DIY Plaid Maxi Skirt Upcycle | Major Thrift Flip!

[@sharonharris3663]

Wow!!! What a great project. Since you posted the picture of the tiered men’s dress shirt skirt this summer I have been looking for plaid and flannel shirts to make a fall version. This fits the bill so will. I appreciate when you throw in other styles that aren’t your vibe. It shows the depth of your skill as an up-cycler.

[@BlueprintDIY]

Thanks so much!! 😁💕

[@cheshkat6321]

When my husband was alive, he wore red flannel shirts almost every day. Gifted to him from his mom every Christmas and birthday. Even before we dated. Color I dislike the most is red. Orange is in same level of dislike. Fortunately, someone gave my husband a hint about not wearing plaid so much around the woman you want to date. Seeing the thumbnail images of your videos, I keep in mind that everything is according to taste - the upcycle process is the inspiration. I would probably make this skirt for winter wear with blues and grays. And make the front hem higher to show my boots and easier walking. I am the one long skirts don't work well because I automatically step on the skirt in the front over and over. Learned that simply making a front hem adjustment decades ago because I love full skirts with boots. With boots and different colors, this would be something I would wear all winter. No doubt.

Angelina, I must have watched this video ten times since you posted. I’m finally starting on mine today. I had a different vision for mine & couldn’t figure out how to get there, but I am ready now. Thank you for the never-ending inspiration. You are a treasure ❤❤❤

[@mdavisscadedu]

I too liked it better with the sleeves tied in the front. Exciting news. So glad you're going so strong.

[@BlueprintDIY]

Thank you!! 😊

[@elothegreat3011]

I ❤❤❤ this!! I have been wanting to make one for a while now but was hesitant. Thank you for doing and showing so that i know how to accomplish this feat. It looks abaolutely amazing!! Geeat job!! ❤

[@eicarg4663]

Everything you touch turns into gold. I love it!!!!

[@BlueprintDIY]

Thank you!! 😊💕

[@Rabbita92]

This one has been messy and crazy, very funny to watch and surprisingly quite cute at the end!!!

[@deerhearthummingbird3519]

The ties makes the skirt more Feminine. Love the tie arms, without them the skirt looks blah but with them you’re smoking it!!! 👏🏽

[@BlueprintDIY]

Thanks so much!! 😁

[@dianeevans-blake8027]

Wow! That took a lot of creativity and genius. That could be high fashion for a tall person on a runway or at a nice evening party, or in a designer’s office. Difficult to duplicate; super unique. I would add some silk or a shiny texture. I really loved it!

[@juliekeil8791]

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the flannel skirt! Can’t wait to try one out. ❤

[@maryoaks3228]

Quite the proper lady . Its beautiful in its unique chaos!

[@evrydayppl2]

You really had to use a lot of brain power (and girl power) to put this project together. I think you made a great decision leaving those sleeves on to tie at the waist! That made a really big difference!

[@BlueprintDIY]

Yes I did! 😆 Thank you!! 💕

[@JoDeeKenney]

Wow- I wasn’t so sure as it was being made but I love the end result! I agree a more toned down version would be more versatile!

[@shariontipler5542]

It looks good ON YOU. I'm a short Apple shape so it's not for me 😛 But you rocked it 👍🏾

[@zheahra]

Hi Angelina! It's the sleeves in this skirt for me. I really like bold, bright, vibrant, mixed pattern clothes. I also like the length of this skirt. You rock!

[@simonehenville2128]

I love it! I love FULL long skirts! Excellent WORK💕💕💕

[@MyTaylordCloset]

This was an epic upcycle! Love how this turned out. Definitely a must try.

[@BlueprintDIY]

Yes, I can't wait to see your version.

[@monachinn1576]

I love that. Never thought to put shirts together to make a skirt

[@BlueprintDIY]

Thank you!! 😊

[@SR-jb3lh]

Monochromatic and big boots!!! That’s me. Thanks!

[@cwiggins7416]

Absolutely love watching your brain at work! Thanks for sharing!

[@LynnIPoor]

I like the tie in the front so much!!! It makes it look better, more stylish.

[@kenyascott1646]

Okaaaaaay... I could ROCK THAT! I love the edginess of the look. Well another sew & go for me. I will be heading right to my mom w/another creation of yours I can't wait to make into my wardrobe flavor! Thanks again for sharing your unique style! 😀

[@BlueprintDIY]

Yayyy! I'm so glad!! 😁

[@dianadivadiamond]

This is really a Whoaaaaaaa Factor of a Skirt. So different but looks structured and well put together. Love it, but as you said, in a different color pallette.

[@heymudda1]

Somebody would pay big $$$ for a skirt like that! TFS

[@alicejump2290]

Not only for this project, I can see how combinations can 'add glamour to flannel and plaids! Maybe doing large pieces like a mosaic! Blessed and safe days!

[@sxcladylk]

It turned out too freaking cute…Wow!

[@griseldasilva256]

The tie at the front looks awesome!!!!

[@NaamiAnayahh]

I’m so proud that you followed through and it’s so bomb. I’m gonna make you proud and make one following your video. I be tried to make this skirt twice already and I’ve had some similar ideas that you’ve showed so I’m so excited that I’m learning techniques from you. 💕

[@BlueprintDIY]

Yayyy! I'm so glad!! 💕

[@RuebenOtero]

Wow, I'm on Team Maxi Skirts for Fall now!

[@BlueprintDIY]

Yayyy!

[@JoDeeKenney]

Ok- as it was being made I wasn’t so sure about it but I loved the end result! I agree- a toned down version would be more versatile!!

[@BlueprintDIY]

Thanks so much 💕

[@kareybaran7546]

I love how it flows real pretty.

[@dos5621]

Who read my MIND?! Ive Been wanting to make this but had no clue!! Thanks for everyone requesting🤗 Ok so I finished watching the process....I don't know what's going on but very entertaining 😂. You did give me some motivation to attempt it and have fun with it! The turn out came out nice🙂

[@brendaholmes72]

That is wild crazy. I didn't know if I was going to like it... but finished it is CUTE! made me think of Christmas ... I love the sleeves tied in front. I noticed the cropped man's shirt you had on... You made it look feminine

[@BlueprintDIY]

I felt the same way Brenda. It was a wild ride. 😅

[@wow_icangetcraftytoo]

This makes my punky-goth heart so happy. I definitely want to try this!

[@Typewriters87]

Love love LOVE how it turned out!!!!

[@abaigealduda2756]

I'm not attracted to flannel, but this upcycle shows that it pays to be open-minded. I don't know if I'll get a chance to try it, but I can definitely imagine a version of this that would be cosy and fun for work this winter. Thank you!!!

[@djmr5188]

Next Top Upcycler let's gooooo!!

[@mariasmith9998]

I'm extatic with how it turned out. it looks really nice . Who knew you can make something so lovely. with some recycle clothes. AWESOME!

[@sxcladylk]

I love the tie… I think the colors would be good around the holidays!

[@_cjb_design_]

I love this diy, I'm a final year fashion student at university in the UK and this skirt looks like a technique I've explored recently called subtraction cutting.

[@misswoode]

A great example of trust the process. Loving it 🥰🥰🥰

[@tinajoneswilliams4253]

The tie in the front makes all the difference. Very creative. Xoxo

[@theresagarza1578]

Angelina. I LOVE. This. On. You. The finished product looks like something I would expect you to wear. It's creative, unique, fun. Just like you!

[@MrsDivaTurtle]

This is one of my favorite upcycles. Love it with the tied sleeves too!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@deborahm696]

Creative way to make a skirt. I like this for sure.

[@Michelle--B]

Wow! no hips required...LOL. You did an amazing job! Thanks for sharing.

[@melindabanning4497]

I really like this and I think your monochromatic color scheme would be totally terrific.

[@yienotme1614]

Your creativity is off the charts! And veey appreciated!!!

[@BlueprintDIY]

Thank you!! 💕

[@heatherflattery5204]

I love this!!!!! I will be trying to make this in the next two weeks to wear to the Renaissance faire!!!! How fun and flirty!!!! Probably one of my favorite up cycles to date!

[@zariahrose254]

Soooo glad you posted this video! Been wanting to make this but couldn’t figure out where to start!!!

[@trinapatterson8872]

I’m with you I really like the tied version…. Looks great on you!!

[@revondawatkins644]

SUPER CUTE!!!!!!👍🏽👍🏽❤️❤️ I LOVE IT. ESPECIALLY THE LENGTH. THE TIE WAS CUTE. YES!!!

[@spiritualinfluencer3747]

I would love to see it done with a variety of black and white and plaids maybe in a pencil skirt. Yes! i agree the monochromatic it still was a great up cycle.

[@phoeniciacloud1515]

Fabulous I love it soooo much!!! I’m 6’0 and floor length skirts are my love! I love colors and would wear this everywhere.

[@margotaylor6157]

Love Love Love the skirt!!! Awesome

[@aleksandrasivolob]

I love how this turned out!

[@candicehilburn2022]

Love the tie part too

[@craftwithlove5580]

If I was your size I would rock that 🤩

[@GINGER70HINTZ]

Yeah Season 2! It's not my style as well, but I really enjoy seeing how things are constructed, seeing your shortcuts and most of the time your videos remember me to work with what I have. It's not easy for me but working on it. 👌

[@BlueprintDIY]

Yayyy! I'm so glad!! 💕

[@princesslehaha]

Fellow box shape here :D I always look to try and dress like an X shape. My friends would swear on a stack of bibles that I have a waist lol (except the ones who have seen me nekkid lol). I'm totally a flannel plaid old hippie freak so I loved this video!!! I love that you show your mistakes; I didn't sew for 45 years so LOOOOOTS of mistakes haha. I joined the group and everyone there is so inspiring! I have a ton of clothes that I simply can't wear, and most of them are from second hand stores in the first place and worn to death so I can't donate, but I also won't throw out. This video got me so happyyyyy1

[@giveawhey8899]

definitely me!! fits my hippie old lady boho lady look!!

[@botero29love]

The colors are great. I love it ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@beccogiallo]

Great job! I really love it with the sleeves tied in front.

[@whitalleys5893]

I love this… this skirt is perfect for a steampunk cosplay situation!

[@miriammeyers1982]

You are so inspiring. I took a shirt that couldn't fit across my hips, a skirt that was too large and long and a dress that was the least flattering asymmetric hemline ever, turning them into a boho dress. So fun!

[@BlueprintDIY]

Yes, that does sound fun!

[@candicehilburn2022]

Soooooo can't wait for season 2 of next top upcycling

[@77zard]

Oh I love this! I'm going to use this idea to make a patchwork maxi for myself.

[@ElisandeWalters]

I didn't think I would love it as much as I do

[@ElisandeWalters]

all black and white... yeessss also.. a low budget brides dress skirt with TEXTURED white non flannel shirts

[@BlueprintDIY]

I like that!

[@michelledesio5216]

I am in love with this. I’m def a funky grunge/punk style lover. This with combat boots tickles my fancy. I’m loving your work thx

[@BlueprintDIY]

Thank you!! 😊

[@elinorcackett2314]

It turned so lovely.

[@alsmith9956]

Chiiiiiiiild! Those sleeves tied gave what it was supposed to had gave! I it pays homage to what you made the skirt from.😯😯😯😯😯❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ WEIRD! NO HONEY! Fabulous!!!!!!

[@BlueprintDIY]

Thanks so much!! 😁💕

[@wakanavkirachel8068]

I would WEAR THAT..! Certainly want to try this

[@dreiaward-sampler6888]

I've purchased skirts like these but you made it look easy to duplicate...great job

[@jaloneynorwood4306]

The Oversized skirt turned out cute, I first seen this in state where a local boutique very loving clothing she created this skirt ,out of denim then move on with other collections. I did enjoy your showing how it was created thank you so much, please try to due more street wear up cycling again 👏🏾👏🏾🥰❣️❣️❣️❣️

[@evelyngautier3980]

I don’t want you to take it the wrong way. My opinion is “what a disaster, I wouldn’t wear it”, but I LOVED IT, I LOVED IT. very entertaining and it looks good on you. Keep safe!

[@BlueprintDIY]

Thanks! 💕

[@kelleneellexson1962]

Well it looks pretty darn cute on you!!❤

[@karensmith1367]

Really love the pockets!

[@reallifeofbilliejo4948]

Aaaahhh!! I love this girl!!!

[@familyfrenzy4960]

Wow! I wasn’t sure at first, but this turned out great!

[@reinalyn2674]

Hi Angelina! I just subscribed. And I’ve never subscribed to any channels before, but your videos are right up my alley! The styles, the colors and prints, the textures, the simple instructions you give, being able to use what we have or thrifted, and the excitement you put into each piece was the reason I signed up. I look forward to your next “renegade” creation! Now I’m off to watch more of your videos while I’m not feeling well in bed. Peace ✌🏽

[@sandrasmith4361]

I was so confused, I don’t think I can even visualize those plaids as a skirt, but I love watching you put it together, just didn’t understand how🥴🥴🥴🥴

[@karlarussell3555]

I NEEDED this for a Gala I just went to on Friday night. This was PHENOMENAL and I loved the flowiness and the length, but Woman, WHEN YOU TIED IT.....that part !!!!😍✌😊

[@maria_casuscelli]

I love it! I like yours more than the inspiration.

[@catherineng7188]

Omg 😱 this is way tooo cool; kinda remind me a bit of Alexander McQueen style😍😍😍😍 Definitely love it 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@MissEdie1973]

I like it !!! This is something that I would make for myself !!

[@grannyprepper1181]

Looking forward to season two.

[@rennkay3291]

Love this... lots of thought to figure it out and good use of shirts!

[@dianamorgan9562]

When you sewed together the two sleeves, my mind went directly to wow, you could make a flounce skirt just out of men's long sleeves (from the regular shirts - not flannel) it would be so cute. Maybe make some suspenders from 3-in ribbon, and wear the skirt over a black or white, t-shirt that would be so cute!

[@dianamorgan9562]

I don't know if leggings are still popular in your area, but they are here. So you could wear the skirt over long leggings or short leggings - depending on the weather, pair it with a short or long jacket and the possiblies are endless.

[@dianamorgan9562]

Then you could add on a button on bib for a more relaxed look!

[@BlueprintDIY]

That would be cute! 😍

[@Badhairday1982]

I love, love, LOVE the skirt! It would look cute with a chunky crop sweater and boots when the Temps cool down.I want to make one in red/black plaid flannel in a high-low version so my boots will show 😊❤👏

[@latashajolly8512]

Simply fabulous 😍

[@mad14kt]

LOVING 🥰 IT … FIESTA 🪅

[@karenrozanski9231]

Thanks for this. I appreciate thinking about pockets and the inadvative optional tie. I think I would like it shorter and the seams more streamlined especially the front. This is inspiring.

[@thehoneygal3172]

LOVE IT!! YOU CAN SEND IT TO ME!! I WILL WEAR IT EVERYDAY!! 😍😍😍

[@miriammeyers1982]

LOVE the tied sleeves. YOU-nique

[@reneecollier5034]

That is one FUN project! I really love the sleeves tied to the front. Love the you used the sleeves for pockets... brilliant.... but, I expected no less from ya! My Shero!

[@BlueprintDIY]

Thanks so much Renee!! 😁

[@tossitapigram3127]

Wow,Wow,And Wow,I Really Liked this skirt. I Really like wearing skirts too. I Like Everything you sew,Especially if it looks nice on me. Thxs For the Utube University Classes,I Love It!...Thxs again🤗. Have a Sewing Wonderful day💖

[@alwaysjiji7198]

at first I was thinking this may not work but I saw it and can easily envision it on the runway or for 300 dollars on urban outfitters. This looks really good and a great idea. For me I wouldn't have that big of pockets but omg so much inspiration. I'm so glad you did this.

[@beautti]

Wow! 😍 Well done! 👏👏👏

[@Rebecca-hv2rb]

I never hit the " bell" button. You are my only one! ♥ Your dear sweetheart husband was right. He would be so proud of you for all you have achieved. I know your children see you as a great woman. May Christ Jesus protect and keep you and yours. Amen

[@BlueprintDIY]

I appreciate that! 💕🥰 Thank you!

[@stacyleeever]
