[@KathleenIllustrated]

Edit: So... we sold out. THANKS EVERYONE 🥲 More coming soon! SHIRTS HERE!: www.kathleenillustrated.co (If the link doesn't work, you can try on mobile (not wifi) or an incognito browser (if you're interested!). THANK YOU!!!!)

[@krila_morgan]

It keeps telling me that the page does not exist! 😅

[@kalka1l]

I think you’re about to be sold out within the hour. Congratulations! 🎉Also as someone making historically-inspired clothing specifically playing with marginalia art this -speaks to me- Hooray for you!

[@fleasg5487]

I purchased one, so excited to wear it out and about at the thrift stores.

[@jasminebechle5732]

Looks like you're sold out of most all sizes, congratulations! I'll comment about my art adventures separately from this, but thank you for sharing your creative interest on here and getting me back into showing my own art again ❤

[@ambergaillard]

Thank you so much for sharing so much of what goes into creating products. I too am stuck in the middle of something where the 'slog' part of the work has just killed me. Congratulations on the successful launch! I look forward to more! (Please more Washi Tape and maybe Postcards?). Also, thank you Gus for the free labour!!!! And for supporting our favourite stinky Thrift Gremlin. :3

[@stephcampbell4645]

“By the time you’re seeing this the shirts will be…” all sold out! Sad I missed out on the clown core shirt of my dreams, but so very happy for u!! Fingers crossed for many more drops in the future.

[@janicestewart8291]

Awww...it figures, I am just now seeing this. Bummer 😢

[@janelte]

Oh PLEASE make Kashi washi just so we can all say that over and over and over until we fall in a heap of giggles and over excitement!!

[@saxamachick]

Yes please!!! I need some Kashi-washi in my life!

[@kwhitney6737]

Uploaded 30 minutes ago and already sold out of everything outside of XS & S! That's crazy! Get it, dude!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

I'm like, equally excited and scared!!!! thank you!!!

[@AndeeM-C]

😭

[@krystalroney]

Im so sad 😭😭😭

[@krystalroney]

But also excited that it's successful! Lol I just knew I would get one

[@sarahobrien7831]

so sad they’re all sold out 😭

[@ireadqueerbooks]

Sad l missed the drop, but so happy for Kathleen that so much is sold out in less than an hour!!

[@lselm244]

This is amazing omg, the fact that you technically thrifted every single t shirt of this merch drop is incredible and fits the vibes of the channel almost too good lol

[@ArianaEvans]

the fact that i vowed years ago to never buy another KZbinr’s merch (unless it’s a book!) and yet i caved so fast when i saw the design AND heard they were secondhand sourced 😮‍💨

[@rorysomethingorother164]

Heck yeah, I managed to grab a tee! They look glorious! This is exactly the pre-election anxiety-salve dopamine I needed.❤

[@katef1384]

Totally agree❤

[@HollyOrdinarily]

Just wanted to pop in and say that the design and idea behind this shirt is so awesome and it was so fun to watch the process of it coming into being! I will be on the look out for future drops - congrats & and thanks so much for sharing your creativity with us 💜

[@sgblaha]

Congratulations! I’m not surprised you sold out so quickly. I’ve been watching your channel for a couple weeks now and it has legitimately improved my quality of life! I’m thrifting again, trying out new projects and reading instead of scrolling… You’re the best 😊

[@AntiqueAgenda]

I ordered my Tshirt and (hope you don't mind) plan on overdyeing it orange. I'm a middle aged Thrift Gremlin and darker colors look better with my gray hair...I can't wait to rock this T-shirt at the Thrift Store👍 🧡

[@Tierneylister]

I love the commitment level of investing in a t-shirt folding device

[@missribbon]

Thanks Gus for your unpaid labour! ❤ congrats Kathleen, they’re lovely! waiting with baited breath for a 3XL as these tig ole bitties need a little more room 😜

[@lauramayer4896]

Yes! I (and my boobs) strongly second this!❤

[@stephaniemoore-fuller9082]

Same!

[@shaynannigans]

Well looks like you are already out of my size but just an idea, what about selling a digital wallpaper background of Thrift Gremlin for my phone? Congrats on this process, seems really like a labor of love! Happy to be part of this community. 💕 Thrift Gremlins unite!

[@aliciakelly925]

Same experience as most everyone else... So sad that larger sizes are already gone so quickly but shows how good they are! I ended up getting a small for a family member for Xmas. She'll love it!

[@darkbane123]

I love the design! Sadly my size has already sold out but I hope everyone who gets a shirt enjoys them!! Hopefully I can snag one if there’s another drop 🫶🏻

[@noahnowherenoneatall]

THRIFT GREMLINS UNITE!! Such a great idea and am so excite to save up for a treat-yourself purchase! and Okay i envision a future with a t-shirt with a pocket and the little kathleens on the pocket hem!! (the washi tape is also just so good. I love the soft cute design of it)

[@amypetrie6097]

HUGE congrats on this launch! I'm not a T-shirt girly so I'm not gonna buy it but this is truly one of my favorite launches I've ever seeen on youtube. Thank you for thinking so much about sustainability but keeping creative. I am the same about my projects. Latest project I procrastinated on was my book, it was 80% there and I just was like "nah" but I pushed through and got it out. Hope this goes well and everyone enjoys their shirts, and I hope you do more like this in the future, it was a fascinating watch. Edited to add: Just saw a bunch of comments that sizes are already sold out, so even if I did want one other's have already bought it. OMG I'm so happy this went so well for you.

[@hannahstumpf696]

Thanks for the inspo, Kathleen. I’m going to keep working on my creative writing even though it’s scary

[@juliagrummel8884]

You’ve got this, Hannah!

[@aluridscarrdhart4990]

Same! We got this!

[@cindylou2102]

So excited for you! My size is sold out already so I’ll wait for the next one. Congrats! 😊😊

[@lauramayer4896]

Oh, Kathleen, I LOVE this! I am so glad that you have expanded in this thoughtful way, and hope that the work/reward ratio is good for you! AND, I have so many thoughts, but will focus the size inclusivity issue, which is very important to me, and I am grateful that you addressed it. As a true 2x-3x, I knew just from seeing the XXL fit on you-a Medium-in the design phase that it would not fit me. 🙁 I would love to see more true upper-end sizes everywhere, so that those of us who need the fabric to cover our bodies, and not just for an of-the-moment "fun super-oversized" fit can find the clothes that we need. I will now step down from my soapbox and say congratulations again! So much love and gratitude to you for the joy you put into the world!❤

[@morgankrystean7704]

Already sold out! Hell yes Kathleen! But nooooo I wanted one!! lol so happy for you tho girly. ❤

[@kyliemeeks6143]

Not me over here trying to measure myself to see if I can get into an XS 😂 Congratulations Kathleen!

[@youkaisoul]

Already sold out!! 😭 I'm so sad, but so excited for you!! What a stellar shop launch! Congrats to everyone who nabbed one, I bet your outfits are gonna slap so hard with those shirts!! 💖

[@abbieblack1647]

Got one! Great design from my favorite KZbinr. Thrifters unite!

[@marianacoelho8746]

Dude you're so great I really appreciated how thoughtful and anti-consumeristic your approach was in this. Congrats on the drop! They look fantastic.

[@KathleenIllustrated]

thank ya so much!

[@jasminebechle5732]

Kathleen, thank you for sharing the beauty of art and creativity and design. Its easy to see a world of finished pieces but you take us through so many steps of the process that show parts of the creative process that us artist tend to have a love hate relationship with. Its easy to get discouraged when something isnt turning out, but truly creating is just a basic need for me and expressing even with imperfections is just necessary for growing skill and confidence. Art journaling has become one of my favorite ways to touch basis with myself and even though i didnt mean to, ive definitely grown my confidence since doing so. Now i feel more comfortable doing, sharing and selling art. Im very excited to be a part of a "winter market" at an awesome little shop in my hometown (they are a thrift store for art supplies and they have an awesome mission for both the environment and the community). It is something im looking forward to vending at. I have a lot of work to do to get there, so I wish me luck

[@MLiesel]

Congratulations! I hope your art market experience is wonderful!

[@SerendipityWyrd]

These shirts are so stinkin' awesome!!!! I'm not at all surprised all the sizes other than XS are gone already. It speaks to how wonderful the design is! I absolutely adore the way you created this video and encouraged people to interact with the Capitalism of it on their own terms. You absolutely rock, as does your work. I'm completely thrilled to see you succeed with this shop launch! CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!

[@alimillson8081]

Love the results of your work! Sad I missed the shirt but so excited for your success! Thank you for the opportunity to share a little piece of your skillz

[@sharonlausin3892]

Thank you, Gus for helping Kathleen. Wow I can’t believe I missed the drop. Hopefully, next time I’ll catch one of your T-shirt designs. Congratulations.

[@shananigans0117]

Thank you Gus! Congrats on the launch success!! 🤎🍂🦃🍁🧡

[@joecarroll8286]

"If these sell out". Love it! Also, your videos got me and some friends to finally drive down from Cleveland to check out those Ohio Thrift stores and that was a solid move. Congrats on the launch!

[@hansdylan3182]

Ahh wow those sold out fast, medium and up is already gone in both styles 😮🥲 such a cool design!

[@suzanne5238]

It's weird, I don't know her personally but feel so proud. I love people creating special stuff. Keep making the world a more beautiful place guys!

[@philippatill9727]

I feel like a proud mom here! ❤ bravo you. It's hard to throw your work out, especially when it's no longer under someone else's brand. Bravo!🎉

[@xingcat]

I love the idea of thrifted and sustainable merch! Got my t-shirt....hooray!

[@meganshrum1928]

You SHOULD be proud! This is really awesome! I saw this 30 mins after you posted it and most of the sizes were already sold out which is really incredible. 💗

[@02leda]

The puff paint!!!! Genius

[@ChaoticWriterRising]

I bought the washi tape 14 seconds into the video! I was too excited. Sorry for not giving you the view first. Time to watch the video.

[@lythari_15]

ahhh next time you do a drop i’ll be sure to buy oneee! i’m not a tie die person but i want one soooo bad! (cause u designed them, and, duh, THRIFT GREMLIN) i just want to make sure if i buy something i’ll actually wear it,

[@jupiterwatchesvideos]

woah!! videos only been out 30 minutes and the only shirts left available are XS and S 😳 ik you mentioned the restrictions of size availabilities you were able to get ahold of, but that's still nuts for something you seem so unsure about!! happy this is turning out for you, kathleen!!

[@ckimberly35]

Kathleen you deserve to be proud of all your hard work! Excited to see and hopefully get to support whatever your next drop is!!

[@haleykirkseygraham]

So exciting! Love the texture on the shirts!!! Well done! And you know I love washi tape. Congratulations, looks like a successful launch!

[@danihitchcock5488]

Just bought mine! I am in love with your design! Both color ways are amazing however the black and white with lavender color way would be very cool too! I bought the black and white with black lettering color way. Can’t wait to wear it! You worked hard and it is very evident! Great job! Woot woot! 🎉

[@reaganneviska9937]

I already had purchased one before i watched, and was excited to see that they are Junk Food blanks! I have a Junk Food shirt my sister bought me years ago and it's extra comfy

[@Sleipnirseight]

I am so late to the party, but I love this concept! Also, the lavender font on the gray shirt is so pretty and whimsical

[@sarbearr4]

My gremlin senses are tingling

[@alisonh.7407]

Usually I'm not bummed that I'm not an xs, but now I am! They are the only ones left!

[@dyanalayng5507]

Thank you, Kathleen. You are so creative!

[@moda78z]

So many have already sold out! Woohoo! Congratulations! 😘

[@OKLynnie]

I love this so much! The black and white totally fits my style and actually matches one of the shirts I made myself for my dog grooming business.

[@Gus.Martin.Rollerblading]

Ahhhhh!!!!!!! It's TIIIIIMMMMEEEE!!!! 💫

[@maureenmunro2826]

You are going to need to get more shorts girl!❤❤

[@maureenmunro2826]

Shirts!😂

[@jay-rene992]

The design is SO good. The puffy paint is so good! The distressing is so good! The cutesy metalness is so good. Got one!!

[@dawnpatterson7005]

💚💚💚 Fantastic… Good luck with your beautiful T-shirts. Love the lettering.

[@myownbravado]

Never clicked on a video so fast! So glad that I got on there within 18 seconds of the video being posted and nabbed one! Will be rocking the clown-core one asap. You absolutely killed it with these designs, and I can't wait to see what you come up with in the future!

[@katef1384]

So inspiring Kathleen. Cant wait for my shirt!!!

[@Kaleidoscopingg]

These came out so amazing!!! Checked the site and all sold out of my size already, hoping you will be able to reprint these because they are so freaking cool!!! Congratulations!!!

[@leslieperla3905]

I will have to grab mine on your next run! Looks amazing ❤

[@chromacrow]

i think you absolutely NAILED the design!! everything about the shirts is 😙👌✨ i grabbed one for me and one for my bestie who introduced me to your channel! this inspires me to get to work on designing my own stuff! (which i’ve been meaning to do for too long…)

[@VNM2023]

Wow soo happy to see the t-shirts sold out immediately!! Would love another launch please Kathleen🤞🤞🤞

[@CindyLou-jy9rb]

Ahhh!! They are adorable! So awesome they sold out so quickly!!! I hope to see more thrift gremlin shirts to pop up! I am pretty sure Ineed one in my life!

[@moonbasket]

Congrats on almost completely selling out already! I'm excited to see what you launch next.

[@christinajaimes7531]

Heck yeah! I’m so proud of you! It’s so nice to see you feel accomplished because I (we) know how amazingly talented you are! I love this quote “If you build it, they will come.” And I think it’s very fitting for events like this. Thank you for the inspo and encouragement

[@johannabengtsson9929]

Hey! Well done! This seems like a true labour of love seing other people doing that makes me so happy! As a person who almost never follows through on my ideas I find this truly inspiring! Looking forward to the future of marge!

[@Wonderish]

So. Freaking. COOOOOL! Sold out in my size and can’t wait for the next drop!

[@pattyblom]

The tree shots 😍 Congrats on the shop launch, love the name!

[@daniellemuir9744]

Congrats on your launch lady! I check early this morning for you new video and it wasn't out yet, took a nap and came back and damn! They already sold out! So proud and happy for you!

[@MaryWilliams-c6j]

Yaaaay congratulations on an epic first drop! So excited for what you put out next 😄🫡❤️

[@menthalightfoot4948]

Love the designs and the font you used for marginalia! For me the limited nature is ideal - I’ll wait until *~just the right one~* for me comes up and then POUNCE, just like if I were at the thrift store. I’ll be so excited to see what you release next.

[@eline.de.allerbeste]

This is so cool! Unfortunately, my size is already sold out, so hopefully I’ll be able to catch one the next time you launch something or if you do a second run (fingers crossed for that, because these t-shirts are awesome and I want one!)

[@dorotawoosz1397]

I have it!!!! The shipping costs half of the price of tshirt but I don’t care, I have it!!!!!

[@lauradellorto94]

So happy for you! I would've bought one but shipping to Europe is a liiiittle expensive for me, sadly 😢 but it's such a good project and the people who got their hands on them will sure appreciate the effort you put in it ❤ Also: the washi tape is so cuuute 🥲🥲🥲

[@trashgod7095]

my current goal project is to make one of those novelty vests i dream of finding in a thrift store some day, but instead of cats or holidays the theme is liminal spaces... pool room cardigan, ball pit cardigan, come home to me my beloved windows 10 rolling hills graphic..... its this or i buckle down and finish sewing this puppet but designing that has been so much more fun!!

[@brittwanderer4261]

These sold out sooo quickly stinky... just goes to show that you have this new business in the bag. Super happy for/proud of you ♡♡♡

[@citrusglitter]

The red with blue is PERFECTION. I'm a bad thrift gremlin and didn't have my measurements handy AND was at a doctor's appointment and by the time she left the room, everything was sold out. Crossing my fingers the red/blue resurfaces in a future drop!

[@kristagassib4702]

More we want more! ❤🎉

[@jessicawessler1057]

I am so flipping proud of you, girl! Look at you being a total boss babe. Oh, and HEY KASHI...WHO'S A GOOD BOI???

[@STRANGExFACINATIONS]

Dang! Sold out in every size and color in a few hours! Congrats Kathleen. Your hard work paid off. I’ll keep my peepers peeled for next time!

[@sweetestD]

I want metal lettering “Stinky” merch next! I WILL BE EARLY NEXT TIME!

[@cloudgoose]

the t-shirts and washi tape are literally SO good, Kathleen! you absolutely nailed it; items that feel deeply Kathleen, but also unbranded & fresh AF. I was both blown away and sad when I got to the vid this morning one hour after posting and the shirts were all sold out except XS. but blown away because WOW! Congratulations!!! you put so much love and care into this launch and it was such a success! the thrifted shirts? the hand lettering? the folding boards??? all so sweet and good. ❤❤❤ will definitely turn my notifications on if you do this again! also I might cross my fingers for a preorder?? 👀 either way, can’t wait to be here to witness the future of MARGE. 🎉

[@rebeccacarlson9458]

Made the mistake of watching the video before heading off to buy 😭 Sold out of my size 😭😭 Hopefully next time!! Happy for ya Kathleen ❤️

[@elbee711]

SOLD OUT!!! you are such a stinky queen. can't wait for next drop!

[@XxxBelladonna]

I am really happy for you, Kathleen. And sad for me that I missed the launch :(

[@loveandro6074]

The algorithm has been listening…my friend was just telling me I should go get secondhand blanks and design a fee. 😅 But I already know about that messy middle stall out because I have diagnosed ADHD so kind of keeping myself from getting excited. Sighhhh. However. This inspired me. I loved seeing your process and appreciate the demonstration and transparency. ❤ You’re superbly talented!! And the site is so cute - btw, what web hosting slash design do you use for your shop?

[@DirtyLittleRats]

I would love to see what shirts you design! indie designed shirts are the best!

[@maireadheffernan9943]

There are gone already 😢😢😢. I shall be quicker the next time hopefully. Well done Kathleen

[@ShizuItsugi28]

I'm so happy for you Kathleen! It's quite heartwarming to watch you develop this project from start to finish, keeping it as sustainable and ethical as possible. And the fact the t-shirt went sold out in hours, simply chef's kiss 💖 I hope in the future there will be other drops and that maybe the international shipping costs will be a little bit more affordable for my country (I tried putting the washi tape in the cart, but shipping was 20 euros 🥲)

[@daisyrose4123]

wow those went fast. xs people still have hope. hahaha

[@standdownrobots_ihaveoldglory]

Oh I love the design! I have some weird health stuff, high necks trigger GI issues (vagus nerve stuff, I’m told), but will keep an eye out for other options. I do know how to sew, but I’m so bad & I hate it so much…hmmm now I’m thinking tho, I *could* try recutting & finishing a bigger neck on a shirt from my local shop…maybe I shouldn’t sell the sewing machine yet! 😂

[@theprimordialoohs]

Whoa, thank you so much for this info! I've experienced chronic constipation and major pelvic pain for years, and pelvic floor therapy hasn't kept the issues at bay permanently - I was just looking into the vagus nerve this morning after my acupuncturist suggested the connection 🤯 Just wanted to say I appreciate you sharing this knowledge and I hope your journey is one towards improvement, too!

[@katiekat8235]

Thank you Gus!

[@MOTHsan]

SCREECHING international shopping even????? i am the luckiest man

[@teresasoundworld3103]

this is the most consciously responsible merch launch i’ve seen, thank you! 😊 ♻️ 🎉❤

[@B4nkruptt]

Thank you Kathleen!!! We LOVE YOU!!! X

[@ieltonjaune]

LOVE the tshirt design and especially the fact that these are thrifted goods that you made extra cool! I don't buy outside of EU for ecological reasons but that is the type of merch that I would definitely get!! kinda tired of seeing every creator on the internet popping with random merch creating new clothes, this is so much more creative and sustainable, love it!

[@meursaultscourtroom8886]

Spoiler, Kathleen knocked it out of the park!

[@patworfka143]

Marginaliaaaaa… there’s so much I love about this video, this launch, these concepts. 🤩🤩🤩

[@Cass63450]

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! Wishing you well for the next chapter of this new part of your creation process. Very happy that you sold out fast and also that you took the project from idea to reality. All the best from Germany!

[@kelseymyers4196]

Good Lord, the larger sizes went fast! 26 min in. Happy for you, though! Look at how many folks love your sizzle.

[@juliagrummel8884]

This feels like such a full circle moment!! So stinkin’ proud of my stinky friend! 🥹

[@plowmanroomefamily1611]

I was immediately like "you should have bought ALL THE BLANKS!" I'm in the UK and can't afford shipping anyway so don't feel as sad about missing out as I could be. If you ever did a digital version of the washi tape art I would snap it up to glue in my planner. Congrats on selling all the tees!! 🤩
