I have been dying to put this video together!!! I am going to show you a variety of sweater upcycles, varying from NO-SEW, to Hand Sew to Machine Sew!
TIP: I highly recommend having your diy Inspo's ready when you go thrifting. This will allow you to look at each sweater, and the relevant details, to see if it's going to work for your project.

The gold dress was SO easy but it made such a difference! looks like a proper just bought dress

[@TheDIYDesigner]

I'm glad you took the time off, I can see how refreshed and energized you are

[@nataliequinton5976]

Yay, great beginning to 2022! As someone who sewed all the puffed sleeves back in the ‘80s, you need to increase the height of the sleeve cap and the width of the sleeve cap to give it that puff. You can cheat it a bit in what you’ve demonstrated by adding volume just inside the elastic bit with a stiff, ruffled grosgrain ribbon.

[@notconvincedgranny6573]

Stiff organza, folded in half and sewing into the top of the armscye is a wedding dress trick.

[@TheDIYDesigner]

thanks guys!!

[@katherinerichardson1767]

Great ideas for old or not too used sweaters. Welcome back. You were missed.

[@mowattlavern62]

Glad to have you back

[@jomo9862]

The DIY Designer, I bet you could make some beautiful pillows out of those scraps. Welcome back. Missed you soooo much.

[@tammyvaughan2727]

She’s back, baby!!! Love these, Orly! You are amazing!

[@tigrezangel]

Such a cute upcycle! I don't live in a place with weather to wear sweaters like those, but I can apply most of the ideas to t-shirts.

[@TheDIYDesigner]

That's a great idea!

[@SG-ie4tr]

Omg at last so excited for what you have coming next!!

[@paulaanncurran7521]

She’s BACK….she’s banging out ideas and I’m bloody here for it ….BRILLIANT Orly xPx

[@TheDIYDesigner]

[@TheDIYDesigner]

Thank you so much!

[@ee.som.o]

Happy you’re back! But always take care of yourself & your family first Orly! ✨

[@susanojohnson6445]

I purchased 3 cableknit pcs that are like the upcycle "Dicky"... "Shrug"... "Cropped knit"... Now that you're back I'm feeling creative enough to make new pcs... The metallic knit w/lace applique yes please✨

[@TheDIYDesigner]

oh yea! I'm so glad. I wanna see what you do!

[@joyfatbyte]

Another home run! WELCOME BACK 🙋🏽‍♀️

The first sweater is my favorite!! 😍

[@flowergirlpower1991]

Welcome back. The dress is my favorite.

[@sharonl7493]

I think my favorite is the long gold sweater . Or is it the hoodie. All look great !! 😆

[@starmaze3250]

Wow this is amazing. When you first laid down all those sweaters I thought “what is she doing”! I can’t pick a favorite. They’re all really cool. Thanks so much.

[@TheDIYDesigner]

hahaha

[@lorraineyoung5909]

Nice to have you back!!

[@maryhemphill9419]

If you have extra sleeves or sweater scraps, you can make the cutest little pumpkin covers or vase/planter/mug covers for cozy decor! Welcome back! We love to see you, but we want you to be happy, healthy, and in balance, even if we don’t get to see you every week!❤️

[@vidyakrishnan4542]

Awesome video Orly, please bring back the backyard modelling - it's the best part !

[@TheDIYDesigner]

haha I might simplify my production by just filming it like this. It was hard to coordinate and pay for a videographer each week

[@vidyakrishnan4542]

@@TheDIYDesigner thanks for the reply, I understand and I'll watch you regardless ! Welcome back from the break!

[@heidymui8036]

I missed your bright and positive energy!! So good to see you back! 😊

[@SandyCheeks63564]

It takes GENIUS to be able to simplify these amazing creations you come up with! Other youtubers say "easy" and then you have to be an expert seamstress and do endless seams and precision cutting all over the place - ugh! THANK YOU ORLY!!!

[@dc9888]

So glad you're back!! Your creations are so inspirational. I am probably not your typical audience (upper-middle age bracket) but your creativity really sparks the imagination. I love watching all your videos and they get my creative juices going. Thank you!

[@TheDIYDesigner]

Hey that's the only thing that matters! People who love to get creative... thats all ;)

So cute! Can’t wait to see that styling video.

Happy Sunday!!! I knew it, it was worthy to wait 😉

[@kellieblanchard6047]

I'm so Happy you're back!!! Also I have tons of sweaters/sweatshirts I haven't worn! Great ideas!

[@alyssadana5011]

Loved all the stripe ones. The mix of the sweatshirt and sweater are amazing!! Xx

[@aroundy7171]

You totally inspired me to upcycle a white denim jacket I never wore because the sleeves were too tight! I took some old white jeans I acquired somehow, cut off the legs, added them as cool wide sleeves to this jacket. So excited to have found your channel. I think EXACTLY like you. Love to upcycle/restyle my current wardrobe (so many clothes). Anyway, just wanted to let you know you have a new fan. You are SO my spirit animal....except I'm old enough to be your mom. But 50+ women should still be in touch with their style, am I right?!

[@martinjewiss1059]

Excellent, love this video Orly, great to see you back. Thank you. Laura x

[@Rachelle_Creates]

These are beautiful! Great job, the sweatshirt with sweater sleeves was my favorite!

Welcome back. So glad you're feeling yourself again Really excited to see these upcycles. We're in summer here but fast approaching autumn and I can see some upcycles happening

[@ladynextdoor]

Good to see you back and hear that your time off helped you to recharge your batteries. I love your ideas and even if I know that I would look ridiculous in most of your designs (age limitations) , I keep watching because your enthusiasm and creativity is inspiring me to become creative also. And even if I can't 'copy' the exact ideas, I am learning the techniques and the way of thinking so I can DIY in a way that suits me. So, thank you and a happy 2022!

[@TheDIYDesigner]

This is the best compliment I could get. Thank you :)

[@mgcurio]

Orly, what a great come back! So many ideas! You can make 3 videos or more with these shirts, I really want to try all these tricks...it's so good, it's so much content... I'll have to wait for your next video to make some decisions!
