Oh, God, I have reached Peak Hipster, darling.

And welcome to another episode, off free flipping with Ashley.

The theme song never gets better, but this is a serious side to on my channel, where I turn ugly, drifted stuff into slightly less ugly drifted stuff.

Or, as I like to call it, puberty for clothing before we jump into the video.

I didn't wanna apologize if I'm lisping more than normal.

I just got Invisalign a couple days ago, and I'm still getting used to the fact there's a plastic torture device inside my mouth.

24 7 shot up to 12 year old Ashley, who thought she was too cool to get braces.

I hope you enjoyed the zero boys that you dated while you were in middle school, on to the actual content that you guys clicked for.

So today we are doing an Urban Outfitters inspired, which I am so excited for, because you has no I love urban outfitters as much as the next 20 year old who caught her bangs at home.

But obviously Urban outfitters can get pretty expensive, especially for a store that steals like 90% of its aesthetic from thrift items to begin with.

So I thought it would be the perfect brand to try to recreate some of the pieces for a little bit cheaper and also a little bit more sustainably.

So the first thing I'm gonna try to imitate is this high waisted, vintage inspired Short does it pretty much the short that anybody on Instagram wears.

But these retail for 69 60 times spicy dollar.

He knows I literally am a 14 year old boy.

So today I'm gonna try to d i y them out of some thrift store Gene.

I got these beauties for $8 at Goodwill, and they are a Levi's 5010 the genes of deep pop girls wet dreams.

However, the problem with drifting vintage revised in L.

Is First of all, they're hard as hell to find, because trendy bitches are searching through all of the aisles.

But second of all, they tend to be really large or in men's styles.

So it can be a little bit hard if you're smaller, like me to find something that fits exactly.

But the good part is that if you start with genes that are quite oversized on you.

It's much easier to make them very high waisted because this larger fit already has a very large What's this cold Like the crotch length rice has a very large rise already.

So it's gonna help me get that ultra high waisted like up to the belly button look.

So the challenge with altering genes is that you have so many details to avoid and namely these four pockets.

So I need to make sure that I don't take off too much fabric from the front pockets because I still want those to maintain their general position.

But I also want to make sure these back pockets end in the right place.

So if I take all the fabric from the sides, I'm gonna end up with this like, weirdly wide set but situation.

But if I take off all of the fabric from the inside of the the but craft, then my pockets are gonna run into each other, and it's gonna look really weird.

So I'm thinking of the optimal solution is to kick off a little bit from the sides and a little bit from the back, so that hopefully the pockets will all balance out to start out.

I think I can get away with around an inch door on each of the sides without disturbing the pocket situation too much.

So I'm going to start with that and then we'll take off the rest of the fabric from the book.

Before I got to sewing, I snipped off adult troops from either side because they were just gonna end up getting sucked into my side door.

So I figured, Why not take them off right off the bat?

I just wanted to reduce the overall bulk of fabric so it's easier to manipulate in the sewing machine.

Now sewing through denim on a regular sewing machine is a bit of a challenge.

I actually broke a needle doing this, So remember to go slowly and use the hand crank when sewing over those thicker layers.

Okay, so, admittedly, this is not looking too hot right now.

It kinda looks like a giant Denham diaper, but I promise it will get better.

Or at least I think so or at least I hope so because I have no idea what the fuck I'm doing now from a giant asked Dart pun intended kids.

Oh, God, I am gathering all the extra fabric to the back and really like folding this over to make sure that I get as close to, like a flattering but shape as possible on these things that's gonna create this little like David here.

I'm gonna take a Sharpie and mark all the way down this nice little but crease.

And don't forget to get that top section where you want the waste to end.

Oh, God, I feel like I'm not being very accurate here, and you want to make sure you're going like, all the way down the booty, and then hopefully it just looks like a shadow on my pants.

If I sew up this line, it's gonna turn into a well fitting pair of shorts.

Maybe Wilson wakes is now looking snatch.

However, I did kind of make a mistake in not so directly down the middle.

I think it would really matter that much, but it helps when my cheeks or loved asymmetrical and 10 is off to the side.

At least I'm gonna seem ripped out Just the top section of this Because I think I did a pretty good job.

You know that part is doing well and then sew it hopefully more evenly this time.

I did finally buy a seam Ripper, but then I promptly lost it within the next couple weeks.

So I'm just gonna use scissors to cut these out.

So I think the place I went wrong is laying down this big ass seem flat on its side.

I really didn't think it would make that much difference, but it did end up making the shorts a lopsided.

So this time, when I re so it I'm gonna stand this up straight so that I'm sewing exactly in the middle of the road.

Look, my book is so even you fit pretty Gandhi and will love that voice crack.

You're 20 years old, Ashley and still going through puberty.

So hopefully the last thing that I have to do to the silhouette is to bring in the sides.

When I did the side door, I kind of left it like out is a plea because I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with the legs.

But it is a little bit triangular for my taste, not trying to use the Pythagorean theorem today.

So unfolding in the remaining fabric over here and a minute.

So little darts down side for the rest of the shorts, so they're a bit more of a straight legs.

Originally, I thought I caught the hem of the short ready too long, but I'm actually kind of satisfied with it.

I would make some shorter, but I feel like you don't give me, like, a bit of a a diaper look.

I mean, that's not that I but I'm kind of digging this like nineties mall vibe.

And plus, I feel like it's a bit more of a unique silhouette that you can't just fine at any basic store.

So to finish up the shorts, I just have to cut off all the excess from inside of the themes and distress the bottom ham a little bit so they look a bit more warning and a bit less like I just caught them with Paris's to distress the shorts.

I'm going at it with a box cutter Gustavo style.

I'm cutting horse on the lines and then using tweezers to pull out the blue vertical strands in between.

For that classic distressed look, I didn't go too crazy with the distressing since.

Luckily, the days of destroyed jeggings are behind us all.

I just distressed two small holes, one by the leg and one by the pocket and your other finish shorts.

The shorts blowed up harder than I did in middle school, and that's saying something, folks.

My craftsmanship may not have been perfect, but honestly thought, prove anything.

It's just that if I could do it with my subpar sewing skills, you can also do it.

I'm now available for motivational speaking engagements.

The next thing I'm going to try to recreate from Urban Outfitters is a skirt that I already own.

This I I spent 59 fucking dollars on this skirt.

It is a green plaid skirt with a little zipper detail down the front that I thought was super cool.

I don't know, but we're gonna fry me, create it for a little bit less so to start re creating that skirt, I picked up this skirt for $5.49 from good whales.

Not exactly the same plaid pattern, but it has a similar forest green undertone running throughout.

And I thought it was kind of a groovy like hound's tooth Esperance.

Luckily, unlike the jeans, the waste of the skirt pretty much fits perfectly already.
