Featured on Insider

August 26, 2020~ PRESS

I was featured on Insider in an article, Before-and-after photos show how 6 women have transformed thrift-store clothes into stylish outfits. Thank you so much for including me with all the other talented seamstresses!

Sarah Tyau started transforming thrift-store finds soon after she got married as a way to save money.

Tyau estimates she’s worked on around 400 pieces. 

Tyau is a part-time content creator who shares her clothing transformations on her blog, “Life is Beautiful.” Since starting in 2010, Tyau told Insider she’s probably worked on around 400 pieces. 

“We throw away so much, and with fast-fashion, it seems to be more and more as time goes by,” she said. “Not only will you be helping to save the environment, but you’ll save money and also hone in on your sewing skills and expand your creativity and a sense of accomplishment. A win-win-win-win for all!”

Tyau doesn’t just shop at thrift stores for herself. She also transforms secondhand clothing for her children.

Tyau has been transforming clothes for 10 years. 

She told Insider it can take her anywhere from 30 minutes to six hours to finish working on a piece. Her main goal with the transformations is for people to see all the potential in clothes that are already out there. 

“I hope to spark inspiration and creativity in people and give them ideas on how they can refashion their outdated or ill-fitting clothes,” she told Insider. “To see the potential in something people might call ugly and instead look at the beauty and turn it into something you love!”

My sewing went viral…again! Featured part 3

October 10, 2018~ PRESS

 

 

I was featured this morning on NowThis News, which reminded me of all the other features I haven’t posted about from the past few months. I keep track of all the places that I know of that have featured me for my own record so if you come across a feature about me anywhere, please let me know! Many of these were found because one of you kindly emailed or messaged me letting me know, thank you so much!

This is the second year my sewing went viral, last year a couple months after launching my YouTube channel, I went viral(see the features here) and now, again. There’s part 4 coming too after this post. This is crazy! I do not believe this is a coincidence however with the timing of it going viral, I will have to share with you the long story with you another time but I know I was inspired to start my YouTube channel and it’s all a stepping stone to getting to my biggest dream, which is to help orphaned children.

So thank you so much for following along and hello to all the new readers, thank you for being here! It means so much to me.

FEATURED Part 2

October 10, 2018~ Etc., PRESS, SEWING

 

*So this was a compilation I was working on last year in 2017 but I never published it! So here it is, a year later.

 

The features keep coming, this is so crazy(see the first set of features here)! And the comments are so kind and supportive, I’ve already cried twice while reading them, thank you so much! This is mainly just for me to keep track of all the places that I know of that has featured me. I know there must be other ones that I am not aware of so feel free to contact me when you see a feature, I’d appreciate it!

The biggest feature I got so far, which has given me 25,000+ followers on Instagram in just 2 days is from People.com!

 

People.com

The morning show was shown live on People’s FB page(shown at 21:46)

 

 

People Facebook Page(4.3 million views, 9253 shares, 1.2k comments and 40k likes!)

 

People on Instagram

I couldn’t help but crack up at their feature on their Instagram page, there’s Beyonce, Kate Middleton and Prince William, Jennifer Gardner, Kim Kardashian, and then wait, who is this random girl? She’s not a celebrity! Hahaha. 😀

I WAS FEATURED IN PEOPLE

July 12, 2017~ PRESS, SEWING

 

 

 

 

I still need to publish a blog post of part 2 of all the places I’ve been featured in(see part one here) but the biggest feature has been when People.com featured me, which I gained over 25,000+ followers from on my Instagram and 8,000 FB followers in just 2 days. It was insane! My brother recently found out about the feature and was like, “Did you blog about it? Or email the family to let us know?” Which I had not, so here it is, Joe!

May 17, 2017~ SEWING

 

Hello everyone that’s old and new! Welcome! It has been a crazy whirlwind the past week being featured on so many sites, I feel so honored and excited!

I’ve been featured on big sites before such as Buzzfeed(6 times!) for my Urban Outfitters Knockoff, Anthropologie Knockoff, my orange lace dress, my orange dress again, ruffled cardigan DIY, my cardigan again but never all at once within one week!

I listed it all on here for mostly myself so I have a record of these features. Thank you so much for joining me and check out my new YouTube channel and follow me on Instagram for behind the scenes and sneak peeks!

 

It all started when My Modern Met featured me in April which was a total surprise

Then featured on some other sites:

on A News

On Queminova

Then a news wire company contacted me after seeing the My Modern Met article and asked me if they could write an article about me. The day they published it, literally within a few hours, it was picked up by Dailymail.

I was featured in the Dailymail

(they never linked to any of my sites though, boo!)

Then the rest is history!
