 All right, you guys as promised we are gonna go through some of these works in progress But I've been keeping in that closet In order to see what can stay what? Actually gonna get sewn and what I Just have to get rid of it. I'm looking at some of them that I know they're like almost more sentimental than anything because there's memories attached to them, but I They're probably gonna have to go. Okay, so first things first You would have had to have been with me for a long time to remember This this is a fabric that I got in New York City. I was absolutely obsessed with the fact that you could get The blue on white and the white on blue in the same print. That was so unique to me I had never seen that before in Fabric that I could buy by the yard and so I was like, oh my god. I have to make something And then started to make this little set. I cannot remember Why we stopped This is so hard There's little pockets here. I can almost guarantee for sure that this is not going to fit anymore But I don't know would somebody buy it off of Etsy. It is like pretty much done We have a little collared thing. I mean that is the crossmanship any good. I mean No better or worse than what you see on Like H&M and all that So there's that and then the skirt is a mess Yeah, I think the skirt wasn't fitting so I took it in I can see how I did that here But I could just let that out again But the waistband would be an issue Oh, it's like so close to being done. Okay, I can't I can't not yet not yet I can't we'll do better. We'll do better as we keep going but this one this one's Too close and too cute. So she's a keep Okay, this will be easy. This is a little baby polo that I got not for me um because I was gonna make Sunny my dog who died three years ago four years ago A dog clothes dog clothes out of this Um, obviously we never got around to that Um, I think I was gonna film it and put it on the channel I can still do it for the girls but If it hasn't happened yet you guys it's not gonna happen So and two these little polos at Goodwill are a dime a dozen I could just go get another one if I'm like if I get it all figured out I get the pattern done and everything else and get the tutorial ready to go then We'll go back and get another one of these but for now This little cutie is going to go back to Goodwill Okay, this is I don't even remember buying this. Um, this is a skirt With shirring. Oh, it's Maeve That's actually kind of nice It's a it's a this it's a top like it's a dress like this. I think the the um tag is way down here I think that just needs to be a skirt and needs to just go in my closet What the heck? I don't know why I hung it up and put it in there What was I going to make something else out of it? Yeah, I think I was going to cut all this away And do something else that's foolish. Let's just wear the skirt Okay in the closet. So this one is going to go in my actual closet So we'll put that over there. Okay Um, we're the hangers going let's put the hangers here. All right. This is All right, so this is an example of when a pattern and a fabric Don't align But lord help me if this isn't almost done too now I get why all these were sitting in there So and it's also a color that just isn't Right, we can all agree. This is not my coloring right so I think I'm just going to take this to goodwill as is it has raw hems, but I mean there's plenty of clothes that do that so To goodwill. Enjoy. Um, if that were a better color for me, I probably would have kept it Okay, this is a swing dress Originally from old navy um that I wore a couple of times. The problem is is that it's very bouncy And so when I walk in it like I'm standing still it's fine when I start walking it bounces and it's a little short um So I just was kind of uncomfortable wearing it But that's not to say it couldn't be a really great sleep shirt Do I need more sleep shirts? I do love a sleep shirt But then if I keep it as a sleep shirt, am I going to be tempted to wear it as real clothes? Yes, it's only old navy. It's only a jersey. Do I want to make it into a T? Or do I want to make it into like just shorten it? That's probably what I was thinking I was going to do But I already have a sweater top of this guy. I don't need this. Okay See I see I'm I'm making hard decisions for sure. I'm feeling better about myself Okay, this guy. Do you remember this? I think I even yeah, I definitely filmed this and put it on the channel What happened was see what happened was I didn't sew the zipper properly so the zipper Tape has come apart from the lining. So I just need to pick that apart And re-sew it in Yeah, that's literally all that needs to happen and then I'll have this cute little top again Which was so cute with like white jeans and stuff So Okay, this is going to be In this pile Okay, ha move him right along. All right. So now we have Okay, so we have this this is a Cape coat it is This is how far I've gotten this is the popover poncho Can't tell you who the designer was Popover poncho. No idea. Um, ow. There's a pin Wow, there is a pin. Okay. So this is the state of it. I did welt pockets Dang, that's really cute. Look at the print mix ain't matching What is what are these pins for? Why is there a pin here and here? Oh, because that's the hem Is that where I was gonna hem it to what do I have left over here? I have A cowl neck. Is that what I was gonna do? Um And then some scraps I think Yeah scraps scraps Scraps I do think I tried to make a little mini skirt out of that, but I was trying to make it elastic to make it super fast and elastic and this thick wool or whatever is just not a vibe Um, so I never ended up wearing it ended up being kind of weird actually if I'm being honest, um Okay, so this is just missing the collar. Is that correct collar and a hem? I should finish this it would be so cute with jeans Right, I should finish this Okay It's just so close It's just so close. I'm gonna keep this in this right and then all of these scraps are gonna go in the Clothes that would make me scraps that would make Like I have enough to make dog clothes from okay, so that's gonna let's just put that here Okay, this oh this is the classic example of Fabrication and pattern not a mix. Okay, so I got this really lovely Gosh, I don't even know what type of knit this is some kind of I think I got this from mood also one of my trips to New York it feels amazing. So I'm thinking some kind of like rayon french terry. Yeah It's like a rayon french terry It's so nice and then I was like, you know, he's so cute. Let's put a ruffle on it ruffles are cute on everything Well, guess what happens when you wear it the ruffle Flaps back and then that's what it looks like all the way around same thing on this whole front so the solution is To take The ruffle off Problem is I've got one sleeve on and then no sleeve So if I take the ruffle off I could make it a french terry tank top Is that weird or cute? I could make it If the problem is the fabric is so nice. I don't want to say goodbye to this fabric. So chop off the ruffle Chop off the sleeve unless it shows itself in the rest of this all I have is this Um So chop off the sleeve could I even take? Like if I made it short sleeved And I definitely don't have this in my stash remnants. No Oh This one's hard too The problem is this isn't just something I can just give to goodwill in this state either It's kind of long. I wonder if I could take the half of this sleeve off and then Make a sleeve out of what's left down here and then make it like a cropped short sleeve V-neck It's getting weirder. All right, this is uh The problem the other problem now I'm running into is all the ideas that I'm coming up with I don't like them and so I know if I don't like the idea. I'm not going to Do it. I'm not going to make something that I don't like going in So in my fireplace take it to h&m and have them burn it Um, yeah, this is this is not oh bummer. All right. Well I guess I'll leave this to the side if any of you guys can think of something cute to do with it Let me know otherwise Oof otherwise Yeah, I'm just gonna trash it Because you can't it can't be worn like that, you know, it just it's it can't be So if you have an idea for a one sleeved relatively long like I would say full hip length top with If I take the ruffle off will have somewhat of like a V In the front like a deep V Short sleeve cardigan That's weird Sleeveless cardigan. That's also weird Okay, let me know what ideas you guys have. I'm gonna put this to the side If someone of you come up with a really good idea that inspires me I'll do that. If not, then it's gonna get trashed It's so sad Okay, next we have Oh boy. Okay. I remember this one um I think what happened is I got to this point and then it didn't fit But so it's a it's a top that has this little T back So it is cute, but No But now I'm thinking it is very trendy to have like a little silkish like mini skirt underneath Like a big sweater So I have a gray sweater and this would peek out the bottom as a little mini skirt. That could be cute See now that gets that gets me excited. That's like, oh, yeah, that's gonna be cute So let me take all these pins out now Why do I this is why I ran out of pins and I have to keep buying them? I'll put them here Because it just the neckline wasn't fitting correctly. Um, that little the band Like this part this T part was too long. So I was trying to make that sure But you couldn't try it on I guess until you got to this faced point and so it almost felt like This is already so pretty and now I'm having to like Nip and tuck and do all these things So screw that. All right. So we're just going to chop this off right at where the T strap starts in the back And that's going to be a cute little skirt and I'll just either do a elastic I'll probably definitely do elastic if I'm only ever going to wear this Um with sweaters over the waist anyways Elastic it is. Okay, great Now This okay, so this is A Really cute mock neck ray sweater It doesn't have the sleeves or the hem hemmed Why would this end up there? Was I not wearing it? Is that what was happening? I wasn't wearing it Or maybe the sleeve length felt weird I can see that happening Huh, it's this really soft sweater knit. I think I got it from like Hancock or Joanne. Oh, it might even be french cherry Um, I think it's fine Should I hem it though? I have red thread on my serger currently so that won't work. Oh wouldn't be serger. Anyways, the cover stitch and that's over there Um, yeah, I could just quickly do a little quick hem Yeah, we're gonna we're gonna fix this. This is gonna be fine. Okay, so that's staying Um Okay now Oh gosh, all right, so this Is a both suede wrap over mini skirt Which I had the waistband on rip the waistband off and so now I have A waistband and the bottom half of this skirt zippers installed I need to just try this on again. I did it looks like I also removed the Darts the back darts. So maybe I made it and it was too small But like hello That feels like oh my goods are gonna be out. That is all my goods How is that supposed to work? Where they're supposed, yeah, how is this supposed to work? Oh, that's a separate layer. Okay, okay, okay Okay, I was like What okay, so all of that is the front. I got it now. Yeah, this is definitely worth fixing. That's cute cute cute Okay, so then this Was something I had made Early on in my sewing career. I was so proud of the print mixing. Look at me being all bold But the back was never finished. It's supposed to have like a little keyhole And I never did that because I shortly realized after this that I didn't like keyholes And so I wasn't finishing it. So it's not finished it needs At the very least like a Snap up here Or not a snap but like a hook and I I'm not gonna wear this. That's the other thing. So If I send it to goodwill and someone saw it like this on the hanger and realized that they couldn't snap it closed either Would they keep it moving would it end up in the trash? Should I sew the thing on? I should do that. It would actually even be easier probably for me to do a zipper Okay, this is gonna be a fix To donate Fix to donate Okay Now we have Jean shorts that are Two sizes too big now These need to just go to goodwill Okay, I think I um I did my elastic trick um, there's a video on it on my channel from several years ago about where I take elastic and I Insert it through the back waistband So that's what I had done here and Just need to remove that Or at the very least flatten it out. They hold on here it is Did I sew it in already? Wow, I did Look at me. Okay, so I'm gonna seam rip that and then rip this sucker out There we go. See just elastic. So that'll be reused. That's that's good. And then these will go to goodwill Great next the oh boy. Okay So I was trying to make a jean skirt. You know how you do the thing where you fold the thing over and then you have a skirt out of shorts or pants These were originally code blue um the code bleh B l e u the french way They are One size too big for me now I should finish this This is like cool again And then I would have that little Okay, I'm gonna finish Wow, I thought I was going to be getting rid of a lot more This has ended up being like half and half like give one keep one give one keep one This is the oh no. What is it is the pattern? I have a dress made from it. Um, I put in a little cammy. Why is it hanging? Because I don't like it. Why is it in works? Oh because it doesn't have a hem At the very least this needs to just be pajamas So let's put it in the pajama category and see if I wear it This is a fully realized complete pair of coolots with a fully sewn top except for Arms I and hem and then I was gonna have a set um, yeah This one already has the bias done Or the the arms I done. I don't know if it's bias or not. There's no more extra fabric. So is this hem done? Yes Okay, so this is going in the closet and this is gonna go here Okay, this is embroidered cotton or embroidered chambray from joanne. That's a giant scrap This is Okay, so this looks like it's a dress that the back Oh, this is so cute that the back is um Trying to be like a Backless or at least like a little let me see if I can show you like a little crossover back opening with like elastic here. Can y'all see this coming together? Hold on See the bottom elastic that's supposed to be at your waist and then this is supposed to be Troop-troop Um a little bit hard to see but yeah, that's gonna get finished and then I also have This must be for the arms. I Why did I stop? Why did I stop? I'm guessing I was having trouble fitting the back because my back is actually pretty narrow compared to my Like the circumference of my waist measurement is mostly in the front not in the back There now you can see a lot better. Okay. Um Yeah, that should be Attempted to be finished at the very least chop off the top and keep the skirt part, right? The skirt is so cute Wow, okay. So that's gonna go here. I put those in the the thingamajigs in the pocket and then I have all this scrap That can be made into something cute Next we're getting very close to the end Um, what is this? This is in many many pieces Many many pieces What is this? What is this? I don't know where the top is. I don't know what's happening. Is it a cape? Is it You guys this is strange I don't know what it is. There's these eyelets here And here and there's clearly like strings that we're going to go through the eyelets But like How does the shirt work? Very confusing Very confusing. What is it biscuit? What is this? If these things are supposed to come together here I don't know what this is and this Wait, is it shorts? No Uh-oh, is it this? I don't know what this is guys. I genuinely have no idea But it was supposed to be a refashion of some kind. I can't figure out how it goes I cannot figure out how it goes Dang that's gonna eat me up. Maybe um Those are turned back I I don't know I have no idea. I have no idea and I'm frustrated just looking at it So this is gonna be garbage because I can't even give it to Goodwill if I can't figure it out Nobody else can So that goes there. Okay this Was a cute little top obviously I still have Fully completed except for the sleeves and it has a cute little cross back. So I think the sleeves weren't gonna fit Why didn't I finish this? No, the sleeves totally fit. What's the problem? What's the problem? That's a really cute sleeve neckband done Other sleeve done scrap fabric Can go here. I just need to sew on these sleeves. Is that what you're telling me? Okay. Okay. This is a this is a past Lindsey thing. Okay new Lindsey doesn't do this Maybe maybe maybe what happened is the arm size is too low. Hold on Yes, and so what was I gonna do to fix that? Okay, I bet there's a fitting issue, but listen, we're so close like just make it sleeveless worst-case scenario Just make it sleeveless Yeah, these sleeves were sewn on at one point Um Yeah, for sure. Okay. So I think that it was like when I raised my arm the whole side lifted and so that wasn't that cute So we're just gonna make this sleeveless And it'll be a deep arm side on the side, but sleeveless is fine. It's still super cute, right? Okay, so that goes in the trash. Yay. All right. Finally. Finally. I remember buying this at the thrift store. It's vintage gmonchi See Super cool, right? Um, and I think I was debating on whether or not I could sell this for the true vintage girlies who were like obsessed with with Like Hope Couture fast fashion type of stuff Or if I could make it work for me That is the back it is really beautiful It says it's a 22 w which I don't know if that translates to what it was back in the day to now Yeah, I think I just need to try it on Because I mean that would be stunning with just like a black simple bodysuit long sleeve and then like high black boots Okay, so let me try this one. This one is gonna go into like a try on and probably be fixed I can't I think it's too pretty for me to give it away to anybody else. Okay So that is it folks That is all the works in progress that I had hanging in the closet Notice I did not say that's all the works in progress that I own. That's not true It's not true at all. Um, okay. I'm excited about this. Some of that stuff's really cute. I can't wait right now, but Someone that I can and then I'll have new stuff for the spring and summer Okay, all right. Well, thanks for coming along with me and just listening to you ramble on and my thought process about things I keep or not keep and um I'll see you guys tomorrow Bye. Say bye misket. Say bye to the people Say bye. Say bye to the camera Bye you guys
