That is amazing! I would love to be able to do that one day. Do you find its cost effective?

@@ariannapflederer I would say that thrifting is still more cost effective than sewing it yourself, but sewing it yourself is still more cost effective than buying brand new from ethical companies (as I know you do too). I thrift clothes for them first and then sew pieces to fill in the gaps in their wardrobe. My oldest, Elijah, loves yellow but there is never yellow to thrift so I make him lots of yellow clothes. I buy fabric on special or buy big adult items to use the material from so it can be cost effective that way. I'd love you to stop by my channel (I'm very new to RU-vid) but I share my sewing projects over there or on instagram @mymummakes.marie

You can totally do it! It will be such a huge stress reliever for you I am sure!

Thank you Elizabeth 💛

Thank you Naomi! 💛

You’re very welcome!

Interesting to see what works for other families! When I put clothes away from the older girls, for ren - I capsule it right then and there. I have two wardrobes to pair down since rev and aerie are the same size though. So I downsize it to one capsule for when ren is older. Because it was a capsule already, everything matches and is capsuled perfectly for Ren when she will fit it 🙂

Thank you so much for purchasing 💛 I hope you find it helpful!

@@ariannapflederer Do you have an email where I can contact you about something?

We are near Raleigh, it’s too populated for me! I prefer the outskirts of the city where it’s more sparse. Like garner, Smithfield, Clayton, Angier, etc!

Arianna. I hear u that’s why I’d rather look into somewhere near those areas and travel to city any other weekended if needed.

The exclamation point was just cause the link was at the end of sentence haha. It should be a link that is clickable in the description though :) I removed it though!

I want to learn to sew some of my kids clothes, it’s on my bucket list! 😃 The only clothes that get worn out and can not be reused for 2+ years old is pants (from knee holes) from our experience. All other clothes we have been able to hold on to, to pass down to our youngest! We shop almost all used for our older girls too, but I try to stick to nicer long lasting brands like Hanna Anderson (lots on thread up and our local consignment stores). But, even if you had to buy a brand new wardrobe for each child, you’re only buying what you need. You would inevitably have a few pieces you can still pass on to the next. A traditional wardrobe that you can pass down entirely would equal the same amount of pieces purchased for a “new” minimalist wardrobe for the younger sibling 🙂 So in the end you end up spending the same or less based on number of pieces total when you use capsules. For us, capsuling is more about simplifying the stress of getting dressed and laundry, not so much money saving! But, we definitely still have saved money on our youngest versus before we were minimal with our oldest!

@@ariannapflederer Our Onesies (is that the word in english? In Germany you call dem bodies) broke because of our cloth diapers, not all, but some. A few were beyond repair ^^° But I am also content with our small wardrobe. And sometimes you want to sew new things for the second or the season does not fit anyway for the size (I have a july and a february child). I spend almost nothing and buy at second Hand Shops as well. Mostly I wish for sewing fabrics for birthdays etc. Shoes are the only child clothes I purchase new.

That’s amazing! I would love to learn to sew well enough to do the same for my girls some day. So cool that your kids get to wear a lot of pieces that you yourself make!

You don’t go to the store unless you actually need those items 😉 and, try to think about leaving those clothes for others who actually need them. When you purchase them, you are taking away the chance for someone who really has a need for clothes to buy them.

@@ariannapflederer yay good point. With 8 kiddos I do donate back quite often.

I will be showing their next capsule our usual :)

I have thought about that, but it will be the same probably! Except they curate it! When kids grow up to not be overly focused on consumerism, the hope is that things like feeling like they need a million pieces of clothes won’t exist. But if we could afford it, I would love to let them curate new capsules every other season if they wanted to switch it up! It would be a fun thing to do!

And they can do their own laundry, so hopefully they'll see the value of a capsule.

Yessss!! 👏🏼
