<b><u>SIMPLE T-SHIRT SKIRTS</u></b><br />
<br />
One day soon I will post pictures of the process of making these. It's pretty easy and fast. It helps if you use can use a serger because it finishes the seams and leaves a decorative edge that does not get all wavy looking or wonky out of shape. <br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Earlier this year I was given a lovely toile shower curtain from a neighbor. Having no need for it in my bathroom, I made an apron for a friend. The weight of the fabric was perfect being a heavier canvas like material. It's durable and completely washable. It's hard to see from the picture but I used black vintage buttons on the straps for a little added bling. It was a fast and easy project, perfect for beginners. It appears as if I did some piecing at the bottom with the checkered trim. I did not, it was all one piece and I just added a black ribbon trim to break up the design. </span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: black;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> If you are in the market for a new apron for yourself or as a gift, I would highly recommend first checking out your local Thrift shops before going to the fabric store. Most often they will carry fabric shower curtains. </span></span></span></span></div>

This lovely little waist apron was made for another friend of mine. I was given a bag of fabric and inside I found 2 pillow shams. I love this print but not for my bedroom! They were just the right size to make into aprons.<br />
The fabric was a soft cotton and already doubled because it was a pillow sham. So there was no need to line it or use any stabilizers inside. I just cut out the desired shape, added some red flannel, slightly gathered trim along the bottom edge, some vintage red buttons and ta-da!! A word on the slightly gathered red flannel trim, it came from the edge of a bed sheet that was also in the bag these pillow shams came in, FANTASTIC!!! I love free materials!!<br />

at the dig n save and create a copy of a vest he owned. Of course I was
up for the challenge so here is what I did. I made a pattern from the
original vest, it was pretty straight forward,only 4 pieces and a simple patch pocket. From this I created a muslin copy and was ready to do a first fitting. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggGeSxD__bmUsHApKcDN3DIyFQLigGMH5E233QWif2h7bKbrh9J9PorKKEuUzTBc8nAyxzRr-ZqSmQhj39Go1Qlmmp22MxrsXMV1QeqVOzZvOQmqmeqosjpx9dFBoC9EoFf6RM2RokEoCj/s1600/20121130_191853.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggGeSxD__bmUsHApKcDN3DIyFQLigGMH5E233QWif2h7bKbrh9J9PorKKEuUzTBc8nAyxzRr-ZqSmQhj39Go1Qlmmp22MxrsXMV1QeqVOzZvOQmqmeqosjpx9dFBoC9EoFf6RM2RokEoCj/s320/20121130_191853.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">I used the red flannel throughout the vest as the lining. The lining was
constructed like the vest, stitched the shoulders and side seams then
it was placed into the vest, wrong sides together so there were no
exposed seams. Now I didn't take a picture of the facing when it was
put on, but I used a lightweight grey wool that was sewn onto the left
side of this front piece and it went all the way around to the other
front vest piece, it created and inner back neck facing as well. Once
the grey facing was added, I used a black binding to cover the seams, it
added a nice decorative touch.</td></tr>

Wow, I am always surprised by how fast time slips by. Currently I have been working on more bags for a craft fair which took place last weekend. I am thankful I was able to make it out because I had some sort of Plague for 2 weeks prior to the show, still working on feeling better!! Thanks to everyone who came out to support all the local artists!!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14925667673126711495noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020692543303427711.post-59261346514859495752012-02-23T11:29:00.003-06:002012-02-23T11:36:42.085-06:00Re-designed boys polo shirt<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYCqa0w9kV-KuPXy9dW427GNLfzdmWAptzOg0jASD9MdDLFyKBECKspMKHym31z89NuI8u1PiF6xjM-myw0f0Xvm5VmY3I-FCxbFPnOnv063aPj9WVQO4bjcbBGSjdsLUnG1xvPBAJQ4vI/s1600/IMG_20120207_181306.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYCqa0w9kV-KuPXy9dW427GNLfzdmWAptzOg0jASD9MdDLFyKBECKspMKHym31z89NuI8u1PiF6xjM-myw0f0Xvm5VmY3I-FCxbFPnOnv063aPj9WVQO4bjcbBGSjdsLUnG1xvPBAJQ4vI/s320/IMG_20120207_181306.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5712384941048746370" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9KYzNo_LIJG9PGTfYnx0jNddDFmTDuLJsNqrkCXqxsyrz7YTLc-WEVUbU2MMktrm869lLt1BKMtZjgw7TjHcEd8c-HyFxl_8r2OzvdvCS1_oaORh_Ir8Ll4fiZ2XHmxkbqZReZ3NtebvX/s1600/IMG_20120207_181258.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9KYzNo_LIJG9PGTfYnx0jNddDFmTDuLJsNqrkCXqxsyrz7YTLc-WEVUbU2MMktrm869lLt1BKMtZjgw7TjHcEd8c-HyFxl_8r2OzvdvCS1_oaORh_Ir8Ll4fiZ2XHmxkbqZReZ3NtebvX/s320/IMG_20120207_181258.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5712384938349060722" border="0" /></a>This was another thrift store find. I had a request for a grey baby dress so I took a medium sized boys polo shirt, cut off the sleeves, neckline and hem. I added a soft fleece, dark grey bias tape trim to the edges. I then made a little squirrely applique with button eye for extra cuteness. This now belong to my cousin who is expecting a baby girl very soon now. It was a fast project and I am sure I am going to make more of these very soon.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14925667673126711495noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020692543303427711.post-37895492906095875632012-02-23T11:20:00.004-06:002012-02-23T11:25:19.861-06:00Kimono Dresses in Action<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPDYYSOWBnm1eK9jKyKL1AXXRTr8c39Ud-2Qd3JeLcs8wHb5JHbQbVZM8NmUd1KDuRt8xThQaL7EEHURMxBB9MSMmJsD7y5U53N4SJRec2ycY_eqRIP909kt_kWyBbHZ6LKvOoMI-wNlKu/s1600/012620121581.jpg"><img style="float:left;

Really, who has the time for all of that. I had 3 boys first and other than making costumes for them, I never really made any little boy clothes. However the tables are turned now and I have a baby girl. I am more inspired to make cute little outfits for her because I don't have to mess with legs/pants. My sister and I found out we were both pregnant within a week of each other so I made up little kimono style dresses for our babies because she too was having a girl.<br /><br />The dresses with the orange trim/dragon fabric and the red trim/cherries were for the babies. They were easy to make once I figured out how to draft the pattern. The nice thing about this design is that as the babies grow, they can continue to wear garment as a top with some cute leggings.<br /><br />The kimono at the top with the multi-color print and black and white stripe is reversible and made for a larger size. I love how the stripes compliment the color on the reverse side. The color print is made from a lightweight corduroy and the striped fabric is an old cotton fitted bed sheet that belonged to my kids. I became irritated with the sheet when the corners no longer stayed put so I figured it was time to do something else with it. This turned out to be a great design and is perfect for that one of a kind baby shower gift.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14925667673126711495noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020692543303427711.post-63473298651668547882012-02-23T10:42:00.006-06:002012-02-23T10:58:31.343-06:00Voodoo Doll Halloween Costume 2011<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyTteFVGR6bZgwEMMzi2TKoHYmO9D_N2xf9Y912hzQxlTQez4Zmk-5dgGLMIhxM43NWMUg-4UcAdaNjLLnWRuY4Q4hyphenhyphenTK_7v83I-6GsqPv0F-Ucuis0qtG0p__kty3Qz8FhiIbvPl19FXk/s1600/10242011768.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 179px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyTteFVGR6bZgwEMMzi2TKoHYmO9D_N2xf9Y912hzQxlTQez4Zmk-5dgGLMIhxM43NWMUg-4UcAdaNjLLnWRuY4Q4hyphenhyphenTK_7v83I-6GsqPv0F-Ucuis0qtG0p__kty3Qz8FhiIbvPl19FXk/s320/10242011768.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5712373247608771154" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf0I13o5JAvMelxNNzEDOVifhWaOEpzpEpkdW6kg_xXIfBlxEoLDf18Wh3pay2G7mYIDF5pla1H8seAqDMT47mbECIe6CjGHhMmIOGncYZCDtQmWZSbwkb3csL8m6Z63zghxNxC8lWzLCv/s1600/10252011770.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 163px; height: 289px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf0I13o5JAvMelxNNzEDOVifhWaOEpzpEpkdW6kg_xXIfBlxEoLDf18Wh3pay2G7mYIDF5pla1H8seAqDMT47mbECIe6CjGHhMmIOGncYZCDtQmWZSbwkb3csL8m6Z63zghxNxC8lWzLCv/s320/10252011770.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5712373259282868098" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKGIt9ZBPgb40X0Pqgrd8jaLdgStu4P92qY_4VEvy8TRen9aw7-a8_mtxl9l1t4KxzlWYzC2CxboWoEApZf0m0aI9SdnNOKgHfhHiYsD0ePXN0cGH3qAooUjQ0zBWPhXIidMefoerBRAdG/s1600/10252011769.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 179px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKGIt9ZBPgb40X0Pqgrd8jaLdgStu4P92qY_4VEvy8TRen9aw7-a8_mtxl9l1t4KxzlWYzC2CxboWoEApZf0m0aI9SdnNOKgHfhHiYsD0ePXN0cGH3qAooUjQ0zBWPhXIidMefoerBRAdG/s320/10252011769.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5712373239659296642" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />This was my Halloween costume this past October.

I collected many old t-shirts from friends and family and cut them into random size squares. I used my serger to sew it all together and draped it on my dress form along the way. I was pregnant with my 3rd son when I made it so it was made to grow with me. I added a hand appliqued muffin to complete the home-baked look to symbolize that both the top and the baby were created while I was living in MI and attending college in Detroit.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14925667673126711495noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020692543303427711.post-40903637411382068432011-05-11T09:18:00.003-05:002011-05-11T09:52:22.186-05:00Camo makeover<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPvmXn9jYksQRm1V86teEA5K0ghUt9Jxb89W_3Ltcs-rsH07X2_tMcy4ZxCPhq5kb6I7L2MTLtCPyZBzKPoOzM5jiWPSCDS3E2TgQ9X66lXUcl8psTg7vXxjCYof2EsEbBrjbRpEWfd6lD/s1600/DSCF5407.JPG"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPvmXn9jYksQRm1V86teEA5K0ghUt9Jxb89W_3Ltcs-rsH07X2_tMcy4ZxCPhq5kb6I7L2MTLtCPyZBzKPoOzM5jiWPSCDS3E2TgQ9X66lXUcl8psTg7vXxjCYof2EsEbBrjbRpEWfd6lD/s200/DSCF5407.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5605463024570621666" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyAkgu_WVvpWwE4hcR7CUyW-80imzT5Mu3Z2CZoeORXtZGE6gg_rZk5lJzotinjfqGBHzJokhKek_oLDS4zrGANptbJd9a9N2ippvPBJWjJjTFlW8kMuvwjY6Zwy4iRiccDa_XU4_gqZPX/s1600/DSCF5411.JPG"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyAkgu_WVvpWwE4hcR7CUyW-80imzT5Mu3Z2CZoeORXtZGE6gg_rZk5lJzotinjfqGBHzJokhKek_oLDS4zrGANptbJd9a9N2ippvPBJWjJjTFlW8kMuvwjY6Zwy4iRiccDa_XU4_gqZPX/s200/DSCF5411.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5605462954263294338" border="0" /></a>This skirt was made from an old pair of camo shorts that were free to me and didn't fit in the waist at all!! I cut off the top waistband of the shorts and added a new waist from an old black t-shirt. Once you remove the crotch seam you have a skirt! I left the slit open on the front and back to give more leg room but you can close the seams if you wish. Adding the knit waistband allows for more ease and gives the skirt more room to easily slide on.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14925667673126711495noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020692543303427711.post-73185574765359504682011-05-11T08:59:00.004-05:002011-05-11T09:17:26.075-05:00Red Top Makeover<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-Fy4V-gI2uLLsWjOZCmu3Dc25wslnruI7ma96Kd8xlwmawY2m5PtSJ_qXQTrqVPDuu2ryhhaW44VcjkvNgkaH9U3UOKXNkp2dVdTT6TRiBehDQyyuFXUHc5X4SPqP0ejHt0BHxmJiUM07/s1600/DSCF5415.JPG"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-Fy4V-gI2uLLsWjOZCmu3Dc25wslnruI7ma96Kd8xlwmawY2m5PtSJ_qXQTrqVPDuu2ryhhaW44VcjkvNgkaH9U3UOKXNkp2dVdTT6TRiBehDQyyuFXUHc5X4SPqP0ejHt0BHxmJiUM07/s200/DSCF5415.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5605461902780167554" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrO8do8ulY-gaezK-fcSRv2kNJSToQXK6ZtLaZoHeEPkCfyJO2kkDpfvMvwcCcz_Z7Tx6PFulZZNUX29xW_GpFOnqttE0cABnOqE0vwwnfRTGhcAqlqC6sSmF7SJlTXblw6VMbWshOSXnC/s1600/Image022.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrO8do8ulY-gaezK-fcSRv2kNJSToQXK6ZtLaZoHeEPkCfyJO2kkDpfvMvwcCcz_Z7Tx6PFulZZNUX29xW_GpFOnqttE0cABnOqE0vwwnfRTGhcAqlqC6sSmF7SJlTXblw6VMbWshOSXnC/s200/Image022.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5605461373273319346" border="0" /></a><br />Here is a before and after picture of a shirt that I altered.

My sewing machine stopped working and needed to go into the shop which I thought was going to put a halt to my sewing, but thanks to a very gracious friend I was able to continue my projects with the use of her machine!!! Thank you L!!!<br /><br />So I have been working on completing my recycled owl bags to add to my collection. I occasionally work craft fairs and decided that I needed more owl bags so here they are.<br />They are made from upholstery samples, which were destined for the trash. I'm also planning on new designs with squirrel appliques!! Once I get my machine back from the shop, I will get started on those.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14925667673126711495noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020692543303427711.post-79913924954978249172010-10-08T13:00:00.011-05:002010-10-08T13:25:56.881-05:00Costumes<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidbeFIhYVQpvbe6BSvGbRbAdhfBNfC-dzYvQsFbiO_mMCMpnDOZuQl8lmNlmr5Y1qEowMEffBFQn7xUZkAyFyaJFcZzf1rFZo2cv9rAt2iHJ6B8Df6y04sszH8mfaIzIKHAQalXXolue_t/s1600/IMG_3258.JPG"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidbeFIhYVQpvbe6BSvGbRbAdhfBNfC-dzYvQsFbiO_mMCMpnDOZuQl8lmNlmr5Y1qEowMEffBFQn7xUZkAyFyaJFcZzf1rFZo2cv9rAt2iHJ6B8Df6y04sszH8mfaIzIKHAQalXXolue_t/s200/IMG_3258.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525737150326228866" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsKabiJ7Fl6fWB4yyEoWvMTj7HwWMgdUWuJPVq8_BfTzbLC6OqH6dp-KsjNXrRv3RvP2L-4iaTEhdNv-rzR04wMqjhWC1iFA_LWPqy1arKRj2STtW0loLTaAoDmee6BfO90doLa-EXqSGP/s1600/IMG_3269.JPG"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsKabiJ7Fl6fWB4yyEoWvMTj7HwWMgdUWuJPVq8_BfTzbLC6OqH6dp-KsjNXrRv3RvP2L-4iaTEhdNv-rzR04wMqjhWC1iFA_LWPqy1arKRj2STtW0loLTaAoDmee6BfO90doLa-EXqSGP/s200/IMG_3269.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525737619127557714" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />OK, so these are some costumes I have made but not from recycled materials.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Several years ago I was into belly dancing and thus made all of my dance outfits.

It was a tedious process but fun none the less. The whole thing was pieced together on my dress form and all of the black and white rosettes were stitched by hand. I made this piece for a class I was taking at the time and never really intended on it to be worn aside from the student fashion show it was in.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPIu3ikAzlxkTOudR70H1924iYGBO_2Z0gZWAC1A9Dg_fec5vKbfyzgYuN5jTFVP6i1nCAW_K_BW0_6s4NR-Ljb8rHyBfbhE8h_b7C4Rxz692F1MVJd6MmcEjHB0y5_Fg-d9F3O05eS-yb/s1600/IMG_3256.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPIu3ikAzlxkTOudR70H1924iYGBO_2Z0gZWAC1A9Dg_fec5vKbfyzgYuN5jTFVP6i1nCAW_K_BW0_6s4NR-Ljb8rHyBfbhE8h_b7C4Rxz692F1MVJd6MmcEjHB0y5_Fg-d9F3O05eS-yb/s320/IMG_3256.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5526124799363870962" border="0" /></a>This is the bottom portion obviously.

I cut off the entire top portion and remade it from an old pair of jeans. I shortened the hem and added a little flower detail on the front. I used a portion of the jeans waistband to cinch the back of the dress and reused the jean pockets as well.<br /><br />So the remakes may not be totally fabulous, but they are an improvement from before and I did wear the plaid number here to a recent event.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14925667673126711495noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020692543303427711.post-2874407213435007892010-09-23T13:16:00.004-05:002010-11-03T14:26:41.223-05:00Environmental Knowledge<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:worddocument> <w:view>Normal</w:View> <w:zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:punctuationkerning/> <w:validateagainstschemas/> <w:saveifxmlinvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:ignoremixedcontent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:alwaysshowplaceholdertext>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:compatibility> <w:breakwrappedtables/> <w:snaptogridincell/> <w:wraptextwithpunct/> <w:useasianbreakrules/> <w:dontgrowautofit/> </w:Compatibility> <w:browserlevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel> </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:latentstyles deflockedstate="false" latentstylecount="156"> </w:LatentStyles> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if !mso]><object classid="clsid:38481807-CA0E-42D2-BF39-B33AF135CC4D" id="ieooui"></object> <style> st1\:*{behavior:url(#ieooui) } </style> <![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 10]> <style> /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal";

It's possible to find fine fabrics like wools and silks, that you might consider unaffordable as a new purchase if you went to a fabric store. Sometimes the clothing is brand new or just as good as new, with no signs of previous wear.<br /><br />It's possible to create great additions to your wardrobe by thrift store shopping. Combining thrift store clothing and your sewing skills, you can create a beautiful and original wardrobe.
