thrift flip ✨ I made a Gucci suit 😎 DIY thrift store upcycle! | thrift with me & Q&A

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Alright I've officially introduced myself. Now it's your turn! Tell me about yo'self. Where ya from? What ya like? Who ya be? ✨

[@melissarozalia]

Hi Kathleen, Thanks for the reply! So I'm from Belgium Antwerp, My english is not that good. But my boyfriend speaks english all the time, and in two weeks we gonna move in together in our new home. I'm 31 years old and i love thrifting sinds i was a 13 year old kid! I worked at the dentist, but tommorow i have my job interview for lab assistent and find better medicines for cancer, and immuno therapie. ( I lost my mom to cancer) Love the arty farty things, and weird things from the second hand shop. I lost my mom previous year and my dog 2 months ago, so i'm a bit off a compulsive buyer to fill up the gap that i lost. But okay it makes me happy! And i'm buying weird funny things to decorate our home. Btw love you're teapot! It's Amaaaazing❤️

[@abrilbedoya9274]

Hi I'm Abril and I'm from Costa Rica, thrifter, mother of 4 cats and one dog. I love to corchet and do some other crafts and recently I've been obsessed with reading my first manga which feels weird because I've never been near close to that or anime either 😅

[@erintheairduck]

Just binge watching all of your videos and wondering why it took me so long to find you. You have inspired me on so many levels! (Ps Those NuPastels on your desk just burst open a core memory of mine LOL I swear we had some in our stash of art supplies growing up and I’d always think ooo those are too fancy for me to play with. It’s that box! So recognizable. Maybe that’s also why I ended up as a graphic designer lol)

[@mesayingthings7063]

I appreciate and love your channel so much. It feels like Out of the Box, mixed with any kid show that asks a question and responds like we answered back. 😂 Adults deserve wholesome content too so it's nice. 🤩

[@KathleenIllustrated]

omg you can't be serious. that's the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me! I LOVED OUT OF THE BOX!!! 😍 I wanna live in that dang box house. Thank you!!! Glad you enjoyed the vid

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Do you also go feral when you're home alone? Or was that just the bleach fumes? 🙃

[@michaeltherealist.2208]

Funny, hmm bleach fumes.

[@abrilbedoya9274]

I tend to fry all my food when I'm home alone

[@lorienpatmore3520]

Good natured chaos, humor, original style that breaks the boring neutral Pinterest cookie cutter mold! Yes I’m here for it

[@KathleenIllustrated]

You get it!!! 🙌 Thanks friend :) glad you're along for the ride with me!!!

[@alexandrar.4071]

The fact that in Spanish the name of the jar it's like "whistle" but also a word to refer exactly what the handle looks like 😂 I had to saw twice if I read the name right. It was nice to know a bit more about you 😌

[@KathleenIllustrated]

LOL Alexandra I didn't know that!!!!!!!!!! That's hilarious, jeeze. Thanks for watching! lol

[@rachelrodgers3447]

SO glad someone else feels the same way about Village Discount Outlet prices! The one time "when I was a kid" is justified

[@searchforhortense8251]

i want to live and do art this way when I grow up...

[@graceelizabeth130]

I love love love your channel Kathleen. I love that you live near the woods and you can see deer from your house. I love seeing you creating things and I love your thrifting videos. I feel like your channel is so cosy and comforting to me?? Your personality is so nice and it feels like you're just being yourself, you're not showing off or flexing or something. It's just so so comforting and warm and I really love love love you and your channel!

[@TeamNinjaCaptain]

Hello, Kathleen! I’m an old mom with kooky aunt vibes from the hell scape known as florida. I love björk, pottery, vintage/thrift shopping, and nature.

[@KathleenIllustrated]

aw hi!!!! we love all the same things! glad to officially meetcha ⭐💙

[@Delkb89]

THIS IS SO COOL!!! Your creativity is beyond me-and I LOVE how this beauty turned out. Well done sister!!!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Girl!!! THANKS!!!! 🦈

[@mandyr5896]

That turned out great! I love the contrast of the solid collar and sleeves. The slight differences in the pattern too. It reminds me of other hand printed designs. Like batik or mud cloth maybe. I'm definitely feral when I'm home alone. Popcorn and almonds for dinner all the way

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Oh you’re totally right about the batik-ness! Feral critters UNITE 🤜🏼🤛🏼

[@invisible_design]

would love a day in the life video!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

aw thanks! i have one so far but would love to make more soon: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIOsl4Kqe7aHfqc

[@tara1638]

The handle! 😂😂😂

[@KathleenIllustrated]

lmao 👀🤔

[@flowerpot7067]

i love watching and thrifting vicariously through your videos, you helped me make the switch from buying new clothes to buying second hand!!

[@magpie06]

Oh yay I was born in Louisiana! Love Kakashi♥ Your checkerboard+stars suit looks very cool!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Aw fun!!! He's the best bayou boy. Thanks for watchin'!

[@vincentbriggs1780]

You can get thicker versions of bleach for stuff like this! It's called discharge paste! I don't know if there's any made specifically for block printing, but I know I've seen it used for stencilling and screenprinting.

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Thank you!

[@tara1638]

Kathleen you’re so talented. You should do some thrift flips with other you tubers and grow your channel! Well-loved clothing does great stuff. I also love Laura Von V she does great vintage. Nikki terry is also awesome. And BJones style. Just a few of my favs. ❤️

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Aw thanks Tara 💜 I'd love to do some more collabs in the future. Who knows what could happen! 😉

[@Jojobird31]

I just found your videos and I just decided you are my new youtube best friend

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Josephine!!!!!!!! Welcome to the bestie thrift club!!!!! 💕✨🌀

[@clarissafolks1533]

Love how it turned out!! Liked that you didn't do the sleeves so if you rolled them up it kinda gives a bowling shirt esque vibe which I personally enjoy

[@KathleenIllustrated]

:O you're so RIGHT. I also enjoy a bowling shirt. The cheesier, the better. Thank you for watchin :)

[@kattastrophy1]

Omg Kat, I love it!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

hehe thanks kat! ( ˘ ɜ˘) ♬♪♫

[@helenm1085]

I love your thrift flip projects! They remind me of my own upcycling projects, like I have a muted purple shirt that I printed white mushrooms on (with a stencil that I made), and recently I've been sewing bits of my worn out t-shirts over the logos of other, newer t-shirts. Almost all of my wardrobe is secondhand too! Watching you make stuff inspires me! I wanna make my partner some cool clothes next cause he wears the same thing every day and wants to branch out :~)

[@helenm1085]

O also I'm from Australia and I like to cook

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Oh COOL! I'd love to do something with my old t-shirts soon - thanks for the inspo :) Let me know if you end up making something special for your partner! What a lucky person he is ⭐

[@tara1638]

You are amazing! That outfit is fabulous!! Nice job!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@LM-uc5sg]

This turned out SO GOOD

[@joannacdunlap]

I love your projects! They always turn out so well. So unique and joyful!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Aw joanna! Thanks! ☀️

[@sharonwhitley2951]

So cool, that your sweet pup is from Louisiana! I live in the Lafayette area.

[@NicolePalmervlogs]

Loved how the blue suit turned out! It kinda reminds me of batik, but way cooler 🌊 🤍

[@KathleenIllustrated]

It is SO batik-y you’re right!!! 🤍

[@hinaynihorvath3926]

Kathleen rock that suit!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

🕺 aw 🕺 yeah 🕺 aw 🕺 yeah!

[@SweetieSuzanne]

Your suit turned out so well!!!!💙

[@KathleenIllustrated]

[@juliagrummel8884]

Love love loveeeeeeeee a good bleach dye. Gucci suit is amazing

[@cynyou1]

I would absolutely love to go thrifting with you in Japan!! It has been on my bucket list since I was eight!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Yay okay Cynthia! We'll do it!

[@juliagrummel8884]

House tour! House tour!

[@Aoreenable]

Youre amazing Kathleen!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Sheesh, thanks!!! 😳 I'm glad you liked it

[@anx1ety_prime]

have you ever heard of creating cyanotypes on clothing?? i feel like its right up your ally. its so fun

[@justcasey5228]

This turned out so good! I’m inspired! I can’t use bleach (fumes get to me), but I’m inspired to try this with ink… I’m heading out to the thrifts later this week, and am going to have to see if I can find something suitable.

[@justcasey5228]

Also: I was wondering what camera you use for filming? I’m trying to dip my toes back into YT/social media again after a hiatus…

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Yay I hope you find something great!!! For my camera, I currently use my phone and a DJI Pocket 2. I don't recommend it though - I'm hoping to switch it up soon :) I find that my iPhone captures really nice video/audio, though!

[@cyndybeller1306]

That is amazing!

[@Quathryn]

The suit turned out great!!! Thanks for answering my question! :)

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Hey you! Thanks for ASKIN'! 💙

[@95JessBess]

Ok this is so good!! You're making me want to decide what I should DIY in my closet. I've been meaning to make a dupe of the MEALS clothing funfetti chef pants. (If you haven't seen those I feel like you would love and would also make an amazing DIY version!) Also, I was home alone yesterday and went feral and had Pringles and a klondike bar for lunch.... 👀

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Those pants are SO FUN. I'm wayyyy into the baggy/cargo pants vibe these days so I'm going to keep my eye out for the perfect pair at the thrift! 👀 If you DO find something in your closet to DIY, I'd love to see the result! And helll yeahhhhhhhh feral girl summer 👹

[@greetingsfromcarra]

OMG you need to make a shirt with the same pattern for underneath, pattern on pattern

[@KathleenIllustrated]

!!!! Maybe I'll start with a white shirt and use the stamps with blue ink? AHHHHH

[@lorienpatmore3520]

I love it. It turned out so well !

[@happylovejojo1763]

that would be fun to watch.

[@DizzyLizziePop]

You would be my perfect dinner date. I had Chile lime pistachios, lemon iced tea and a rocket pop for dinner Friday night! My bf works evenings and Monday and Friday nights I have dinner alone. It’s been so hot I don’t want to cook. Always appreciating your creativity!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

LOL twins. no one can judge us if we're BOTH eating garbage meals. Thank you for watching!

[@DizzyLizziePop]

Hello beautiful lady with your very own style of fashion and that's why I have become a fan/friend here. Amazing story about yourself Kathleen. You have such an amazing heart, personality and soul. I am Michael Finley I live in hot as hell Arizona born and raised here. I am college educated but I'm not a college graduate. I attended Culinary School in 2015 and I started my original youtube channel in 2015 as well. But I constantly change my channel name and profile picture. Making up my mind is my down fall lol. I'm 57 years old since this April. I am very much a Taurus and I dislike fake and phony ppl including some of my actually family. I have made some enemies here but I keep everything moving. I am SMI serious mental illness but I am not a danger to anyone or myself or I would have myself committed to a Koo Koo room lol. I know this is private but I am just extremely, extremely honest. And I always speak the truth unfortunately...oh lart. Byebye and God bless to you, your 2 handsome men and your whole family and dear friends. P.S. My comprehension is very bad and so is my punctuation as you see. Lol Love and Peace always

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Hi Michael! Thanks for the intro! Glad you’re here 🙌🏼
