  • It’s time to hit up our local thrift stores for fall decor and fall fashion finds. Plus! Join me in this fun fall project using well-loved jeans and fall fabric swatches. I hope you’ll try it along with me~~I think a pair of these hand sewed with love jeans would make a great holiday gift for someone!

    Our oldest and only son joined the Marine's in 2000 and left for boot camp that summer. I dived into his closet and am still wearing some of this old high school basketball t-shirts for working in the garden. Now that he is married with 3 children and 2 step children, living in California and retired from the Marine's, I still am wearing some of those t-shirts. I will continue until they are filled with holes. Throughout those years as he was deployed, 3 times during his Marine career, those t-shirts brought me great comfort. I prayed my way through those years and his closet. I could see you tearing up while talking about those jeans of Johnny's. Had those cargo shorts too!! I understand. Hugs.

    The pants will be adorable on you with that white blouse! The faux fur is so gorgeous on you. Yes, definitely style with tall boots and slim pants but wear a wool fedora or straight brim hat to complete the look. The orange and turquoise pants are so retro…they go with your beautiful turquoise vase. ❤️ I love that you share you wonderful ideas with us. The embellished jeans project is perfect!! You do not talk too much. 😍

    I love that you shop for fashions at second-hand stores. I watched a documentary recently that showed what happens to much of the clothes we donate. There's so much waste and much ends up in the ocean where garments get tangled and look like huge tentacles.
    Whoever donated those 70s clothes probably didn't realize that look is back in style.
    I noticed Target has blouses where the billowy long sleeves are gathered with a big cuff. I'm old enough to have worn that style the first time. (Just got my Medicare card.) ☺️

    Hi Linda, I started to follow you for gardening tips. Then I found we have same hobby to reuse/purpose things for their second life.

And thank you and Steward for your wonderful videos!

    I've been finding arts and crafts, craftsman and bungalow Mission style items thrifting, I have a 1925 Craftsman, and a few year's ago it became a huge craze, everything was expensive now not so much so finding pieces for cheap, has been really fun.

    I get it with your sons clothes. After my dad died, I wear his baseball hats when I garden and always think of him when I put them on. Especially as he was so supportive of my yard renovation efforts- he loved to spend time sitting on my back patio enjoying the scene and watching birds visiting the water feature

    Linda I am so into this vibe. And my only child, a son, almost 29 - I am fortunate he only lives a half hour away- just left my home where I had been after him to go thru his old closet with me to cull the junk and make sure we protected the special things etc. I am so going to go thru the clothing items he didn’t want to take with him to his home and I’ll be repurposing those. I love to thrift and you had some great finds today! Keep doing these type of videos. I find we have a lot of the same tastes and styles! Thanks for sharing.

    Linda, this is such an endearing video. I love the amazing things that you find at Goodwill and your creative ways that you want to style them. But the part about your son, Johnny, is so lovely and how wearing his clothes will comfort you. I’m going to look in my son’s closet and dresser to see if there’s anything I can wear too. I’m not a huge saver but my son is so maybe there’s some treasure’s to be found. I can sew and was a huge fan of hand stitched patches on jeans in my college years but I don’t think I want to partake in your project, however, I can totally see you in patched jeans! Go for it! You’re such an inspiring woman and I’ve gotten so many great ideas from you. Thank you for your kindness, openness and your thoughtful way of presenting your content.

  • @DLynne222
    @DLynne222 3 ปีที่แล้ว +13

    How funny. All the clothing you showed from Goodwill, I was already thinking how they would make cute pillows! The red pants in particular, 2 lumbar pillows or bolsters and a throw pillow. I do sew occasionally, only for myself now though I used to sew for the public, and I'm still obsessive about fabrics. My first ever pair of bell bottom jeans, I made them in 1972 when I was in 8th grade, were a pair of 1960s Lee jeans purchased at a local thrift store for a quarter (left over from my lunch money) and then I split the leg seams up to the knee and hand sewed in a triangle shaped floral fabric which was a scrap from my mother's sewing pile. I loved those jeans! ...I'm really sympathetic and a bit jealous concerning your sons. My son passed away in 2009 following a battle with Lymphoma/Leukemia (he survived the cancer, was in total remission, but the cancer treatment killed him). He was 28 then, so would be 40 now. He left a widow, after only 3 years of marriage, and no children. However, she will be my forever daughter-in-law, and she remarried to a wonderful man--who maybe not so coincidentally very much resembles my son--whom I've adopted as my son-in-law, and together they've given me 3 wonderful grandsons whom I wholeheartedly claim as mine! With the blessing of both of their biological grandmothers too. I don't get to be with them often since I'm in TX and they're in TN. I do have a daughter, son-in-law and two grandchildren here in TX too. But no one can replace my son and I do miss him terribly. I often imagine him just being away in a far away land and I look forward to being with him again. Keeps me sane. ...Anyway, thank you so very much for this fun, very pleasant, memory inspiring and thought provoking video! Made my day. Thank you!

    What fun! Love the patch Jean project! Yes!
    Most of my home is decorated with hand me downs/heirlooms from my husband’s and my family or Goodwill and thrifted items. And I proudly style and wear my 80% thrifted clothing. Older clothes tend to be better made with natural fibers. I usually don’t put things in the dryer and love using products from The Laundress to take care of them. I’m so glad I stumbled on your Channel, Linda! 😊

    Great find in the fur vest and sweater. Looks so cute on you! I love a great deal and always have to show my husband my finds. He always humors me!

    Linda, I'm sorry you are missing your son. I love the way you have come up with some really creative ideas to use his clothing to bring him closer to your heart each day! A suggestion for the flowered pants from Goodwill -- I love the pattern too! After you have created the patches for your jeans, I wondered if you could use the material to make summer slip covers for your outdoor pillows? You probably would only have enough fabric for the front, but you could do a patchwork style on the front, using denim as an accent fabric. (The backs of the pillows could be denim.) It's easy to make an envelope back, so you don't have to install a zipper. You simply slip your pillow into the cover. You mentioned you don't sew -- it may be another project for Stewart's Mom!!! Today's video was great. I loved the variety and your genuine approach to being transparent with your followers.

      What an incredible idea! I don’t know that they’ll be enough for my pillows… Even for the front… But definitely gives me some ideas on otherwise I can use the remainder of the fabric. Thanks so much!

    I was thinking styling your vest with a black turtleneck and boots too! 😊

    I have the same idea on the jeans! Have some cool fabrics (one is a dishtowel) and I do sew!

    Hi Linda, I suggest you keep the vases and place them on the bookshelves behind you. I enjoy your program!!!

    Aww I have lots of my sons clothes too. Neither live at home now but one is local so stealing his stuff is easy. The other is in Florida and whenever we go to see them and the grandkids, I always take something of his home. Usually a sweatshirt.
    I have them all tucked away and wear them when it’s cool and, like you, I think about him when I do.
    Enjoy wearing them!
