ABOUT:
Hi, I'm Wendy, and I have been on a sewing journey ever since my mom taught me how to make little outfits for my dolls. I studied engineering and business, had an office job for two years, and then quit to embark on a lifelong sewing adventure on KZbin. Subscribe to join me on the adventure, and maybe make your own clothing too! Thanks for watching ❤️

[@withwendy]

any long coat will do! I really did not know if I could pull off making a pair of shorts from a jacket but here we are. Btw if I seem a bit nervous or stiff it's because there's new people on the team and I'm adjusting to shooting with others in the space, thanks for watching and supporting our growth!!

[@karimchavez9829]

Of course Wendy!!! We love u so much!!!!!! So happy you're beginning with new things!!! 💕 💕 💕 💕 💕 💕 Lysm

[@abigailforsmark6226]

Ooh that's so exciting!

[@hweiyilee6559]

Great so happy for you! If there are other people helping with the filming, you can spend more time on the design and making process!

[@DJoy222]

I would love to make a shorts-jumpsuit-romper like this for my little 2 yr old daughter! What would you suggest looking for in a thriftstore children's section that I would be able to still pull this off? Pretty sure no labcoats there- and not sure what other type of "coat" or jacket would work. Would a really long adult shirt work? Thanks so much, in advance! 😊

[@RodneyAndMeVideos]

So exciting! Welcome to the new people ❤️❤️❤️

[@thomasfransen2503]

please don't make me upcycle my precious lab coat i still need it! But this looks so cool!

[@withwendy]

Hahaha later if you need to! ;)

[@Mackienze-R-Matuasilva]

Girl i had to like it before watching because i knew you don't disappoint. I love love the finish look

[@devinasetiono7669]

Me too!

[@TheSweetgurliee]

Same!

[@withwendy]

Thank you I love this so much it means a lot!!

[@LisaLisa001]

Samesies. Im 41 and just now teaching myself to sew just to try to keep up with everything she inspires!!!

[@handmakingmel3750]

This is so cute! I also think adding a patch over the logo would be a great way to personalize it even more! Thanks, Wendy ~❤️

[@LydiaNaomi]

really liking this silhouette! and how creative that you made it from a lab coat! I'm often just so impatient to do full out thrift flips like yours, and am always inspired when I see your cool ideas!

[@tarajay8754]

I'm a very new fan so basically just bing watching Wendy tutorials she is brilliant

[@lasphynge8001]

Great idea to thrift uniforms, it's an excellent way to get sturdy quality material for a very affordable price!

[@mirrorballmusings]

Love it! It looks so comfortable and easy to have adventures in. The idea for an Eleven costume is perfect too!

[@sophiagore5240]

Using a lab coat for this was such a cool idea! Thank u for giving a sewing newbie amazing inspo

[@kaytesutherland8442]

I know that company! They specialize in instrumentation and controls, logic and optimization for industrial systems (think fluid processes and maunfacturing). They're a division of Emerson and I took a loop tuning course from them as part of my engineering studies. Small world. :D

[@maithreyigr5376]

Me too! I used to work at Emerson in India and we used to send Lakeside Controls quotations for projects they send us.

[@linweezy99]

Too cute! Totally doing this with my lab coat from chem. At least one good thing came out of that class

[@emanando138]

diy tf out of my smushed heart, you’re the transformation god, proving once more to us humans that god is indeed a woman

[@mini_cc]

Hey Wendy, could you possibly do a video on hemming? Like from skirts to tops, and things with darts and elastic, and other types of hems for like curved or straight edges, or how to hem things with straps, etc. maybe?

[@dewikurniati8112]

So satisfying seeing how you cut the fabric

[@FluffySweetsandCake]

i love this! would it help to add darts in the pockets to keep it from sticking out?

[@LuzKaplanmusic]

I also thought the pockets were sticking out a little bit too much, maybe it would've been better to remove them altogether, but overall, I loved the jumpsuit too.

[@withwendy]

Oh man I too was very torn about the pocket situation, there's certain angles where it gives kind of a cool shape that makes the waist look really nice and cinched, and then other angles where it's like why is there so much random volume there. I put off the decision for now

[@LisaLisa001]

What about like cutting a v shape into the top of the pockets? They looked tall enough to do that and still be functional pockets? I am just curious if that would even work, I'm new to this stuff.

[@nemutravelneko]

@@withwendy Just a suggestion, but you can make a box pleat fold on the top of the poket, and just sew a straight stitch along the hem~ It gives a nice look and stops them from sticking out, while keeping most of the size of the pocket~^^

[@raraavis7782]

Very nice! Cuudos for not taking the easy way out and making a dress from it 😎 Will keep an eye out, for this kind of work coat for sure. And it gets bonus points, because I bet the material is really sturdy and will hold up to lots of wearing and washing. I actually have a sporty dress like that made from this kind of sturdy cotton twill and it’s going on 15 years now. I just re-dye it every couple years with whatever else black looks faded and it always ends up looking brand new again 😄

[@JENerationDIY]

So cool!!!!

[@withwendy]

Thanks Jen!!

[@emhen2309]

Work clothes but make them FASHION

[@kvinettaf09]

I love utility jumpsuits! They're so much fun, and this was an awesome tutorial. Definitely gonna give it a go 😄

[@estheristoocool]

that lil “whatchu want” and laugh at 6:02 was absolutely adorable

[@chrisclark7805]

Wow great transformation. I need to do more upscaling stuff like this. I'm forever sewing from scratch. 😭

[@sevvalknits]

You’re so good at this! I love watching your videos!!!💖

[@ccpperrett7522]

Thank you for your very creative tutorial. I love repurposing things.

[@mamoriim]

wow, that is one of the best diy transformations i’ve ever seen! the look was really nice and for what it was at the beginning, amazing

[@xxNaaviixx]

That reveal montage was so creatively edited! Looked so cool

[@ObedTradership]

Thank you for this helpful video.

[@jerrya5496]

Lovvvvvvve Wendy and her videos!!! She’s so underrated 💕💕💕

[@torithibs]

Love the big pockets!

[@RedRooster123]

awesome! Thrift shop here, I come! How about something from graduation gowns (those are everywhere here (in Dallas).

[@rebs3378]

unless you want the gaps, you could totally detach then reattach pockets to make that back pocket gapping disappear !

[@louiscisse]

This is my possibly FAVE thing you’ve ever done omg SO GOOD

[@linatejada9]

You make the coolest pieces

[@EarthenVassels]

So talented babe 🙌🏾

[@lizadewaal5470]

I love the way this turned out!!😍

[@KayossMonkey]

AMAZING!! and could you please show how much fabric is left after these thrift flips? ❤️

[@marthy9953]

Muy lindo el enterizo así se dice en colombia o bombacho y aquí en españa se dice mono... Felicidades....

[@dreamelatte]

Looks so cool and comfy! I love it

[@Hadenbsland]

Hey Wendy! Loved this tutorial! Can you show us how to make basics with rayon, spandex, + polyester material? Leggings, fitted crew neck t shirts, mock neck t shirts, and biker shorts!? Please and thank you 🧡

[@milap5242]

Awesome diy idea! 😍

[@ras8031]

Such a cool look! How do you see things like this at the thrift store and see the possibilities of what it could become?!

[@DJoy222]

Ooooh- i just realized i have a really cool "chef's"/baker's coat from Sweet bakery in MA! I couldn't help but keep it (someone I worked with gave it to me because their roommate worked there and left it and they knew I loved baking cupcakes), but never knew what the heck I'd use it for! Maybe I can use it to make my little girl this...it's really stiff though 😬

[@mvivar5391]

Omg this is perfect! I had a long coat like this and had no idea what to do with it. Thank you 🤧✨✨

[@AuroraAgraz]

Hi Wendy!! I like your videos about creating/recreating clothes and I would love to do that aswell, what type of fabrics do you recommend for dresses? Thank you! ❤️🙏🏻

[@sekaihatsu]

Bet this could work with like a big and tall type of men's shirt (for the length) or maybe two shirts if one men's shirt isn't long enough. Thank you for the video!

[@mr.jceniza]

Hey Wendy, luv your DIY’s! Can you make some DIY’s for guys? Thanks 🙏🏻

[@maunarose]

Rosie the Riveter vibes. 🧡💛🔨🔨💛🧡

[@paulacifu]

[@eyechives]

[@indieconquers]

Do you ever make pretty guys with French seams or anything or just raw inside?

[@preciousarabella8640]

Love this Wendy! Btw can I just say that you have very nice hands, your ring looks amazing on your fingers! 💕

[@haleywalker3052]

This is the coolest DIY tutorial I have EVER SEEN!!! I wish I could sew!

[@sarazuhair5026]

you can sew some elastics to the back pockets to stay close, i would do it. good job.

[@aislinnthelion]

I love your diys

[@JulieHiltbrunner]

What a brilliant idea!!!

[@abigailforsmark6226]

This turned out so well!! Super cute

[@emiliamodrusan]

[@-Henley-]

D-Did you Sasuke run across a parking lot?? It came out so nice. I wanna try making one.

[@karlawalker3976]

It’s easier to put the one leg inside the other with right sides together!

[@lolathetomboy]

You look like a policeman in shorts with this outfit (esp with the shades 😂). It looks really cute!!

[@BellaJae]

So cool. You’re the perfect size for this recreation..

[@omegarocks9079]

Hi Wendy loved your video 💜💜💜 how long in real time did it take you to finish the jumpsuit?

[@withwendy]

This was a 2 day project I think? Not working non-stop but I've found it helps me to insert one sleep somewhere in the project to refresh the mind hahaha

[@peepinsleep409]

this looks sick im jealous

[@IER-ns9hv]

Pretty cool look..

[@desirespiritband2541]

Ahhhh!!! “Bermuda length” ***gets excited because I’m from Bermuda!!!

[@annielamarre2602]

That's a shop coat! they're actually fairly common for mechanics to wear, but tbh the only setting I've actually seen a mechanic wearing a coat like that while working was during shop class in High School lol

[@karimchavez9829]

OMG!!!! Thank u!!!! I want one of this sooo bad!!!! 💕 💕 💕 💕

[@danaelos.]

Lovely, Wendy! And ohmygosh what docs are those?! They're so cute, I've never seen that style before!

[@shunkahato]

I love this! Out of curiosity, how much would you sell it for?

[@alexismcdonell1210]

SO FREAKIN CUTE! Now I need a lab coat and a sewing machine.

[@carol4642]

you are so cool wendy!!!

[@Strylover]

Nice job.

[@anulkaaw]

I love the baskets on the cabinet. Anyone knows if they available for purchase anywhere?

[@robyn3349]

Very cute!

[@lamoskgr]

I LOOOOVE THIS DIY!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@ellimcelhannon4077]

the montage at the end is giving me mad conan gray vibes not that i’m complaining

[@nabtoota]

A blazer thrift flip Wendy please please pleaseee! I don’t know how many times I came across a cute looking blazer with wonderful fabric and buttons but it doesn’t fit and there isn’t much on KZbin on how to alter it and make it fit. PLEASE.

[@alxndram1567]

Oh Wendy, you’re so amazing!!

[@gellrb56]

Interesting idea. To save time and work why not just take in the sides, or back, then cut and sew the bottom of the shorts? That way you don’t have to cut the top and bottom apart and then have to sew it back. It would leave the placard in pace. That would be a lot less work. You could then add a waistband or elastic if needed.

[@juliabrandolth4946]

Yesssssss i love that It looks bomb

[@gabrielamorales3902]

OMG Great idea. I love it :)

[@KIXPLORE]

this is awesome! you are awesome. i just discovered your youtube channel. i wish i could do what you do so i can just make my own clothes hehe

[@eva9411]

I can’t find those scissors anywhere... did you get them in Europe? The closest ones I could find to them are called “zhang xiaoquan dressmaking scissors“ but I can’t find them in that color to sell to me 😭

[@vanequa]

I want one in pink

[@Barbiedolllh]
