When I filmed this a month or so ago neither Kristina or I had found the small business that Shein ripped off despite both of us doing reverse image searches. I do want to call out that the bee design they feature is a embroidery pattern by Emillie Ferris that you can find here: www.etsy.com/listing/770835199/sweet-bee-floral-wreath-hand-embroidery. Support small businesses and avoid fast fashion the best you can!

If you thrift threads, put them in a zip-lock bag and place it in the freezer overnight. I don’t know why but I have found that it helps with refreshing the thread.

I love when creators work together across their channels! Thanks for sharing the original creator, Im sure they really appreciate that! It’s maddening these companies rip off small business artisans and use forced labor to make dupes with zero consequences…ugh… not buying from SHEIN et al and getting the word out is the best we can do. Thank you Haley!

This is a beautiful homage to the women who spent hours of time to create those items! My mother had a beautiful "hand" when it came to embroidery and crocheting. And, you're right! Most of us who have items of that handwork usually keep them in a drawer. JUST love it!!

Doilles were mainly used to protect wood furniture from objects that scratched. They were both decorative and functional

This is sooooo lovely and the placement of the flowers are spot in. Such a brilliant idea and collaboration. The grandma would be so happy to see her creations used to make this gorgeous dress. Those shoulder ruffles are so 80'sand feminine. I fell in love with linens as a child, and collecting even since. I have on occasion paid more than I wanted too because the piece would be calling my name so hard.,😂😂😂💚 I have sets of pillowcases too........would have been happy to share with you. Certainly enjoyed this video!!!❤

In Victorian times, the doilies were used to make something called an antimacassar. This was laid over the top of chairs to keep the oils from peoples hair from staining the furniture . They were also laid over the arms of chairs for the same reason occasionally. When I was young my grandmother would crochet doilies, and she would just use them to cover the top of every surface in her house. No cabinet or TV or shelf was complete if it didn’t have a few doilies on it. I’m not sure when this was actually stylish, but I’ve just always looked at it as kind of an old lady thing because I’ve seen lots of old ladies do it. In the 80s, it was actually fashionable to make your area kind of cutesy. You are way too young to remember that every woman had to own a white goose with a blue apron that was about 2 feet tall and stood in a corner of the living room, and the doilies kind of had a little comeback at that point. it was rather cottage core, and we would make the doilies so that they would stick up and have waves in them and all kinds of stuff. I have made about a million doilies in my life. They are useful nowadays as the center of dreamcatchers. I have also crocheted a lot of snowflakes for Christmas trees. Currently, I’m undergoing some stress in my life, and I find that crocheting little small doilies helps calm my nerves. My Neurodivergence is that I have some OCD. Attention to tiny detail makes me calm and happy. I will probably turn some of these into Dreamcatchers, and people have been suggesting other interesting ways to use them. They look pretty sewn together as a tablecloth, or just lain across a canvas and attached as an art piece.

I think there are likely a great number of ways to repurpose doilies, I've also seen people make really cute backs from sewing them all together so they kind of look like the net farmers market bags but a lot more fun and colorful!

The dailies my great-grandmother used were placed on upholstered chairs and sofas where they were likely to come into contact with people's skin or hair, such as over the fabric on the arm rests and across the upholstered backs.

I think this is my favorite of the thrifted linen dresses you've made. Because it is less busy it's easier to really see the individual decorations. To me, it is a lovely way to highlight each piece, whereas in some of the other pieces everything kind of drowns in a sea of pretty. But that's just personal preference, my style is usually more on the understated side. Also, as someone who does tatting; that lace isn't going to unravel much. Tatting is basically a lot of tiny knots, and once those loops are drawn tight, they are not going anywhere. The only time I've ever cared enough to unpick mistakes in my tatting was when I was making the lace for my wedding dress. It would usually take me about an hour or so to unpick a single loop.

so neat to watch! Have you tried gathering by zig zag stitching over a heavier thread laid along the seam line?? I use a button and craft thread, and zig zag with a normal thread.... You might consider adding tatted or crocheted trim at the waistline if you want more color.. The result is fantastic!!! And Christina's was as well.... Thank you!

I have seen such doilies hanging from the top of the back of armchairs to protect the fabric of the armchair from pomade or other hair oils. I made myself a loose blouse from an antique bedsheet the other week. It had a embroidery of a butterfly with leaves, about 10x45 cm. I used this as a shoulder yoke on the back and felt really chic!

It’s gorgeous. I totally love this - I’m known to do it with knitting patterns and I’m always hacking patterns for sewing as well. Also, when you mentioned “pockets” in that voice, I realised that’s the equivalent of “ooh, squirrel!” When you’re a neurodivergent sewist - and I feel SEEN! (As a fellow neurodivergent sewist. Boo on the hands. Still recovering from the second Covid bout and my hands are either a) tremoring or b) sore all over (which hampers the knitting). Total empathy here - hope it settles soon

My guess is that the "doily" is actually one side of a hand bag! If they crochet another one just like that, connect them on the sides (the red-pink part in halfcircle shape) and then sew a lining, it makes a bag that wasn't uncommon in old crochet patterns. 😊

Get yourself a spool of Tex 45 thread, I keep a bobbin full of one to pop in when I do gathering because it is stronger, it is thicker so it also makes your tension on bobbin looser for easier pulling, I leave what ever thread I’m using in needle. Just don’t use your auto thread cutter with it

I basically buy thrift store, garage sale, medium-price name brand, or make it myself. I refuse to overpay. Put up with slave labor. Waste fabric that i can save from landfill while buying lower quality new fabrics. I have 4 quilts planned from thrift store finds/men's shirts/old clothing. Some fat quarters, some scrap bags, etc. Pretend it's World wars 1 & 2. Save & reuse. Save the planet. Buy older jewelry & re-design. Find your own style, and stop letting others tell you what to wear. Even Stacy from What Not To Wear has finally learned this lesson.
