Wow! Congratulations! Could you post a clip on your blog afterwards so those of us not in the US can see it? (I’m in Australia but would love to watch your segment). I think you’ll have your own show one day ;)
I agree. I believe there is definitely enough “material” to make a show out of what Jillian does. I see segments where she helps folks on a budget learn how, guest stylists, fashion shows, etc…
Try the following link after the show has aired:
http://abc.go.com/shows/good-morning-america
Hi Edward, I have tried to view videos on the GMA site but it doesn’t seem possible outside of US. Anychance of uploading a DVR version? :-)
Be sure to check out Mea’s link below for the video. I am sure Jillian will post a link when she is done jet-setting and celebrating her excellent performance :-)
That is AWESOME! Congratulations. PS: I saw an entry about you on BuzzFeed from a couple of days ago too.
Hey! Laurel from the Orange Dress Reader ReFash in March here. So happy for you! You are an inspiration and deserve great things. I will be watching! Congrats on the recognition you are getting. I am glad I was with you back in the early days. Go!!!!!
Happy for you. I will DVR GMA so I don’t miss this super opportunity for you. Love your blog.

WooHoo!
Congrats! I can’t wait to see you on tv!
That is so awesome!! Can’t wait to see you! You are the best!
Awesome! You go girl! I’ll be sure to tune in.
Funny how you can root for a person you have never met! Thrilled for you.
Woot!!! Congratulations!
Hi Jillian, found a link to your blog on 22words a week or so ago and I read every post from front to back. Your refashions are inspiring, love your color compositions and marvel at all your shoes! Congratulations for appearing on GMA, you will knock them dead! I bouhgt the S.E.W. book you recommended in a post and I’m buying myself a sewing machine! I can’t wait to find mummuus and old lady dresses to remake!
I have recently become a BIG fan of yours. Congrats!!! This is AWESOME news!!!

Hey congratulations! I was wondering if I could post something about your blog in my column (in spanish), I ussually talk about health, but I want to do something about ecofashion, would that be ok?
Thanks so much for thinking about me. Absolutely! :)
Will you be posting an imbedded link for it later? Apparently due to the licensing, we can’t view it up in Canada. GRRRR! Long time fan!
Hey! I am from Venezuela and I had the same problem. Lucky me that she posted a link on her FB page. I will put it here, but if it doesnt work, go to the fb page http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/video/tips-turn-thrift-store-finds-trendy-outfits-24616225
That did the trick. Thanks!
Congrats!!!! That’s so exciting! :)
You will be brilliant! Congrats :-))))
They’re fortunate to have you as their guest! You deserve the exposure!!
Congratulations, Jillian! It is wonderful to hear you will be sharing your unique take on things to a national audience. Just pretend it is karaoke night (sans margarita ;-). Remember to have fun and enjoy the hair/makeup pre-show (not that you need it, but I am sure it will be fun).
Can’t wait to see what you whip up for America.
Congratulations! Well done and well deserved. I”ve been following you for a few years and am always amazed by what you can do with your “finds” and your sewing machine. Best of luck and keep those refashions coming!
Omg! So exciting!!! DVR is set!! Good luck!
Congrats!!!!! That is super cool ! I am already a fan, but so glad more people will get to see the rad stuff you re-create!
Amazing!! Congratulations!! :) Ha! Now we can all use the line “I knew her when…” now that you are getting famous on us! Way to go girl!
So happy for you! Congratulations!
Yeah! So excited to hear you in real life instead of pretending you’re talking to me via your blog! Way to go!!
Congratulations! I am so not a morning person, and after a sad sigh I realized I can tape it and watch it when I get up!!! Hurray!
So excited for you!!! Your blog has really helped me get out of my shell and start enjoying my clothes more. I love looking at them and seeing something new thanks to you! I cannot wait to see you on the 15th!
That is great! I’m so happy for you! Do you know any place where I can watch this online? I live in the Netherlands so unfortunately I am not able to tune in on GMA.
Go Jillian! I agree with Edward, you have enough imagination, material and talent to host a TV show. Wishing you all the luck. And have FUN! Bisous from all your French Fans

Congratulations!!! SO excited for you. Can’t wait to watch!

How exciting! This is two Friday’s in a row that someone whose blog I read is on GMA, what are the odds?
So inspired by your blog. I spent waaaaay too much time perusing one day. Good luck tomorrow!
So proud of you girl. You deserve.
This is so exciting! I watched you on both Rachael Ray and Good Afternoon America and you did so awesome on both of those shows! You have great stage presence (yay for Theater!) and I’m excited to see you in action again.
WOW! This is so great for you! I’ll tune in tomorrow. You ROCK!
That is incredible! I’ll be watching. Good Luck!
That’s so awesome! Congratulations!!! How exciting!!!

http://www.tv.com/shows/good-morning-america/2014-07-18-3035872/
You’ll be wonderful! Good luck! We’ll be watching (along with another couple of million people – no sweat.)!

Awesome! That is amazing and you have SO earned the exposure, Jillian!
Cool! Will try to catch you.
OMG I’m so excited for you! I’m recording since I’ll be at work! Good luck!
Wowee! It seems that just a few weeks ago, you were struggling with your creativity and NOW your blog’s gone viral and you’re on a major TV show! Your mojo is definitely back! I’d say that your mystery man is a good luck charm… :) Seriously, congratulations! You are awesome!
btw all serious “creatives” or “artists” struggle with creativity and inspiration on a fairly regular basis. That is part of the whole process.
Ole!
Please, post the link for your foreings fans hehehe.
Enjoy it!
Congratulations! And Thank you, for sharing your post with such fun details. Looking forward to your continued success and inspiration.
Watching! Sounds like you should be on any minute now. Palomita, try ABC.com later to see if you can see the video. If not, you may be able to get the ABC app. The show is Good Morning America. I’m such a fan. My ScrapStitching.com site is all about making things out of other things. If I had her body, I’d be making clothes out of castoffs in a New York minute.
I am witching it right now! Very proud of you my fellow South Carolinian. You Go Girl!
I am watching it right now! Very proud of you my fellow South Carolinian. You Go Girl!
You were great! Congratulations! Loved your work…
You were fabulous! Cool as a cucumber!
Congratulations! Your segment on GMA was fabulous. What you do is amazing and inspirational. I love the idea of repurposing just about everything, but only if it results in beautiful or practical items; you accomplish both very well.
Enjoyed watching you on GMA!! Waving to you from Rock Hill, SC. :)
You rocked it!!!! It was so fun to see you on tv!!!
You will find Jillian’s performance at this link, in case you missed it like me.

Unfortunately, there is no video as of yet
The video is now at the link: https://gma.yahoo.com/refashionista-transforms-dowdy-thrift-store-duds-fashionable-looks-111706281–abc-news-topstories.html
Excellent! Thanks Mea. Jillian was so very poised. I am sure there will be many new members of the blog family after that wonderful segment.
Thanks again for the link.
You looked great on TV. Would LOVE for PBS to create a show from your refashions.
I didn’t get to see it when it first aired, but I found the video online (same spot I think Mea posted). Awesome work, Jillian! You definitely inspire me (although, my refashioning has taken a hiatus because of baby duty).
Congratulations Jillian! Just saw you on GMA – very cool!
You were awesome! Love your designs. Congratulations!!
just watched your piece on GMA and you were just as I thought not only bubbly but a natural too! you should be on TV regularly!!!!
Congrats! You’ve inspired me to start my own blog, and show people what can be done with their old clothes. I was hoping I could share your GMA video. Would that be alright?
I have been following your blog for about 10 months and get so inspired!!! Especially love the tip to dye – never would have thought of that. And what an awesome piece on GMA today! Congrats!!!
Yay for you…. I stumbled onto you blog a few months ago!!!! I’m a definitely a fan. I can sew….. So since stumbling onto you blog I’ve been thrifting and I have a huge stack of *old* fabulous pieces to refashion! Thanks for making it look so easy. It’s so great to see your true personality on the show.
I just watched the video. That was so awesome!
You’re as cute as your refashions!
I just saw the clip online- it was great! You are soooo inspiring. Keep bringing the awesome!!
Australia saw you this morning on GMA (Yes, Saturday here but we got to see it), that purple number was AMAZING! Congrats from down under xx
Is hard to get (to watch) the video outside the U.S. :( . Is blocked everywere!
Well, I am hoping everything was fantastic!!
I remembered to set my DVR & I watched!! You were awesome! You were pretty poised for someone who doesn’t spend all her time on camera. You looked like a pro! Congratulations! I hope you get a gazillion new readers out of it!
Recorded the piece and just now saw it. You are a wonderful inspiration. Thank you. When one’s weight fluctuates due to medications it is nice to know something beside buying new clothes can be done. I have yet to brave the re-fashion but will be doing one this weekend. I’ll send pics to you by e-mail. Congrats. You deserve it.
I NEVER watch GMA, but when I read you’d be on, I made an exception. It was such fun to watch you doing what you do best: Magic Makeovers!! You looked like a pro! Someone should give you your own program!!.
Omg I recorded it to see you! You speak and move and still make awesome clothes!!!
Congrats!
I missed it! Do you think you’ll post the video when it comes available?
I set my DVR and watched it – I especially liked the one you dyed. When I’m thrifting if I come across 100% cotton white tops – t-shirts or blouses – for a good price, I get them so that when I get a hankering for a certain color to make an outfit, I can create it. I hope they have you back again on GMA!
Saw you on GMA – I am a new Fan!! Love, love, loved the ideas, the tips & tricks – now to learn some sewing techniques and use my imagination!
I watched the video of you on Good Morning America! I have been reading your blog for some time now… But only recently subscribed (I have a phobia of getting too much email…). You did such an amazing job! It was one of their better segments in the lifetime of the show! Bless you in your future refashioning endeavors!!!
I am sorry that I missed it. I will look for it on Hulu or youtube. com. Life has been happening somethings have taken the back seat. I am sure that you did great and knocked it out of the park. I have been reading your blog for awhile now and I love it. I have taken hubby’s slacks and made a skirt out of them for me. ;) Keep up the great work my kiddos and I like looking at the cute refashions that you do.
Awesome job on Good Morning America! You looked very comfortable on camera, were clear and to the point on how much can be done with thrift clothes. You are an inspiration to me and right now because of your segment on GMA I’m working on removing sleeves off a dress. Whirrr!
I can see the video in Spain, at last!! There is the link:

I’m sorry, I didn’t realized that Jillian has posted it right now
You are so fabulous on and off TV and definitely not frumpy even before, just those dress… Your my hero..
.
Your nose is so… LOL
