 Hi guys, welcome back to the channel, Brianna, where's your mask? We're on the way to go thrifting for the first time since quarantine or since the let-up but wear your mask people because this pandemic is not over with. Also, this is Brianna, father, new subscribers, this is Brenton. This is my twin brother if you didn't know and this is my sister. Who was it? Who looks more like my twin? Yeah, my actual twin. Oh, I have something on my nose. Anyway, we're going to get well. It should be fine. I'm not going to vlog too much in there because that gets weird. Yeah. Basically, I'm looking for jeans and maybe some t-shirts because I'm so tired of wearing heavy hot clothes. This is summertime. I need to like light blue. Give me like things like this, like this vest. It's something I can just throw out and be cool. Yeah, that was a fail. What'd you get, Bri? My skin. What'd you get? I got that fabric, but I was really looking for clothes. But I think I can make something really cool with some of the fabric that I found. So that was the only place we're stopping. Okay, jumping right into the fifth flip. I wanted to use this plaid fabric that I found on that same thrift trip. I patterned out a vest that was similar to the one I was wearing because that's all I want to wear is easy, breathable clothing. So here's all the pattern pieces cut out. I have one of everything and then one of a lining, plus a pocket and then a button fastener thingy, button loop maybe. So I started by sewing together the button loop or fastener and the pocket together. Then I cut off the excess seam allowance and flip them right sides out, gave them a little press and then top stitched them so they were ready to attach. I went ahead and attached the pocket to the front fabric only, not the lining. Once I sewed that in place, it looked something like this. And then what I did was sandwich the button loop fastener thing in between the front piece and the lining and went ahead and sewed that, leaving the bottom part open so I could flip it right sides out. And then once I was done with both sides, I went ahead and cut up the excess seam allowance and then flipped it right sides out and then ironed it down. I didn't want to top stitch just yet because I wanted to attach the back first. So basically with the back, I took the lining piece and attached the yoke and the bottom part right sides facing as well as the fabric pieces. Once that was done, I set them on top of each other right sides facing and sewed them down as well, leaving the bottom and the two shoulder seams open so that way when I flip the inside out, you'll see what I mean. It got kind of confusing if I'm being honest. And then that opening allowed me to stick in the front two pieces into that opening. My goal was to not have any seams showing and it definitely worked but it was just a little too complicated for my taste. So I'm just not going to even explain what I did because basically I just opened up a side and did the same thing on the sides so you wouldn't see any seams but it was kind of complicated and I ended up doing it different way because as you'll see, this was a little too tight. I also didn't like the front but when I crossed my arms it looked pretty good which was something to look forward to but yeah the arms were definitely way too tight and I didn't like the one loop by itself. So basically as you could see the vest top is a little too tight around my arms. I need to like loosen it up but adjusted the pattern to have more space in the armpit and then to also lower the neck because that was a problem I ran into or lower the back of the neck and I just didn't make it a little bit wider in the shoulders. I'm gonna, I think I'm just gonna like let this be because I don't want to undo it all but I actually have another fabric that I was gonna use this for before I found that one. It's this really cool like denim esque fabric. It's like a heavier weight material but it has like overall and patches which I think will be really cool so I think I'm going to switch it up and recut out everything in this and then try it from there. Also I think I'm gonna add two of these so it'll be one at the top and one at the bottom so it can close better and not just in the middle. I don't know if that'll get done today because I have some other stuff that I have to do but I'll keep you guys updated. Hello everyone I'm back it is the next day and I decided to go ahead and recut out everything in this little denim fabric including the two little button parts and actually I'm not gonna line this one this time because it is like a heavier weight fabric so I'll just fold in him once I'm done so basically I'm about to just sew this bad boy together now that I have the new arm hole cut out and even the new shoulders and see how it goes but I'm actually pretty excited but yeah I'm just gonna get sewing and see what happens so basically I'm just doing all the steps that you guys saw before just without aligning so I'm just sewing everything together naturally and then I'll just fold and hem it I did add a top stitch to the back yoke which I thought would be a nice little detail even though you can't really see it. Then I attached the shoulder pieces together and then tried it on one more time and this fit a lot better in the arms I had a lot more space a lot more room so yeah all in all this felt really good. Next I went ahead and worked on the two button fasteners and then after those were done I went ahead and rolled him everything what you guys don't see is that I actually ran out of bobbin thread during this whole process yay me so I was not excited about that but once I was done I actually was looking pretty good so I went ahead and just figured out where I wanted to attach the buttons these are my cute little star buttons that I got from the fabric store and actually hand sewed them on believe it or not I don't do a lot of hand sewing because I love using my sewing machine but for these I made an exception and that is the top all done I'm actually very excited with the way it turned out I'm glad I got to use these gold star buttons I don't sew on I don't hand sew button so I'm just glad that I got past that to put these on but yeah I'm really happy with the way it turned out I'm glad that I had the first fail with the green plaid one first so that way using this fabric I was able to get it right I took the pocket off I was like what's that on my butt so that is the end of this week's video I hope you guys enjoyed I like to include everything even when I fail because I was actually very excited about that I see it over here I was very excited about the green plaid vest I'm just because I love plaid but it didn't work out but I'm glad because I was able to get it right with this fabric I actually still have a lot more I'm thinking about doing a bucket hat for the first time I don't even wear bucket hats but I've been seeing them a lot on YouTube so I thought why not try my hand at making one so that might be what I do next who knows I'm kind of always just up in the air with what I feel like sewing but if you don't know I actually have a patreon where I do like behind the scenes I actually posted about me failing with that green plaid like yesterday or day before yesterday so you kind of get behind the scenes of what I'm working on before the video comes out also I do like tarot readings on there daily readings I'll be doing Q&As and live streams as well for the month but yeah we already got a few lucky patreon's over there so if you want to be one of those as well you can follow it or you can find it in the description bar below all my other links are down below as well I do do I do personal tarot readings as well if that's something you're into hit me up also in the description bar below but anyway until next time I'll see you guys in my next video see you guys later
