I hope this wasn't too chatty. I really didn't feel that I had to justify what I was keeping to you, I just wanted to tell you exactly what runs through my head as I declutter my personal spaces. And I will report back on how all the dying of clothes goes.

I like it when people talk in depth about their decision making process when decluttering! I also think it's good to be open as women about how our bodies fluctuate and why we might want to keep clothes that fit us better at different times.

I was shocked too! I hadn't expected much from this one, thinking that you keep things pared down routinely...in a tiny space. What could you possibly cull? What a surprise to not only see you make clear, sensitive choices about what to let go or not but the size of that pile in the end. I had no idea. Hearing you think through was helpful to me, as you allowed for a gray area rather than strict black-and-white, sometimes wasteful thinking ("ruthless"). And you had room for those keeps -- critical point. In fact, I was inspired to tackle a haphazard pile in my bedroom immediately afterward; not with culling in mind but simply to pick up, put away, and clean up the space. Tossed some leggings beyond repair. Great job, thanks, April!

Great declutter! What I’ve started doing is when I try on something and I don’t like it I immediately put in donate pile. I do the same thing with an item I’ve worn that I realize I just don’t like. I come home and straight to donate pile. Works with makeup and skincare, immediate decision, and no pressure to finish something that doesn’t work for me.

Before dying keep in mind that threads don’t take color! So be prepared to most likely have a contrast stitch. I dye a lot of different textiles, but stitch thread is almost always synthetic, therefore won’t take dye. I heard there’s dye for synthetics, but I’m not sure if it will work or not.

Fantastic wardrobe makeover! Inspired me to immediately declutter my closet. I think the reason going through a closet is because everything is a very personal, intimate purchase. Items that you put directly on your body. Also, clothes are a reflection of your taste and personality. At the end of my declutter, I ended up with whites, greys and blacks (obviously). Thank you for the motivation and inspiration of creating a beautiful wardrobe update!

@JoannaSelvan
@JoannaSelvan 11 ай бұрын
As for dying clothes, there are 2 types of dye- one is for natural fabric and one for synthetics. If you dye light colour t-shirt, like the everlane one you mentioned, with black dye, stitching won’t dye (it is made from polyester), so hem threads will be contrasting. If you don’t want that effect you will need to use synthetic fabric dye. What is the difference? Regular dye process is a bit easier. As for darks it is very easy to refresh them with fabric dye and it makes a big difference. When using black dye you may want to invest in dye fixative to use after dying process otherwise it is very likely that your re-dyed item will bleed dye when washed or when you sweat and properly setting the dye makes a big difference.

Tip about dyeing: if its not natural fiber, you need special dye which can be very tricky (i.e. the sportsset) and all seams will stay the color they are, since theyre also not natural. So maybe you end up with brownish-black Joggingpants with orange seams 😅🙊

She explains the container concept and her clutter threshold and how to figure out what that is for you. She also never asks the question, “Why?”. I’d be really interested in watching you go through your things again after listening to her ideas and the way she goes about decluttering.

I have a very interesting way to declutter clothes: I usually feel like I have to buy some sort of clothing item, when I have some unresolved issue in my wardrobe. Last time I felt the need to buy a lot of underwears. Turned out I had about 10% I would wear and the rest was just stuff I kept so I have enough. I am slowly changing out my whole wardrobe, so I have stuff I would wear anytime rather than stuff I have because I might need them.

Please mind, that seethrough materials are mostly seethrough after dying them, because the material is often too thin. As it is stretched, the people behind you maybe can see your undergarments while riding. 😅 But like the idea of trying to use items, or upcycle them. 😊

Thank you for showing your process. I've just found your channel. Can I say something that doesn't get said on other declutter and organizing videos?... People come in all sizes and for us plus size ladies, it's hard to use the little narrow ikea 4 inch deep drawers for clothing or the really small shelf bins. While I understand dropping down the amount of clothes that many of us have, the organizing products on some of them just won't work. It makes us rethink how on earth to do it.

As far as being chatty, I don't mind because even I catch myself doing it. It helps me clear my thought process and make better decisions that way. So don't feel bad about it. It even help us think as to why we should keep something, get rid of something or keep it for a bit longer if we are not sure. When you go through the deccluttering process out loud it helps us go through our stuff and reason it the same way. So don't feel bad about it.

This was not too chatty at all. I learn a lot hearing your thoughts on why you make the decisions. On the dye for your clothes be aware the dye might dye the inside of the washer a bit. You did a great job on decluttering your clothes.

Take those slacks to the tailor or your mom if she knows how to tailor. You can let out the back darts and either eliminate the waistband or add a little piece to it. If you wear a belt it will cover the added piece. I usually add the piece to the front and it works out perfectly.

Hi April, have you moved, please keep them chatty, I love and need your thought process, when I'm trying to make a decision I think, what would April say, I watch a few people who do decluttering videos, but I only listen to you, as you say, get rid of what you know you don't want, thanks April 😊

Where are you going to dye the clothes without making a mess in your small space? A basement laundry room with a was sink is the only place I would attempt this. Great work; everything looks so organized.

haha I bought the dye a while back and afterwards realized I had no where safe to do it. ...now I've got it all packed up for my next trip to my parents so that I can make a mess outside :)

​@@SpaceMakerMethodin Germany we have fabric dye you just put in the wshing mashine with the clothes you want to dye and a special powder that keeps the color permanantly in the fabric. You do a washing cycle with all that together and there is NO mess! You don't need a sink. There is no dye left in the washing machine, you can wash your clothes the next cycle without risk of staining it.

I did it several times, works fantastic. You can buy some basic colors in a drugstore at all times (e.g. black, denim, marine blue, one red and one yellow) and more variety on the internet. I love this technic. My mom dyed white bed linens into a beautiful blue and 30 years later they are still beautiful and the color didn't fade a lot.

Additionally you can wash the dyed clothes afterwards with vinegar for extra "fixation" (can't find the right word, hope you understand) and more radiant colors.

@erindixon2877
@erindixon2877 11 ай бұрын
I have found that stacking clothes just leads to more mess because the stacks shift and fall over when garments are removed. Using a basket and folding the items so they store like a file folder works far better and takes less time to keep organized.

you have to use a conditioning treatment or mink oil to soften leather. or wipe with alcohol until shiny, then apply vaseline. I tend towards a conditioner... but the smell from some conditioners and especially mink oil ( which is unethical so...) Is Really bad sometimes so you will need a place like your storage area to air it out for a While. I have never tried the alcohol and vaseline method. But it is probably the best for the smell factor.
