Dialogue: 0,0:00:12.01,0:00:16.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Hello and welcome to Get Thready With Me episode\N#7. Now I am *so* excited about today's project.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:16.43,0:00:20.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Even though more than half of my audience\Nare in summer at the moment, it is winter
Dialogue: 0,0:00:20.25,0:00:23.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,here in Australia, so if this isn't one that\Nyou can do at the moment, then just save it
Dialogue: 0,0:00:23.63,0:00:26.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,away for autumn or winter - because I promise,\Nit is so worth it.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:26.50,0:00:29.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I'm going to shut up now, and let's get\Nstarted.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:29.29,0:00:33.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Okay, so I thrifted this AMAZING sweater a\Ncouple of months ago. But, it’s a little
Dialogue: 0,0:00:33.62,0:00:38.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,bit too small, so unfortunately I never wear\Nit. But the dog print is just adorable, so
Dialogue: 0,0:00:38.55,0:00:41.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I thought that I would try and turn it into\Nsomething wearable!
Dialogue: 0,0:00:41.47,0:00:43.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So the first thing I did was turn the sweater\Ninside out.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:43.91,0:00:47.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I put a bunch of pins through both layers\Nto hold them together, and then decided on
Dialogue: 0,0:00:47.65,0:00:51.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the shape of my skirt.\NMy waist measurement is 30 inches, but because
Dialogue: 0,0:00:51.75,0:00:55.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this material STRETCHES, I’m going to take\N2 inches off that measurement.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:55.65,0:00:59.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I’m also going to allow a bit more room\Nacross here for my hips and butt.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:59.59,0:01:04.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I’m going to draw something like this\Nin pen onto my inside-out sweater.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:04.09,0:01:08.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Of course, if you’re using a more oversized\Nsweater, then you’d draw something like
Dialogue: 0,0:01:08.29,0:01:09.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this instead.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:09.45,0:01:14.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, I’m going to use my overlocker to both\Ncut and sew the sides of the skirt at the same time.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:15.09,0:01:19.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I’m going to run my overlocker down both\Nthe sides of the sweater like this.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:19.35,0:01:23.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So first, I’ve set my overlocker's differential\Nfeed to its highest (positive) setting, so
Dialogue: 0,0:01:23.39,0:01:26.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that it'll get a waver-free seam. This will\Njust mean that hopefully, the seam will be
Dialogue: 0,0:01:26.82,0:01:29.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as flat as possible. And then, I sew.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:35.02,0:01:38.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And, that’s a pretty alright seam! I’m\Npretty happy with that!
Dialogue: 0,0:01:38.51,0:01:46.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Okay, so now I’ve done this on both sides,\NI’m going to cut all along this line, through both layers of the sweater.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:48.60,0:01:50.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then I turned it the right way around again.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:50.99,0:01:55.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, for my waistband I am using this navy\Nblue ribbed jersey material – but any kind
Dialogue: 0,0:01:55.30,0:01:58.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of jersey material, or even an old t-shirt,\Nshould do.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:58.20,0:02:03.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, I folded this fabric in half. I then stuck\Nsome pins in it to keep the two layers sandwiched
Dialogue: 0,0:02:03.01,0:02:08.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,together in place. I then measured a rectangle\Nthat’s 5 inches by 14 inches, and then cut
Dialogue: 0,0:02:08.48,0:02:12.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this rectangle out, on the fold. Which I then\Nunfold, and so I have this strip, which is
Dialogue: 0,0:02:12.62,0:02:14.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,28 inches by 5 inches.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:14.89,0:02:20.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So then I place this waistband fabric down\Nonto the front of my skirt like this. And
Dialogue: 0,0:02:20.20,0:02:25.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,then I start putting in pins, pinning this\Nbit of fabric onto my skirt all the way around.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:30.74,0:02:35.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Once I’ve pinned it on all the way around,\NI join the two ends of the waistband together like this.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:38.57,0:02:43.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then, I’m going to sew the waistband\Nto the skirt. So because I have an overlocker,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:43.81,0:02:48.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I’m going to first sew the waistband in\Nplace using a very long straight stitch – also
Dialogue: 0,0:02:48.09,0:02:56.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,called a “basting” stitch.\NThen, I removed all the pins, and use my overlocker to again sew all the way around.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:59.03,0:03:03.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The next step was to measure a piece of elastic.\NThe elastic I got is 1 and a half inches wide.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:03.42,0:03:07.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I wrapped a piece of elastic comfortably around\Nmy waist, and then pulled it just *slightly*
Dialogue: 0,0:03:07.88,0:03:10.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,tighter, to measure the correct length.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:10.57,0:03:15.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then, I unfolded the waistband, and again\Nturned everything inside out.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:15.80,0:03:21.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then, with the waistband material, I folded\Nit down, in half so that the raw edge lay
Dialogue: 0,0:03:21.05,0:03:23.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,just on top of the seam that I made when I\Nattached the waistband.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:28.74,0:03:33.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then, I started putting in pins to hold it all together!
Dialogue: 0,0:03:33.14,0:03:38.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, I’m going to sew across this, to make\Na kind of tube out of the waistband, attached
Dialogue: 0,0:03:38.58,0:03:42.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,all the way around the skirt. I'm going to\Nuse zig zag stitch, but I’m also going to
Dialogue: 0,0:03:42.69,0:03:47.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,leave a small gap, because that’s where\NI’m going to insert my elastic later on.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:47.63,0:03:54.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, with that done, I put a safety pin in\Nthe end of my elastic to help guide it through
Dialogue: 0,0:03:54.38,0:03:58.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the tube, inserted it through the hole in\Nthe waistband, and threaded it through the
Dialogue: 0,0:03:58.94,0:04:05.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,skirt until it came out the other end, and\Nthen I sewed the two ends of elastic together
Dialogue: 0,0:04:05.25,0:04:06.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,like this.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:06.17,0:04:11.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then I popped the elastic back through the\Nhole, and sewed over the top to close it up,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:11.92,0:04:14.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and, I’m done!
Dialogue: 0,0:04:16.78,0:04:19.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[music plays]
Dialogue: 0,0:04:31.18,0:04:36.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,How easy was that!? I'm now planning to visit\Nthe thrift shop and get myself as many oversized
Dialogue: 0,0:04:36.20,0:04:39.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,kitschy jumpers as possible, and turn them\Nall into super cute pencil skirts.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:39.52,0:04:41.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's going to be amazing.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:41.24,0:04:45.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Thank you all so much for watching! Don't\Nforget to check out my last episode, episode
Dialogue: 0,0:04:45.29,0:04:48.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,#6, and I'll see you all for my very next\Nvideo. Bye!
