I recently did a little thrifting and have some a some fun ideas to share with you. I started with a list for a certain project and then found some great upcycling inspiration pieces!

Yes! Thank you!!!🤗💞💞💞💞
Like everyone else... cant wait !!! 🤩🥰
Thank you so much!!!🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗💞
Love a good haul! Such a fun style video, it’s like you’re talking to us all like you would a good friend 😉😁🥰!
That is a wonderful compliment! I feel you all are my friends🤗💞💞💞💞
I had a crap day yesterday and I felt defeated till I saw this video. Your enthusiasm is contagious.
Aww we all have crap days, they pass though!🤗💖💖💖💖
Excited to see your next project!
When i was in Dallas for the Dave Matthews concert I went to the biggest Saint Vincent DePaul thrift store I've ever seen!! It was so big that I was a little overwhelmed! But I found a few really beautiful items and because of you I picked fabric, which were pillow shams, that I normally wouldn't not have. Heavy upholstery fabrics. I am inspired by the beautiful bags that you make!! So I will give it a try soon!
Right now I'm in recovery. Watching from bed today. Oddly enough, I had a rare type of heart attack called scad. I'm pretty young and very healthy, but emotional stress caused it. My youngest son of 35 passed away 3 weeks ago today. Then 4 days later I had the heart attack. But God is with me and he is a very good and loving God. Thank you Tracy for your sweet spirit!
Im sorry that your Son passed away. He was so young. YES stress is a killer. I've had three strokes in the past 2 1/2 years. Before that I called myself healthy. I'm trying my best to not listen to ANY negativity. I sage my house once a week and pray to keep the negative energy away. Good luck to you on your healing. ✌🏻♥️
@@diannenaworensky6698 thank you sweet friend 🕊️💖
Sending you hugs and ❤.
I'm so sorry about the passing of your son, you sound faithful and I hope that brings you some peace. I'm happy that you are seeking to still find joy. Speedy recovery, sweet friend.🤗❤❤❤❤❤
🤗❤❤❤❤❤❤
I buy numerous dresses etc at goodwill for the fabric. It’s far cheaper than the fabric store. Love all your great finds💕
Yes! I agree!!🤗💞💞💞💞
Definite score on the cute summer dress. Thank you for showings samples of the floral clothing and how you add stabilizer to the lightweight ones. I would have passed on them before due to the weight. Can't wait for the overall tutorial 😃
Thank you so much!!!🤗💞💞💞💞
Yes I would have passed on the polyester too, but her stabilizer plan is a great tip ! It Will expand my horizons ! Oh and that Dress is CUTE!!!
I work at a thrift store.
We get some amazing clothing that is perfect for re- doing.
You are soo lucky!!!!🤗💞💞💞💞💞
What a fun and prosperous shopping day!! 🎉
Yes! Thank you!🤗💞💞💞💞
Love your overall find!😊 excited and look forward to sharing your project completions!🎉❤
Thank you so much!!!🤗💞💞💞💞
Those overalls I can’t wait for. Those flowers will look awesome on the overalls. You could even use your stencils on the fabrics and trace them out. Listen to me, the one who has a hard time cutting up lace fabric😂😂😂
Aww it's a good idea. Have you been able to cut any lace?🤗💞💞💞
Not yet, I went to the goodwill yesterday and bought a lot of lace fabrics. I’m going to do it. I’m wanting to make a long bed skirt. Trying to figure out how long and how many layers. I was thinking of putting flowers on it. The once you have on your curtains. Now I just got to do it.
Can't wait to see the new projects! You definitely have good ideas 😍
Thank you!🤗💞💞💞💞
Look forward to seeing what you'll do with those lovely fabrics. I've always liked paisley, thanks for sharing:)
Thank you so much 🤗❤❤❤❤
OOoooh, exciting projects coming up. Yay.
🤗❤❤❤❤
Wow, I love all of your thrift finds beautiful. The dress looks amazing on you. I’m so excited about your future projects. I know that they are going to be amazing. Thanks for sharing.💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Aww thank you so so much!!🤗💞💞💞💞

0:29 ❤ love the dress you're wearing looks good on you! I sure hope you take all of us with you on all you're new projects!😊
I plan to, thank you so much!🤗💖💖💖💖
I really love that you upcycle the fabrics from thrift store finds. I also recently looked through a couple of fabric stores for large florals. Impossible to find! I did order some from "Spoonflower". Good prices, excellent fabrics. I got the regular fleece. It's so soft and dreamy to work with. It's not a polar fleece, it's thin and appliques wonderfully. I used basting spray rather than pins. My fingers are grateful. 😊🤟
Great tip! I looked at fleece, too. The fleece fabrics have such fun patterns!🤗💖💖💖
That dress will make a great duster. Fun finds. Great fabrics, love the textures and designs.
Thank you so much!!!looking forward to designing a fun duster!!🤗💞💞💞💞
Ah, wow! Beautiful fabrics…
I love Paisley♡
Thank you!🤗💞💞💞
Can't wait to see the upcoming projects !!!!! I also loved the denim shorts that you showed....those were super cute !!!
Thank you so much 🤗💞💞💞💞
The Goodwill Bins has definitely become my favorite fabric store. I can't wait to see your next project
Yes, love that!!!!🤗💕💕💕
Love that paisley patternef fabric too
Same here. Couldn’t find any good flower appliqué material at the fabric store so went thrifting and found just what I needed on various clothes, bedsheets, etc.
Yes, it's so amazing what you can find!!!🤗💕💕💕
Can't wait. I wonder if you could do a tutorial on how to add to a ready made purse all that fringe
Thank you🤗 I've never figured out a way to do that and make it look nice.💞💞💞💞
Wow, lots of fun goodies!! I can't wait to see what you do with it all, I know you'll make some great stuff! I just bought some black bib overalls and I think I'm gonna do the bleach squirt bottle on em since they are 100% cotton. Thanks to you I've already finished two black cotton shirts made into masterpieces!
I love that so much! The black bibs sound like an amazing project!!!🤗💞💞💞💞
Great haul! Whenever I go thrifting I am always on the lookout for great fabrics. I can definitely see that black dress as a duster
🤗💞💞💞💞
Traci, I can’t wait to see your coveralls with the appliqué and the dye trims, I think they’re gonna be beautiful! I love all the colors that you bought. They are right up my alley! ❤❤Judy❤❤
Thank you so much!!! I'm having a lot of w them so far!🤗💞💞💞
Oh I just want to go shopping with you what fun!
Wish you could!🤗💞💞💞💞
Love these “ how to find what you need “ at Goodwill, thrift shops… doesn’t matter size… men’s or women’s clothes, it’s all material! I’ve learned so much from you🥰
Love that! Thank you so much 🤗💞💞💞💞💞
Ove the black/brown dress! Can't wait to see what you turn it into! 🖤🤩👍
Thank you!!!! I'm wrapping up a couple of projects, but I'm so excited to sit down and design something for it!!!!🤗💕💕💕💕
Great bargains! Can't wait to see what you do with them. Would you consider doing a backpack sometime? Even though my daughters are older, they and their friends love their backpacks!
Great idea, I've never done one, but willing to figure it out lol🤗💞💞💞💞💞
Can't wait, you are brilliant. Margaret Redmond from Ireland
Thank you so much!!🤗💞💞💞💞
Love a good haul! I went to the Goodwill Bins Outlet for the first time last week, and I got a magnolia print bedspread that has huge flowers, and a bed sheet set with patterned body and the top part is roses. Can't wait to work on something with all my fun flowers. You inspire me everytime I watch!! Thanks so much for sharing with us.
Sounds like you found some great treasures!! Have fun!!!🤗💞💞💞💞
You’ve inspired me to begin sewing again! 😊Thank you!
Aww I'm so glad, have fun!!!🤗💖💖💖💖
I can wait to see what you going to created with the fabric ❤
Thank you!🤗💖💖💖💖
What great finds Traci can't wait to see what you create with them 🙌 i love paisley designs ❤ takes me back to my hippy teens 💖
Thank you so much, looking forward to creating some fun projects🤗💖💖💖💖
Ooooo the duster project looks amazing, looking forward to that one too. You get some great items from your thrift shops, thrifting shops
in the UK are much smaller and so more difficult to find things that fit. ☹️ xxx
Thank you so much. 🤗❤❤❤❤
Can’t wait to see what’s coming…. ❤
🤗💕💕💕💕

Fail every time 😂😂
Lol!!😅I can relate!!! 🤗💕💕💕💕💕

Great haul! Love paisleys 🥰
Thank you so much!!🤗❤❤❤❤
Great haul!!! Anxious to see what you do with the white overalls! You must have the most fabulous wardrobe ever! And now you don't have to try to figure out what to wear to go to the dentist! LOL
Lol! Thank u so much 🤗💖💖💖💖
Kaffe Fasset fabric would give you big flowers!
Thank you for the tip!🤗💕💕💕💕
Great haul, you certainly had way more luck than me, I've been looking for 2/3 weeks now for some flower print and so far no luck... Can't wait to see what you do and that other project that new to you, I'm so intrigued. ❤
Thank you! It can be tricky to find the right fabric for applique. Have tried searching etsy for "fabric applique"? It can be a bit more pricey, though.🤗💖💖💖💖
I think I need to clean one of my upstairs closets out of my work clothes when I was much smaller.....lol There is a lot of paisley patterns in there and such!!! Tfs❤❤
Yes! Sounds like a treasure hunt!🤗💖💖💖💖
Stupendo !!
🤗❤❤❤❤
That J crew dress looks fabulous on you…. Very keen to see what you do with your overalls. I have tried lots of your techniques…and have been painting on fabric a little while now. I am not much of an artist but worked out how to trace on lighter fabrics by freezing my iPad screen. For some strange reason though I have a block when it comes to dying…bought some rit dye and it is sitting on my shelf…need to get onto it. Love your videos…cheers.
Once you get comfortable dying fabrics, it changes the way you look at projects...so many more possibilities 🤗💞💞💞💞
Super cute dress!
Thank you 🤗💖💖💖
I've been painting on fabric for years you don't need to use fabric medum to paint on fabric (have you ever been painting and accidently gotten paint on your clothes 😉lol ) what I usually do is water down the acrilic paint a bit and add some school glue. Also, I've stenciled tons of thing before on fabric and other things. the best thing I've found for applying the paint is the old-school makeup sponges the ones you can get at Walmart super cheap for like a bag of 50 for s few bucks. They give you more control over how much paint you are putting where and you can get corners and tiny places better with out the paint sneaking under the stencil.
Brilliant tips!!!! Thank you 🤗💕💕💕💕
Christmas!!!!

Sou brasileira, moro no Rio de Janeiro. Lhe acho muito criativa. Tudo que vc faz é lindo e com muito estilo.
I appreciate that so much! Thank you 🤗💖💖💖💖
The dress looks good on you.
Thank you so much!🤗💞💞💞💞
Yay!🎉🎉🎉
🤗🤗🤗💞💞💞💞💞
@@tmyershandmade978i love the last dress, green one.
❤
Plz plz plz do something with T-shirts that is not just cutting or dyeing .. I have searched and searched for some unique ideas of being able to use a lot
Of T-shirt’s that are not comfortable because the necks and sleeves Feel too confining after
Getting use to more stretchy fabric but I love the appliqués on them .. live your videos !!
After I watched your pants video - which has been removed - I looked for floral fabric at those two stores and found nothing too. I ended up buying some online that is amazing. Pants in progress.....
Glad you found some, it's a little tricky!🤗💖💖💖
Hi Traci, love your fabrics. As a new thrifter I’m learning not to jump in too fast. So far I’ve brought discolored skirts that I now have to dye. Torn tops, or fabric too thin or have holes! Not happy about that. Do you inspect everything you buy? I will continue to shop only now more careful!!
i feel like i need to reevaluate the way i thrift. i never shop with a list. the result is more than one rubbermaid tote, filled with white eyelet items, that i bought to deconstruct and upcycle! and stacks upon stacks, upon stacks of fabrics i saved from the garbage of a drapery workroom. and, i cant forget ALLLLLL of the others things i've thrifted, because "one day i'm going to do something with this" fabulous fabric or trim. you need to make a trip to louisiana and help me go through it all!!
Omgosh spending a day going through your stash would be so fun!!!!🤗💕💕💕💕
@@tmyershandmade978 I have so many Lilly Pulitzer items that I've thrifted. I've made 2 crib sized quilts, but want to do some clothing with it. Trying to incorporate colors that aren't typically shabby chic or boho, is difficult!!!
❤❤❤❤
🤗💞💞💞💞
Hi Tracy I love your channel,you explain everything in laymen’s terms & lots of added tips..Our charity shops in the UK are much more expensive now,but I source a lot of clothes from eBay or car boot sales( equivalent to your garage sales) I’m a novice sewer and looking to buy a new sewing machine,do you recommend the model you currently use?
I've used my model of machine my entire career. It's affordable, lightweight (I travel with it sometimes) and user friendly.🤗💕💕💕
Our Dear Ms. Myers: Please do the dress/duster first!
•Also, will you ever be getting a PO box do you think? I would love to be able to send you pix of some things I have been working on, and I bet others would, too!
•Great haul, the dress you are wearing looks fabulous!
•And when you saw the pillow case you said to yourself, " You will be mine! Oh, yes, you will be mine!" 😂🤣😅
• The dress with flowers and paisley gave me an idea for when using it for jeans patches: cut a rectangle of the surface fabric. Then cut a rectangle out of the lining fabric, 1/4 inch larger in all four sizes. Center the surface fabric rectangle on the lining fabric, then stitch. That will give you two layers of color coordinated fringe on all four sides! 😊
The last part I just have to keep rereading because I ain't gittin the jist of it.
@@tmo.48 So, for example: (you can use any shape, but let's say a square). The dress has a lining. Cut the lining into a square 3 1/4 by 3 1/4 inches. Then cut the flower/paisley fabric into a 3 by 3 inch square. Place the lining square where you want the patch to be on your jeans. Lay the flower/paisley square directly in the center of the lining square. Secure with pins. Then top sew the flower/paisley square onto the lining square onto the jeans about 1/4 inch from the edge of the paisley/flower square. As you know, Our Dear Ms
Meyers uses patches with raw edges to encourage fraying. So you will have the flower/paisley fabric with a quarter inch raw edge, and all around it you will have the lining square, color coordinated, with an additional quarter inch raw edge peeking out from behind it all the way around. Wish I could draw a picture for you! Does this help at all?
Omgosh! You sure make me smile!!!! I'm excited about the duster, working on the bibs at the moment. You can send pics to my email: sctrmcgill@hotmail.com
🤗💞💞💞💞💞
@@tmyershandmade978 Thanks! Did my patch suggestion make sense?
I will have to reread slowly🤗💕💕💕💕
🌟🤩🌟🤩🌟🤩🌟

That dress looks like it was made for you !! Question : If you don't sell anymore, what do you do with all these finished projects ?!? :)
I wear some, I hope to take them to a market someday or have a sale at my house.🤗💞💞💞
The blue dress is a long kurta from India, Pakistan area
Thank you 🤗💞💞💞
I'm looking forward to seeing what you are up to with the " something you never done before" I just finished my first purse. Is there somewhere I can send you a pic. I'd love an honest critique.
Thank you! I'd love to see a pic. You can send a pic in my Instagram dm's: traci_myers

Hi Tracy. This is off topic from your video. I upcycled a pair of jeans in the shabby Tracy style with patches and the works. But how did you finish off the insides. I feel like mine look really sloppy on the insides.🤷🏻♀️ thanks for sharing all of your knowledge. Your amazing.
What looks sloppy, the frayed edges?🤗💖💖💖
@@tmyershandmade978 Oh not the frayed edges on the outsides and hem. I love those! But the inside of the pants leg. (The patches and stitches). Or am I getting to OCD here? 🤣
@@cyndinash276 aww I'm not sure🤗💖💖💖
@@tmyershandmade978 thank you Tracy.
