There's this thrift store just outside of town that does 5$ bags. You get a garbage bag and fill it up! I've never actually paid the full 5$ either! I got all the things below for 4$! Its like a crafter's dream! I have big plans for that pile! That stuff there is going to be (hopefully) the girls' spring wardrobe! There's some stuff for Weston in there too...but I find sewing for boys much more difficult. Anything but shorts and pants is outside my abilities...so far!
I started out with a simple pillowcase night gown for Brooklynn. I think it is so pretty! I love the dainty look, its extra sweet! The tutorial, if you are interested, comes from here.
Then I did a simple pillow case top, also for Brooklynn. I'm going to knit a little sweater that she can wear over strapless shirts to keep her shoulders covered.
Finally, a skirt, made out of pj pants! I just cut strips out of the pants, sewed them together to make a big piece of fabric and sewed a basic skirt!
I'm kind of excited to see what else I can come up with. Refashioning is king of thrilling! ;) Stay tuned for more!
