🌸 DIY Thrift Flip: Quick Linen Color-Blocked Shirt Transformation! 🌸

[@pipancla]

I'd love to know if there's a solution to bulky armpit seams too!

[@studiobonvon]

I think I might have found a better way to do it...I'll be trying it on my next project!

[@beautyandsomebeasts]

You are so good at talking through what you're doing! I am a (very) novice sewist and am about to tackle making a nightshirt and this video has already put more things in my head to consider.

[@studiobonvon]

I'm so glad to hear it was helpful! I try my best to explain my techniques for anyone who's interested, but there are much better tutorials here on KZbin when it comes to the technical sewing details. I think the most important thing is knowing exactly what you are trying to achieve with the design - if you can narrow that down, then there are tons of resources available online! Best of luck with your project ✨

Beautiful top 👍 I love watching your videos. They are really inspiring and artsy 😁

[@studiobonvon]

Thank you so much Melanie, that's so nice to hear! 🤗 Especially coming from a fellow creative person 😉

[@quesiaevan]

Please upload videos more often. Your channel is great!

[@studiobonvon]

Oh thank you so much! 🤗 I'll have more time this month so I will definitely be making videos more frequently!

Gorgeous project and the hand stitched tag is so lovely. Not sure what it is about chartreuse but I love it too. Sunshine dipped green. But I couldn't never wear it near my face. Kryptonite!

[@studiobonvon]

"Sunshine dipped green" is totally the best way to describe it 🌷

I’ve seen some images of French seams at right angles but I’ve have trouble envisioning the process. And I have to be able to see it in my mind in able to do it! Hopefully you can look it up and then show us. I have a similar idea for a linen men’s shirt upcycle. Thanks for the inspo.

[@studiobonvon]

Totally, good luck with your upcycling project!! Love to hear it. I think I have figured out a better way to do french seams on sleeves...I'll be trying it on my next project 😉

[@LovesRock]

Amazing. I was so excited about the new video - and can’t wait to see the future dress! I’m all for this high quality production, natural material and upcycling content 😇 I can see this channel become very popular, very fast!

[@studiobonvon]

Ahhh thank you so much 🌷 I'm so glad to hear it's resonating with you...we'll see what the future holds!

I made a cropped sweater this weekend! By using pinking shears to chop the bottom half off an existing hoodie 🤣 eventually I'll get envious enough and teach myself to make my own top to share! or.. dare I say.. a pant?! p.s. my mom is coming to visit soon and I'm excited to share your videos with her

[@studiobonvon]

Yes! I love to hear new people get excited to start sewing. I highly recommend starting with a pattern - there are lots of free patterns for pants online for example! p.s. I am so flattered that you want to share this with your mom, I hope she enjoys!! ✨

Thanks for explaining the bias tape application especially where the edges meet! Super cute top!! -Alicia

[@studiobonvon]

Thank you so much! Honestly, there are some great tutorials here on KZbin for how to do bias facing...and they do a much better job of explaining it than I did. But I'm glad to hear it was helpful ✨

[@ericaeschenbacher4921]

👏Shirt turned out lovely.That trick to meet the bias tape at seam🤯 been sewing for years and I've never seen it made so easy! Thank you! 😻

[@studiobonvon]

You are so welcome! ✨ My goal is to inspire creativity, but there are lots of great tutorials here on KZbin that explain how to sew a bias facing...and they do a much better job than I do!

[@Mallowolf]

I love the design! So simple yet sophisticated in the details. Beautiful work 👏✨

[@studiobonvon]

Thank you so much 🌷

I love it! Actually the mustard color looks great!❤

Glad you think so! It's such a happy color 😁

[@marathorne6821]

The top is very cute and the colours work very well together 😍 I wonder whether sewing the side seams and sleeve seams separately, and then setting in the sleeves "in the round" might result in less bulk where they join? I don't know, it's just a suggestion. Basically when you use French seams on anything but the lightest fabric, there's going to be some bulk where two seams intersect. That's why, in my opinion, even though I love them for something like a cotton lawn, French seams are not always the best option.

[@studiobonvon]

Yes! Thank you so much for this suggestion, I think you are right about setting the sleeves properly, instead of trying to cheat it. That way, I could flatten the seams as I go. I love using french seams for linen, because even though they are bulky sometimes, they really do a great job preventing the edges from fraying! (I also don't have a serger, so it's a good option for me) I am going to try this on my next project, thank you again!
