It’s been awhile since I went thrifting! Join as I explore my local thrift stores in Maastricht, The Netherlands.

Stay tuned for the final thrift haul to see what I find, my sewing plans, and my new favourite menswear item!...

if I had a flower bag I'd want gingham!
also would be so cute! i'll keep an eye out for it
Wow i’m so impressed you lined the jacket too 🤩 the end result is beautiful and even more so due to the cloth being recycled 🎉🥰
I like the plain solid colour bags best. 😊
Thank you!! I have some solid colour fabrics ready to go :)
I love that pink and green. I think an assortment of different ones and see what people choose. Maybe 2 of each choice.
For sure! A choice is always helpful :)
Hi Eleonor! Love the colorfull bags! what do you do with the scraps?
Thank you!! I collect all my scraps and sort them by size. The small ones I give away to crafters and i am still deciding what to do with the bigger ones!
Omg this is so cute
thank you so much!! i have more on my website <3
Adorable makes.
thank you :)
someone stole a jacket at your first photoshoot?! devastating! you have such a great attitude about it!
ya!! something I never thought would happen, but looking at it from a positive outlook helps :P
Oh that is MY type of content. Love from a Frenchie in Australia!
haha hello!! thanks for watching <3
Hello from Canada, NIagara on the Lake Canada. I am a Stay at home Mom of 2 boys (12 and 15) We will be going into our 10th year of homeschooling. Hubby has a concrete business (driveways, sidewalks and patios etc.) I am learning to sew on TH-cam and I love it. Love your flower bags. Do you have a pattern for them? I love this idea of fabric swatches and cataloging them. I have to figure it all out. I have way too much fabric for my craft room, so I need to put it in boxes and stack. If I can catalog them well I could know exactly what I have at all times and know where to find each one. So exciting. We just moved and what would have been the dinning room is now a fantastic craft room with french doors and a huge front window. I am so blessed.
super exciting! i wish you all the best in your sewing journey <3
I have a digital inventory system for all my fabric, vinyl (for bag making), hardware and a few other odds and ends. I started with having paper with pieces attached. And that wasn't for me because I would forget about it. So I spent probably a month creating an Excel document that has everything together. All my fabric got inventory numbers and letters. It also semi automatically adds and subtracts what I use. I started that all in February and so far have been impressed with myself keeping it up. I couldn't find a way to integrate photos of the materials (I know other online systems have that ability. And of course that is one benefit to the paper system. Being able to see and feel all the samples) The one thing I probably would have added would be a location in my space section. So it would make things easier to find. But then I would end up having to update that if I moved things around.
oh wow this is next level cataloguing! amazing job
I’m also trying to be more analog. It just has always made more sense in my brain.
ya right?? some things just need to be pen and paper
I've had my pinking shears a few years and there still really stiff and like you I have to line it all up right drives me mad
They're definitely a particular scissor to use!
❤
You should come to one of the markets in Rotterdam 😍
i've definitely thought of it! would be so fun to try :)
The outfits are pretty!
Thank you!!
@@eleanorstieva Most welcome!
Those thrift stores are a DREAM!
ikr!! we need more of this in NL
Oh I love the old irons as pattern weights! ...why haven't I thought of that?! 😂 Thank you for inspiration! ❤
haha you're welcome!! They're so perfect as weights :)
Did you also made the purple top with which you paired the long trousers with yourself? Would love to know if you have a tutorial of that one. Thanks!
It's super cute but I didn't make it!
I know that we can't fully control how we speak, yet your delivery is noticeably measured compared to the overabundance of "quirky girl!" youtubers. I cringe at the overuse of "literally" in most creators' vids and the fast edit styles. So, uh, I suppose just thanks for being natural and you. It works! ha!
Haha thank you!
The pocket is everything.
Absolutely
Those are curtains, lol. The holes are there for sticking the curtain rod through. 🙂
Good to know!
Hi, new subscriber here, also an expat in the Netherlands who loves thrifting and sewing. 😊 Have been watching your videos while upcycling a dress to a top. Lovely and inspiring videos!
Awesome! Thank you so much!
Rethreading is simple. Just snip threads, knot the new spools on and pull thru. Easy peasy.
yes, that's usually what I do! Sometimes they snap in the middle so then I prefer to just rethread it all :)
I love it tied back in front, over the front panel. It is cute!
Thank you!
YUM! I love love love this jacket, I would wear it every day, I love the color, purple is my favorite. Except I would not wear it when I eat, no matter how I try I tend to drop crumbs on my clothes. Beautiful work!
Thank you so much!
Love that blue floral, such a beautiful blue! The butter yellow would make a gorgeous coat!
I ended up making the yellow coat, and it was so cute! You can see the final result on my website or Instagram. :)
Hi Eleanor! Love the striped fabric. When my mom and I are feeling like we need a snack, we say we are feeling "peckish." I think people used to use that word a lot, and one day I was watching a horror movie hosted by Elvira- she's from the 80's? And she said she was feeling "peckish" and I cracked up. Anyways, my mom and I think it is funny. Great fabric haul, I go to thrift stores all the time. Thanks for the video. 💝
It's a great word haha. Glad you liked the video!
Shorts/boxers are so cute! Pants love em! White top swwwweeettt!!! Excellent on every one.
thank you so much!!
First video of yours I’m watching! I was like oh she must be American but then you said buttons and pocket and I’m like nope she’s Canadian! 😊 Love the video! Going to watch more now.
lolol yes I am Canadian!
I have never seen someone being so excited about elastic, but I love it!
haha it's the little successes!
a lot of fun! thanks!
<3
I looove the double pockets!!! 🤩
Right!? My fav part
In my mind the alternative is no music, since if one wants to listen to music one would choose a totally different kind of video... A music video 😱 I want to play your videos while I am working on my own projects, listening to your voice and your work... That is music in my ears and it inspireres me big time 👍😇🥰❤️💃🥳 Today I have been watching approximately 10 of your videos and I loved every minute of your work sound and your voice, but every time the music came on (and it comes to often and sometimes to laud) I godt irritated and wanted to shut you down, sorry... I did't, because you got what I am seeking, sustainable ideas and I totally love your flowerbag - what a beautiful idea ❤️👍❤️
Thank you so much for your support and feedback!! I am always trying to improve and learn as I go :)
Idk if this is obvious to everyone but instead of wrapping each strap from the long trousers around your whole body, you could have one strap only going through the front and the other through the back part. That way the parts of the straps that are visible are longer.
That’s actually what I ended doing in the end and like you said, the straps are more visible! I always like to show a visual for my idea while creating to help with the process.
The pocket pocket! ❤ I have made a pair of shorts out of ONE shirt before, but it was truly a puzzle to get enough fabric for the panels. 😅
Haha yes I bet! I wasn’t sure if I wanted to tackle that puzzle lol but I kept all my scraps so maybe I can create something else from the smaller pieces.
@@eleanorstieva you’re super creative. I’m sure you’ll find use for the nice cotton pieces ✌️ Edited to add, that would be a good idea for a video. How to tackle the little scrap pieces of fabric. That’s mostly what I have and I’m always looking for ideas on how to diminish the stash.
As an Australian, I find the way you say “buttons” so cute 🥹 loved this video!!! So satisfying and calming 😊
lol thank you :) :)
Just found you today and love to see and hear you and your work 👍❤️😁😇 But, please stop putting on that awful music it destroys the good wibe... It is better with some silence ore just the sound of your work 😇
thank you!! Haha yes the music is a tough situation sometimes but currently working on an alternative for future videos! :)
I love the crunch sound of the scissors cutting
haha yes so satisfying!
they look amazing!!!
thank you so much!
🎶I laaaaahhhve this top🎶
hahaha my new song
You're so talented!!! 👗🧥👒
thank you so much :) :)
every piece turned out beautifully!!
thank you!! I'm excited to wear them :)
Cute
thanks!!
So cute!

The brooch looks to be a pin for knitted shawls or wraps.
it's really the coolest brooch i've found so far!
Hello! I just found your channel today... i'm loving the aesthetic of your brand 🩰🙌 about the pins falling on the floor- girl i've been there!! Have you considered using magnetic pin cushions? I love mine✨
Thank you! And maybe that's something I need to look into, it's happened too many times haha
Hello from the French German order. I just found your channel and subscribed. I love what you do! Your crop jacket is coooo cute and you have such wonderful energy. I shall be watching ALL your videos :)

Would you ever release a pattern for the top you sell on your website?
No, just the finished product :)
