Unfortunately the camera is way too close to really see the projects, we see mostly you (not meant unkind) but I’d like to see more of the full linen project. Also music is unnecessary and loud. On a brighter note, I love your channel and I’m a new subscriber. Thank you, Theresa
Hi, My sister in law . Was kind enough to sew my wedding dress. She used her grandmother's lace tablecloth as inlay on my dress. I loved it and Still have it.
Using them for screens is so brilliant, love all your ideas. I’m guessing your Mom will love the sailboats made with driftwood and cut-up handkerchiefs.
These are the best tips I've ever seen for using vintage linens - and I have a Pinterest board for them. Thank you for sharing! (I will go to your blog article to add to my pins). My favorite is the beautiful doily you added to your skirt.
Back in the 80’s while antique hunting on vacation in the desert, my husband and I were blessed to find several boxes filled with incredible vintage handmade quilts, doilies, linens of every kind, embroidered and crocheted dresser scarves and pillowcases. Huge score! I’ve displayed some of it, but sorry to say most has been stored in the linen closet all these years. I need more ideas! Can you do a follow-up please? Help! 💕
So talented. So innovative. Such a great idea for window screens. I think you might have invented an entirely new way to decorate a window, and at the same time, offer daytime privacy. You are an amazing designer. That single idea in among all the other great ideas is truly a trend setter.
A friend of mine from England made the most gorgeous curtains from damask tablecloths. You know, those heavy ones your grandmother handed down that sit in a drawer not being used. White with the most delicate pattern. Just the bees’ knees!
I love vintage linens! Doilies and hankeys are my favorite though. Oooo and pretty embroidered pillow cases are so fun!!! I like to use colorful sheets over the clothes line to make tents. I love all these ideas, especially the boat!
@@SheHoldsDearly my cousins would host lemonade and pickle parties in the summer under that clothesline tent ☺️ it was SO fun! Especially when the mulberry tree was full and we could have those too. Thank you for reminding me of fond memories today ❤️
Discovered your site today.... really enjoyed it! You may want to consider taking pictures of projects/gifts you have completed and share these pictures with your viewers as you refer to them (e.g.. your niece's lace tent etc. )...sounds delightful.
What a space of beauty you bring to this world. Lovely ideas, I especially love the lace screens! I may adapt to a wether proof version to use on our patio. 🧡 Thank you
I just found your channel and love your ideas. Last summer my mom gave me a bunch of vintage linens. Some were a yellowish color (natural) but not very pretty- I think they are crochet . I was wondering how you'd incorporate them. Also some were kitchen towels and table cloths with the bright red blue and yellow colors (cherries, etc. ) Trying to figure out how to use them. Looking forward to more videos.
Lovely and love the diy no sew panels 🌸 I picked up a twin size dust ruffle for my window seat 6.00 at Walmart clearance ... these are great tips- I picked up some vintage napkins that would make a great runner - vintage linens are so beautiful 😍
Thoughtful design ideas for vintage linens. I have boxes full of all types of linens. My mother, my grandmother, my sisters all collected them, when they passed or downsized I got the lot. I have that exact bird, must have been a trend back in the day. Thanks for sharing. I gained an idea or two. I am enjoying your channel very much.
I am so loving all your ideas. I do not sew but wish I could. I'm trying to make something out of dollies I bought on Mercari. Your hair color is gorgeous!! Please tell me what you did to create the colors you have I really want your color look. 🤗
Wonderful creations you came up with. Great upcycles. So clever and pretty doily screen, love that. New subscriber here looking forward to seeing more of your beautiful and lovely creations. 💕Tfs and Happy Friday to you
Very ingenious ideas, l especially like your Screen Idea! I would imagine it casts beautiful shadows on your walls at certain times of the day. ♥️👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
When I grew up, girls' twin beds usually had a pretty dust ruffle, and adults' beds had bedspreads, so that may be why you don't find larger lacy ones.
I love the screen idea and the chair!❤❤❤❤ I was hoping that you could show how you style them in a room. Such as that visual idea of the screen in place or the chair staged and etc. You have so many unique and wonderful ideas.
I find elegant linens sometimes thrifting that might be finely embroidered and i need to use them. Cant pass buying them because i know how much work has gone into them. Love your skirt.
Thank you for this educational and inspiring video. I love to repurpose elegant older cotton and linen damask tablecloths. You can pick them up for a song at Goodwill. I cut them in half the long way, which makes 2 very long strips. I cut the strips into sections to use as dishtowels! Then I finish the raw edges. Damask linen dishtowels would cost about $20 each at the high end kitchen stores. I iron them and give them for shower and birthday gifts. I made a TH-cam video about this. It's called, Goodwill's Best Kept Secret...from Grandma Bunny.
Hi!!! Very creative uses for these linens. I wanted to ask, I noticed that you have sweet little girl clothes hanging in different rooms from various videos over the years. Are these treasures from your little one that passed? I am sorry if I am confusing that with someone else. God bless!
Yes, there's a dress I had bought for our little girl, Wren, and it has found its way into lots of different places throughout our home in my designs since. ♥
I appreciate your ideas. I have my mother's hankercheifs that my dad brought back from Japan and the Philippines. I would never ever cut them. They mean too much. 😊
Hello! I just discovered your video. I really like how you upcycle pretty vintage linens. Please know that the music in this video was loud enough that I often had to really focus on your voice to hear what you were saying. Other than that, the video was great and you did a great job giving viewers a lot of cool ideas!
I had someone give me a large bag FULL of old crocheted and lace tablecloth, runners, doilies, etc., but several have holes or are torn in some way. I was ready to throw them out (because I really don't know how to repair them) and then watched this video. I'm wondering how you would recommend using them without having them really come apart, since they are crocheted. I'm afraid, if I cut them into smaller pieces, they will just start unraveling. Do you have any suggestions?
You are right about cutting them in the correct spots. You have to only cut around complete shapes. You might want to just try a little sample are first.
Hi, I’m at 6:33 and the music is so loud I can’t make out what you are saying. Sometimes it’s great to have music in the intro and outro, but have no music during the bulk of the video. Just some suggestions... Otherwise, terrific ideas thank you!✅
Unfortunately we can't edit the video once it's published! But here's the associated blog post if you feel like you missed out on what I was saying! :) sheholdsdearly.com/10-ways-to-repurpose-vintage-linens/
Sorry about that, Amanda! Here's the written blog post if you felt like you missed out on some of the content: sheholdsdearly.com/10-ways-to-repurpose-vintage-linens/
Love this BUT your background music is way too loud and I'm straining to hear you.
That's what I am hearing, my apologies.
Music is very annoying@@SheHoldsDearly
You have a pleasant voice and lovely ideas. No need for the music as it distracts from your tutorial.
I agree
I could hardly hear her over the music. Too bad; she has some good ideas.
Like others have said, please lower the volume of the music
I love the lace window screen!! Awesome!
Unfortunately the camera is way too close to really see the projects, we see mostly you (not meant unkind) but I’d like to see more of the full linen project. Also music is unnecessary and loud. On a brighter note, I love your channel and I’m a new subscriber. Thank you, Theresa
I think the charming bird crochet applique would look lovely as a pillow. If you get tired of the skirt, definitely reuse the applique for a pillow!!
Patricia Hall that’s a great idea! I was also thinking it would be pretty framed.
I totally agree!
Good idea, the skirt did not work.
I love old liens! You gave me some great ideas.
agree with Joe.....great ideas, I think, could not quite understand due to high volume music.
Hi, My sister in law . Was kind enough to sew my wedding dress. She used her grandmother's lace tablecloth as inlay on my dress. I loved it and Still have it.
You have made beautiful things from your linens. Thank you.
Glad you like them!
Using them for screens is so brilliant, love all your ideas. I’m guessing your Mom will love the sailboats made with driftwood and cut-up handkerchiefs.
I hope so too!
These are the best tips I've ever seen for using vintage linens - and I have a Pinterest board for them. Thank you for sharing! (I will go to your blog article to add to my pins).
My favorite is the beautiful doily you added to your skirt.
OH wow, I am so humbled. Thank you for your kind words!
And my favorite is little driftwood sailboat! Thank you for the idea.
I made cafe curtains from matching pairs of embroidered pillow cases with a half of a table runner to create a three layer curtain for a cottage.
I am in love with old linens!!! I have been picking them up for years! They have so many uses. Thank you so much for sharing!
Glad you like them!
That window screen is a fantastic idea! It's gorgeous.
Thank you, what a sweet thing to say!
Love the skirt with bird! And the lace runner curtains.
Love the bird, someone made with great love!

Please turn off the background music. I’m having a hard time hearing you over the music.
Great ideas! I love thinking out of the box! Thrifting is more fun when you've got a wide range of possibilities. Thanks!
Agree with others the music very loud and very distracting over powers your video.
Your bird doily is amazing, and as you said, very unusual. So glad you used it rather than tossing it.
Thank you! 😊
I love your ideas. 😊 The drift wood sail boat is adorable 😍 The lace screen is so pretty as well. TFS
Frame the crochet bird!!! It is beautiful and unique!!!
Your ideas are terrific.
That skirt is adorable!
Great ideas, It do skip the music. It’s lovely, but distracting.
I love the window screen idea!.
Dude I love the lace tent!!
Isn't it pretty?!
Great ideas. I love old linens. Have used handkerchiefs for doll house curtains. Perfect weight/thickness. Cut to take advantage of the "trim".
Oh that's such a cute idea
Very girly and beautiful projects
Cute and fun ideas. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Some really cool ideas!
LOVE the bird skirt!

Absolutely love your taste.
Love the screen/lace idea. I think I want to hang some on the inside of my screen room for decor now. Thanks great ideas...

I adore vintage linens of all kinds. 🤍
Great ideas! Very inventive and thoughtful!!
Lovely, informative video...have many vintage linens from my grandmother and vintage table cloths from thrifting...thanks for this!!!
You are so welcome!
For those in UK, a dust ruffle is a valance sheet.
Ah! Always interesting to know what they're called in other places! Here in the US they're also sometimes called "bed skirts". :)
I love all of your cool ideas. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for your kind words!
The skirt is beautiful. Ive never seen a crocheted bird before
Lovely and love the diy no sew panels 🌸 I picked up a twin size dust ruffle for my window seat 6.00 at Walmart clearance ... these are great tips- I picked up some vintage napkins that would make a great runner - vintage linens are so beautiful 😍

STOP it!! I cannot believe you have the bird doily! That makes me so happy.
Hi, just found your channel, you are my soul sister, I love vintage myself, and I love repurposing. New subscriber.
Yay! Thank you!
Really cute ideas
I'm from the UK and I have never heard of dust ruffles. I can't stop saying it now
I am so loving all your ideas. I do not sew but wish I could. I'm trying to make something out of dollies I bought on Mercari. Your hair color is gorgeous!! Please tell me what you did to create the colors you have I really want your color look. 🤗

Oh that is so interesting! Good theory!
I love the driftwood sailboat and I think I have that hankie❤️❤️
Why not use the bird crochet on a pillow????
I love the screen idea and the chair!❤❤❤❤ I was hoping that you could show how you style them in a room. Such as that visual idea of the screen in place or the chair staged and etc. You have so many unique and wonderful ideas.
Hi Trudy, check out these YT videos to see them styled. xoxo

These ideas are very inspirational.. I love the idea of the lace panel but I might do that as wall art instead.. thanks for sharing xx
I use mine for hanging my earrings from!
I hope someday you publish a book!
I find elegant linens sometimes thrifting that might be finely embroidered and i need to use them. Cant pass buying them because i know how much work has gone into them. Love your skirt.

@@SheHoldsDearly absolutely precious. It's a great way to keep Wren's spirit alive and part of the family. I am so sorry for your loss. Hugs!
You are amazing! i hope your next video does not include music...
The audio for this video was accidentally set a bit too loud, usually not an issue! :)
I agree with the music being way too loud was on the verge of stopping the video early when I decide to put subtitles up instead
Thank you for sharing ❤❤❤
Do you know how to make a bedspread out of this
Great ideas thankyou. The background music was making it difficult to hear you though.
I appreciate your ideas. I have my mother's hankercheifs that my dad brought back from Japan and the Philippines. I would never ever cut them. They mean too much. 😊
I saw a hanky quilt / no cutting
I love the music. Could you tell me who or what it is? Would love to buy. I make baby bonnets out of hankies for newborns. Great ideas!
