Fall Thrift and Local Haul!

[@lynnock8003]

Black & grey fitted styles were always my go-to colours/shapes too. Now I'm 64 (and mostly silver haired) I find that browns & beiges suit my colouring better and looser fits are so much more comfortable. If I were being honest, I should have transitioned in my 40s, but pride (and working in a corp environment) held me back. Well done for trying it sooner than I did. You look lovely in your finds. 😊

[@lyndseybeaumont7301]

Lovely choices. You have a bargain wardrobe but no one would know. x

[@michelleskotynsky9426]

I love the dog is just laying there at 2:18!!!

[@cathtaylor2771]

You’ve bought some lovely things, thankyou for the tip on sewing the sequin top from the bottom up to meet where you stopped .

[@dar4835]

Yep, that's where I messed up on my tank. 😢

[@juliec4750]

I’m in love with that last outfit. Adorable! 💜

[@sonsandgrandsons]

You’re terrific Catherine. So talented. Great taste. Fun personality too.

[@sharongallagher3443]

Great selection of items. You have a new Fall wardrobe.

[@dar4835]

Your fall wardrobe is really great! I'm pretty jealous of the cashmere sweaters.

[@michaelsnider2484]

Fabulous haul! Here's a fool proof way to tell if fabric is silk. Try to get a couple strands or small piece from scrap or from where it won't show. Then light it with a lighter. If it smells like human hair when it burns, it is silk. If it melts, it's poly or some other synthetic. Really works!

[@CatherineSews]

You're absolutely right! Check out my video on fabric identification: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJSvlZ6qfqp6j68

[@sharongallagher3443]

Pant alteration looks nice.

[@ca6177]

Very nice finds! I need jackets like that!

[@kristinjacobsen3417]

Thanks for all the styling shots!

[@yasmeenfranky6282]

Love all your Thrrfting, you're great👏👏would love to do some Thrifting on my outfits., learnt a lot from you by following your video's... Thank you so much 🙏

[@dawnecamacho2601]

Good thriving. You got some nice pieces.

[@PatternStudio101]

Wow they are all lovely😍 My favorite is the long beige cashmere sweater. It goes really well with black skinny and beautiful on you!!

[@CatherineSews]

Thanks Jin! It's a lot of fun to thrift your wardrobe!

[@ruthbarmore5211]

I just loved this video! Such nice pieces and the way that you styled them was great. So much food for thought!

[@kathytierney3855]

Super cute ideas!

[@valeriecoopet9897]

You look lovely in the creams and browns! I think they flatter your coloring more than black or grey, at least on the camera. That second cashmere and cream sweater make your skin just glow!

[@meltemtuna2134]

All great! Thank you

[@rosemarymonty5399]

Lots of wonderful combinations. I am not favouring the boyfriend jacket as I think the shoulders are too big. I love how you showed exactly how you adjusted the pants and the lovely top at the end. Now I am looking to make some changes to clothes that I have purchased but never worn.

[@CatherineSews]

Good for you for thrifting your own wardrobe! I love that, and I do a bit of it in the video I'm working on right now. You might enjoy it so stay tuned!

[@karenwilliams4152]

⛷️🚠 I especially love the ski lift skirt. I hope you wear it a lot! Lol. You found so many beautiful things!

[@CHrisPetE056]

🎉🎉wow. Great finds. I loved the “ROCK STAR “ outfit. And the long sweater dress. I could live in that one. Thank you.

[@Cathy16011]

I love all the looks you put together from your pieces. Fabulous! Last year I thrifted a like new cashmere sweater from Neiman Marcus for $1.64! It was my first experience in the clothing by the pound section of Salvation Army. I don't know why it was relegated to that section, but it was a great find.

[@englishrivieravanessa]

Woohoo awesome video Catherine - yet more great little tips as you sew along and inspirational ideas for upcycling and making garments fit the look you after. Great work. Thank you!

[@bonnierobbins4230]

Awesome Finds!!😊

[@beverlyosborn5240]

You tick all the boxes. ❤👍💃🏽🧵🧵🧵

[@lindascott6968]

Such a fun video. Thanks

[@1wholovestrees]

Gathering the neckline to fit the bias tape-brilliant!!! I think the only thing you could change would be something done with the sleeves. For some reason, that’s the only thing that screams at me. I so much love watching your videos as this Old Dog always learns a new trick or two. Thank you!

[@lilaholland5764]

Love your finds! Love bringing all my finds together.

[@beverlyhale9687]

Nice sewing.

[@ArlenePMCM]

Wow, great video! I'm going to a resale shop and see what I can find. TY

[@hjccontest]

Wow, being a thrifter as well i am loving your finds! Got me thinking and excited! Thank you. Also not a brown lover lol screams 70's!!!

[@joannemcd1257]

Great looks, colors and style! Thanks!

[@lorrainedempsey3320]

As always, I luv, luv,luv your videos. Please keep them coming. Thx.

[@lauramcadam5751]

You are beutiful in the fall colors you picked out, they look so nice on you and match your personality!

[@CatherineSews]

Thank you so much!

[@annholmes9650]

Wow wish our thrift stores - called charity shops in the UK had cracking stuff like this! Having said that, I have had some decent finds. Love what you have created, thanks for sharing, xxx

[@kathyteague829]

Beautiful fall wardrobe! Just wear the cashmere turtleneck and rock it like Diane Keeton does!😘

[@conniegreen4337]

Love your fall haul! Maybyou can advise me. A couple years ago i bought a pair of never worn Pendleton fully loned wool plaid women's trousers (mostly grey with a touch of camel & winter white). I had originally planned to overdye them & use them as fabric in wool applique projects but i tried them on & the waist & hips fit perfectly. I think id get more use out of them if I could turn them into a pebcil skirt rather than leave them as trousers. The only pants into skirts ideas that I've seen on KZbin has the crouch lines ss part of the 'design' & looks very '60s hippy. These are way too elegant for that- think Katharine Hepburn. Thanks for all the great videos you've posted. Im sure your students love you!

[@QueenAmethyst55]

Those stripy pants look so good on you. Love the jumper & your neck grimace ...lol. It all looks great. Thanks for the tip with the edges, something I struggle with. Thanks for sharing all this! :)

[@CatherineSews]

Thank you, Queen! I made that grimace just for you, lol. Thanks for watching!

[@QueenAmethyst55]

[@alisonmccullough5387]

Love thrifting! You definitely got the look! When you get tired of the long cashmere look me up! ;)

[@vivianramsay2527]

Love the striped purple bells ! Had similar pants in wardrobe for college ala 1968 thru '71 !!😁😁

[@carilynjurgeson6178]

Love what you did with the striped jeans! I'm with you on the neck lines. I can't even wear most necklaces. I think you look good in the neutral camel and cream colors. TFS

[@CatherineSews]

Thank you so much!!

[@chrisharrison5974]

I buy lots of clothes from charity shops, high end labels are a fraction of the new price but have never thought of making alterations if a garment was too big. Your tutorials are giving me food for thought, I will now look more closely at items I like but need tweaking in some way. Xx

[@CatherineSews]

Definitely! Being able to alter clothing opens up the entire store to you!

[@DenBank1]

Some lucky finds! Love your t shirt print.

[@marygersetich8709]

I enjoy thrifting, but I'm usually not looking at clothes. Your video is motivating me to check out the clothes next time I go.

[@CatherineSews]

Fantastic to hear! It's the most sustainable way to dress yourself, and it's really fun!

[@vivianramsay2527]

You really scored! I personally loved all the brown pieces, as thats my go to comfort colors with touches of orange , peach, rust, salmon and pink. I guess I will use your inspiration to revamp my fall to winter clothes as well. I've scored a multitude of linen pieces that I really need to upcycle. Now I know how! Thanks again! 🤩👍

[@vorahstory8528]

Really good

[@AnneluvsKatz]

With your coloring the brown/beige family is a much better choice! You have some great finds there. Minus that big dark jacket… those shoulder pads make it way to big/sloppy on you… maybe rethink that one!

[@cm4107]

Beautiful score!

[@Maplecook]

Awesome, Catherine!

[@CatherineSews]

Thank you, my friend!

[@CatherineSews]

BTW, KZbin is missing you!!

Great re-sale is haul.WOW!!!

[@praisingirl]

So fun!

[@rebeccaburkett6870]

Why did you not use the serger for the pink items? The serger made much smoother seams.

[@darylshops]

I started making videos of the pieces i thrift at the Goodwill outlet (aka The Bins). Textiles sell for 1.89 a pound. I have to make minor repairs but i like doing that. I also like to play with my clothing, don't sew anywhere nearly as well as you do! #darylshops

[@lucilledaub5991]

That’s the only way I shop anymore is thrift stores. I can’t afford the regular store clothes anymore.

[@CatherineSews]

Thrifting is the best way to shop! I rarely buy anything new anymore, and I generally don't feel great about it when I do.

[@wowzieee]

Hello, new to you, but we are so on the same page of re purposing clothes.

Yes! Nice to have all like-minded people on board!
