DIY Turn Men's Trousers into Woman's Skirt - Freestyle Friday #13

[@Beevles]

Hi there, you are one very talented lady. Thanks so much for taking the time to record these projects for us all to enjoy. Cheers from Australia.

[@nikkinatural29]

Wow!! This is awesome!! Fabric is so expensive these days. Please do more videos like this. I always find nice fabric on ugly clothing at thrift stores, and I never know what to do with it.

[@philinaweddington4077]

I just found your channel and I must tell you: You are a wonderful teacher! You go fast enough that a person wouldn't lose interest and slow enough to grasp the concept. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! ☮️❤️🌻

[@NilerTaylor-relindesigns]

You know Philina, I have had a lot of comments, but I must say that your's is at the top of my list as being the one that really touches my heart! I work hard at trying to deliver videos that don't bore or take too long to get to the point. I'm so happy to see that it's working! Thanks so much for watching and for your nice comment. I hope you subscribed! Happy Sewing!

[@imandieng]

NILER!!!!!!! OMG IM SO BLESSED TO HAVE FOUND YOU ON KZbin OK OK let me stop screaming, you are the diamond in the rough, wow I can't afford sewing classes but G~d knows I want to perfect my sewing skills and you are a merciful blessing from him to me. I promise I'm your #1 fan. Thanks for helping me sis I really appreciate you.

[@944gemma]

I sit here watching with my chin in my lap. WOW! I'm so glad I found your videos.

[@emom46]

9 years later, this is still an excellent upcycle. So inspired, thank you!

[@Jennifer_Lewis_Beach_Living]

This just popped up in my feed. This is a FANTASTIC thrift flip. You took the typical “turn pants into a skirt” to another level. No one would be able to tell that this skirt was at one time a pair of men’s trousers. Well done!

[@NilerTaylor-relindesigns]

Yay! Thank you!

[@gillianbc]

This goes beyond upcycling. Great job. No-one would be able to tell it's from men's trousers. What a great way to make use of all that precious fabric.

[@6155ish]

I found your video on Pinterest, I am amazed, I watched the entire video! You are brilliant! I am not a seamstress, I can sew, a little, but you made me want to pull out my machine, which I haven't used in YEARS and get my creative juices flowing!

[@DebbieUnderfinger]

You have way much too talent, Niler! I am so envious!

[@janetstone236]

You did an excellent job on design, and teaching us - this is great! Loved the bottom ruffle!

[@NilerTaylor-relindesigns]

Me too...thanks for watching and for the nice comment! Happy Sewing!

[@thomasinedouglas1280]

Thank you for the tip for making the bottom , just bought a new sewing machine and making my own dresses and skirts. Thank you for sharing much better seeing than reading how to do new sewing methods.

[@melissamills4431]

Sorry it has taken so long for me to respond. I've been a little under the weather. Thank you for the nice comment. I'm so happy that my video was helpful for you. I like very detailed explanations and I don't like to watch long videos. For those reasons, I try to make my videos informative, to the point and short. Glad to see it's working. Thanks for watching.

[@kimgroskreutz272]

That was amazing!!!! This skirt is darling, and the tutorial was great. I just started reworking clothes for myself. I just did a jean skirt from my sons old jeans. Love it! Thanks for sharing

[@NilerTaylor-relindesigns]

Cool...I'm sure your skirt turned out fabulous...Happy Sewing!

[@tdivadesigns]

This is an amazing refashion. I've learned so much from your videos, I may never have to purchase new clothes again. Thank you!

[@NilerTaylor-relindesigns]

tdivadesigns Lol...why purchase when you can repurpose what you already have. Thanks so much for watching and for your comment.

[@AKHP35]

wow. A lot nicer job than I was planning to do. Glad to see it done right. That flounce thing out of the circle was awesome. I am stealing that.

[@NilerTaylor-relindesigns]

You go right ahead...it's not stealing, it's borrowing and you are more than welcome to do so. LOL! Thanks so much for watching and for the nice comment.

[@barbiegirl4lyfe]

Thank you for the flounce Ms. Niler!!!

[@NilerTaylor-relindesigns]

You are so welcome.

[@pegjones7682]

Only one word AWESOME

[@NilerTaylor-relindesigns]

peg jones Aawwhhh...thank you!

[@NilerTaylor-relindesigns]

Thanks for your comment. When taking up lined slacks with pockets, you have to consider if you can live without the pocket or if you want to go to the "extreme" detail of restructuring the pocket. It is quiet a job!

[@judyb950]

I ran across your videos because I shredded my spaghetti strap so obviously I needed help before attempting another one and that's how I ended up watching your videos. My daughter just started sewing and she's sewing a dress and it has a ruffled bodice and so she too searched KZbin and found your video on how to do ruffles and she was telling me "Mom you have to watch this lady" she was trying to remember your name and then she mentioned "And she even shows how to use the ruffle foot". I remembered you had done a video about how to use that foot. We both reached for our phones because we both had been saving your videos but we didn't know anyways I found the saved video first and handed her my phone. We both love your videos. You're great at explaining how to do everything. I hope you continue to do the videos. My daughter is going to watch your videos for beginners. Just want to say thank you for taking the time to do the videos.

[@NilerTaylor-relindesigns]

Aaawwwhhh....what a sweet story. Sounds like your daughter is on the right track to becoming a great seamstress. Let her know if she has any questions or requests, leave me a message and I will do my best to fulfill her request...Happy Sewing to the both of you!

[@brendafuller1806]

Lovely Job! and saves money on throwing out old pants and buying something new... MERGE! :-)

[@NilerTaylor-relindesigns]

Thanks for watching and for your comment.

[@Bump688]

My husband has some suits he no longer wants and I want to use them for myself. This video is fantastic for the trousers....... how about doing something with a suit jacket.....lol. I've just got to Subscribe and Like this video. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@NilerTaylor-relindesigns]

Sorry it has taken so long for me to respond. I've been a little under the weather. I'm sure your skirts will turn out great. As far as the suit jacket, several years ago I had a client that had a favorite jacket that belonged to her deceased uncle. We tailored the jacket to fit her, cutting down the shoulders, shortening the length, and taking in the waist. It turned out so good. So...maybe you could have a 2pc suit for you (skirt and tailored jacket). Thanks for watching and for your comment.

[@chubbi44]

I love your vids maybe one day I will be able to sew like you....😊

[@NilerTaylor-relindesigns]

+Chiari Johnson Aaawwwhhh....I'm sure your will. Thanks for your comment.

[@MsShawn43]

You are so awesome. Thank you...

[@rachelm1085]

Love this video. It is so informative. Can a learner do a project like this as I am not any good at sewing but I have alot of clothes that have gone too big for me but I don't want to get rid of them. Plus I only have a hand held mini sewing machine at present but I want to learn alot more. Can I learn by starting with this? Thanks :-)

[@baley9774]

Genius. Thank you!

[@NilerTaylor-relindesigns]

You are so welcome Jan and thanks for the nice comment!

[@Amy-ej2px]

[@theresamahaffey540]

Excellent!

[@NilerTaylor-relindesigns]

You should...it was so much fun. Niler

[@OurHumbleLife]

You're amazing!

[@belovitunkti6607]

Hi Niler Can I do this with the jeans and just cut out the crouch.. want it loose and the jeans are large.. And not sure I want to use another fabric in the middle on the first try. What u think ??

[@flanmaryj]

My late husband and I were very close in size. He told me to stop wearing long skirts. I look very good in pencil skirts, but can't afford to buy a lot of new ones. I figured I'd donate half of his clothes to a couple of programs for veterans in our city and keep a few pieces to refashion. This is the first video I've seen which takes into consideration switching the zipper facing, keeping the interfacing structure, and adding the feminine bottom part. I can sew well enough to change a few items of clothing of his. I also have some other oversized corduroys with the big wales which are now very hard to find and expensive. Thank you so very much for making your videos. What is the average real time for this type of project?

[@NilerTaylor-relindesigns]

I'm sorry to hear about your husband...my condolences to you and your family. Thank you for your question. I think it took me around 3 hours, that includes taking all the seams apart as well. Thanks so much for watching and for your comment.

[@NilerTaylor-relindesigns]

You are welcome. Thanks for the nice comment.

[@NilerTaylor-relindesigns]

[@TruthisWisdom]

you are so fast.....but you are the BEST! Teach me

[@NilerTaylor-relindesigns]

TruthisWisdom Thanks for the nice comment.

[@NilerTaylor-relindesigns]

Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you, radiation treatments (for breast cancer) have been kicking my butt! Today was one of my better days. You can use the jeans, just make sure that the jeans are "baggy or have pleats" that's what I used in this video. The fullness of the pants/jeans helps the "hips" hopes this info answers your question. Niler

[@ciarapillay4592]

You can use the same technique, but you will have to add a zipper or use elastic for the waist.
