I was just looking at those bibs at the website that Miss Tootsie showed us and thought: If you visit a thrift shop, you will find lots of cut blouses and handsome shirts - - a snip here and there, turn a bit of hem, and VIOLA! Some pretty fancy bibs could be turned out without a big outlay for new fabric (and, best part? <g> the fabric is already pre-washed) ...
just imagining here, but if I didn't have to spend all my time pinning pattern pieces, and making a garment from the ground up, then I can spend more time embellishing! and, then I remembered some terry cloth someone had donated to the V A & R committee - - it is pretty wild, but by golly! It would absolutely make for some lively dinner conversation --- cool! <wave>
