THRIFT FLIP Restyling & Combining Thrifted Clothes
Here is another THRIFT FLIP.
Many simple items changing and evolving before your eyes.
Not the most complicated changes but I think these simple ideas are very valuable if You are up for a simple wardrobe flip or a fun sewing session.
For me the magic happens when You combine the colours well. Some things just match well.
I filmed the entire process of cutting clothes and making the decisions, choosing the combinations and then sewing it together.
Even some old scraps of old shirts became something different and new.
I hope You have fun watching this!
Love & Peace!
The crafty hippie homemaker!

Thank You for this comment! I had a feeling that's the case. I grew up in England and while living in HK and Canada experience this all the time. I thought I was going crazy thinking textiles is the word 😂 I guess I can use both. Textiles and Fabrics as a general term 😊
I like the plaid on the t-shirt.

Thank You ❤ I heard someone say materials the other day too... you are right... casual language can vary .. and we all understand 😊
I think textiles is a broad term that can include many types of materials, fabrics, trims, paddings etc

Yes that is what I thought too. Majority of people prefer fabrics for clothing. I am so used to saying textiles, but have been criticized for that. thanks You for the comment.
wow you did a great job! not just cropped and sewed things but put an actual styling to everything.

Thank You ❤ I am starting to believe is that in england common general word is Textiles and US fabrics. Both not wrong ❤ 😊 just like trunk and thd boot
I am amazed that you dont put the items on before you cut anything! 😮 when I do these thrift flips / upcycles I am constantly putting it on + off while working on it.

I just go with it. With practice you just know where to cut. I don't like to rely on measuring.
I am amazed you cut without measuring it in your body first for length.

Thank You! Ha! Yes I happen to do things with my own flow... I am very basic with my tools and your eye gets used to it and becomes natural. Fir the upcycled that I do I like to be quick and simple :) 😊
I would leave the brown vintage Tshirt the way it is that way you can style it many different ways, with different bottoms..

Seams that for clothing Fabric is the word. :)
If you fold the tee shirts in half to cut, it makes an even cut.

That helps for sure. some old Ts are a little stretched and uneven so sometimes it does not align evenly.
‘Fabric usually refers to items that are designed for clothing - like shirts, trousers, etc. - Textiles can be made into clothes, but they can also be used for other things like bed sheets, carpets, etc. - Fabric is made through weaving, sewing or stitching techniques, whereas textiles are only made from woven fibers.”…….. google definition ❤️

Thank You very much. I did Google it, and it was very specific descriptions just as you mentioned. My main confusion is in daily general language. When I have a pile of thrifted clothes, table cloths , curtains ...and they all vary and theres no way to be precise ... general term is textiles fabrics or materials. It seams everyone thinks it's different. Also depends on the country too.

@@hippiecrowhub, most people would probably think of textiles in an industry/manufacturing association; where they would produce materials/fabrics for the consumer. Also, you’re the first person I’ve heard use the term ‘textile’ on a sewing channel. No judgment ❤️; but, I think you can’t go wrong saying, ‘fabric’ or ‘material’.

I am no expert but I think textiles is what you put on stuffed furniture? Upholstery?? Or on drapes maybe ??

Thank You. I am training my brain to say fabric instead of textile... Once in awhile i catch myself with an old habit :)
I think you were looking for the word "texture" of the fabric and textiles n regards to the gingham dress?

Maybe 😊 I find myself say random words in random places... brain farts 😂 Generally I am trying to figure out what is a correct general word for material that we use when we sew. At the moment most logical explanation is that England uses textiles and US fabrics. I am used to saying textiles but u was told I am very wrong and I must stop saying that as it is fabrics 😅 but I have a feeling that both words are not wrong.
Textiles is wool men's old fashioned suit fabric
