Hippie Boho Pants from Thrift Store Upcycled into DIY Bib Overalls

#DIYbiboveralls #clothingupcycle #thriftflip
A pair of boho hippie pants were given to me from a friend's thrift haul. In this video I repurpose these rather large pants into an upcycled pair of bib overalls and fix the hole in the butt. I show the creative process of using existing bibs as a pattern as well as referencing pictures from Pinterest to help in the design and transformation of these remade bibs.

[@barbaraness4507]

8:12 That should be my saying because I tend to get in a hurry while sewing, especially when I’m close to the end,then wind up with a seam ripper in my hand.

I used to want to finish sewing projects in one day. I now just say it'll get finished when it's finished. I decided to make my own overalls without hardware when I came across your video. They came out awesome.

[@ArtfullySew]

Thanks! So glad you stopped by. Just keep sewing!

[@llswink]

You crack me up! I really love the boho jumpsuit you came up with... but my hubby would have something to say... sigh. Don't care what he says, will be following and using some of your suggestions soon. Love it!

[@ArtfullySew]

Ha! Glad you like it. Thanks for the encouragement and thanks for watching! 💕

[@SdickLee13]

Im so glad I found ur channel! U are adorable! I grew up with my mom and granny sewing everything and fixing things that I always feel guilty buying new things. Im just exploring ideas on upcycling my old clothes to make new things. Cuz Im very guilty of never throwing any piece of clothing away. I used to host clothing exchange parties with a friend of mine but u know life and pandemics have gotten in my way. Now I just want to make new things using my old clothes as a pattern. I prefer sewing without strict rules cuz honestly i cant do tht very well and if its too many steps I will end up stopping and adding it to my giant pile of projects tht will never get done! ADHD with a sprinkle of autism will make everything a challenge! I also have several very old quilts that need to be fixed or repurposed! And i see u have ideas for tht too! Btw I love ur love for ur doggo! I have 3 chihuahua rescues and they are my world! (Which i want to make shirts and collars for them too with my old clothes!) i have so many ideas and no executive function to implement them! Anyways…..thank u for inspiring me

[@ArtfullySew]

So glad to hear! My dog, Stella is a rescue too! Hope you come up with all kinds of projects. Thanks for watching. 🥰

[@sherylhayman3538]

These are adorable! And so are you!! Thank you! I’m gonna get started on my bib overall project now! It’s gonna take a lot more than one day! 🥴

[@ArtfullySew]

Just keep sewing, Sheryl and give yourself the grace you deserve. Another video coming soon. Thanks for watching!

[@therubinscountrylife2728]

hello!! I love the way it turned out!!! inspiring!! I will subscrib you channel!!

[@emmamajor9584]

Love them, I’ve just made myself some using a pair of dungarees (bibs) I have for the pattern, I up cycled a hand printed Indian cotton throw I found in a charity shop (thrift store)

[@ArtfullySew]

[@aingaeltummers]

I stumbled across your video while looking for ways to alter my mccalls 7598 pattern into more of what you are wearing. I'm so glad I did! Those pants are stunning, I would absolutely wear them too! I live for upcycling old things. Usually blankets and curtains into new clothes or fabric that is donated to me. Right now I'm turning my sisters old cute scrubs into toddler dresses. Subscribing for sure!

[@ArtfullySew]

You are my kind of friend. ☺️

[@juliekeil8791]

Love these! I want them! 💖 Just discovered you. Subscribed. Would love to see more clothing upcycles.

[@karoleenascottage]

Just found your channel! ❤️😃 I have been searching the “Tubes” on a journey to make Boho/shabby chic clothing on my fledgling KZbin channel here at KaroleenasCottage. So far I have only done upcycled home decor (shabby chic/French Country). BoHo is my next adventure! So glad I found you. You are hilarious and talented! ❣️

[@ArtfullySew]

Wonderful! I'll have to check out your channel as well. Thanks for watching!❤️

[@HeavenlyTreasures7]

Came across your video and laughed from beginning to end! You’re creativity is fascinating and your delivery quite captivating! Loved it ❤ and your style. Thank you for such a refreshing tutorial. You’ve definitely gained a new subscriber here! 💜

[@ArtfullySew]

Thank you so much for the encouragement. ❤️ I’m so glad you found my little quirky channel! I have a new video coming in a couple weeks, so also glad you subscribed. See you soon!

[@NorahIK]

I so much love this fabric design anf the way you arranged it to gather, and the TAG ! I love that you showed off the tag! I have so much lefover pretty chiffon fabric from old cloths, i would love to do something with them, but its very thin and see through, and as a beginner i find chiffon really hard to see. What do you think? Any ideas, tips and tricks on chiffon?

[@ArtfullySew]

Norah! Great name (my daughter's name as well)! Chiffon is so dang slippery, but I really like using those kinds of fabrics in crazy quilts or decorative pillows. I'll think about some more ideas too... hmmmm...

[@NorahIK]

@@ArtfullySew thank you! For some reason curtains came into my mind while reading, i love sunsine slipping through curtains 🧡 Layered Ruffle pillow would look great too!

[@bridgetjones8339]

I adore that pattern on that material! Is your dog a Chiweenie? He looks an awful lot like my dog. I can’t wait to see the end of the project I think it’s gonna look adorable on you. I love Boho!

[@ArtfullySew]

My dog Stella IS a Chiweenie! She is a rescue and has many issues in the beginning. She is still high maintenance but I love her so much. 💕 Thanks for watching!

[@sarahdugan4788]

You adorable

[@mykindpharm]

Yay!! What a fun project ❤ And popular, lots of great comments, too many for me to get through to see if you answered this question… although I am in my early 50’s… I am not a seamstress of any kind… do I need a surger? What other options are there with an old machine? Thank you 🙏

[@ArtfullySew]

Hi! We are the same age. ☺️ Sergers are totally optional and you can get a similar stitch on your regular sewing machine. Set it to zigzag with a wide stitch and then make the stitch length very short. You can then sew along the edge of the seam, letting the right side of the stitch go just over the edge. It will cover the seam very nicely and do a pretty good job of keeping the frayed edge clean. I suggest experimenting on scrap fabric first, until you get the look you want. Eventually, you can get a serger if you’d like. Mine is a basic Singer serger, I think it was $200 - you can check the video description for a link to the exact model. The advantage to a serger is that it’s the quickest and neatest way to finish seams. Plus it has a knife that can cut as you sew. But, kinda fancy and totally optional. Hope that helps!

[@mykindpharm]

@@ArtfullySew totally helps! Thank you 😊 Space is my biggest issue- we live in a small house and added a small ‘me shed’ for my crafting/sewing and exercise area 😊 I absolutely love watching your videos!!! Thank you for sharing your talent and sunshine smile 🌞

[@LSEXTON]

I have to say, at one point I had a teeny bit of doubt about this project - until the final reveal. And they are cute as a button! Do you ever do up-cycle projects for the fuller figure? Just a thought...

[@ArtfullySew]

Thanks for the suggestion. Glad you like them!

[@kristicitak3932]

I love your overalls!!!! Love all the patterns (inside and out!!) where did you learn to sew? School? Self taught. Clearly you are insanely artistic 😊❤so love your process 👍🙏❤️🥰

[@ArtfullySew]

I did take home-ec in junior high school many years ago, but all I really made from that is a wonky apron (which I still have, btw). Mostly I've learned by trial and error. 😏 Maybe I will do a video about my wonky apron and my sewing journey. 🤔. Thanks for the idea!

[@kristicitak3932]

I did home Ec as well. Took sewing 1 & 2 in HS. Learned from my late Mom. (My mom sewed for 6 little girls!!! 1st day of school and the holidays). No idea how she found the time

[@angesews8110]

Love what you have done. Are you in england

[@ArtfullySew]

Hi Ange, no I live in Wisconsin, USA. Thanks for watching!

[@debbiesiedhoff5285]

So stinking cute!! I don't have baggy pants but I do have a ton of scarfs and some linen. Could hand stitch the fabrics together. I could make fabric and use so denim bibs for a pattern. What do you think?

[@ArtfullySew]

Ooh! Try it! 💕

[@annedarr8362]

Can u design that with a quick exit for the older generation That is a Bravo

[@ArtfullySew]

Thanks, Anne! Not sure what you mean by design with a quick exit?
