DIY $485 Bikini Swimsuit from Thrifted T-shirts

I love vintage and retro items and inspired items, so I was excited to see Angelina at BlueprintDIY post a video on recreating a 1940's style two piece swimsuit inspired by this $485 one by Joanna Ortiz.

She created her suit for around $10 using t-shirts.  

I am not at an age I would feel comfortable in a suit like this, it is very adorable with the ruffle on the sleeves  more modest with the brief type bottoms the come up to the waist and the ruffly little sleeve

I do love the top and I am also keeping this in mind when my granddaughter when she gets a little older.

What are your thoughts on this suit?

2020 RUNWAY INSPIRED CROPPED TRENCH COAT DIY FROM THRIFTED TRENCH COAT

Screenshot from video below

I have been a long time follower of Angelina at Blueprint DIY and posting this as I am now going to be on the hunt for an old trench coat to try this DIY this thrift flip as I love how it looks.

While she posts it as a mystery with the surprise ending of the refashion based on 2020 Spring runway shows, I put the screenshot above as it is fabulous and I am not usually a fan of cropped anything these days. 

While the crop itself will be simple, the detail that makes this jacket is re-do of the sleeves with pleats to make it puffy, which is a trend this Spring.  While it won't be a simple as just cropping, it doesn't look too daunting either.  

Below is the video for this refashion.  If I do find the right coat and make it, I will post it here.
