I’ve actually just recently started doing upscales on my clothes that are a bit too small or too snug for my comfort. I’ve actually seen online some others doing upscales as well. So your not alone in what you do. Your upscale is a little bold for my taste, but, it works! You can mix patterns as long as both fabrics have the same colors in them. It came out well, thank you for your tutorial on upscales.

My past sewing experience consists of parachute harnesses and canopy repair for a parachute rigger's license. I bought a t-shirt commercially that had a quotation I liked and it was too small. So instead of having another larger t-shirt printed with the same caption I actually bought a singer sewing machine and some red fabric so I could insert a gusset (like your striped blouse) into the shirt I have. The t-shirt and the gusset are all the same solid red so it'll be much easier.

Yes, I love to upsize things that are favs that are too snug! Love both of these ideas. My biggest thing is that i'm 5'2" and have to buy things that are XXL or Plus and they never fit well at all. Sleeves will be too long and the length is often too long and the armpits are to big and show my bra. When I weight 75lbs less, I could shop for clothes easily, but putting on all this extra weight has made clothes shopping a nightmare. Many clothing manufacturers think "petite" means small and cute....well it doesn't! heheh sorry it's just always been so annoying to have so many things fit so poorly. Pants always needing to be hemmed, etc. So yes, I'm totally into fashing resizing and redos.

Definitely keep doing videos lik this! I’ve seen others here and there but since there can be a lot of difference in how it’s done (I would never have thought of that heart insert for instance, so clever!) I’d love to keep finding/watching videos like these. This one was very easy to follow and I love how both turned out! As for your question, yes, I started making my own pj’s in this one style I loved and I can make one with two shirts. The first one I did with interfaces (iron on) and a curved V neckline (like the upper part of the heart shape would be pulled/stretched out like a V but keep it’s curves, is there a name for that one?). I also make summer dresses out of that very thin woven cotton fabric used for baby diapers, tetra fabric, although I don’t know if that is the universal name for it. Easy pattern (more like no pattern really) and awesome to wear. Own design too although it’s simplicity makes me suspect I’m not the first to create it I’m at the beginning of upcycling something now actually. Have this awesome home wear or loungewear 2piece that is 4 to 5 sizes too small. Since I’m not all that fond of pants in this material the choice was easy to make. The sweater/cardigan (can’t com up with the name atm but those with a zipper all the way through) is already cut, wanted to test out whether it would ge doable or not. Very, very challenging as it is with those waistslimming lines that go frome armpit to buste and down with a curved line, in my language it would translate to “princess lines” but I don’t recall hearing that name so elaborate description it is lol) but at least it is in that fluffy microfiber fabric so it might come out beautifully. And if not I will definitely wear it often enough at home that all the hassle, trouble and fiddling will be worth it. I’m cutting into my pants while watching this video. Watching these sort of videos is pleasant entertainment if nothing else while I’m doing my thing but I think I might even learn something or gain more confidence in my skills while I’m busy.

It's a stretch lace so it gave more than enough extra space when the non stretch fabric was cut out behind it.

I like the heart but the same thing could have been done with a much smaller lace gore in the back. It would have saved you some lace that way. I like the length of the black shirt on you as is. Growing up I hated the chore of ironing. But since I started sewing, I now find ironing soothing. There's just something nice about a crisp edge.

With sleeveless tops you need to cut the panel in a triangular shape with the narrower part at the the top ✂️ I did it that way in this tutorial: kzread.info/dash/bejne/l3uAl9ODlrnAcZs.htmlsi=dhuCZYysTEqd2BVG

😊

I have a top that needs upsizing and I really like the second method shown in this video. The thing is I need more fabric at the top than the bottom. Do I just make the bottom part of the rectangle narrower at the bottom or do I need to find a different method of upsizing?

You are exactly right 😊 simply make the bottom narrower, I've used triangular shapes to upsize many times 👍

Just wondering why you don't sew the teatowel sewed line onto the sewing line of the shirt rather than having that part up against the skin.

It was a flat interior seam centered on the panel so it worked out great.

Not a fan of ironing 😅 but it does make for great seams x

🙃 it's so annoying but so very true! 🤣

You asked for it! I have a pair of hot pink child's size snow pants with a bib on them that I need to be a few inches wider from the waist to the mid leg. They are way too tight in the hips! I opened them up and was going to insert a long triangle piece of fabric of duck cloth. they are supposed to be waterproof and wind proof. I am also stumped by the bib. the upper part is fine. I don't want to enlarge that part. I kinda wanted to keep the upper bib part of these snowpants. They have 3 layers and 1 is fiberfill stuff. its really daunting. im not a great sewist yet i know basic stuff. what do you suggest? can you do a tutorial on this?

hmmm...I wouldn't actually attempt to upsize thick winter wear as it would destroy my poor old machine & thrift/charity shops are full of awesome winter gear at this time of year😂⛄that said, adding the triangular inserts to widen the top of the pants is absolutely the way to go 🧵 If the upper part of the bib is fine I'm not understanding what the issue is as widening the sides of the pants shouldn't affect the bib at all. If you want to lengthen the bib then I would suggest removing it where it connects to the pants (I'm guessing at the waist area - snow pants come in many different styles so I'm not sure) and then simply add a strip of fabric to the bottom of the bib and reattach it. 😊♻️✂️

Love this video and your laughing attitude😍. I have a question. My too has long sleeves so do I cut all the way to the end of the sleeves to the wrists? Sorry if that is a stupid question but I am not an expert at sewing. I need to fix this Halloween too that sadly doesn’t fit me anymore 😭😭😭

@RefashionistaSheri

Not at all a stupid question (I'm not an expert either, I just have a huge refashionista imagination 😆). If the sleeves are also too tight then you can indeed chop all the way through the side & sleeve seams & then add the inserts. I have these tutorials showing 2 different methods to upsize tops: bit.ly/3DcKRUO & the beginning of this one: kzread.info/dash/bejne/omqcxMSaddHWdMY.html (I also have an upsizing tutorial index over on my site too: bit.ly/3NbqJa4)

It depends on which tutorial you use. The links I shared in my previous reply show you exactly how to do it step by step. 👍

I hate stopping and ironing when I'm sewing. I actually like to iron but when I'm sewing it feels like it interrupts my flow. I make myself do it because it makes a huge difference in the final result.

why did you double the size panel? wasn't it much heavier than the rest of the shirt?

@RefashionistaSheri

Not at all. The fabric panel was a very light linen so it needed to be thickened up to match the weight of the polycotton blend shirt 😊

Doesn’t it make the sleeve too large?

@RefashionistaSheri

I'm guessing that you're asking about the short sleeved striped blouse with the side inserts? As the entire blouse was too tight, including the sleeves, I needed to add side panels all the way down the sides. If the sleeves are not too tight you can simply add the panels to the sides & the areas that need them. I've shared tons of upsizing DIYs on my blog too, here's another way to upsize a blouse: bit.ly/3IfQW78

Shorten the top

I think you shouldn't cut the curved tail on your shirt as it can show off the crutch area of your jeans of leggings as it can look baggy and gaping; not to appealing. That's my opinion.
