    If you haven't thrown out the scraps from the brown pants, might I suggest you add a couple of triangle panels of that material to the side seams to get that A-line silhouette you're looking for? You could even do it on the inside seam so it's less visible?

Hellll yeah keep the crazy sexy cool content nice and steady- honestly at this point I think anything you produce would qualify imo, your personality is just so fun to witness.

Amazing! Love all the stuff you put out. You're my go-to person to have on in the background while I get stuff done, since I've binge watched every video you've put out at this point. Thanks Kathleen! Stay weird and stinky! :o)

    Hi Kathleen! I really love your videos, especially these closet cleanouts/diy projects. But I'm here to suggest you another topic you could make a video about, if you haven't done that yet. You often show parts of your house, but I would really like if you showed us the entirety of it, with maybe some infos about its history and decor style and pieces!! Only if you're confortable with that, obviously!

    Yes eBay is still an amazing platform and like so many different search criteria and filters.
    Also as far as I can tell they're ethics as a tech company who has existed since 1995 seem to still be pretty solid.
    They should probably update their aesthetics a little bit but either then that just amazing.

    So much fun and good clean work ethic!
    You could hang the other quilt above the bed (cinder blocks allowing) for a cozier/zanier feel in the room. Quilt shops sell wood clips for this purpose or you can whipstitch a 'sleeve' across the back for a suspending rod.
    Also some general tips for shorts for all from experience. Draw the cut lines on while wearing them (or have someone else do it) then cut about an inch below that. Try them on again and see where you need to even out to get the line you want when worn. Lady curves can affect the line. For a roomier fit on the trouser shorts, you can inset a triangle in the side seam from the extra fabric before finalizing the hem/cuff. Also, for cutoffs, machine stitch a straight line about a quarter inch from the final edge - that way they’ll fray but without disintegrating.
    Also I always machine wash rayon (even vintage) inside out on delicate and air dry, and it hasn’t been an issue?
    Looking forward to seeing all the closets/treasures! Off to check out your eBay shop...

    Baby girl, just throw the items in a washing bag or a pollow case and use the "gentle" program of your washing machine. I haven't washed anything by hand in more than a decade and I haven't ruined a single item, incl. bras and pantyhoses.

  • @verylikecheryl
    @verylikecheryl Год назад +1

    Pants that taper are hard to hem neatly into shorts but you can open the side seams to half the depth of the hem before you sew the hem and that generally allows you to add enough ease at the sides to prevent them pinching in. You also have to be really careful to turn your hem at 90 degrees to both of the side seams. Downtown Tailoring has a good tutorial video. Your shorts still look cute though.
