Transforming Thrifted Clothes! + sewing machine giveaway!!

[@moremiamaples]

This Giveaway is closed, the machines have officially been sent out! Congrats to the winners Emmalee, Sarah, Madison, Kassandra, Nicole, Lindsay, Alina, Briana & Alexandra! Thank you to everyone who entered :)

[@emmaleecove]

Thank you again 💕🫶🏻 so excited

[@Kira_J]

The 'useless' buttons at the bottom of the shirts are actually extras! So whenever you lose one, which happens sometimes, you can repair it. If you want, you can cut them out when you buy the shirt and keep them safe somewhere else. Some jeans have an extra button in the label for this reason

[@ShadeyLadey]

I thought this was common knowledge lol

Congratulations!! 🥳 I want to learn how to sew and Mia's videos are really inspiring. Maybe I'll finally learn 🤔

[@jessicasmith71564]

SAME! I just picked mine up from my moms, it's her old one she gave to me & she was storing it for me because I live with my husband & his mom. Haven't started yet. If I'm being honest I'm a little intimidated but excited. 😁

[@bellafontaine1408]

Mia, next time you wanna use that "floral embroidery" function of your sewing machine, just use some contrasting yarn. That way it would pop more😁 The final result looks so cute, omg❤

[@anouk6608]

My heart seriously grew 10x when I heard you were giving away a sewing machine. I remember my sister begging for one when we were younger but we couldn’t afford it. She’s no longer interested in seeing, but it makes me happy to know someone’s gonna get that chance ❤ you’re a great person Mia

[@laurenmokwa5104]

The more and more I watch your sewing progress, the more you're making me want to get back into learning!

[@marieleelee]

You might need to get a dress form that is your size soon. Since you’re doing so much more sewing it might help you and will hopefully make your projects easier.

[@alykaye5287]

I think that the finished dress is absolutely adorable. I really appreciate seeing your journey in sewing and how far you have come. Thank you for being you.

[@marikotrue3488]

I immediately clicked on this video and was so psyched that I did not even notice it was the 2nd channel until it was mentioned. Not that it makes a difference, says more about my attention level than anything else (TMI). Love the final reveal. SO glad that the scalloping and embroidery was added, really elevated the dress up from great to excellent.

[@tommiegnosis]

[@mooglies]

Hey Mia, the extra buttons on the shirt are there for if you lose a button, you have a matching button 😊

[@natyvictoria_]

The dress came out so cute! A tip my mom showed me to mark clothes: when you use a soap bar and it becomes too small, save it for when you’re sewing and want to quickly mark clothes! The soap comes out easily when you wash it. (This would help when you are marking your clothes and need to keep your place) great content !

[@thespankmyfrank]

There's also washable pens or crayons for this reason.

[@sundarmaanya.swiftie]

@thespankmyfrank2 yes, but using a piece of soap is much easier, and cheaper, and also less wasteful, so you don't need to go out and buy an entire box of crayons :)

[@Nevertoleave]

@@sundarmaanya.swiftie unless you don’t use bar soap, like a lot of people don’t these days. If you have kids you likely have washable markers or crayons laying around. You can buy chalk and sometimes the washable markers and crayons at dollar stores. Fabric stores often have things like tailor’s chalk or markers. I bought a pattern book at a dollar store that came with a fabric marker for like $3

[@katzbaugh9806]

Mia thank you so much for your giving heart! That is one of the things I love most about your channels!

Haven't heard if you selected winners yet and who the lucky ones are. Did you select winners already? Ive been keeping an eye open for both your KZbin channels to see the big announcement for it and i havent seen that. Did you post it somewhere else?

[@angelaahays4644]

I love this! The scalloped edge blew my mind. I didn’t even realize sewing machines did this! I recently started sewing and my stepmom got me a used sewing machine super cheap, and I’ve slowly been getting better! It’s difficult because it’s pretty old and it’s hard to find tutorials for my type (plus, it’s missing the small part you rest fabric on while sewing in the front), but it’s exciting to learn!

[@shawnsisler3743]

You did beautifully. It's an adorable transformation and it looks like you bought it from a nice store.

[@TheDrFishalicious]

Thank you Mia for posting your videos about sewing! It's really inspiring to see how much you've improved over the years!

I love sewing. I'm not "great" at it, but I love doing it. I can make quilts, clothing, drapes, etc., Can you believe I learned to sew in the 70s, and I'm still learning! It's one of those skills that, there's always room for improvement!

Very lovely job, simple but adorable. Thanks for facilitating the giveaway, I went to enter for the sewing machine but got huge laugh on how google form makes you add your birthdate... All us old viewers had to hit the calendar arrow button approximately a million times.

[@mala3isity]

The dress came out so cute, Mia! If you'd like your fancy stitching to stand out, use a different color. You can add other colors now and make a band of contrast on the front and sleeve edge or you can take out what you did and redo it in another color.

[@julliajuls]

The dress looked so cute! Oh man, I wish I lived either in Canada or in the US 😭 but it's okay, Mia. I enjoyed the video and the idea anyways!

[@samanthap7682]

Who won lol

[@LaineyW1983]

Came here to ask the same.

[@ChronicRapunzel]

Mia you have got to get into machine embroidery. I can see you already embroidering everything you own once you figure it out. I recommend grabbing a husqavarna machine. I would suggest the Topaz 50 as a good starting one. Then get the software called Hatch. You can design all sorts of cute things on there that your machine could run. You would have so many possibilities. For example making something “in-the-hoop” which is something where all the sewing and embroidery is done in the hoop. You can make wallets and bags like this. But you could also embroider cute little strawberries all over a dress. Or design your own thing for every one of your throw pillows!

[@marierichardson569]

Enjoy watching you turn a piece of clothing into something completely different and so stylish!

[@Zeddoeseverything]

I actually cannot wait to try this out - I feel like you could get super creative with buttons and trips and such. Also trying the multi pattern with ruffles or sleeves could make it unique

[@marissanisius6264]

Pro tip- before fitting the sides tighter, you can make darts going up and down on the princess lines in front and it'll make the fit smoother ❤ looks so cute, excited to try this one!

[@laurawhitehouse7946]

I recently got my mums old sewing machine when she bought a new one and so far I’ve only made a pillow case but I have a whole list of things that I want to make/alter 😁 I’m nearly 20 weeks pregnant and about to start making some maternity stuff and baby things and it’s all because you inspired me to try it 🥰 thank you

[@KK-wz9jy]

I'm a baby cosplayer and I've been buying pieces and hand-stitching when needed. I've been stuck in a rut lately because I was over hours of stitching but I've recently been binge-watching your sewing videos and seeing the meticulous effort that you always put in makes me feel like I can do it too! Also, Mia is right y'all even though it may take some time no matter how new you are you got this!💞

[@sarahjeanlowry4153]

This giveaway would be so great for me! I keep wanting to do projects on my sewing machines for me and my kids, but I've been given 2 second hang machines that keep breaking down and are so ancient. It would be extraordinary to have one that I know works!!! That dress remake was amazing Mia, I would love to do more of this stuff!!

[@madimonti]

That’s so nice that you did a google doc for entry. Most people do where like you have to follow them on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter and comment everywhere and I don’t even have those types of accounts. Loved the way the dress came out, and didn’t even have to stuff tissues up your nose. Hopefully getting the mold out of your house will make that a thing of the past. 😊

[@strawbjam8]

i grew up watching my mom use a sewing machine almost everyday as a hobby, it would be amazing to finally have one of my own so that i can also learn how to sew. love you mia!

[@sheHerTheyThem]

Here's hoping 🤞because this could be the sewing machine I use to teach at risk youth how to sew and transform and give new life into old things while hopefully giving them skills and community connections!

[@TheJacinda1]

I absolutely love this....gets my brain is going to want to do this. Cause of my size/height, it's hard to buy anything to fit, so repurposing clothing like this is amazing. Plus I love love love thrift shopping!!!

[@judithcatlett8518]

If you had used colored thread, I think you would have liked the hearts more. Most sweaters, shirts and even skirts, if they have buttons, will have additional buttons. The button(s) will either be in a small plastic bag, sometimes with matching piece of thread or attached to the garment. And don’t forget to remove the loose cross snitch at the bottom back of a jacket, skirt or coat. It’s only there so the flap doesn’t become bent.

[@cheryl-lynnmehring8606]

It's so generous of you to want to give away a sewing machine and 10 of them!!! Love you, Mia, and all you do!🥰😍💘

[@TheBinsQueen]

If you'd like a sewing machine and you're in the US they are literally ALWAYS at the thrift store. I highly recommend getting a vintage machine 80-90s. You can still get a machine with tons of options but will last a lot longer than the newer ones they make these days.

[@highonsuccessafteraddicito4644]

Mia I just turned 40 and you got me so interested in sewing, I was going to buy a sewing machine but I put a free ad in the give or take section saying I was a new sewer and I got like 5 responses and winded up getting a free sewing machine ( a brand new one!!) so if your looking for a sewing machine check you penny saver!

[@Jacqui_Fricke]

Mia! HUGE video idea! Could you do a video on the business of KZbin like how you budget, how you source income, your filming schedule, planning, ideas, and work-life balance? You are my role model as I try and get into this creative space, and I can't figure out how to do it all. I try to mimic your work ethic, but I'd love your secrets!

WOW dress turned out brilliantly. Your so generous giving away 10 sewing machines. Just wished I lived in Canada or USA. Good Luck everyone who enters . Luv from the UK x

[@strayiggytv]

For anyone getting hype on sewing and wanting to upcycled clothes I recommend getting a singer heavy duty 4452 second hand. Full metal frame, incredibly simple to understand settings and the power to punch through 8 layers of denim. I got one as an Amazon return and I'm loving mine!

[@cheryl-lynnmehring8606]

Helpful tips: 1. When pining a garment to take it in, put it on a mannequin or yourself inside out. Then you can sew right along (keeping good sides together) without having to unpin everything. 2. Put a pin horizontally (at right angles) across each end of your button holes when you go to slit them open. This will prevent you from cutting beyond the button hole into your material. 3. The buttons at the bottom of the shirt (sometimes they are found inside of a jacket, dress, or shirt in the seam allowance) are spares. They are found in good quality clothing.

[@milo154]

A sewing machine give-away is probably the coolest thing I’ve ever heard of (on this platform)! I love it how you show the creative, artistic process, the finished works and even make it possible for the viewers to get to do it themselves. Very inspiring! And I really mean that.

[@naivenostalgia]

Thank you so much for this giveaway opportunity!! I never win these things, but this one would really mean so much to me. I have been trying to get into sewing after knitting, but it's so time-consuming & difficult trying to do everything by hand. I've been wanting a sewing machine for so long, but can't even afford a mini one for ~$50. This would truly be such a blessing right now.😭🙏🏻💕👾

TIP: when you are taking something in, you could use chalk to mark it out and then pin it after taking it off, that’s gonna solve the problem of taking it off and pinning it to your T-shirt.

[@waynettegonzalez]

Mia, you’re the best!!! And the extra two buttons at the bottom of the dress shirt are spares just in case you loose one of the main buttons!! 😉

[@kristymabe8477]

My guess is her original was a plus size women's blouse because of the embroidery along the buttons and the scalloped collar. Super cute idea!
