How To Make An Upcycled Collage Fringe Vest

[@MsCjmaxi]

You rock the upcycle world! I predict that we will start to see upcycled clothes with butterflies on Etsy. 😊

A few years ago, I bought several hundred fabric swatches at a thrift store, donated by an upscale interior designer. They are large swatches, about 10"X10", some bigger. They are very rich-looking, lots of embroidered and beaded silks, brocades, and high end fabrics I've never seen at JoAnn's. When I got home I looked up several of the designs and companies and found some of this sold for more than $100 per yard retail! I've been making fabric origami 3-D butterflies out of the swatches and I love how they turned out. I use glass beads to add sparkle and make their heads and bodies. It's an easy hand-sewing project I can take with me. I've been sewing them to brooch pins and hairclips, but now I'm going to add them to patchwork clothing pieces like this. I bought some 3-D embroidered rose and peony flower appliques from Temu for very cheap, and was shocked by how pretty and high quality they are. They go great with my fancy butterflies. I know people love to hate on Temu, but I'm poor and I love that I can buy useful tools and supplies for pennies on the dollar. As long as one doesn't give them their bank account info, they seem safe enough. I use Paypal to pay for online purchases and never had a problem in the 25 years I've used it.

@LazyIRanch such a wonderful score!!!🤗💓💓💓💓

[@LouLouMeyer]

So much fun and so inspiring! I am going to do this with some bits and pieces I’ve hung on to for decades…doilies both my grandmothers made, shirts from my Dad and grandfather, concert t-shirts, etc. I’m going to use your techniques and ideas to fashion all these treasures into something I can wear. Thank you so much!❤

[@tmyershandmade978]

Yayyyy! I love it, have fun!🤗💗💗💗💗

[@LazyIRanch]

I wish I lived near you! I'd love to have a friend who enjoys creative sewing like me. I have a crazy amount of fabric and supplies because I started sewing my own clothes 50 years ago. I would love to share my stash with another "fabric fiend"! I won't live long enough to use half of it. When I find nice fabric for cheap at thrift stores and yard sales, I'm compelled to buy it even if I have no idea what I'll do with it. I'll figure that out later, but for now I know I'll sleep better knowing that lovely piece of silk, or vintage brocade is safely stored in my sewing room, waiting for inspiration! Like you, I love to incorporate clothing bits once worn by loved ones, or t-shirts that have good memories attached. They make wonderful personal gifts that can't be bought! I made my sister some bowl cosies with old Sunbonnet Sue quilt squares our mom made when she was young (during the 1930s Depression when she lived in an orphanage), and the outside of the bowl is made from a very old, soft, faded pair of Levis I wore as a teen 50 years ago. Back in the 1970s, our town's Levis factory shut down and went overseas. I went to the closing sale and bought a roll of denim and several spools of the "official" gold Levis thread for topstitching, and I do double rows of topstitching over the denim side of the bowls to look like blue jeans. I sure wish we could share photos in comments! I'd love to see the wonderful things y'all create!

@LazyIRanch I'm in a facebook group Upcycled Clothing and Creations, I've mentioned it in some videos and there are quite a few people from here that have joined. You might want check it out.

[@LouLouMeyer]

@ I wish I had a sewing friend, too! I have quite a stash of stuff, as well. I agree, those gifts that are made with special fabric and other pieces are truly special. Wishing you all the best, and happy sewing. 😊

IKR? I love the black and pink outfit she's wearing, very elegant yet comfortable, classy and expensive-looking. I want to make a similar vest, but sadly I'll have to skip the fringe because I have three cats, and they are all crazy! They'd be swinging on that vest and climbing me like a tree! It's bad enough just trying to cut out pattern pieces with my frisky felines. They love to be involved.

[@tmyershandmade978]

I am gobsmacked -- in a wonderful way! I love this vest that you created, and the ways that you created it.

[@nannychachi]

I love your style! I've always had this kind of look inside of me wanting to get out! I call it my repressed hippie. SO, today I cut off a pair of bibs, fringed the raw edge of the legs and added 3 pastel flowered patches to the front left leg. Baby steps. 😂 I will step out more with the next piece.

[@LazyIRanch]

I love this vest so much, but I have to say that the black and pink outfit you are wearing is _gorgeous_ and so elegant you look like a glam movie star!! I LOVE your sense of style! I've always made clothes, since age 12 when I got my first sewing machine. Why put time and work into an outfit, just to look like someone else? I know you have never worried about going to a party and seeing someone wearing the same outfit as you! You, and your wonderful creations are unique. I am so happy to have found your channel. I'm getting inspired to start creating again, instead of just mending old clothes now that I'm old and rarely go anywhere. However, I'm "jonesing" for a big ol' creative session like I used to do with my ex-husband's darling grandchildren who I enjoyed teaching sewing and crafts. We had a blast making crazy stuff in what I called the "messy zone"! Spill some paint? Knock over a cup of glitter? No biggie! That's why my house has linoleum instead of carpet! I'll clean up later after the kiddos go home. Sadly, I don't get to see them anymore since the divorce, and they are adults now. I still love them with all my 💘, and I hope they have good memories of our time together. I need to find someone else's grandchildren to "borrow" since I'll never have my own. I can't be in full creativity mode until I have fabric and trims spread over the dining table, and I have to set up a folding table to hold even more stuff to choose from. In my 20s and 30s, I worked in various fashion industries, from a couture designer making custom sculpted suits for rich ladies circa 1980, to a high-end children's wear company whose clothes were sold at Neiman's, to having my own custom sewing business in the 90s. Over the years, my stash of everything sewing-related has grown to massive proportions! 20 years ago, an elderly female artist passed away who had an enormous amount of sewing and art supplies. Her daughter-in-law was in charge of clearing out her house, and she apparently despised her elderly artist MIL. She had thrown yards and yards of very nice quilting fabric into a dumpster, which I retrieved. It had a musty smell from storage, but after washing it, it was fine. She let me take all of it! Some of it was Liberty of London fine cotton prints that retail for @ $30 a yard!😯 My problem is having TOO MUCH materials and neat stuff to create with that it can be overwhelming! Good thing is I never need to go to the store because I have all the fabric, trims, lace, antique buttons (by the thousands!), patterns, thread, zippers, beads, etc. I could ever need. I've been trying to start a project with an "antique" Wrangler work shirt circa 1950s. It's wonderfully soft, has "fancy" pockets and pearl snaps... and a big ol' rip across the back. The man it belonged to died more than 50 years ago. The shirt has "personality" but it's about to be bestowed with "personality PLUS" once I start the appliques. I have some antique quilt squares made during 30s-40s from printed flour sacks and other cute vintage prints. I'm going to use a particularly pretty Dresden Plate patterned quilt "square" on the back of the shirt to cover that rip, and go from there, adding whatever whimsy comes to mind! This time I checked eBay to make sure the Wrangler shirt isn't very valuable first. I made a big mistake 32 years ago when I took my ex-husband's grandfather's 1940s era "Big E" one pocket Levi's jacket and upcycled it by replacing the torn-up back panel with a piece of an old velvet wall-hanging of palm trees and camels. I love the jacket and still wear it, but one just like it (except better condition) sold for $9,500 on eBay recently!! One that really was just like it before I "fixed" it and was full of holes sold for about $3000. OOPS!

[@tmyershandmade978]

[@LazyIRanch]

Too bad I don't still live in Texas, I have a ridiculous amount of fabric, trims, buttons, lace... I've been sewing my clothes since age 12, 51 years ago, and I'd love to share it with other creative folks. I live way out in the middle of nowhere though. My nearest neighbor is 2 miles away. Your dog is beautiful! Reminds me of "Mike" the border collie from the movie "Down and Out in Beverly Hills". I also have a border collie! Aren't they the best doggies EVER? So smart and so sweet. His first owner had to rehome him after he bit their neighbor and the neighbor told them to get rid of him by the end of the day or he would "get rid of him" violently. What a creep! Joey bit him because he trespassed into Joey's yard and drunkenly yelled profanity at Joey's "littermates"; the two small children in his family that he guarded with his life. I got there as fast as I could, and showed Joey's owner pics of my 20 acre goat ranch in the mountains, where he will run free, no fences, and a herd of goats who need protecting. This place is like Disneyland for dogs! Joey has lived with me 13 years now, he still spry and a very happy dog. I stayed in touch with his former owner and she's happy that he's living his best life and has a job he does well. Those little children he protected 13 years ago are in high school now!

This is so much fun! I love how you blend so many different colors together in one outfit. I really struggle with that! I tend to be too matchy matchy! I love that you are encouraging folks to create and not think about what is popular or what others might like because whatever you do will appeal to someone! At one point, my husband said why are you not making stuff that people want to buy and it really made me feel so sad but bottom line is I do sell fairly well and I am pretty new at this so I’m not giving up my creativity

[@tmyershandmade978]

I'm in complete agreement!🤗❤❤❤❤

[@MsCjmaxi]

My mom would say something like that to me. She focused on how I would make money with my creations, writing, artwork, pottery, etc. It stunted my artistic growth for decades. Worrying about what will sell zaps my creativity. I love that she gives us "permission" so to speak, to just create and not worry about if it's going to sell. ❤ Now at 58, I'm just starting selling on Etsy. The competition is fierce, and people say Etsy is saturated. But I'm just going to create, and use my talent, and have fun. Thank you so much Traci for your videos❤

[@sandrinou1329]

Yeah, it's important what you said in the end of this video. Creations must be made according our wishes, our follies, our eccentricity and not according to people desires. I sew a lot of things for kids and adults, and I always wonder what kind of creations they would like to see. I don't have to think like that anymore. I must create according my desires. It would be better for my mind. You are right and yours creations are very nice. 🥰

Your vest is so cute on you. It is very interesting. Great job. My son demanded a leather jacket while he was in High School. When it got dirty, I took it to our only Dry Cleaner (who sent it to a cleaner in another area of the country). The dry cleaning cost almost as much as the leather jacket cost when it was new. However, it did not look clean at all when it came back. My son didn't want it anymore (because it looked dirty). After the dry cleaning it started to grow mold. I gave the jacket to a woman who made things out of old leather. She managed to save enough of the leather to cover an old Bible. I wonder what would have happened if I had just put that leather jacket in the washer and washed it like it was cloth? My son's leather jacket was almost a total loss from the professional cleaning. I have never bought any leather skirts, jackets, coats, or vests (new or used) after the bad outcome of that leather jacket.

It's risky, but if it's the last resort, why not. My items usually turn out fine. Sometimes they shrink.🥰

Dear Traci, once again, your colour sense is superb. I could watch just to see you co ordinate hues. Loved this one. I just got an emerald green faux suede biker jacket at the thrift store. “ what are you going to do with THAT?” Said my husband… oh, I’m just going to Myers it…..❤❤❤ Also, do you listen to audio books or podcasts as you create? Obviously not when making your lovely videos, but normally?

[@tmyershandmade978]

Lol thank you so much 🥰 I typically just listen to music, but podcasts are a great idea and I love audiobooks🤗💕💕💕

[@Creative_Freedoms]

Thank you so much - I recently bought a denim dress without trying it on (had I tried it on in store I wouldn't have bought it as it rides up. In short, it doesn't fit nicely - but I can certainly do this with it) 😀

[@tmyershandmade978]
