125 00:06:03,249 --> 00:06:07,909 So as you can see, these child-size tights DO fit around my legs but they are not nearly 126 00:06:07,909 --> 00:06:08,930 long enough for me. 127 00:06:08,930 --> 00:06:12,050 So I’m going to turn them into knee-high socks instead. 128 00:06:12,050 --> 00:06:16,740 So I snipped the waist and the gusset part off, leaving me with two little sockies. 129 00:06:16,740 --> 00:06:17,680 And that’s it. 130 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:18,280 … 131 00:06:18,380 --> 00:06:21,119 NAH I’m kidding, what kind of tutorial would that be?! 132 00:06:21,119 --> 00:06:25,009 Now the problem with just snipping them like this, and leaving it there, is that the socks 133 00:06:25,009 --> 00:06:26,569 will constantly fall down. 134 00:06:26,569 --> 00:06:28,210 They're not tight enough around the top. 135 00:06:28,210 --> 00:06:31,380 So what I need to do is add elastic around the top of the socks. 136 00:06:31,380 --> 00:06:35,419 So I put one of the socks on to see where it went up to on my leg, and then I grabbed 137 00:06:35,419 --> 00:06:39,289 a 1 inch wide piece of elastic and I wrapped it around this part of my leg. 138 00:06:39,289 --> 00:06:43,240 Then I pulled the elastic a little bit tight – not so tight that it was uncomfortable, 139 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:47,659 but just so that it fit snugly – and then I cut the elastic to this length. 140 00:06:47,659 --> 00:06:51,779 And using this piece, I cut another piece of elastic that’s identical in length, because 141 00:06:51,779 --> 00:06:53,059 I'm making 2 socks. 142 00:06:53,059 --> 00:06:56,979 For both pieces of elastic, I folded them into a loop like this, and next I’m going 143 00:06:56,979 --> 00:07:01,710 to sew a zig-zag stitch over the elastic ends, connecting the loop up permanently. 144 00:07:01,710 --> 00:07:04,860 And I went back and forth with my zig zag a couple of times to make sure that the ends 145 00:07:04,860 --> 00:07:06,759 were connected super strongly. 146 00:07:06,759 --> 00:07:12,259 Then I turned one sock inside out… except when I did this, I was like: Oh my gosh, the 147 00:07:12,259 --> 00:07:17,279 rainbow on the inside of the sock is this really nice pastel colour, and I like it even 148 00:07:17,279 --> 00:07:20,939 better than the brighter, more vibrant rainbow on the right-side of the socks. 149 00:07:20,939 --> 00:07:26,659 So, I then decided to make the inside-pattern of the socks the new OUTSIDE pattern, so that 150 00:07:26,659 --> 00:07:29,740 I would have PASTEL rainbow socks when I'm finished instead! 151 00:07:29,740 --> 00:07:33,849 So, this is a little bit confusing, but this pastel coloured inside is the new OUTSIDE, 152 00:07:33,849 --> 00:07:36,409 the new "right side" of the socks. 153 00:07:36,409 --> 00:07:40,559 And the vibrant side is the new INSIDE, the new "wrong side" of the socks. 154 00:07:40,559 --> 00:07:44,870 SO, with the socks INSIDE OUT (and this is the new inside-out), I popped the circular 155 00:07:44,870 --> 00:07:49,490 piece of elastic over the top, and I’m going to sew the elastic on all the way around the 156 00:07:49,490 --> 00:07:52,040 outside with a zig-zag stitch, like this. 157 00:07:53,140 --> 00:07:57,260 Singing: Sewing around the top of the sock, doop de doop de doop. 158 00:07:57,270 --> 00:08:01,379 While sewing, I stretched the sock and the elastic so that they would become the same 159 00:08:01,379 --> 00:08:04,300 length and match up all the way around the top of the sock. 160 00:08:04,300 --> 00:08:08,819 Now if you’re not confident with sewing stretchy materials, and just eyeballing this, 161 00:08:08,819 --> 00:08:13,309 then you can use the pinning-and-quartering-method to do this, and I will pop a link of an example 162 00:08:13,309 --> 00:08:14,699 for that in the description. 163 00:08:14,699 --> 00:08:18,831 To finish it off and make it look nice, I flipped the elastic down one more time, like 164 00:08:18,831 --> 00:08:19,831 this. 165 00:08:19,831 --> 00:08:22,560 And next I am going to sew a zig-zag stitch across here. 166 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,849 However, I found it easier to sew this part if I turned the sock the RIGHT way around 167 00:08:26,849 --> 00:08:29,740 first, and then sew over the top of the elastic just by feel. 168 00:08:30,020 --> 00:08:31,180 [music] 169 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:39,099 Singing, again: Sewing on around the top of the sock, doop de doop de doo, doop de doop 170 00:08:39,099 --> 00:08:40,099 de doop. 171 00:08:40,099 --> 00:08:41,510 And now, these socks are done!

181 00:09:35,230 --> 00:09:39,810 …I’m not really sure what this video is anymore, it’s turned into part vlog, part 182 00:09:39,810 --> 00:09:43,860 fail, part tutorial and part lookbook, but I hope you’re enjoying it nonetheless! 183 00:09:43,860 --> 00:09:48,259 For these pink checkered thigh-high socks, I styled them with a pink top and a pinafore 184 00:09:48,259 --> 00:09:49,259 dress. 185 00:09:49,259 --> 00:09:51,630 I then wore an oversized denim jacket over the top of this. 186 00:09:51,630 --> 00:09:54,560 Oh, and everything else that I’m wearing here is thrifted, of course! 187 00:09:54,560 --> 00:10:00,290 So don’t ask me where these pieces are from 'coz I’ll be like, uhhh, they’re secondhand! 188 00:10:00,290 --> 00:10:03,620 Maybe go visit your local thrift store to try and find something similar! 189 00:10:03,620 --> 00:10:08,910 For the rainbow socks, I basically wanted to turn myself into a walking human rainbow, 190 00:10:08,910 --> 00:10:13,610 so I paired it with this multi-coloured, very bright windbreaker that I recently got from 191 00:10:13,610 --> 00:10:16,370 Depop, and some brightly-coloured shoes. 192 00:10:16,370 --> 00:10:21,740 I stuck to, uh, lighter, more muted colours for my top and shorts, so that the socks and 193 00:10:21,740 --> 00:10:26,470 jacket would remain the eye-catching pieces of this outfit and I wouldn’t totally overdo 194 00:10:26,470 --> 00:10:30,690 it with the colours, because these are pretty strong statement pieces on their own. 195 00:10:30,690 --> 00:10:34,160 Now as you probably noticed in my previous outfits, I like to match the colour of my 196 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:35,649 socks to the colour of my top. 197 00:10:35,649 --> 00:10:40,061 Then, if I wear something that’s got a pattern all over it, like this polka dot romper, I 198 00:10:40,061 --> 00:10:44,339 think that the matching colour of the top and the socks pulls the outfit together really 199 00:10:44,339 --> 00:10:45,339 nicely. 200 00:10:45,339 --> 00:10:48,920 Generally, when choosing a pair of socks, I try and pair them to another colour that's 201 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:50,350 already in my outfit. 202 00:10:50,350 --> 00:10:54,529 And finally, these floral socks were also a child-sized pair of tights that I wanted 203 00:10:54,529 --> 00:10:57,120 to upcycle into knee-high socks because... daisies. 204 00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:58,850 Daisies are cute. 205 00:10:58,850 --> 00:11:05,209 I paired them with this cute courdroy dress layered over a white top, and a beret, because… 206 00:11:05,209 --> 00:11:06,639 berets are also cute. 207 00:11:06,639 --> 00:11:12,100 Alright, so that’s one way to upcycle tights –and I really like how it turned out! 208 00:11:12,100 --> 00:11:17,389 Obviously, most of you won’t have inherited 3 suitcases full of tights, but it’s also 209 00:11:17,389 --> 00:11:22,850 a really good way to upcycle old tights that have a small ladder, or some holes, or some 210 00:11:22,850 --> 00:11:27,200 wear, or if you find tights too uncomfortable around your tummy like I do. 211 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:28,350 So, I hope that some of you found this helpful! 212 00:11:28,350 --> 00:11:30,769 And as for the remainder of these tights… well – 213 00:11:30,769 --> 00:11:34,880 I will keep some for myself, I'm going to turn more into socks, gunna give some more 214 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:39,149 to friends, butttt I think most of them are probably going to make their way to charity 215 00:11:39,149 --> 00:11:40,149 stores. 216 00:11:40,149 --> 00:11:43,870 BUT if you guys have any other ideas of how to upcycle tights, that isn’t a totally 217 00:11:43,870 --> 00:11:48,560 impractical and uncomfortable crop top, I'd love to hear them!
