Plus i picked up a coat for a kid that I know (I mean, really, for 33cents?)...if it doesn't fit it can go back in our "give away pile for other kids.
When I buy at a thrift store, the shirts go right from the bag into the washer! Then I 'debone' them (good TV project, Bonnie Hunter has a quick method on Quiltville), then iron the pieces with a bit of starch.
Also, I just found these cute little pouches made from shirt cuffs. No instructions, but you can figure it out from the pics: (scroll down a bit).
