I may PM you soon!
This blog inspired me to try changing some of my own dresses which I don't wear because I don't like the way they look or fit. I can't do the things this lady can do, but take a look at what I did to this dress that was bothering me.
looks good i know some of the stuff was ugly i think what i liked about the whole thing is she is doing this on a dollar a day we could all take a lesson from the recycling part we all complain about the prices of our sewing stuff but there are ways to cut back
take yesterday for example i made a new purse for one of my friends and she told me to do what ever i wanted with the old one this is what i got :
3 magnetic snaps still perfect condition
strapping just needs washed
a nice zipper looks new
rings and hooks (purse hardware)
so out of this free purse that was going in the trash i got about $10 - $15 worth of stuff to use on a new purse for me or someone also less stuff going to landfill SCORE, CHA-CHING!
money in my pocket or should i say for more stash lol!
