Love this BUT your background music is way too loud and I'm straining to hear you.

[taitweigel]

You have a pleasant voice and lovely ideas. No need for the music as it distracts from your tutorial.

I think the charming bird crochet applique would look lovely as a pillow. If you get tired of the skirt, definitely reuse the applique for a pillow!!

Unfortunately the camera is way too close to really see the projects, we see mostly you (not meant unkind) but I’d like to see more of the full linen project. Also music is unnecessary and loud. On a brighter note, I love your channel and I’m a new subscriber. Thank you, Theresa

Hi, My sister in law . Was kind enough to sew my wedding dress. She used her grandmother's lace tablecloth as inlay on my dress. I loved it and Still have it.

Like others have said, please lower the volume of the music

Back in the 80’s while antique hunting on vacation in the desert, my husband and I were blessed to find several boxes filled with incredible vintage handmade quilts, doilies, linens of every kind, embroidered and crocheted dresser scarves and pillowcases. Huge score! I’ve displayed some of it, but sorry to say most has been stored in the linen closet all these years. I need more ideas! Can you do a follow-up please? Help! 💕

I made cafe curtains from matching pairs of embroidered pillow cases with a half of a table runner to create a three layer curtain for a cottage.

Great ideas! I love thinking out of the box! Thrifting is more fun when you've got a wide range of possibilities. Thanks!

These are the best tips I've ever seen for using vintage linens - and I have a Pinterest board for them. Thank you for sharing! (I will go to your blog article to add to my pins).
My favorite is the beautiful doily you added to your skirt.

I love vintage linens! Doilies and hankeys are my favorite though. Oooo and pretty embroidered pillow cases are so fun!!! I like to use colorful sheets over the clothes line to make tents. I love all these ideas, especially the boat!

[momgrandma]

Using them for screens is so brilliant, love all your ideas. I’m guessing your Mom will love the sailboats made with driftwood and cut-up handkerchiefs.

I love the lace window screen!! Awesome!

[cristyshomedecor]

I love old liens! You gave me some great ideas.

A friend of mine from England made the most gorgeous curtains from damask tablecloths. You know, those heavy ones your grandmother handed down that sit in a drawer not being used. White with the most delicate pattern. Just the bees’ knees!

[maryreed]

agree with ideas, I think, could not quite understand due to high volume music.

[annjuurinen]

So talented. So innovative. Such a great idea for window screens. I think you might have invented an entirely new way to decorate a window, and at the same time, offer daytime privacy. You are an amazing designer. That single idea in among all the other great ideas is truly a trend setter.

[nancybourland]

I love your ideas. 😊 The drift wood sail boat is adorable 😍 The lace screen is so pretty as well. TFS

Agree with others the music very loud and very distracting over powers your video.

I am in love with old linens!!! I have been picking them up for years! They have so many uses. Thank you so much for sharing!
