Hey friends! Welcome to episode 2 of my series:
You don't need Shein, you just need a sewing machine.
I thrifted an old queen size duvet sheet set and turned it into the whimsical, fairy skirt of my dreams!
This project is beginner friendly and only requires a few materials:
fabric
thread
sewing machine
elastic
I'm on a mission to learn how to make my own clothes, all while taking inspiration from fast fashion trends! But in 2025, I am saying goodbye to fast fashion, and hello to thrifted and upcycled clothes.
My goal with this video is to encourage you to pick up a new craft, get creative, and feel inspired to tackle creating your own wardrobe!
I am a curvy girl, and I have endlessly fallen victim to clothes NOT fitting. This DIY is curvy girl friendly!!

About me:
My aesthetic is mostly granola girl, whimsical fairy, eclectic, and grandma chic. I try to be as eco-conscious and sustainable as possible. I love thrifting, thrift flips, DIY's, and traveling. I value less consumption and more creation on this channel :)
