Making My Own Nostalgic Clothes | 2026 Upcycling Plans

I started sewing just over a year ago with the help of my mum… and now I can’t stop seeing potential projects everywhere 👗✨ In this video I’m sharing my 2026 upcycling sewing plans, including some of the nostalgic fabrics and second-hand finds I’ve been collecting over the last few months. From turning Disney duvets into dresses, to transforming a sleeping bag into a puffer coat, plus curtains, fabric finds and a few dream projects I’d love to make this year. I love upcycling because it means creating clothes that feel completely me — things I could never find in the shops — while giving beautiful fabrics a second life. Projects mentioned in this video: ✨ Turning vintage Disney duvet covers into dresses ✨ Making a puffer coat from a sleeping bag ✨ Upcycling curtains into a dress and jacket set ✨ Sewing leggings and shorts from new fabric ✨ A wishlist project I’d love to attempt in 2026 If you enjoy nostalgic finds, Disney collecting, thrifting and upcycling, cosy creative hobbies and beginner sewing journeys, then you’ll probably feel right at home here 💛 Creators mentioned: Rope Drop Design: https://shopropedropdesign.com/ Suzy Sankey Studio:   / suzysankeystudio   ⏱️TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Disney projects sneak peek 00:14 I only started sewing a year ago 00:39 Why did I start sewing? 01:27 Sewing my own leggings 02:37 Disney upcycled dresses 03:41 Pocahontas duvet dress 90s 04:29 Sewing pattern I'm using Know Me 05:35 Vintage Star Wars duvet dress 06:53 Hollywood Tower of Terror dress plan 08:51 Lion King sleeping bag puffer coat 10:48 Vintage style fit and flare dress from curtains 14:27 Designing an upcycled coat 16:53 Upcycling nostalgic fabrics could be for you too! 📽️OTHER VIDEOS YOU MAY LIKE LETS NOT 'GROW UP' -    • 5 Ways to Stay Connected to Childlike Joy ...   HAVE CHARITY SHOPS CHANGED? -    • Charity Shops Don’t Feel the Same Anymore ...   ✨ The Joy Revival is a cosy space celebrating Disney, nostalgia, vintage finds & the joy of collecting — new videos every Friday.
