Thrift Flip! I DIY'd the LOEWE x Spirited Away collab✨🏮 w/ thrift store items | Studio Ghibli anime

[@KathleenIllustrated]

✨✨✨✨ Congrats on winning the giveaway, @Jessie Leonhardt !!!!!! ✨✨✨✨✨

[@ButtonGirl22]

Back for my third (?) rewatch because the Ghibli DIYs are some of my favorite videos by Kathleen (which means they obviously have some steep competition)

[@Shonty_makes]

This was such a great thrift flip! These kinds of videos always inspire me to tackle more creative diy projects (like the felting episode). 🪡🧶 My fave Ghibli characters are a toss up between Kiki and Princess Nausicaä...

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Ah Chante that is MUSIC TO MY EARS! So glad you like the crafty vids! You’re the second person to list those two gals - just a couple of girl bosses 🐛 🧹 Thanks so much for watching ❤️❤️❤️

[@theoddbody1856]

No Face is definitely my favorite character! I cosplayed him back in 2018 and even had little chocolate gold coins to try and give people. Some keen Spirited Away fans refused the gift like Chihiro had done, which was just so fun!

[@SugsDeLeonSugarCoatedChaos]

You did a wonderful job, Ponyo will always be my first love. :)

[@KathleenIllustrated]

🥺 ponyo!!!!!! (Loves ham). I need to rewatch - the underwater scenes are SO BEAUTIFUL.

[@ChannelRainey]

These are both so incredible! Really makes me want to start painting on purses! My favorite Ghibli character is probably Jiji. There's even a Jiji plushie sitting ten feet away from me right now.

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Yay so glad that you're feeling INSPIRED! Jiji is the best

[@erinrabideau3691]

I’m so amazed by the Chihiro embroidery! It came out so so well!!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Thanks Erin!! She’s holding up great 😊 👍🏼

[@HochDotCo]

I have to go with Calcifer. Burning bright with all the sass.

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Calcifer! And he eat the egg so good 🍳 🤤

[@topisama7312]

I love both Princess San and Princess Nausicaa!!!!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

two very powerful princesses!!!!! thanks for watchin', topi!

[@tessonaut]

You did such a great job with these thrift flips! Really inspiring. I’m jealous of your embroidery stand I’ll have to keep an eye out for one! Picking a fave Ghibli character is so hard. I love all the strong female characters but I’ll choose Sophie from Howl’s Moving Castle for today. I even read the book because I loved the movie so much. :)

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Aw Tessa thanks so much! Yes that lil embroidery stand was just PERFECT for what I needed it for! I’ve never read the book version of Howl’s - so cool!

[@savannahwoj]

Mei will forever be my favorite Ghibli character

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Such a tenacious sweetie 🥺 good pick!!!

[@WayneSmith]

I'm going to be lost in the sauce of all of your fan comments, Kathleen! I'm so proud of you for making such an awesome channel and keeping making all of these awesome videos every week. You're an inspiration.

[@KathleenIllustrated]

😕🙁😖😫😭 I’m not crying you’re crying! Thanks Wayne. I’m so glad folks seems to like what I’m doing ✨❤️

[@kami4975]

my favorite character from the studio ghibli films is definitely sheeta from castle in the sky! she’s like my childhood hero! ☺️

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Oh my GOSH kami you’re the first person to mention castle in the sky! Awesome choice 👍🏼

[@milly-y1t2d]

You crushed that!!!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

😤😤😤 thank you millie!!!

[@ATC.Tigerlily]

Luv it! 👏 I’m a Ghibli fan and this DIY sang to me 😊 Beautifully done especially the sweater! Omg 😮

[@jtam1289]

My favorite characters are totoro and chihiro! Also, love your videos 💛 they always inspire my creativity!!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

🥺 thank you so much for taking the time to say so! really appreciate it ✨❤️

[@Sarah-by2rt]

This was such a cool flip! I have a yearly watch of nausicca bc it’s my favorite ghibli movie and honestly the old woman in it is such vibes

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Thanks Sarah! I need to join you on that rewatch, I think I’ve only seen nausicaa once (but the graphic novels are so beauteous 🤤)

[@KataRaine]

Have to go with Calcifer as my favorite, but it’s so hard to choose!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Calcifer is a fan fav in these comments! We love a sassy sparky boy

[@Elizabeth-tr8xi]

It's a tie between basically every character in Howl's moving castle. I have to go with Howl and Calcifer for my top two!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

the dream team! 🦅🔥

[@shellisannes464]

The best flip ever!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

thanks shelli!!!

[@lizbethdane]

I am thoroughly impressed!❤

[@Dustinlove102]

0:18 purse in the middle 🖤🖤🖤 Kiki or the Susuwatari (Dust Sprites) ✨✨✨

[@Tackleboys]

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Omg this really inspired me to try something similar in the near future! As for the giveaway .. my fave will forever be the soot sprites hehe.

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Yay I'm so glad!!! Soot sprites 4 ever & ever & ever

[@asaalonge4338]

I know the giveaway is over, but I gotta comment so the all powerful algorithm boosts your videos to every person!!! My favorite ghibli character is a tie between Howl and Sophie. But I'm also a sucker for the bathing ducks in spirited away. Love your videos!

[@watdavedoes]

[@pan1yo]

I'm definitely going to paint my own purse, both of your no face one's turned out so cute! I think my favourite character would have to be Howl from Howl's moving castle, he's so dreamy. But ashitaka from princess mononoke is a close second

[@KathleenIllustrated]

You totally should, preti! Howl is definitely a fan favorite hehe 😉 I think I’m on team ashitaka, myself! Thanks so much for watching ❤️✨

[@alissonvonderlane862]

Awesome work!!!😍

[@jessestrenfel7203]

I love these!! My favorite ghibli character is San but it's so hard to choose honestly

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Thank you for watchin’, Jesse!!! San is a great choice 🥳👍🏼

[@gabbyjulius]

I’m obsessed with the Chihiro sweater!! Where did you get the Chihiro pattern from please?! 🙏

[@SuperHellokitty1973]

Brilliant

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Thanks a bunch! Love your username by the way 😍✨

[@HumanimalChannel]

I couldn't possibly name a character. We did however just do the same thing to our hair, similar colour, I put mine at the ends though. Gad knows why. Great result on the sweater!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Thanks so much! 🪡

[@Waterpixelz]

Omg this is so flipping cool ✨ I’m off to the thrift store now- 🏃

[@KathleenIllustrated]

🏎️ 💨 !!!!!!! God speed!!!!

[@paoladigiulio2543]

I must learn to embroidery, love it, in my house we love Howl moving castle and kiki delivery service.

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Ahh two great ones

[@isabelledeambrosio7244]

[@KathleenIllustrated]

[@krsextonart]

Amaaaaaaaaazing

[@95JessBess]

It's a tie between my sci-fi buggy girl Nausicaa and my twitchy witchy gal Kiki ✨🥐🪲

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Oh YES two sides of the same coin!!!! the croissant emoji TT_TT too cute

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Jessie! You won the giveaway!!!! I messaged you on IG

[@alyssacusumano31]

Hihihi im new here, my fav character is probably ponyo or howl!!! Loved watching this video btw you are so talented :)

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Hi Alyssa! Welcome to the 🎉 party 🎉!!!! Great character choices 👍🏼

[@emilyhartgrove3666]

I came here from your post in the discord and this is truly amazing! Your DIY skills, your editing, your pupper!! About to binge all of your other videos. My favorite ghibli characters would have to be Calcifer and Howl 🔥

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Omg hi fellow ratty!!!! Thanks so much for the encouragement! 💋 🔥 🍳

[@sj-el4lu]

I'm inspired to make a Chihiro sweater of my own now, despite having no real embroidery experience! 😅 I realize now, though, that the image you printed must have been traced digitally and arranged to fit the paper. Would you mind sharing that digital file at all? If not, no worries, I'll try my best to trace it too!

[@trusillabrown7548]

Hello, I honestly just discovered you here on you tube. I wish I found you earlier so I could join the give always. Your videos are so awesome I been watching the vids for a few days now. I subscribed and your artsy, thrifty self is so awesome. I'm glad I found your videos. Also thanks to keep I found you!!!❤❤

[@KathleenIllustrated]

You’re so sweet!! Thank you for being here 🩵🩵🩵

[@hollyhrywnak2478]

Did you try putting the purse in the freezer? I heard it neutralizes smells! I'd stick it in a ziplock bag, put it in the freezer over night and then see what you think!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Genius! I’ll try it.

[@cb8456-y1j]

Soooo tough to choose a favourite character but Princess San has always been very special to me as Princess Mononoke was one of the first Ghibli movies that I watched and she really stood out to me 😄 Otherwise Kiki and Jiji are a close 2nd ✨ LOVE the thrift flips and your embroidery stand!! ❤️ I didn't realise I needed one until I watched your video 😂

[@KathleenIllustrated]

✨❤️ thanks so much for watching, Carmen! Those are great character picks. & yes isn’t that embroidery stand great?! I bought it kind of on a whim at a goodwill and it is the perfect little tool.

[@magpie06]

Amazing thfit flips! Wow! Those are absolutely beautiful! My fave Ghibli character is Tatsuo Kusakabe because he reminds me of my brother-in-law Tetsuro because his name is similar and because when Tetsuro was younger, he looked much like Tatsuo! So...this is my giveaway entry 😊

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Aw Cindy thank you!!!! Tatsuo is such a sweety ✨❤️ hope you’re well, friend!

[@lizdavis2893]

Ashitaka. Honestly, I have no idea. I just wanted to enter to win the awesome bag for my grand daughter who loves ALL the characters. 😆

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Ha! Don’t worry, he’s a good choice. A feudal prince trying to save the world through ecological conservation! (Okay that’s very simplified but you get the idea). Thanks so much for watching & entering for your granddaughter!

[@noahs4058]

I couldn't love your channel more. From a fellow (reluctant ) Ohioan 🐏

[@Bchloe707]

I’m going to tackle the embroidered sweater do you have link or what did you search for the image? ❤ in love with everything!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Glad you liked it!! I would search “embroidered chihiro sweater Loewe” good luck!!

[@taylordurnan1931]

I’m gonna have to agree with you and say Kiki from Kiki’s delivery service 🥰

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Yes! Kiki was the first Ghibli film I saw and you just can't forget your first love, you know?

[@mariecloutier3548]

How do you take the stabilizer out of the sweater? Do you cut it out? Love your videos.

[@KathleenIllustrated]

It rinses away with water :) thanks for watching!

[@joseespino4121]

Omg. This seriously makes me want to do this for some mens fashion hahaha. TOO many new hobbies and not enough time 🥹

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Do it! DO IT! I’m going to give Gus a thrifted makeover soon.. keep those eyes peelie wheelied

[@curlycue1983]

I think I could actually do these projects

[@KathleenIllustrated]

you totally could!!!

[@JJ-tf3mb]

These are so lovely!! Where did you find the chihiro to print out on the stabilizer? I'm so interested in trying to create this too

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Hi jj! I pieced it together from screenshots off of the site 😂 had to do quite a bit of photoshop magic. I’m not sure if I have the file still but if I do, I’m happy to share it. Feel free to shoot me an email 💕

[@NicoleRification]

Wow this is awesome! I like Kiki too! This is my giveaway entry! 🤞🏼

[@KathleenIllustrated]

[@ibethtorres1783]

You are brilliant

[@KathleenIllustrated]
