There are 2 types of people. For the first group, it’s easier to throw out something old and buy something new, while the second group prefers to remake an old item or make new clothes with their own hands. And it’s not that the former are lazy and the latter are creative. They just love to work with their hands and are always full of ideas for new outfits.
At Bright Side, we admire self-made clothing masterpieces and we want you to see them too.
“The upper skirt is made of semi-wool with embroidery. The lower one is made of gabardine and the 2 ruffles are made of taffeta. The skirt happened to be quite heavy, so I had to strengthen the belt and sew on additional buttons.”
“So, I found this loop scarf which I never wore. But I thought the fabric was pretty, so I thought I‘d make something out of it. I‘m not very experienced, but somehow I made it work. First I sewed the top part (just a tube) and then I somehow managed to cut out an acceptable pattern for the skirt. This was a little hard because there wasn‘t so much fabric left. After attaching the skirt part to the top part, I attached 2 straps and that’s about it. Also, I sewed everything by hand because I‘m terrified of our sewing machine and don’t know how to use it.”
“I designed, sketched, and made this dress. My grandma was a great help the whole way through, but I picked all the fabrics, flowers, etc. I arranged the flowers and the lights inside the tulle. It’s quite heavy, and weighs around 10 pounds.”
“The creation of the dress took a few months, I worked on it in between school and work, whenever I had a spare moment.”
“This dress has 2 layers. The top layer is made of translucent checked organza that is supported by thick cotton. Even though the dress seems light and airy, it’s quite heavy, and the cotton is so dense that if you add another layer to the bodice, it will successfully work as body armor.”
“Grid lines are done by machine, and the rest by hand.”
“It’s my first crack at a jacket and the first real wearable garment I’ve made for myself! I drafted the pattern myself using a jacket I own as a reference.”
