As it's another long video (sorry guys, I'm trying to cut them down), check out the following time codes to skip to the juicy details 12:16 to check out the finished trousers 13:59 for a close-up look 😘

I love these pants, especially the front patch detail! Great upcycle! I'm looking forward to more of your videos. :)

Hey Megan! Ah I'm glad you liked them and thanks for the watch :) xxx

I'm so impressed by this upcycling! I dont think in 5 years of sewing I have upcycled anything! I get too lured by the pretty patterns and fabric! I have however mostly stopped buying clothes in the shops (apart from black leggings) so am doing my bit (or so I like to tell myself). Dont feel you need to cut your videos down, theyre not that long! x

Penguin and Pear Dressmaking Thank you so much! I think I've caught the upcycling bug and am itching to make a pair of #mndawn jeans...I'm thinking all patched 😎. Making your own clothes is defo doing your bit, you know who's made them! Thank you for all your feedback and comments Claire, I do really appreciate it 😘

@@frockmolsews7672 No problem, I enjoy your videos! I just purchased the Dawn jeans about 2 days ago! And the Jarrah top. I'll be interested to see what you come up with. I'm excited to make them, but have a dress, a clutch and a bra to make first! Oh yes, my makes have their own queue! x

[@frockmolsews7672]

Penguin and Pear Dressmaking oh gosh so many makes...so little time 😁! Is that for your sewing challenge? Oh I'd love to see your Dawn jeans when you've made them...what fabric are you going for? X

[@Penguinandpear]

@@frockmolsews7672 Thanks, I'll show them on my vlog. They are seperate to the challenge I am running (well, the clutch is part of that). The dress is for Minervra, I am doing a video collab with someone for the bra... in terms of fabric... I have some twill which is in a colour im not keen on so think i may use that for my first pair (Ive never made trousers before). Im nervous to make trousers with no stretch but apparently these trousers dont require stretch. Tomkatstitchery and Lifting Pins and needles have both done videos on them and the non-stretch does seem to work.... x

[@frockmolsews7672]

Penguin and Pear Dressmaking you're so busy!! Well done on all the collabs, that's so exciting!! You're a font of knowledge...I will check them out for inspo 😁👌 x

How fun! I love turning old things into new things, giving them a whole new life! I got a groovy dress from a flea market that wax pretty hideous on me and used the fabric to make a new dress & I love it!! Its somewhere on my insta, lime green psychedelic beast! Super cute pants, hadn't heard of this pattern before!

[@frockmolsews7672]

Hey Kipp! Oh awesome I'll check out your insta, I'm sure it's beaut😍 . Omg it's so satisfying...I'm itching to do more!! Thanks for watching again 😘😘 x

Thank you!

Hi Mol, fun project! I have a suggestion. If one of your customers would be cool with it, I would find it interesting to see a video or a videoseries about your alteration work. Maybe also about how you are working with delicate fabrics (which I assume you do). Anyways, it is just a suggestion, for my own personal interests, your channel is already great as it is! cheers Jannie

[@frockmolsews7672]

Hi Jannie. Yes of course I can! Are you thinking general alterations or bridal alterations? Thanks for watching xx😘
