Girl welcome to the motherhood gang! Your body will never be the same but you created LIFE and style is meant to fit you, not the other way around (as you've been a fantastic reminder to me time and time again the last few years). So glad to see you back and creating again but also know that children = chaos at times so no stress if you're less consistent. Love you and your stuff anyway!!!!

[@WellLoved]

Haha thanks! I’m very well aware of the bodily changes and wouldn’t change a single thing about them! They’re the most precious reminder of my little man, and I see no negative to it at all! Just need to get some new clothes - which is never a problem haha

[@evanflood7038]

So wonderful to see you again! I’m glad you had those months off, without worrying about content. You are, indeed, well LOVED!

[@WellLoved]

Thank you!!

[@helenrenaud3460]

Hi! Love the granny square vest! Welcome to motherhood

[@WellLoved]

thanks!

[@lisa_wistfulone7957]

I’m so glad you’re feeling great, happy and creative! Congratulations!!!💖✨ From an older momma to a new momma, consider storing the clothes that were your previous favorites, especially if they’re unique vintage. For now, your personal style may be feeling very momma-centric, but as our kids get older, we find space to want our feminine fun and fussy loveliness back in our outfits again!💖🌼💝💫

[@WellLoved]

Thanks! Yup, already have a couple of tubs of clothes I’m not done with yet waiting for when I want to wear them again!

[@LadyWiggin]

You look great and motherhood really becomes you. Loved the thrift flips and I’m so inspired and looking at things differently now. Thank you

[@WellLoved]

aww thanks!

[@chandachapman2354]

So nice to see and hear the excitement you have when you have finished a piece!

[@WellLoved]

I get way too excited about it! I mean how cool to create something completely new that has been in your mind!?

[@catherineb6565]

Welcome Back!! So happy to see a Well Loved thrift flip this morning. 💙

[@WellLoved]

They’re so fun! Thanks!

[@margaretroberts6258]

So happy to see your lovely face again! Welcome back! The vests were adorable!❤🇨🇦

[@WellLoved]

Thank you!!

[@fuzzles93]

The quilt one is so cute and looks like it was meant to be with those little details you picked

[@WellLoved]

Thank you!

[@GiselleMetcalf-Grosso]

Everything is SO STINKIN' CUTE!! Great flips!

[@WellLoved]

Thank you!!

[@catherineb6565]

Me pulling out of the donation box 2 thrifted Martha Stewart quilted pillow cases that I'd intended to do something with but didn't know what to do with 'em... Hello little cropped vest! 😍 thanks for the inspiration Adey! OH! You can totally make a balaclava type bonnet with your granny square remnants - 1 for the top of your head, 2 squares coming down each side of your head over your ears and 2 down the back. Close up the front neck bottom with 1 more square to connect the lower left and right ear side flaps.

[@WellLoved]

Yay! It’s the perfect thing to do with pieces you’re not sure what to do with!

[@TriBeccaDesigns]

You are speaking my language by transforming quilted pillowcases into wearable art. I have made an entire collection of garments out of them. They are a great resource for making all kinds of garments that has been under used. Great job, congratulations, and welcome back!🥰

[@WellLoved]

Thank you!! Oh yeah anything quilted is my jam these days - really any bedding makes great project fabric!

[@sarahkinsey5434]

@@WellLoved There is debate about whether it's ok to make clothes out of quilts. Some say no, it's history and someone's love and time and money. My opinion is go for it, especially if it was donated or is in rough shape. Give it more life the way you see fit

[@abrilbedoya9274]

I missed your videos and your energy! So glad to have you back :)

[@WellLoved]

Aww thanks! Glad to be back!

[@helenharding1397]

Clever girl it will go with lots of outfits ❤

[@WellLoved]

So many styling opportunities!

[@twinnish]

I’m glad you’re back as beautiful and fun as ever. I was not seen your vision and then I did the colors actually go so cute together the patterns and the colors all of it. I like it a lot especially like that in the winter it adds a little extra layer of color and warmth.

[@WellLoved]

Aww thanks! I love the colors of that vest together too and feel like it was two different things that work really well together so I’m glad you see the vision now!

[@lindaherman2317]

You are so talented, it amazes me how you figure out how to do things. I love both vests but especially the first one, adorable! Luv the patterns.

[@WellLoved]

Thank you! That one’s my fave too!

[@sarahkinsey5434]

My brain likes quilting better, I think it's the geometry of it, so seeing people do thrift flips out of their heads is amazing!

[@KatherineYoung]

Oh this was so fun!

[@WellLoved]

Aww I’m so glad you enjoyed it Katie!

[@kellymaavich5815]

It’s so great to see your creative process- thanks for sharing! ❤ Ps- you can use a hand towel or bath towel folded up on your table as a make shift ironing board! My mom used to do this on the kitchen counter when she was quilting 😊

[@Lizzy_Mor]

I love the 'granny square' vest. It turned out great. The lime/yellow turtle neck is really great to show the 'granny square' colors in the vest.

[@WellLoved]

Thank you! That turtleneck is my favorite color right now!

[@titinok552]

This is so inspiring 😊 thanks you for being honest in your experimentation. 🙏 This is really helpful. It's looks possible even for beginner or when your are not so confident 😅

[@WellLoved]

Thank you!

[@jennypaxton8159]

I have one of those old thread-crocheted tablecloths/bedspreads that are such impressive work, yet totally out of style. I’ve been trying to make it into a sort of khaftan-style thing to wear over a bright-colored slip. Beautiful old crocheted home-decor stuff makes wonderful upcycling material! I love your vest!

[@WellLoved]

How cool! It definitely makes the best upcycles!

[@sarahhensley836]

These vests are sooo cute! ❤

[@WellLoved]

Thank you! I’m super happy with how they turned out!

[@irmaespinoza8908]

I've have missed quite a few of your videos. But I wasn't aware you had moved from that really cute house in North Carolina 🤷‍♀️The one you painted with nice colors & designed the entrance area with that funky cool graphic art. Missed when that blog was aired if you shared why you moved.

[@WellLoved]

Yup, we moved almost 2 years ago from South Carolina haha

[@rebeccakazdoy3198]

Loved this! And helps me to know what to look for at the thrift 💚

[@WellLoved]

Yay!

[@nef4319]

Amazing! I want one! How much? Seriously!

[@WellLoved]

Thank you! Sadly, these are just for my wardrobe, and I am not in the biz of creating custom wear right now

[@nef4319]

​@@WellLoved It was definitely wishing thinking on my part. I'll keep hope alive. LOL. Thanks for the inspiration. 💞

[@daisydukes8252]

I have a beautiful crochet dress that I inherited but it’s too small for me. I hope I can figure a way to make it fit me with a thin liner underneath. I don’t really sew and have done very little needlework but I really want to do it, so I will try.

[@WellLoved]

You’d should definitely try it! Sending all the good upcycle vibes!

[@daisydukes8252]

@@WellLoved Thank you for the faith in me, I’ll need it! That beautiful yellow crochet dress is just too good! I gotta try.

[@deniseramirez9706]
