That shirt transformation is a simply genius! And both of them are so you now x

[@taram3925]

My mind is blown by your creativity as always! I LOVE the ruffles and how you utilized the spare pieces that seem unusable on first sight.

[@RoseryApparel]

Thanks! This one was a lot of fun to put together 😊

[@olivers333]

Loved it.. you’re so clever! How do you come up with this stuff? AMAZING! The shirt is so adorable.. I would like a couple of darts in the back to bring it in a bit.. but that’s me lol. The sleeves are just the bee’s knees. Wow, such a quick and easy fix for the jeans!! Thanks for sharing. 😍

[@RoseryApparel]

Thanks lovely! I’m so happy with the shirt (I can never have too many ruffles 😉). I hope it was worth the wait x

[@olivers333]

@@RoseryApparel Always Janelle, Always! 😘

[@simmoneb4524]

Great upcycling. I used to add elastic to my Yakka work pants to make them sit sit and help keep the up! Changing the shirt into a ruffled blouse was inspired. Not my style any more but a great use of existing fabric. It would be fun to cut something down for kids too.

[@alphie333]

I love the elastic waist band hack! So easy as quick!

[@sarahlarson8335]

Great transformations. So cute, so you, and such great inspiration. Feels like I could accomplish a lot of this even as a confident beginner sewist. My favorite part is using elastic to bring in a slightly oversized waist on a pair of jeans or trousers. What a great solution to such a common challenge. I can't wait to try it.

[@BarbyDailey-Rurallife40]

You are "sew" creative! I love the transformation of the shirt.

[@RoseryApparel]

Thank you 🧡

[@alisalarsen9163]

Bodkins are a fantastic tool for feeding elastic through holes. Personally I think they work a lot better than safety pins.

[@RoseryApparel]

Yes I’ve heard this! I have a bodkin I’ve just never been able to figure out how to use it. I’ll have to find it and watch some tutorials on it 😊

[@stephaniewoodcock-smith5566]

Outfit looks lovely and really wearable. Impressed that your clothes are wash and wearable vs some contemporaries that are visually appealing but would not survive a washing machine. Please continue being so inspirational. Thank you.

[@leahm9773]

Your pants alteration enabled me to fix a pair of pants that I've been sitting on for ages! Thank you 😊 💓

[@annebrown3538]

What a super idea and better for the planet than having them heading for the land fill. X

[@marathorne6821]

Genius! I may try that elastication trick on some ready to wear trousers in my wardrobe which I don't wear as they are a tad too loose around the waist... I am intrigued to try refashioning large men's shirts as they are abundant in the charity shops and sometimesthe cokours and patterns are really nice. I am not sure about retaining the collars, though, I personally would prefer cutting them off and making a round neck with a facing. That could work, I think?

[@RoseryApparel]

Yeah it should totally work! I’m tempted to try something similar next time 😊

[@almost_rosey]

Love this transformation! The look really suits you and I'm sure they will be amazing as separates too.

[@carjen121]

What a beautiful outfit. Love how you turned a shirt to a blouse. I wish I could sew like you💕👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@RoseryApparel]

Thank you! Give it a try, I’m sure you might surprise yourself 😊

[@paskulls]

They look so good together! Really great upcycles

[@RoseryApparel]

Thanks! I’m soo happy with them both 😍

[@katrinalevin4064]

Great finds and a great flip. Your eye for finding these colors again and again is really good.

[@slinky.blackcat9965]

Hi Janelle, thank you for this video! I just used the elastic waistband idea to adjust a skirt that was too big. No more safety-pinning it 🥳

[@sekaihatsu]

Another great Rosery re-make! Thank you for sharing your creative take on thrifts flips.

[@sharonbrinders1224]

Love your tutorial Janelle. You did an amazing job. Those colours really looks good on you. Can't wait to see your next video. Remain blessed xxx

[@RoseryApparel]

Thanks so much 🧡 some of my fave colours for sure!

[@vindviskning]

Such a cute shirt transformation 😍

[@4thetruth440]

you're amazing !!!So inspiring

[@flyezilla]

All your flips are so clever and easy to follow! I love watching them. Maybe you could think about the way you describe the original shirt - it's not oversized or massive, just not your size. It's a bit insensitive to people who wear that size.

[@RoseryApparel]

Thanks for the feedback. I definitely should have clarified that it was massive *on me 😊

[@BeautyNookbyLauren]

Came to say the same thing 🙂

[@yougotmeinstitches1847]

Haya. Great thrift flip. Both garments are great, the shirt is just wonderful with all the details :) Thanku 'sew' much for sharing. x

[@lyndapeterson9948]

The shirt is an amazing transformation, love it. Thanks for the video. Have a great week.

[@fathimaroshna2355]

You jeans thrift really helped me so much ❤️I love the way it turned out🥹

[@sophiapearson6473]

So excited to give the ruffled sleeve a try!!

[@alkav5780]

This is really amazing . Gonna try this for sure 💃🏻🤸‍♀️

[@laurarose8481]

I'm seriously about to do that to all of my oversized button up work shirts

[@dmm1067]

Thank you Janelle for another wonderful video. The shirt is adorable 😍👏

[@RoseryApparel]

Thanks so much! I’m glad you liked it x

[@sarah.hamzah]

Wow the shirt is adorable 💖 the colours of both are perfect for you

[@spanishhomemadeinbarcelona8070]

I soooooo love your transformation projects, brilliant ❤️

[@RoseryApparel]

Thank you! They are one of my favourite types of videos to make so I’m glad you like them 🧡

[@toomuchcreativity41lifetim79]

I love this upcycling 😍

[@yuukimare9847]

Hello Janelle 👋 I love your thrift flips, you are such an inspiration 💛

[@RoseryApparel]

Thanks so much, that really means a lot 🧡 x

[@krissycus]

Your style is impeccable, and your tutorial so easy to understand and mimic. I just thrifted a huge shirt that looks almost exactly that the one you used, and I'm off to the sewing table!

[@tracyfrost]

It’s beautiful you did an excellent job.

[@RoseryApparel]

Thank you 🧡

[@lorrainedempsey3320]

Great design!!!

[@doreenbradley3849]

Brilliant ideas. I'm going to try the shirt one!!!! Thanks for the video 🤩

[@suzannevenkataraman2045]

I love what you did with the shirt! What a clever idea on how to make the waist smaller on the pants. I have this problem all the time with pants.

[@deannajohnson3933]

Very nice. The color scheme matches you perfectly.

[@gracesmith6079]

That method of taking in the waist of those jeans was genius! I can't wait to try it!

[@RoseryApparel]

Such an easy fix!

[@sagilotus]

Just beautiful I love the added ruffles on the sleeve of shirt

[@hannahbuciu9160]

Wow I really want to try doing both of these!

[@sandrahorne8742]

Loved the shirt transformation. 😊

[@michelleliquoriross3790]

Great job! I always learn something new.

[@Angelicalace1]

Love the shirt. Am going to have a go at altering one myself. Thanks so much😀

[@muu4656]

The flips turned out spectacular! I definitely want to have a go at making the top, it's just so adorable!! For the pants, as tip to anyone that has little ones or if your weight fluctuates (me lol), they make elastics with button holes sewn into them; you can do exactly as in this vid, but instead of sewing the elastic on both sides, you can sew in buttons instead and loop the elastic into the waistband (might also want to clean up the holes the elastic feeds into). You now have some adjustable bottoms!

[@RoseryApparel]

That’s such a great idea!

[@marionlacey1986]

Gobsmackingly clever Janelle. You make it look so easy - even if its not! Both look fabulous on you. Thanks for another super refashion video. 🥰

[@RoseryApparel]

Aw thanks so much! 🧡

[@fathimaroshna2355]

I was watching you thrift shopping video yesterday and I thought when will you put your thrift flip of that shirt and pant at momment you put this video and I was surprised to see this video love this thrift flip...... 🤩and it inspired me to thrift flip some items of clothing that was in my stash❤️

[@angies3057]

That's beautiful!!🌹

[@PeaceLoveDolls]

Your outfit came out beautifully.

[@anneyoung1011]

Great up cycle, looks great.

[@mariapadilla8022]

Tus transformaciones de ropa son geniales ❤❤

[@glynisreynolds446]

Just found this 🤩 What great ideas 👍👍 You look great in your new outfit 😃😃🇬🇧

[@maryambham3124]

Definitely inspiration that I'll try...amazing...thank u🌼

[@branches_of_activities]

You did that very nicely... wow as I always say you are my inspiration ❤

[@RoseryApparel]

Aw thanks so much! I’m so glad my videos inspire you 😄

[@eebeegee8325]

Beautiful, am going to give the shirt a go and I love the Jean 👖 hack! 😉

[@hopestevanus1458]

Love the pants!

[@olivers333]

Waiting alllll day!

[@yuukimare9847]

Same!! Well, 11 pm for me right now, so basically all night 🌙😴

[@brigidscaldron]

That was so creative!

[@RoseryApparel]

Thanks! I love making these thrift flip videos. It’s such a creative process!

[@clairep6453]

J'aime votre travail😍😍😍

[@MiauMichigan]

That's soooo cute 🥰

[@patbuegeler7770]

Adorable.

[@MsSavvy9]

I love how you took in the jeans! It makes me with I had a reason to take in jeans! 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@carolyngrotaers4454]

A great transformation of your thrift finds. This is just a thought, to soften the collar, perhaps l would put a ruffle around the collar in lieu of a pointed collar. This ruffle will correspond well with the other changes that you have made to the transformation of the shirt.

[@janemahan2663]

So impressed....

[@wendyh3245]

Gorgeous Janelle.

[@hawthorngrove3629]

Super cute

[@laurenaderman1151]

Genius!

[@cathytarapacz]

Just amazing

[@JuliaLawley]

Totally on brand. Perfect for Rosery Apparel. :-)

[@slowfashionstyle]

beautiful upcycle!!

[@RoseryApparel]

Thanks so much 🧡

[@lorrainewhiting1267]

Looks wonderful, clever lady

[@RoseryApparel]

Thank you 🧡

[@dag1937]

So cute 🥰

[@emmyguiang5216]

Can you also make a video on how to upcycle men's shirt/long sleeves into a summer dress for women over 50 yrs old? TIA💖

[@annebator950]

The blouse was just genius! Good for you! Have you thought of getting yourself a bodkin? Look into it. You do so much with elastic that it might be worth a purchase. They aren’t very pricey and are very handy. They come in different sizes as well. I’m going to put the elastic in the waistband trick to use ASAP!

[@RoseryApparel]

Funnily enough I already had one in my stash and totally forgot about it! Thanks for the reminder! I used it yesterday and it’s a total game changer 😄

[@leychie3689]

when on flatlays it looks kinda short and small size, but when you wore it, it's actually big and long as a dress

[@RoseryApparel]

I was almost tempted to make it into a dress it was so long!

[@thedaydreamer6637]

Pretty outfit!

[@RoseryApparel]

Thank you 🧡

[@silviahahne5433]

Menina, você é fantástica, a renovação ficou perfeita e a camisa que era "gigante", ficou linda. Beijos do Rio de Janeiro - Brasil.

[@RoseryApparel]

Thank you 🧡🧡

[@christig1611]

You are my idol!

[@DoriceLee]

Love the elastic in the waistband technique! I am wondering though, do you have to cover up the two holes left over on the inside so that those openings don't fray?

[@xensantiagomarta]

I love it. It's very "lady". Here is a cloudy day I have my grandfather's shirt I could try it 🤭🤭🤭

[@RoseryApparel]

Enjoy making your own version 😊

[@bingsim]

Love your transformations, wish I was handy on the sewing machine like you!

[@Ann-nv7mn]

What shirring elastic do you recommend?
