Thrifted Supplies ONLY Challenge | Tudor Dress

[@rosielindsey702]

I know this challenge was a tear your hair out beast. But as a thrifter I LOVED that you used only thrifted items. That dress looks nicer than many of the costumes my friends go in.

[@adifferentsortofduck]

Thank you so much!!

[@roweng.4245]

I've been sewing since the '60s, and costuming since the '70s, and many thrifted curtains have been sacrificed along the way. Your gown turned out quite nicely.

[@adifferentsortofduck]

Thank you! Curtains are amazing!

[@pompe221]

You had me at the first 30 seconds. First you call me out, then you validate me. Yep, I'm hoooked! And I love that you used thrifted supplies.

[@adifferentsortofduck]

I almost didn’t post this video, felt kinda vulnerable. I didn’t realize it could be validating to others. I’m so psyched that it was 😊

[@caro75003]

Your comments are very funny 😂. When I think ' quick project ', 'Tudor dress ' is not the first option jumping to my mind 😅. What an amazing find at the thrift store! Perfect for your skin tone and beautiful dark hair ❣️

[@adifferentsortofduck]

Thank you 😊 For sure, a Tudor dress is not a quick project… unless one is delulu 😁🙃

[@bohemiansusan2897]

This project was more than challenge to say the least. I'm glad that you were able to finish it. Hope you learned from it. I have some that I came back to after a long while and finished. Others I just tossed out. I think that I have learned the most from these projects. Much of it being what not to do.

[@adifferentsortofduck]

Thank you! Learning what not to do is definitely important to figure out.

[@jeannebrooks6003]

That dress/entire outfit is a work of art!

[@adifferentsortofduck]

Thank you so much!!! 😊💛

[@makeda6530]

True, I also hate thinking about all the steps. I think you did great! The weird skills we learn we have that are useful in the most obscure circumstances is so real.

[@adifferentsortofduck]

Thanks! And I agree, weird skills can come in handy 😊

[@Puppy52]

Great job lady! Thanks for taking thru your journey🎉❤

[@adifferentsortofduck]

Thank you! It definitely was a journey 🙃

[@nbsomething]

Woah, great job on the dress, I admire your perseverance!

[@adifferentsortofduck]

Thank you!!!

[@maddyf.6296]

I think this is your best video yet! Turned out beautifully! Now I'm going to go resurrect a boched project. Lol

[@adifferentsortofduck]

Thank you so much!!! Yes! Resurrect it! It's alive!

[@valleriejoy]

It’s fantastic. I also appreciate the sustainable challenge you gave yourself. Awesome job.

[@adifferentsortofduck]

Thanks so much!

[@INLETOFGREENBAY]

And the dress is looking amazing too.

[@adifferentsortofduck]

Thank you!

[@MajaPlejada]

It hasn't even been a minute and I already stan :D

[@adifferentsortofduck]

I think this is the best compliment I’ve ever received 🥰 TY!!!

[@evelyntanswell3311]

I think that your dress turned out beautifully. It looks very rich with the colours chosen.

[@adifferentsortofduck]

Thank you 😊 I really like the colors too! It was amazing to find all of those pieces that went together so well 🤯😊

[@MichiaMakes]

😂😂😂 watching this while make the same dress from the same material. I used zip ties for my boning. I was using a bed spread in the same design and colors. I was able to eliminate numerous seams this way, making the making happen faster 🎉. I kept the piping already on the bed spread and the lining attached to it all together. Pro tip: if it can be cut and seamed together, it can be gathered for floofier results 🎉

[@adifferentsortofduck]

That's awesome! 🤩

[@jessicaneal8553]

I finished socks today! I started them almost 4 years ago. I'm glad I had the pauses in making, and something I can pick up and continue.

[@adifferentsortofduck]

Awesome!!! 🥳 Pausing and stepping away for a moment has been one of the biggest challenges, but also one of the biggest helps, to me. Socks! 🧦 That’s impressive! 😮 Socks sound challenging.

[@INLETOFGREENBAY]

No no no don't set it aside...you can do it!!

[@BlairStrand]

"Why am I like this is" my mantra.

[@adifferentsortofduck]

We need to make T-shirts 😁

[@sewcute_sewvintage]

Love the colours! It turned out very pretty

[@adifferentsortofduck]

Thank you! I love them too. I was almost sad about not making the red curtains into a formal, they were such a beautiful shade. I think I may have to make a red gown soon!

[@elizabethpiccolo5534]

I have several thrifted tablecloths earmarked for projects, it’s such a good deal!

[@adifferentsortofduck]

Nice! 😊

[@robintheparttimesewer6798]

That was a beautiful video and dress! Doing it all thrifted is hard. It really depends on your area and the staff at your thrift stores. I know one of my thrift stores don't put out any craft stuff other than fabric and yarn. Fortunately the others do but you really have to have been collecting for a while to end up with all the notions you would need for this project. I think I will go watch your back log

[@adifferentsortofduck]

Thank you so much!!! And yes! You are absolutely correct, I’ve been collecting here and there for many years. My local thrift store has a good craft section, I haven’t seen many craft supplies at other thrift stores. I feel VERY fortunate. 😊

[@aquaaurora2747]

Just stumbled across your channel. Awesome video, you really like to make use of all the fun filter/editing options! I too have trouble with time estimates for projects at best they take 2x as long. But usually 4-10x longer than I estimated x,x

[@adifferentsortofduck]

Hi! And thank you! I do like to make use of the options. If I don't mix it up I get SO bored. YES, time estimation is not strong with all, but we who are lacking in said skill make up for it in other strengths!

[@victoriamorris7859]

Wow! So creative. I am super impressed with your skills and love the self-awareness and honesty. ❤

[@adifferentsortofduck]

Thank you 😊 It’s taken a long time to get here. Lots of self examination has happened in the last few years. It’s rough, but I think it’s worth it 😌💛

[@savannahnordin3860]

This is so beautiful! Great job and thank you for sharing the process

[@adifferentsortofduck]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@Ellaodi]

This is AMAZING. 🎉🎉 girl you crushed it

[@adifferentsortofduck]

Awww ☺️ Thank you!

[@mistydavis664]

Love this, It turned out so nice and you bring such a positive presence to your channel. I am so glad I found this.

[@adifferentsortofduck]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@Gwenhwyfach]

Oh how I relate to this and what you say about estimating time... while also trying to make a Tudor petticoat with bodice for the first time for an event this weekend... 😅 Really cool video and channel, you deserve more views!!

[@adifferentsortofduck]

This weekend! Plenty of time 😁 You go! And thank you so much 😊

[@CamoLlama6]

I enjoyed this video and had suggestion for what to use as boning for a thrifted challenge. The plastic strapping used to hold boxes on pallets is similar to boning and free.

[@adifferentsortofduck]

Ooooo 😯 Excellent idea!

[@jadieeisthebest]

This is my first time watching and you are doing great

[@adifferentsortofduck]

Thank you so much!!!

[@INLETOFGREENBAY]

You inspire me!!!!😂

[@adifferentsortofduck]

Thank you! ☺

[@angelawossname]

Back when i was studying costume we had to do this all the time, most costumes had to be made with calico and/or thrifted fabric. We were alloewd to dye or paint the fabric, but the orginal fabric had to be second hand. Costumes made from curtains were pretty common.

[@adifferentsortofduck]

Cool! Yep, curtains are an excellent fabric source 😊

[@KyraDAVIS-jw6fi]

Well done. Very well done

[@adifferentsortofduck]

@@KyraDAVIS-jw6fi Thank you 😊

[@KyraDAVIS-jw6fi]

Welcome.

[@singingtick]

I enjoy this video. I also have a lot of unfinished projects (2 I had cut out 24 years ago). I am trying to finish them when the mood strikes. It usually strikes late at night or when I have a work deadline due. Hahahaha

[@adifferentsortofduck]

But of course! When a deadline approaches the creative motivation arises! 😁🙃

[@gmoshka799]

Just found your channel, and this is such a brilliant work, love the result so MUCH, wanna see more of it now! May the algorithm push your videos higher

[@adifferentsortofduck]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@marymiller8370]

Incredible!!

[@adifferentsortofduck]

Thank you!!! 😊🧡

[@Leon-gq6sf]

😂 i make things out of tablecloths, bedsheets, curtains all found at thrift stores 😅

[@adifferentsortofduck]

That is awesome! 😎

[@Deivid_C]

considering that most of these fabrics were wool, I wonder if Europe was really that much colder or if they really sweat rivers under their clothing and sucked it up.

[@adifferentsortofduck]

I've wondered the same.

[@leilasmila]

Wool can be surprisingly cool in the summer! It somehow self-regulates. (Especially compared to synthetic fibres) Also it was the mini-ice age then, so was legit cooler.

[@lpanayi6954]

You need loads more subs!

[@adifferentsortofduck]

Awe ☺️ Thank you so much!

[@Emmajen]

"I find time very confusing" my friend, have you considered ADHD? Lol. Time blindness is a huuuuuge issue for me. ❤ Also this dress is AWESOME. :) I imagine fairly sweaty though lol 😅

[@adifferentsortofduck]

Hee hee 😏 Perhaps 😉❤️ Thank you! Yes indeed, SO sweaty 🥵

[@Emmajen]

@adifferentsortofduck i really love that you made it all out of thrifted materials, too. :) I love thrifting fabric! Just yesterday, I thrifted a beautiful deep red coverlet to make into an 18th century quilted petticoat. :)

[@adifferentsortofduck]

@@Emmajen that sounds like it’s going to be so beautiful 😍 Yes! Thrifted fabrics/supplies are awesome!

[@Emmajen]

@adifferentsortofduck I hope so! I have big plans lol. Now to make my stays... lol

[@yazpis1achio]

Sleeping *in* the bathtub?! Do tell!

[@adifferentsortofduck]

Hah! 😄 I was sick and so congested I was having trouble breathing so I turned on the humidifier and closed myself in the bathroom and took a nap. It was successful 👍🏻

[@yazpis1achio]

I haveb*got* to find better thrift stores.

[@adifferentsortofduck]

I really lucked out with my local one. It is hit and miss, but sometimes I can find some amazing things.
