I went to a church, yesterday. In its basement there is a thrift store. They give you a bag. You fill it to the top and you pay 4$. In an other side of the basement they have, what they call, The Boutique, where the best clothes have been selected, and there you pay the label price.
@@SoleildePerez that sounds amazing! I want to go 🤩
the shorts hemming on a taper is GENIUS. thank you so much!!
@@crashofthemoons glad it helped! Hemming tapered garments is tricky!
Such a good trick with the shorts! I was doing this recently and got frustrated with the bunching so I’m gonna rip some stitches and try again!
@@yourethegoodthings what good timing!
You make altering my thrift finds seem much more approachable! And I had no idea about altering a tapered hem, that's great to know. Also I love the sweater vest on you, so cute!!
Okay I love the flowy shirt that is definitely reversible - loved the buttons on the front instead of the back
Should I bring that one for you to borrow too? 😆
I loooovvee the gingham dress❤
@@kone.handmade me too!
Love the simple hacks to change up your finds!
Removing the bottom ruffle from the dress really transformed it.
@@KitKatUniverse agreed!!
Loving the pink gingham shorts! Very entertaining video and...I have that same card of 'vintage' snaps but I purchased them new about 30 years ago!
@@lynnries7729 thank you! the snaps were 20 cents originally but I paid 0.50 for them at a thrift store. You got a good deal! 😆
Those gingham shorts look so good and the dress length is perfect on you!
Thank you! That's kind 😄
When I have gaping in a buttoned top, I sew it closed on the inside of the placket and make it a pullover. No pulling, no gaping.
That's a good idea! I didn't even think of that!
I've got 2 dresses that bulge open and they fit me. One is actually a little bigger on me since I've lost weight but still gapes open at the bosom. I've been pinning that opening but now I'm going to see some snaps on there. Thank you for reminding me about little snaps. I've even got some in my craft room and did not think of using them.
That is so perfect!
Lovely finds and clever alterations! When you cut the tier off the dress, did you save it? You could make a matching cravat, headband or even a little bag from it.

@@JehanineMelmoth I did keep it! Those are great ideas!
i love your finds and flips!
Thank you! I think my mom brought me good luck. It was a good haul! ;)
Lol @ school teacher vibe😅
that person who cropped it all wonky was probably me 😅
@@helvyrah hahaha! I struggle to cut a straight line too, so I shouldn’t judge 😅
I loved it
😊 Du hadt Dir fadt nur Kleidung in warmen Farben ausgesucht; mich würde interessieren ob Du wirklich ein warmer Farbtyp bist oder eher ein kühler wie das kühle Pink im ersten Thrift flip Lass es mich gerne wissen 😊
Wow, I have never really thought about it! I just wear clothes that I think look good on me. I guess I like warmer colors!
Yuk no with elastic waist jeans
