DIY Jean Jacket Cropping and Adding Fringe / Thrift Flip!

[@carolelam9589]

Just got my first pair of pink power electric scissors! Game changer! Now I’m pulling things out of my closet, deconstructing, repurposing.. don’t ever stop sharing Traci! I’m addicted!

[@tmyershandmade978]

Aww love that!!!🤗💞💞💞💞💞

[@AusRocker]

Your tutorials are so great for beginners because you go into every single little detail I actually fast forward a lot of it and mute them unless it’s a part I need to hear. I guess after sewing for over 50 years I usually know what you’re going to say next

[@michaelsnider2484]

Our Dear Ms. Meyers: The colors in the jacket as it came are so lovely, and the fringe blends perfectly beautifully! Thanks so much for your help finding this video! Gorgeous 😍!

[@tmyershandmade978]

Aww my pleasure, thank you🤗💞💞💞💞

[@karosparrow]

So funny! I just started a similar project before even seeing this video. I cut suede fringe from an old skirt, and topped it with bands of floral trim. I tried to sew the sleeves this way, but ended up taking the bottom sleeve seams apart so I could have an easier sewing experience...will sew them back after sewing the fringe and trim. Though I didn't see this actual video before, you've been my inspiration for thinking outside the box and for crazy, creative layering. Thank you!!

[@tmyershandmade978]

Love that! Your jacket sounds amazing!🤗💞💞💞💞

[@JillOchsner]

Thank you so much for these tutorials! I feel we are kindred spirits. I make a lot of the same things you've made over the years. Lately, I've been upcycling clothes and your tutorials have really helped me. I was afraid to cut up clothes at first, but now I love it.

[@evorastrouse4161]

I remember when your channel came across on my feed. My first response, beautiful! Then, oh I could never do any of this. However, when I decided what I wanted to attempt, you walked me right through the process....I'm finding my love of creation through sewing...yes, complete with true seems and such...no more fudging bc I was wanting not to work that hard....I learned, that process is sooo rewarding and worth the cost🌟🌟🌟🔔🔔🔔🎵🎵🎵😎😎😎🥰🥰🥰💯💯💯🌄🌄🌄

[@LindaCooper-r6f]

I love your blue jean jacket i came across your website the other day my passion for sewing started when i was 13 yrs old my Dad didn't have a lot of money so i was happy with a needle & thread as long as i had that i was happy just as long as i was sewing my passion for sewing is still today but have up grated a lot since then i was making hairbows for my first granddaughter all her hairbows were one of a kind then i started making American Doll Clothes cuz i bought her a American Girl Doll on her 4th birthday & now that i've seen your purse tutorials i've got to make some of them THANK YOU TRACY FOR INSPIRATION OF KEEPING MY SEWING SKILLS UP GRATED EVEN MORE

@@tmyershandmade978 Just finished it ❤🥳 instead of stitching on the fringing ( I did the same measurement as you 12 inches length and half an inch wide strips ) I ended up permanently fabric glueing it instead of stitching it so it was a bit easier down the narrow sleeves , it may come apart a few washes down the track but I’ll worry about that if it happens, thank you for this lovely tutorial I’ve got the same jacket in leather never thought about making it in denim ❤

I love this jacket!! Tracy, what does your sewing machine table say? Did you make it?

[@tmyershandmade978]

Hi there, I did a short little video on what my table says. Here is the link, my friend: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGK4dGWMecxlps0

[@KatrinaB188]

Do you have the option to cover or disengage your feed dogs and use an embroidery foot to be able to “sew sideways” when you get to sleeves?? That is a game changer! Can also be used on pants when making patches or sewing material on the top of pant legs.

[@tmyershandmade978]

I am going to investigate this, thank you so much 🤗💕💕💕💕💕

[@KatrinaB188]

@@tmyershandmade978 I have a singer stylist 7258. Bought it “used” for $100. I’ve tried it but it does take some practice because you are able to free flow the material, so stitching may not always be perfect when you first start! 😊 but it is an alternative to purchasing a higher end machine that can switch direction. I looked it up before I found out mine could do it and those are about 5K! 😳

[@robinmcbride1501]

Great jacket! Does it matter which direction the denim is cut? Does the direction change how the fringe will lay? Im going to do a test to see if it curls up cut one way or the other. Thanku so much Tracy. Lavoie Boho NC USA 2023

[@tmyershandmade978]

I've never paid attention to the direction. I'd love to hear how your experiment turns out 🤗💞💞💞
