DIY Jeans to Crop Top Upcycle + Mother's Day Surprise

[@selinaa24]

I love these videos where clothes are really transformed instead of just cropping a t-shirt and calling it a day this top looks stunning!

[@BlueprintDIY]

Thanks so much!! 😁💕

[@johannakerns2107]

I am impressed that you made this project seem straight forward! When I saw the choices, I thought this top looked really hard. Now it just looks hard-ish! (I'm still a newbie sewer.)

[@BlueprintDIY]

Thanks! I tried to make it as simple as possible because I knew it had the potential to be very confusing.

[@hallievanoutryve3109]

Aw! Your daughter did a great job modeling! She was hitting those poses!! Happy Mother’s Day Angelina! I am so grateful for your channel. You are such an inspiration.

[@BlueprintDIY]

Thanks so much!! 🥰 Yes, she had a blast being in a video after so long.

[@anjak.8183]

I instantly started crying when you said this goes out to all the mothers doing your very best to raise happy and healthy kids. From one mom to another: THANK YOU ❤

[@BlueprintDIY]

You're welcome! It's the hardest job in the world, but so worth it! 💕

[@soulbaby]

“Look at them seams!” I knew I’d subscribe to someone who gets that excited about a beautifully finished seam 😄

[@EloF31]

I was making a tshirt with sleeves just like these and because I was stuck the project has been on hold for a week or so, imagine my surprise when I realized she's showing exactly how to make them! The universe works in mysterious ways.

[@BlueprintDIY]

Yayyy! I'm so glad!! 😁💕

[@jesshothersall]

@@BlueprintDIY I recently bought a simple long dress (an elongated sleevesless stretch T shirt really) which is great but it needs sleeves like this to make it less T shirty, so I too am here for the sleeves, thank you! (think I might use thick crochet type lace?). Lovely video, and so helpful to see how you measure/mark when using your body! :)

[@kathygann7632]

The algorithm sees all!

[@marathonfortruth4768]

I love how fearless you are 1) for attempting and envisioning this in the first place and 2) for FILMING it as you went along. I have been sewing for years and I don't want anyone watching me as I make mistakes! Awesome job!

[@chiararoldanblanco1881]

I love it! And thank you for not using a dress form, I don't have one and this tutorial gave me some good ideas on how to find my way without one.. thank you!!

[@BlueprintDIY]

You're welcome! I just got one last year after many years of sewing, but I really like fitting on myself.

[@graciew4828]

One thing I found was if you put on an old t shirt you don’t mind getting rid of, cover it & yourself in duct tape (wearing the shirt) so the duct tape fits exactly to your body, you can make a body form fitted to you. Cut it in a little bit apart to take it off, then tape it back together. I hope that makes sense! Then you’ll end up with a diy body form that’s exactly your body!

[@Ash-xx5zd]

I love the shout our in the end...single parents raising happy and whole kids....YESSSSSSS. ur daughter is soooo living! Cute tops for both ages!!!

[@BlueprintDIY]

Thanks so much!! 😁🤗

[@manycallmemom8406]

She’s a doll baby! Beautiful.

[@Elle-eq4hy]

you make this video such a welcoming place. you can tell a great mom is talking.

[@tydvilgery3948]

Mother and daughter, so cute you both. She is such a model. congratulations

[@BlueprintDIY]

Thanks so much!! 😁🤗

[@yuliendanie]

15:22 your reaction is basically me too when i do a diy project that i just ~wing~ it and it actually turns out to be great 🤣🤣

[@BlueprintDIY]

Exactly! It's the best feeling ever. 😆

[@miabailey2236]

Your daughter RADIATES confidence and looks thank you for raising her the way you did.

[@BlueprintDIY]

Thank you!! 😊 I'm doing my best. 💕

[@mundaneamazing]

I literally have oversized overalls that just broke and I've wanted a top like this. I could cry! 🥺

[@sylviabaxter8260]

Oh my goodness I love this - so different to what you see on other upcycle videos. I am currently binge watching your channel and in the middle of an overly ambitious upcycle after watching all your mens shirt videos. Keep up the great work!

[@BlueprintDIY]

I wish you all the best on your project! I’m sure it’ll be amazing!!

[@benitaeverett5392]

I love your upcycled ideas. I haven't sewed in over 30 years. I need to get back into it. Your daughter is your twin. You two can definitely compete in a mother daughter twin contest.

[@BlueprintDIY]

Thanks so much!! 😁 Yes, get back to sewing. I took a long break as well.

[@trudiel7353]

Outfits cute as could be. Both of you are model perfect.

[@panacheluxury4262]

I was so excited about this project, Angelina. It turned out amazing! What a sweet moment with you and your daughter modeling identical tops. Happy Mother's Day to you dear and also to your Mom.

[@sunray9941]

[@DawnOldham]

The thing that made this video so awesome for me was seeing the wonderful connection your daughter and you have! It was a beautiful thing to see! God bless you!

[@BlueprintDIY]

[@znycelondon5313]

Beautiful. Twinning 🥰 I will say this........I am going to make it in denim.......before I join my pieces....I will make a drafted pattern.....I see this in leather😉......sooooooo That will be a bonus. The leather one will be laced at the back😊 🥰

[@cookiecreme406]

I'm more of an advanced sewer and all the easy stuff has gotten a little frustrating to find all the time so thanks for making this more advanced one!

[@gulfgypsy]

One of the best and most creative upcycling of a pair of jeans! Your creativity and passion for design is inspiring!

[@BlueprintDIY]

Thanks so much!! 😁

[@danixoxo8637]

Omg you two are adorable.

[@BlueprintDIY]

[@AusRocker]

For a more edgy look...keep all edges raw and fringed. Looks very cool plus easier to make 😜😍

[@BlueprintDIY]

Nice!!

Loving this tutorial! Glad KZbin recommended this

[@BlueprintDIY]

Thanks so much!! 😁

[@pamthetraveler7224]

BRILLIANT!!! Thank you, I followed it and was able to make one. Thank you for doing this without a body form, which I gave away years ago (doh!!!) because it's nice to know it was do'able. You are an amazing teacher. Fun, talented. P.S. My sleeves kept falling off my shoulder so I added a fun chain from side to side in the back. LOVE IT!

[@BlueprintDIY]

Thanks so much!! 😁 Yes, I'm going to add a ribbon to the back of mine as well.

[@gingerginger3413]

I like the way u explain it. Thank u. It's a beautiful work.

[@BlueprintDIY]

Thanks so much!! 😁

[@lynnleipold2617]

You are amazing. I studied fashion design at Syracuse University in the mid ‘60s(yes, I’m that old), but we never did anything this free- wheeling. It turned out adorable on both you and your darling daughter. I couldn’t wear anything this revealing at my age, but what a great inspiration.!

[@BlueprintDIY]

Thank you!! 😊 Wow, that's cool! I didn't go to fashion school, just taught by my mom as a kid.

[@goodviews3597]

Beautiful, I'm always amazed at how you do such fly pieces. Happy Mother's day to you. You and your daughter look so cute. 🥰 Happy Mother's day to your mom as well.

[@BlueprintDIY]

Thanks so much!! 😁 🤗💕

[@SteveandShannonAnderson]

You were so real when you created this - pricking yourself, getting frustrated - but that just makes you all the more relatable! -- This turned out _ah-mazingly!!_ Love the one for your daughter, too - sweet, and just as modest with the cute white sports bra underneath. The lace is an extra nice touch! :) Keep going, you talented mama!!! Blessings, Shannon A.

[@sekaihatsu]

You two look great!

[@BlueprintDIY]

Thank you!! 😊

[@UnusuallyWonderfulbyTT]

This is my first time watching and this was so cute and thorough that I had to subscribe to this channel! Can't wait to see more!

[@volvacations2186]

I ADORE this channel that I just found and immediately subscribed. Most of the upcycle videos I have found and just the same thing over and over. These are truly unique and inspiring. You help me to think more creatively. Just wish I had found this earlier but glad I have now.

[@BlueprintDIY]

Yayyy! I'm so glad!! Welcome to the BlueprintDIY family! 🤗💕 Yes, much more creativity to come. 😁

[@sippinghotchocolate]

[@snuassauns]

I love the idea of using the flat felled seams as finished edges! I cringed a little when you marked on the right side of the fabric but it worked out. I can't wait to attack the stash of clothing in the corner of my room.

[@courtney1889]

this video was amazing. you were so descriptive and fun!

I was wondering why you were using pens. That explains it. Many people just cannot do what you do, they have no concept how to even begin. I was really impressed with this Jean project. I can’t stop watching you and having all this fun.
