Speaker 1 (00:06):
Hello everyone, welcome back.
It is Brutally Made.
I am so excited to be here withyou.
I have officially one monthleft of my full-time job today,
so June 30th is my retirementdate and, yes, I'm counting down
the days.
I'm so excited to be able tofocus on my art full time and
(00:30):
the more that I am doing, themore that I am getting requests
to collaborate with others anddo more in the community and
with local businesses.
More in the community and withlocal businesses it just makes
me so excited.
So that kind of led me tothinking about some of the
(00:51):
requests that I've beenreceiving and how they almost
all have a very similar, I guess, characteristic.
I think about them.
A lot have been with fashion,and that is so fun to me because
I've got to find some throwbackpictures to add to this for the
(01:13):
YouTube channel, because Iwanted to be a fashion designer
when I was younger and I wantedto illustrate.
I thought it would be fun todraw like the gowns that Disney
did for the princesses and juststuff like that.
I just loved fashion.
And so in high school I was inthis pageant called Junior Miss
(01:33):
and you had to have a talent, aperforming talent, and although
I sang and I did things in liketheater class and stuff like
that, it really wasn't me.
So I wanted to draw.
So I drew this glowing unicornin chalk with a black light.
Live to music.
(01:53):
And I think back about doingthat at age like 15 years old,
on the stage in a formal littlelike mini ball gown dress just
craziness.
But I was, that's what I wantedto do.
But I walked out to introducemyself with my sweater dress on
(02:14):
and a tape measure around myneck and had a portfolio in my
hand that I was going to be afashion designer.
And it's so funny now to thinkabout the requests that I'm
getting to collaborate with someplaces that offer fashion and
people that offer fashion andmake patterns and revive you
(02:34):
know, different existing pieces,and I just think that that is
so cool that it's coming back inthe you know, in the universe
at me.
And yeah, so here I am.
Christine, with Selling in theCity, has contacted me and I'm
super excited to have her on thepodcast next month.
(02:54):
I've printed the Manhattandress pattern that she designed.
She designs patterns and makesclothes, but then she also gives
new life to existing things byadding little pieces and parts
to them, and I love that focuson sustainability.
And then I had a clothingcompany here in town looking for
(03:19):
fashion influencers, and so Iwas like, hey, what can I do to
help?
So they picked me, and sotomorrow I get to go shopping at
their store and like blog aboutthe whole thing and show that
buying, you know, resaleclothing and making it new again
for you that's my whole vibe.
(03:39):
I mean, that's what I do.
So I am so excited about doingthat, and I was gifted three
machines from some of the GirlScouts that were in at an
earlier class, and so now I havemore sewing machines for our
class and I just it's just makesmy heart so, so happy that
we're going to be able to offerstuff like that.
(04:01):
And then at the Pro FootballHall of Fame Fashion Show, I
will be there with another brandand we are going to let you
customize your clothes as youpick them, and so I will have
all kinds of things that you cando to make them yours, and I
just think this is so fun to beable to bring these kind of
(04:24):
ideas to a location in a placewhere you're hands-on.
It's not like you have to gohome and do it yourself.
No, you sit down and you get tomake this yourself, and I just
absolutely love sharing that.
And so sustainability is kind oflike what's on my mind today
and putting that out in theworld by reminding you that, yes
(04:47):
, buying new, I understandsometimes that's what you need
to do, but if you take a momentto find out what's there and it
is like a treasure hunt it hasto be in your size, it has to be
in the color you like, thestyle that you want.
You know it's not as easy.
It takes a lot more time andpractice and looking for it and
(05:07):
finding the right location.
It's not like you can go into astore and you have one piece
that's offered in six sizes andthe colors are all there.
It's a lot harder to besustainable with your fashion
and with things that you like,so you have to be more creative,
and so I get it.
It is a little daunting, but itcan work and you can make it
(05:30):
your own.
And there's things like okay,this isn't the size that I want
or use, but I could revamp thisand make this work for me.
So just thinking about that andwhy it is so much more
important now about that and whyit is so much more important
now because of all of thedifferent things that are out
(05:50):
there, that seem to be in thenews, that go into landfills,
that go into those you knowlocations and other parts of the
world that are bombarding theirecosystems and it's just so
hard on their locations becauseof what our purchasing, you know
, is like.
So it's just the culture andconsumption that we have.
We can make a difference bybeing a little bit better with
(06:14):
our choices when we go purchasesomething.
So I just think that it wouldbe really fun to dive into you
know what that means to you andhow you can incorporate that
into your creativity and justthinking about it and in any
business, I mean it doesn't justhave to be in fashion, it can
(06:37):
be definitely with your art Ilove finding things to reuse and
repurpose and restyle it anduse it as your basis or
incorporate found things.
That's what our brushes andbuses tours, going to those
locations and finding treasuresto break apart and reuse to make
(06:59):
something new.
That was personal for us.
That was that's so much fun.
I love doing that.
That was personal for us.
That was that's so much fun.
I love doing that, and sothinking about the materials and
getting the tools together to,you know, revamp something.
That's all part of beingsustainable, and I love having
the location and the materialsavailable so people can do that.
If they don't have, you know,them on hand themselves.
(07:23):
Plus, you're in like this socialenvironment where your ideas
feed off one another and whatyou're doing is, you know,
inspiring somebody else that maybe sitting at the table with
you.
That certainly happens.
I've watched someone create anentire piece, rip it completely
apart and, like start over,because they were inspired by
(07:45):
what somebody else is doing.
I've seen it happen and that'sokay.
We can totally do that and makeit something that we're really
going to love.
So, you know, just you know,taking the time to maybe
research a few trends.
I know that I've been creatinga couple boards on Pinterest to
inspire what I would like to gofind when I go shopping tomorrow
(08:07):
at this location, and I'm veryexcited to be able to share with
you when I'm done.
You know my inspiration, what Ifind, how I change it up a
little bit and maybe, you know,get you thinking about.
Okay, you know, new season ishere.
I'd like to bring some newlooks into my wardrobe and I can
go there and do that.
So it's really, you know, a lotof intention, but it's good to
(08:33):
think that direction and it'ssoothing and it's mindful to
take the time to enjoy lookingfor that.
I love the shops that we havearound here that offer used
clothes and used items andresale and all of the
consignment stores and just it'sgreat.
We have a lot.
(08:54):
Even just Northeast Ohio alonehas a lot.
So I have a friend, carrie, shedoes this mega thrift shopping
list.
It's phenomenal.
I'll have to find it and shareit in the show notes because
they're all over Northeast Ohioand you can just take a tour and
be shopping for hours just forresale and consignment stores
(09:19):
and it's so good.
So it does make you feel likeyou're doing something good for
the environment because you'rereusing what's already out there
and that's good that you knowthat a little thing and it goes
a long way.
But then when you can take itand make it personalized and
make it your own and revamp it,it's even better because no
(09:40):
one's going to have that, it'sonly going to be yours.
So you know, keep that in mind,to make sure that you keep in
mind that you can personalizestuff, and so I really think
that it helps our community andit builds community when you do
it in like a social setting,like at our studio, but just
sharing what you're doinginspires others.
(10:03):
I've been inspired by manybloggers and vloggers over the
years that would, like Iremember, dress a day.
She would take something, shewould find and revamp it and
make a new piece of clothingevery single day, and I was just
fascinated by watching her dothat.
And I just think that peoplethat are using here's a man's
(10:25):
t-shirt or here's a man's youknow dress shirt and we're
turning it into a child's romperand it's like that's just
endearing and so sweet.
I just I love taking thingsapart and reusing them and it's
all just like right up my alleyand I'm finding that a lot of
people are the same.
They have the same mindset.
They love doing that and beinginspired by that.
(10:46):
And when you all come to theshop and you're like I watch
your video every day just to seewhat you're wearing, it cracks
me up.
I just love that.
I had no clue that you guyseven cared.
I mean, I have worked from homefor five years.
I see no one but my husband andour animals, and maybe some
(11:06):
people see me on Zoom once in awhile.
So it's just like really youcare about what I'm wearing and
I mean I do offer a few littlepieces in the store because
they're things that I love or myartwork is on them, or the
manufacturers that make some ofmy things that is on them, but
I'm all about.
(11:26):
There's a whole system and setof things that you can take what
I sell and personalize it.
We've patches, we have fabricpaint, we have heat presses, we
have beading, we have all kindof embroidery, all kinds of
things that you can take thatand sit down and like I want to
personalize it with this or thisor want to add this.
I have altered clothes forpeople as they have gone to
(11:47):
dinner.
They have tried something onlike well, I wish it had this,
or I'm short and I need this, orI need this, taken in or out.
Get my sewing machine out andlike go to dinner, come back,
your clothes will be altered.
And I laugh.
I'm like don't tell me why I dothat, because I don't have time
to do it for everyone.
(12:07):
But it's so funny because I endup doing it for everyone that
has asked.
So it's like it's not somethingI planned as part of the
business plan.
But my machine is there, I cando it.
I've sewn clothes for years.
I can probably alter what youneed, and so it's just so funny
(12:27):
that that's what it turns into,but it's, you know, really being
authentic and reminding peoplethat it doesn't have to be taken
at face value.
It can be altered and changedand made especially for you.
So that's what's most important, and sometimes the costs.
(12:51):
I mean, don't you just love itwhen you find something at a
resale place and maybe the tagsare still on it or maybe they're
not, but it's like this is abrand that you love and you've
never been able to obtain itbecause the price and now you
can that's also huge.
That's so much fun, that's justthrilling to be able to do that
, and so that's cool.
So you know, keep that in mind,and then you feel a little bit
(13:13):
better if you do kind ofalternative it because you
didn't pay.
You know that bigger ticket.
So it's okay to approach itthat way too, and there's so
many fun.
I have a lot of resource books.
Leave you ideas at the shop,but, oh my gosh, you can Google
and Pinterest, search hundredsof thousands of things and, you
(13:34):
know, give you ideas on how to,you know, do something
sustainable with what you have,and I just think that keeping
that in mind is what's mostimportant.
I'm even thinking about maybedoing some kind of like clothing
swap in the fall, so thingsthat you don't want anymore,
that maybe you just don't havetime to take to a resale shop or
(13:55):
to turn into a local thriftthat you could bring them in and
other people can swap with you,and then you can like, revamp
them while you're there.
So, again, just thinkingoutside of the box and being
creative with stuff that I knowthat I need to get rid of and
things that I need to do myself,and just trying to practice
what I preach.
So I just wanted to talk alittle bit about that and put
(14:18):
that little bug in your ear.
As summer is coming along,garage sale seasons are starting
, you know, looking for thosethings that you can revamp and
reuse and recycle, repurpose andmake ourselves better, our
planet better, and, you know,maybe save you some money and
maybe even create it to resell.
(14:38):
So a little profit, but, butyeah, so stay brutally made be
inspired by one another.
If you have done something cool, share it with me so I can
share it with everyone.
I have always shared what I'verevamped and I plan on when I go
shopping tomorrow and share thelocation that I'm working with
and thanking them for selectingme to be part of this program,
(15:02):
because I'm very excited aboutit and I'm really excited to
bring Christine to you.
I believe she lives in Spain.
I, because I'm very excitedabout it and I'm really excited
to bring Christine to you.
I believe she lives in Spain.
I hope I'm not misspeaking, butshe has beautiful patterns and
I'm very excited about justsharing the whole process of
printing this off and makingthis darling dress and sharing
you know how to you know makeyour own clothes and revamp your
(15:24):
clothes that you have and, yeah, so just stay vertically made.
We are headed into June, sotake care, have a great weekend.
I will talk to you soon.
Bye.
Hello everyone, welcome back.
It is Brutally Made.
I am so excited to be here withyou.

other people can swap with you,and then you can like, revamp
them while you're there.

inspired by one another.
