Hey everyone!
Hey everyone it's Wendy and I have a special guest. Do you know her? It's Nava Rose!
If you don't know Nava Rose now you do she does amazing sewing tutorials on YouTube. Very cute
fashion. Giving you all sorts of BTS fangirl action as well
Wendy's a new BTS army
I've been abducted, rapid fire
My little brother who's actually a fan will be like what no,
We're doing a challenge today. We're starting with the same thing and then you're going to see our different styles
Nava Rose. She's got her matching sets, she's got her tight fits
She's got.. I don't get the adjective you use is crazy.
but there's like insta bady. Yes. That's like a safe term
I don't know what kind of audience.
Anyway, she looks good and fierce
and I'm gonna just be doing my like comfy cozy
Canadian look because it is gonna start being cold where I live so
[Sad music :*( ]
So we're both starting with IKEA
Blanket we went to Ikea we both picked out our blankets 5 6 7 8. Oh
Yeah, it's a pink blanket so cute
I feel like it's definitely a throw blanket cuz it's very thick and fringy. Yeah some fringy
So I might use the fringeys somehow and mine is also fringy. It is Ofelia
Come on Ofelia. Thick and plush, hopefully will make me into a super huggable person. We are gonna start sewing
Mm-hmm
and you will get to see me transform this on this channel and then if you want to see her rendition of
The IKEA throw blanket transformation. You can check it out there.
Obviously, if you want to try this, you don't have to buy a brand new blanket
Yeah, probably already have more than enough throw blankets at home. And then lastly the only thing I want to address
This is one thing that is like not really thought about as like a DIYer going to collab
Yeah, I'm like, oh I need a sewing machine. So we're gonna unbox with you
Nava's...
Grandma's yeah
May she give us the sewing powers
[wand noise]
WOAH! It's a Singer
Stick around until the end. I hope you enjoy. Yay!
Okay, we had a lot of giggles to get out because it was our first time filming together
But here is the material that I'm working with. It is the IKEA throw blanket called Ofelia
It is white, fluffy. So I'm hoping it can make something real cute and cozy
Honestly, it felt like we were two kids hanging out doing arts and crafts
I definitely did a lot of this growing up and it was kind of cute to do it as an adult
To make the sweater symmetrical. I folded the sweater in half down the middle and lined that up with the folded fabric
That way I only need to cut out one half and when I unfold it, it's the entire thing
I am skipping the sleeves so that I can make this a drop shoulder sweater
So from the side of the body
We practically just keep going straight up to the shoulder point and then follow the sweater all the way back to the neck hole
We're gonna do that again for the back. Also a symmetrical piece
so folding the sweater in half and folding the fabric in half.
Finally for the sleeves you will need one for each arm. And then these pieces should be symmetrical to each other
So I flip the sleeve over to capture the front and the back of it and I cut that through two layers
So that it is both sleeves done symmetrical to each other.
Now is the first time I get to try out Navas auntie's old singer machine.
This came in clutch, it was perfect
I had to do a little bit of fabric wrestling but was mostly able to get it through and honestly
It is a bit gratifying whenever you're able to use whatever sewing machine you're given because the mechanics of them are generally quite similar
I sewed the shoulders right sides together and now I'm bringing over the sleeve so I can sew them right sides together with the arm holes
Obviously you're going to need to do that for both of the sleeves and will create a poncho
Version of your sweater since the bottom is completely unfinished
It will also create a giant mess of fluff
If you are using a material like mine
If you look closely you may catch Navas robot vacuum behind me with everything right sides together on the ground
I line up the sleeves and the sides and then sew these with a straight stitch
as always
Starting in the armpit going down the sleeve and then back to the armpit and go down to the body and try not to drown
in the fluff
Time to try it on, and never let this shirt be black again.
There's gonna be much so much lint
Okay, I said time to try it on but I'm not done yet I still wanted to add these sleeve things
I'm hot already. Okay. I need to make the neck hole a little bit smaller
This is the band that was holding the blanket when I purchased it
And I think what I need to do is utilize its firm structure in juxtaposition to the stretchiness of this.
I'm gonna use it to line the neck hole in the front so that it stays locked
So I'm just gonna fold over and hem these edges to finish them off
And then sew it to the front
Here it is, I have sewn this edge to
the rim of the front collar
So that I can flip it over and sew it down and it is providing stability. Cause see here.
This is just chaotic
and we just need
We need that stable friend, you know the rock. May it be this band
Adding that extra band of stability actually worked really well
So here's me cutting out a couple more pieces so that I could also do it along the back of the neck hole
Sun is setting we've come out here to
Shoot you our looks
Nava's getting her ~fancy cam~
Thankfully not as hot as it was earlier
Honestly ya
I would have died. Although oil blotting sheets in the world would not have saved me
~Jazzy music~
Like so, like I take up so much space
Thank you so much for watching. I hope you enjoyed the transformation that we did in
3 hours? I don't know, what time is it?
Yeah, like 3-4 hours. Incredible!
Wow, fastest tutorial ever
I know actually I'm kinda shaken by this whole thing
If you want to see how it Nava' s turned out
I'll put the link in the description for you. It is definitely super quick in style. But so great.
