

[@florencepierce1864]

Absolutely! So inventive & cool!

[@mcmysticmessenger3812]

YOU SHOULD MAKE A MYSTERY SERIES WHEN YOU RECIEVE RANDOM CLOTHES FROM SOMEONE AND TRANSFORM THEM !

[@nafisamuniyat7691]

MiyuMayu she did

[@natashadame4397]

which episode?

[@ChezFeroce]

41 lol

[@TheForeverMelanie]

please go on project runway 😩😩😩

[@elizabethornelas8774]

Melanie Castro I keep telling the same thing!

[@Warsnop]

Only problem is that she says her transformations can take weeks, and Project Runway gives you a couple days...

[@abbypayne4682]

+Khzunara true

[@situative4066]

Khzunara but that could be due to stuff like LIFE? when you are on the show you aint gotta do anything but work

[@TheForeverMelanie]

overall its her decision, i just really feel that her talent is too amazing to not show the world on a larger scale ❤

[@SimoneBeauty1234]

Thank you ! I can finally transform my mother's old blazers into something great !

[@imsuchaqueen7449]

TaySimone I CANT WAIT TILL YOU REACH 1MILLION SUBSCRIBES I'll be so happy for you I love all of your transportations

[@cmmiestcat]

Her transportation sure looks cool.

[@taibaimam7811]

LoserlyCool 😂😂😂

[@SkinnyGirlFatHair86]

I am so obsessed with your channel right now. You are amazingly talented! I'm still a baby beginner, but I hope I can get on your level with practice. One day. Haha!

[@mummyarii3295]

SkinnyGirlFatHair sub for sub

[@florencepierce1864]

I'm just "yumming up" these older ThriftTrans-es … O.M.Goddess! I'd forgotten how hot (& cool) you make a cape blazer look. If only I'd had Thrifted Transformations back when I was a Secretary - I would've blown them all away! Thanks again for yet another great vid.

[@jamh1054]

Less than five videos in and I'm already in love with your works. You can't see me but I'm giving you a standing ovation,.

[@user-ub3ke4ls5d]

Ohhhh wowww she is real talented. People who have sense of real fashion and styles will always know what best to wear or transform into it. She should have her own brand and trademark. You go girl!

[@mayaj291]

I love your version better than the capes I've seen in the stores

[@BMoll87]

I bought myself a sewing machine today, because of you, April! :)

[@pm30pm]

I know nothing about stichting and I am still watching your videos on loop. So addictive and you are amazingly talented

[@LexiL31]

I ran here from snapchat 😂 I just got my first sewing machine and am about marathon your whole KZbin channel❤️

[@amoj9547]

alexis Llamas same! ❤️

[@prajaktajoshi6280]

alexis Llamas same here

[@julezxluv]

i'm a san diego native and these videos are a little piece of home when i'm away at college. thanks april!

[@Fabulousstyle21]

it looks so expensive! you did an amazing job.

[@2degucitas]

How long the cape is depends on the length of the skirt, so keep this in mind when buying a skirt suit to do this project.

[@ZannaZatanna1]

good point!

[@bloosumda1]

While seeing you walk in slow motion, u seem like a goddes/model!! I love ur thrifted trans.

[@hw7348]

I've never sewn in my life but you inspire me to try. I struggle so much finding clothes that I not only love but that also fit, that don't cost me a fortune.

[@mariabali221]

This girl is a fashion diva!!! Thumbs up? ABSOLUTELY!

[@SubversiveStyle]

Such a cool idea...can guys wear cape jackets? 🤔 Ima do it anyway

[@RussianHerobrine]

UwanaWhat clothes have no gender so why tf not 👐👏👀

[@accountdeactivated5261]

i say hell yeah

[@mints9047]

UwanaWhat I'm sure you'd look fab man go for it!

[@SubversiveStyle]

Don't judge me, but I feel like I have before lmao, no joke.

[@smasem90]

no Please not for guys. guys are rivalling us in every piece of clothes.

[@iLOVEpicklesBRO28]

There's things you'll start with and I have no idea how you'd make it into anything cute, but you always succeed. Good job

[@maca1ronnie]

would you ever consider selling some of your transformations?

[@Stahlherz]

I'm a professional seamstress and a Clothing and Textile Technology student and I've been watching your videos for a while. They're the bomb!!! Keep em coming! I especially love this one!

[@101ineke]

Love the clean lines, so modern and yet old fashion.

[@elainamcclendon5593]

you are so pretty April and I always look forward to watching your videos. I am 13 years of age and you inspire me to go bold and beyond thanks for the videos. congrats on 10,000 in advance

[@littleyellowbird9556]

When I think you can't possibly surprise me you make you make that gorgeous cape!!!!!😍 I want it so freaking bad!

[@dlynch4ever]

Omg, I thought I would try this for sure until I saw you actually do it. It’s the lining that will throw me off. I will keep this one in the archives for later! You got SKILLS!

[@jesschappell647]

this is teally cool, i hate wearing full sleeves so this could be a great alternative to an office jacket love it!

[@AnMandyy]

At first; THANK YOU for wearing just that choker !! I found a piece of rhinestones linked together just like that and now I know what to do with iiiiittt !! *excited* And also I love this tutorial. I bought a blazer I used once and that's it. I'm soo gonna do this but I think I need to watch this again a few times so I won't mess up 😇

[@PcGirl]

I would love to see more of little outfits for kids like you did for the cousin. Soo freaking cute!

[@LamiaVeneficus]

Your cape blazer looks awesome, I have had an large old blazer in the bottom of my closet for 2 years that I have been wanting to make a cape coat out of. I am still a beginner sewer but maybe your video will now inspire me to finally do it!

[@Sally-hc5bz]

The final outfits were amazingly beautiful! Loved all the boots

[@FadhiliTheOne]

This is by far one of the best caped blazer tutorials on KZbin! I always felt like the other ones weren't as fitting or properly porportionated but by using the endemble rather than just the top makes for a great fit!

[@carolinetimpson3470]

I've asked for a sewing machine for Christmas because I'm so impressed and inspired by your videos! I hope you get to 1 million soon because you deserve it!

[@jessielovesfashion]

Your talent is absolutely incredible! There's no doubt in my mind that your future in the fashion industry is bright and successful. I know you will make it to the top. 👏

[@bthao4]

It's been raining the past couple of days where I live. Not enjoying it. However, so glad and always looking forward to your videos! Such creative ideas...

[@noelia.mp4]

I'M LIVING!!! The glittery boots are dope too

[@bydesignmedia]

I love how this cape turned out.

[@zheahra]

I've been seeing this type of dress jacket. You did a awesome job recreating the look!

[@Chaoticconstellation]

I was actually just looking up patterns and what not to make an Inverness Cape like this (but longer) and having trouble finding any, this made the 'how the heck do I draft a pattern for this' part of my sewing madness so much simpler! What luck, Thank you!

[@MyTaylordCloset]

great idea it came out amazing. I tried to turn a boyfriend style blazer into a cape blazer but it wasn't working out. I never thought to use a suit. Its genius I need to go thrifting. you are so inspiring I love sewing and reconstructing my clothes.

[@MRSguitarHEREo]

I'm in love with the white romper/dress!

[@tillymatilda897]

oh Lord, this woman is so talented.

[@melmelm.9283]

His is by far my favorite thrifted transformation!!! The dress outfit at the end gives me life 😍

[@lemonlemonade1333]

I am so in love with your channel once i get my sewing machine I'm so gonna transform all my old clothes to this amazing new clothes

[@reflexology52welsh48]

Girl, some designer house, needs to scoop you up, your so talented!

[@norisahyussup7448]

Reflexology52 Welsh agree

[@m3lisha]

Literally the best cape jacket I've seen

[@onabudgetlife8223]

Omg I love your channel, I'm on a non-stop binge right now! You are so talented and inspiring. Can't wait for more

[@upcycledwear]

she makes it look so easy, beautifully done

[@Justin-TimeForDaShitz]

The best DIY I have witnessed thus far.

[@christim1428]

Living in the Bay Area. Weather is cloudy ☁️⛅️☁️ #snapfam

[@fms06catwalk]

I luv capes.. This thrifted transformation is amazing.. I wish someday you will go on a project runway..

[@andiecrager5286]

I think this is your best transformation to date. Really great!

[@ed6954]

Looks awesome with the white shirt and black pants!

[@UniRouxXx02]

LOVED the outfits you paired the cape with!

[@SensationallySilky]

I literally binge watched your TT's about a month ago and somehow this one never popped up. Absolute GENIUS.

[@bpaulsen6701]

You can get inexpensive feet individually or in basic sets from Amazon or Ebay. Most of my feet were $1 with free shipping, and I bought 1 set that was only $11. I'm down to needing specialty {aka wish list} feet like beading and sequins. I figure it will be around $15 for those, but I'm pacing myself as a reward for completing the projects I already have going. The only one I don't think you should cheap-out on is the walking foot as one that is poorly made can damage the machine, so that will be a big reward for around $25. For now, my knit foot works fine. THANK YOU FOR THE INCENTIVE to get my projects done, you always inspire me to work harder and be more creative. :)

[@amieeyb]

It's snowing where I live!!!😍❄️ So beautiful!!!❄️😍

[@mspatti]

That Bill Blass suit never looked so good. Was it wool crepe? It pressed and was hanging so beautifully. Your styling was perfect.

[@mspatti]

I really would like for you to discuss the fiber you are working with and discuss pressing. How you got the look you ended with is due, to some degree to the fiber and your pressing

[@suzieperez1235]

my sewing skills have gotton better because of you! ❤

[@HowNice1998]

I live in Denmark and there is freeeezing!!! Love you by the way

[@Etcetorize]

What a smart idea! I never would've thought to refashion the skirt in that way. Thanks for the inspiration :)

[@chiledawgg]

I think this is my favorite thing you've ever made

[@andresvelez7847]

Those boots are really cool but i think (personally), it would look even better with a pair of stilettos :). I really love your transformations, you really are someone to look up to, such creativity and fashion sense...

[@gegeschannel8836]

You should be on one of the design shows on TV. Very inventive

[@ena3969]

Holy crap this one has to be my absolute favourite Thrifted Transformation!! I would totally buy this if you sold this. LOVE IT I NEED ONE!

[@FridayFrida]

Love the straight minimalistic lines!

[@carolinanoriega3813]

I love the color you chose and the transformation was cool!

[@Alienjoy2013]

SUPER AMAZING!!!! I don't ever see how I will dislike any of your videos. They are all so so so so so amazing!!!

[@Alienjoy2013]

[@georgiaandrews7885]

[@Taintsimpson]

[@marissadolan5979]

Love your videos! They always inspire me! I'm currently staying a year in Germany and right now it's 31 F!!!

[@kettyglaser]

Wow! Such a great transformation! A wonderful idea to make! Thank You. Greatings from Venice-Italy. Ketty.

[@kabrams5671]

U r so blessed with the gift of sewing!!

[@yahzea]

Love the intro of the finish look.

[@k1tkat-kate]

THIS IS THE COOLEST!!!!! Hello Princess Leia vibes 💕💕💕👌👌👌

[@ShabbaHakimJediInHeels]

I wish I was good at sewing. I can stitch up people but clothes not so much.

[@siannaperez4186]

Shabba Hakim plz tell me ur a doctor😂

[@ShabbaHakimJediInHeels]

Pickles :- P haha yes of course

[@rhijulbec1]

Shabba Hakim If you can suture, you can sew! I got into sewing as a way to have a lot of clothing without being rich in high school, lol. As a nurse practitioner, I used my abilities to ace suturing. So if I can do it you can too. I found suturing much harder than hand sewing.

[@brightwinismylife3952]

That requires talent too... u r talented

[@norisahyussup7448]

Shabba Hakim what are you stitch up people you work I d mourge

[@thebluestarz]

So coooooool! Always love watching your transformations. Your knowledge of pattern cutting and draping is amaaazing

[@mistellewillis3684]

New Zealand, summers coming😍🙌🏽🌥🌤☀️

[@rubylicious1]

By far this is my favorite transformation since I work in an office setting. Its so hard to find a suit set , I'm really new to using the sewing machine, but I'm definately up for the challenge.

[@thefrenchmode]

Wow, what a stylish transformation ! Well done ! I think I'll try this one out, it's so cool ! Xx

[@BlackCherriesxx]

I honestly adore this transformation and pretty much all of your others, ive been spamming this channel so much recently its all i watch at work between calls haha keep it up we love you!!

[@alisonjin4481]

I really like this transformation! It turned out amazing!!!

[@lynnn3794]

Wow! It looks amazing and I love how you styled it!
