I loved the checkerboard shoes! This makes so much sense to do with shoes that are really scuffed because they are less appealing at the thrifts and more likely to go to the landfill. Thanks for the inspiration 💜

[@WellLoved]

yes exactly! it's a super fun alternative to getting them refinished and giving them a new life!

[@Sunny99926]

That jacket???? Omg i want one right nowww😭😭

[@WellLoved]

right?? so cute!

[@KatherineYoung]

Ok THIS might be my favorite thrift flip you have ever done because it was accessible and you listed out all the products so well! I love that I can do this without lugging out my sewing machine and as a plus-sized lady so many thrift flips rely on extra fabric from larger clothing which just isn’t all that practical as someone who is a larger size.

[@eldinamuslimovic2412]

[@WellLoved]

thank you!! yes agreed - i'm really leaning into flips of just secondhand fabric or shoes, and more creative ways of upcycling pieces! I'm glad you enjoyed it Katherine!

[@ellen9274]

Who knew you could paint shoes??? I want a pair or checkerboard shoes. Fantastic.

[@joyfurnish8412]

WOW!!! Those shoes are so awesome.

[@Anna-ky7ix]

You are so creative!

[@WellLoved]

thank you!!

[@lisadowning1833]

The best flip I have ever seen.

[@WellLoved]

wow thank you!

[@chrissy24-7]

Those checkered ones are everything! Love

[@WellLoved]

right?? when i was hit with that idea i was like PERFECT!! haha they turned out super cute!

[@lindadodd3829]

Oooooo I wanted to see you draw with a black sharpie on the first pair of shoes!

[@WellLoved]

i actually have a pair of loafers from my last thrift flip video that i already did a yellow and brown show with a funky design, and i just wanted plain shoes for this one! i would slso not recommend drawing with a sharpie unless its oil based. paint markers work wonders though!

[@alisoneichler4257]

Very inspiring! I have a pair of shoes that I love but are pretty tired … I have nothing to lose by painting them. Yea!

[@WellLoved]

YES! there's nothing to lose and a whole lot of fun to gain! happy painting!

[@StirlingNash]

Just found your channel. Semi-experienced seamstress, have always wanted to try thrift flipping but never had the confidence. Thanks for some great ideas and encouragement to try some of these alterations. ❤️ your flowery jacket. Tres chic!

[@kyahgrigolon6724]

These are all amazing!! Now I need to find myself a jacket to paint flowers on!

[@WellLoved]

YES DO IT

[@CatherineSews]

Wow, no one would ever think you painted those shoes! Well done! And the flowered jacket is gorgeous!

[@WellLoved]

thank you!! yes - painted shoes are just the most fun!

[@celesterankin7221]

The shoes are cool but I LOVE the jacket!!

[@WellLoved]

thank you!

[@kelleyginter9390]

As a side note I love the bench in your studio!

[@WellLoved]

oh thank you!!

[@arvettadelashmit9337]

Both of my parents thrift shopped and up-cycled. I started thrift shipping and up-cycling in my teens; and, I learned how from my parents. My daughter (now age 51) has been thrift shopping since she was a little girl. Did you learn to thrift shop and up-cycle from your Mother? Thrift shopping and up-cycling are not skills taught at Schools.

[@WellLoved]

yes, my mom used to costume for theaters and so i would thrift with her and sit with her while she sewed!

[@tinaprice6090]

I love how creative you are with your clothes and shoes can't wait for your next video. Keep them coming ❤

[@WellLoved]

thank you!!

[@dom1219]

I’m obsessed!! Everything was so cute! Amazing job. I’m definitely gonna be attempting that flower diy on a denim jacket! ❤️

[@WellLoved]

thank you!! YES do it! i absolutely love this jacket now!

[@CrepeMyrtleRow]

This is amazing! I loved the jacket! In an antique store I recently saw where someone had taken jean jackets and added vintage doilies and hankies around the bottom and I thought they were fabulous! I have a huge collection of both and thought I would try it myself. Now I want to go paint some of my pieces!!

[@coolbreeeze6018]

Good stuff👍👍 I'm team crafty as well. I'm currently working on a splattered paint design on some kicks, I've been doing diy fashion projects for the longest most of my clothing pieces going way back to highschool was diy projects. Again good stuff and I'm looking forward to more of your diy fashions.🙂

[@WellLoved]

Yay for team crafty!! Ooh splatter paint sounds like a super fun idea! Thank you!!

[@hopealdridge1134]

Girl, you are amazing !!!! Great job...love the shoes but that denim jacket is AWESOME !!! Hope you have a great weekend !!!😻

[@charlenesmith209]

Lol!! Without looking at all of the replies, I almost said the same thing you did Hope!! Lol!!

[@lorrem2539]

Now why did I get rid of my white denim jacket☹️!? You are such a cutie Addie, love your style.

[@WellLoved]

[@plarsen2654]

The jacket turned out great! Looks cute on you too!

[@WellLoved]

thank you!

[@TheLadyTWells]

This is a great idea. I have always wanted to paint a design on a jacket.

[@WellLoved]

You should go for it! It’s so fun!

[@brendaelledge9702]

All of these are so amazing!!! 👍🏼😃😃😃

[@nommh]

Oh those shoes! I really need to remember this: I can buy black shoes at the thrift shop, because all I need to paint them. If you iron the painted pieces for a good 10 seconds a spot from the inside (not on the colour) you will be able to wash your piece on a gentle cycle. The tip of not painting over seams is so duh, but I never would have thought of it myself. Thanks.

[@WellLoved]

They all turned out so good! Thanks for the tip!

[@pamelafloyd5765]

Love, love, love both pair's of shoes.

[@janiefoglewohlerspantryand2102]

I love these flips but especially the denim jacket. Did you have to heat set it? Did you ever invest in an iron or do you still use your curling iron LOL

[@WellLoved]

You don’t have to heat set it but it does help the design to last longer! You can watch my thrift flips to answer that question 😋

[@janiefoglewohlerspantryand2102]

Looking for a seamstress in Charlotte, if anyone knows someone. Thanks!

Pretty clothes

[@WellLoved]

Thank you!

[@stitchingwithreena]

Nice

[@WellLoved]

thanks!

[@caroleprisk5068]

Why didn't you paint the 2nd green color on long strips before cutting? Seems like it would have been easier and less messy. Cool projects.

[@WellLoved]

Great question! Since the leather was thick enough to see the edges once they were glued on, I wanted all the edges of each square to be green. So they had to be cut before being painted!

[@mydeliciousfood]

Super👍👍🌹💞

[@WellLoved]

Thanks!

[@ccfulton22]

I feel like that type of paint is going to crack over time

[@WellLoved]

that's actually what the fabric medium and the leather finisher are for - they keep the paint supple and malleable so it doesn't crack!
