    I just knew I was saving all that lace and linens for something extraordinary but never took the time to seriously pursue it. Now it's spring and time to begin!

  • Tracy, I'm impressed the way you can make an ugly Jane into a beautiful piece of art.this dress looks great allready.
  • I wonder how many granny's and crocheters are turning in their graves to see these old things get cut and shredded..☺️🀭🀣!?! So cool to see the process. Again, gorgeous work. You have such a soothing teaching voice. Great instructions etc. I can't help but notice your beautiful skin and tan too!! Is that self tanner?? Whatever it is it looks great. I love purple. The shade came out perfect. I dyed a white wedding dress to make a Halloween costume and had to learn the difference between dying polyester and the different fabrics. I'd never dyed anything before and had to use the rite dye for poly. It did turn out in the end. I did all of that in large pots and plastic bins with boiling water. It was a huge project. Thank you again for being so kind as to walk us through all of the steps!!

    You’re gorgeous and totally the queen of up cycling!
  • I use to date a WWE professional wrestler, Shawn Michaels back in, 1987-1999. I use to make my own outfits. And a lot of my outfits looked like the ones you make. I have learned a lot of stuff from you. I even had the seamstress from the WWE ask me were I got my outfits. They were surprised to learn that I had made them myself. So thanks for the great ideas . I don't date Shawn anymore. But I still like making my own outfits.

    I've been sewing since 1970 and have had my share of frustrations with patterns and precise intention. After viewing your skills, I feel free to explore, experiment and have fun with my sewing projects! This is exactly my style and I just never thought of free form sewing before so THANK YOU! I like working on multiple projects at the same time - where one trim goes another might not and it's like working on a puzzle that is very therapeutic! I love your channel!
  • I watched this before and was way overwhelmed the first time. I thought oh ya right I could never make that but then second time around it wasn’t so scary. I just love you and appreciate you so much in what you do with sharing your god giving talent with us. Tracy, thank you so much and please never stop because you inspire me so much and I need that. Thank you ~Leanna Jewels
