Some good ideas but the sewing techniques shown were not very good. For example, more than one tiny mark is needed before cutting off the bottom of a dress to make it shorter. Hem should be measured to make sure it is straight and even. Sewing over pins can cause a machine needle to bend or break.

It would be nice if the upcycled pieces where modeled or put on a dress form to really see what the looked like.
