I can't tell you how much I enjoy watching your videos. It honestly is like watching home videos of myself from the 1970s. I was born a redhead and had a delicate figure like you, and I was a true hippie at heart. Took long walks in the Colorado mountains, painted, made jewelry, listened to fantastic music like Yes, Moody Blues, Joni Mitchell, Led Zeppelin, and so much more. I sewed bell bottoms, skirts, and gauze blouses, and wore huarache sandals and flowers in my hair. I'm 65 now and even after a career, children, and marriage, I haven't changed a bit...except my red hair has turned white! So thanks for these lovely, peaceful videos! 🌟
Your words make me so so happy, I can’t even explain! I feel very blessed to be able to connect with you in this way😍❤️ I aspire to be like you! And omg Colorado mountains!! My absolute dream😍😍😍 really want to live by mountains to have long walks and enjoy their beauty! P.s i will put flowers in my hair in the next video inspired by you!❤️🥰🌸
Hey Cindy. I was a little hippie in the Ozarks in the 70s. Im turning 63 this month. Still got my guitar and dulcimer. Still dress the same way. Why not be happy, right? Blessings. Collette
I'm 69, English and like you I enjoyed that glorious hippiness of the 70s. It was a magical blast from the USA for us in Britain though for you in the US it had serious social and political connotations. The effect of that era still lingers here! I still sew my own clothes, furnishings etc. constantly recycling stuff. Our children are grown up. My husband and I own an old cottage with a large garden. I love to grow my own veggies, fruits, flowers and herbs. I let the weeds grow to serve the bees and insects. All in all I've never let go of the hippy ethic of loving the planet and being as self sufficient as possible. Just last week a perfect stranger looking in the same shop window as I was asked me if I was a hippie. He was our age and looked cool and youthful in his denims. He told me he'd lived in the US at the time of The Hippie and had been disappointed that though he was near Woodstock he couldn't get into the festival because all the roads were blocked with cars going there. Finally, keeping chickens meant I had eggs all through lockdown when they became in short supply that's Hippie Power.
I love these SO much. I lived through the 70s and would have definitely worn these! I would today too. I'd seen this video before, but revisited it today and I'm so glad I did. I recently made a pair of bell bottoms by inserting fabric triangles on the outside. Mine had flowers with pink, cream, purple and teal colours in them. They look great, but then I was trying to figure out what top I can wear with them. Everything seems to clash and I was feeling like I'd be limited to a plain colour top. Then I watched the beautiful blouse you wore with yours and realised it doesn't matter if the fabric in the bell bottoms doesn't match your top. You're such a free spirit, keep creating - I love your style, and your videos. :)
I cannot even begin to tell you what a brilliant idea this is! I was tired of my skinny jeans and after seeing this video I am truly so inspired!! :) I def want to give it a go tonight when I have some downtime! Seems straight forward enough :)
I love your ethereal films. They are soothing to watch. What you do is lovely and it all works out! You've re inspired me. I like your painting on fabric idea, quicker than embroidery or provides a base for a few stiches of embroidery which can be added later.
You did an amazing transformation with those jeans! I´m certainly feeling inspired to mess with my own old clothes... Great job girl, hugs and blessings from Uruguay!!! 🤩☮🤩
Yaaaay! That makes me so so happy, hope you will have a lot of fun messing with your old clothes! There is nothing that brings me satisfaction more than giving new life to old pieces! 😍❤️
I love your style!!! I make my own bellbottoms 2!! People don't believe I can make them. Although I glue mine. No frays on mine! Only I know how 2 make them crisp n close to perfect!
I wonder if you know of quality fabric paints that are based in natural material for making the pigments but actually stains fabric? Id love to do this. Thinking of cutting out shapes of natural fiber and then dying w plant dye and sewing designs on the jeans that i cut into flare pants 😍✨🌼
Thank you, my dear! I used whatever i had on hand haha, which means acrylic paint, not the best choice but it is still looking good. Best would be, of course, fabric paint, but i also found the oil paint to work good on jeans. But with oils you need to be careful, if paint is too oily it can leave the stain on the back panel as well, so cardboard underneath is a must☺️
I know this is very late, but I have a pair of jeans I want to do this with and I think it will be too short if I flare them! Is there any workarounds I could do?
if they are normal length now, I don't thing they will be any shorter when flared, but if they are too short to begin with I would in the end add ruffle on the bottom to achieve the desired length☺
@@MayLinathank you so much for the quick reply! I love your videos and will start looking at fabrics 🥰🌞 Edit: I’m actually planning on lowering the waistline of them which should fix any possible complications length-wise :)
Thank you, my dear! I don’t sell upcycled clothes (at least yet haha), but will be glad to help you make your own☺️ Yes, it is acrylic pain that i had laying around, it is not the best, but works. Also i’ve heard recently that if you apply heat to it with iron it will be holding stronger. Haven’t tried it tho☺️ Previously i used oil paint on jeans fabric and it holds very well, but of course, fabric paint is the best
I figured out in my painting days that if you get acrylics on you clothes it will stay no matter how hard you try to wash it off haha. So in my videos i tried both regular acrylic and oils, but yeah it requires careful washing. Oils, in my experience, do stay better tho. But if you don't want to think about it as much there are tons of fabric paints that will do the job probably the best!

There are no mistakes in art only opportunities for creativity.

Hello I love these so much! What paint did you use ?
I wonder if you know of quality fabric paints that are based in natural material for making the pigments but actually stains fabric? Id love to do this. Thinking of cutting out shapes of natural fiber and then dying w plant dye and sewing designs on the jeans that i cut into flare pants 😍✨🌼
I liked and subbed. Thank you and bless you doll.
Beautiful😻
Thank you🥰
Hello, love your video, you are very talented. I have yet to try painting on fabric. Are you using acrylic paints or watercolour? Thank you!🙂
Groovy. ✌️😁
❤️ it
Hello new to your channel. Love Love Love this video! so beautiful
Awww, thank you, my dear!😍 glad to see you here❤️

Hi what paints do you use please?
Beautiful. Can I buy them? Was it acrylic paint? Need to know, cuz... I'm going to try it. Or was it fabric paint or markers?
Thank you, my dear! I don’t sell upcycled clothes (at least yet haha), but will be glad to help you make your own☺️ Yes, it is acrylic pain that i had laying around, it is not the best, but works.

Can you wash the jeans with this 'not fabric paint' on?
i was them turned inside out on a gentle cycle and they are doing all right, but with time they will require some touch ups i think
@@MayLina so much inspiration! Thanks so much!
Which country are you from?
What kind of paint to use that won't wash off when put in the laundry?
I figured out in my painting days that if you get acrylics on you clothes it will stay no matter how hard you try to wash it off haha.
