Denim and plaid. Tell us you're Canadian without telling us you're Canadian! You are an inspiration. Not only are your ideas brilliant, your execution is top tier. I'm learning so much from you and you have inspired me to get a scissors to my old unloved wardrobe. I'm feeling so good about it, thanks to you Catherine.

Brilliant use of textiles! I was so glad you decided to keep the jeans with wide legs. I was nervous, as for me, finding thrifted jeans that fit would be already enough of a triumph. IMO long skirts don’t get worn as much as well fitting jeans anyway. I had a really cute jean-skirt, but it kept pushing my underwear down, so that was enough of that! (I hope the mosquitos kept out of your lumberjack skirt at the party!)

The wide legged jeans bring back memories of the 70's. I remember making a pair of pants with bottoms at least that wide. My dad teased me that I could get my pants caught in the door standing a foot away from the door. Your jeans are cuter than my pants were.

I have a festival in the summer, and one of the bands we are going to see is a Scottish inspired Rockband, and everyone will wear their Kilts. I will make myself this lovely plaid skirt for that. I have a favorite pair of grey jeans that is ripped in the crotch,wich would be perfect for that, an also and old black and grey denim jeans I just couldnt throw out yet. So i can make the denim skirt as well.This inspired me so much, and gives me the bravery to tackle it myself. Thank you for that Katherine. Thinking of putting the buttons to be all in the front, and only sew closed the top part so I could have it open on the bottom as a slit :)

And they are NOISY when I walk through the office (which is quiet) - it's like I'm wearing corduroy or something!! So I appreciate on these wide leg jeans how you used the yardstick to mark and I did the reverse. Much quieter now!!

Hi from California! I love to sew, but I despise making clothes. I have an issue with instant gratification and so I gravitate toward easy projects like tote bags and items that can be made in a day or less. I hate shopping because I am 5' 1" and have a hard time finding clothes that fit and don't make me feel bad about myself. Your ideas of thrifting and upcycling covers both of my reservations. Thank you so much for posting these projects and giving me much needed inspiration. I love your channel!
