Basically, I want to run out of the house right now, go to the thrift store and make all the things!
I would have to go thrift jeans to cut the jeans. I don't think I have the heart to cut any of the jeans that I have. So impressive. Oh my goodness the styles. You are gold..

Angelina, your talent is limitless and inspiring! I made a patchwork denim jacket based on your Cardi B Halloween tutorial. Not quite as dramatic as yours (or hers) but it looks really cool 😎 Your tutorials are always easy to follow and - again - an inspiration for me to try something that normally I wouldn't think I could do. Thank you for 10 years of fashion, creativity and joy!

I have been going nutz trying to find denims that work with a steampunk style, and you have really popped the lid off the creative possibilities, thank you! Also, I am a second-generation hippie, and I am so glad to see HAND-embroidered jeans happening at all! Way to go!
WOW!! You've been doing this 10 years, and I'm just seeing the 1st time on 2/24/2023! I LOVE that wrap skirt! My Pops showed me how to make bell bottoms! He was the costume designer for his band in the 70s! New to me, yet nostalgic! Thanks!💖💖

Thank you so much! Welcome to the BlueprintDIY family! 🤗
if people aren't scrapping in your inbox for custom pieces then something is wrong with the algorithm lololl. You're so inspiring, hard working, consistent, and talented. Thank you for sharing your work and talents with us and encouraging our inner creators! I subscribed to your channel cause your content was original and inviting. You did more than just dupe; you are constantly designing and as a designer in a different field it has been very inspiring and fun to watch. Your channel reminds me of my mother (who's passed) who did this all the time. I can relate to how much your daughter must be flexin about her one of a kind designer items loll and how proud she is of her mama.☺ ( I flexed all the time and still do! loll I get so many compliments on hats my mom knitted for me. I treasure those items so much ) I truly thank you for creating and hope you've had an amazing start to your year!

This is such a great recap!!!!! I’ve started holding on to my jeans to do something with them! I always knew I could do something with them but my living situation has caused me to cut down on how much sewing I do. That should change next year and I look forward to just sitting with my scraps and old garments to create them into something new! ❤

I luuuuuv all of these looks. I absolutely love denim.
I am so excited about all of the jean upcycle ideas you have, but mostly love the last handful or so!!! Thinking about how to be a bit more modest this summer, but unsure how not to look old and frumpy, while not suffocating in 3/4 jeans all summer. I found the answers in your video!!😍😁🥰By widening the legs with the skirt, or track pants...🤯 I love, love, love these ideas!!! I am looking forward to trying these out, while adding a touch of my personal style to them...I can't thank you enough, seriously!! About 30-some years ago, I was attending a VoTech school in my area for Commercial and Graphic Art Design. My teacher complimented my lack of fear for putting my pencil to paper. He said, "It's incredible how a young lady could make such bold statements so effortlessly." I forward this compliment to you. This is exactly what came to mind while watching...you have such a beautiful gift for fashion creativity. It's awe-inspiring!!!💖💯 💪🏽🧠💖💯🙏🏽🕊️💖💯♾️ Thank you so much!! I greatly appreciate you, and your lovely daughter, for sharing these inspirational ideas with us all!!! Looking forward to being super fly.😅😂☺️💃✨ 🙏🏽🕊️☮️💖🌞💯♾️ P.S. And the elastic waist ideas...🤯so many great ideas. So many great ideas!!!💖💯♾️

I think my favorite of these is the one leg ruffle-side jeans. So cute! I also like the ones where you added the snaps on the sides or the fronts.
♡ the split leg snap pair! 😎 I thought it was a skirt 😁👖
I love the jeans with the fringe and the pair with the ruffle on one side.
Sis, I can’t sew a button on nor cut in a straight line ( so likely won’t be able to replicate any of your breath taking pieces); I had to subscribe after watching only 1 video simply because you’re awesome beyond words. I will be stalking and hatin’ at the very same time😊. The talent -I’m speechless!
