Nice ideas!

Thanks for the T*I*P

thanks i will take a look

Another way to sew on the cheap is to frequent estate sales for lots of fabric, thread & notions. Also check Craigslist in your area to find out who is thinning or destashing their stash. I have found that families are selling the stashes for little or nothing because the family sewer is no longer able to sew. Great finds.

Good idea!

Wonderful ideas!

Thanks for the info

I take my hubby's old blue jeans and mend the front part of the legs. Generally this is the only really worn out area at the knees. I use old-old blue jeans and make a large patch, I open the leg up at the seam and it makes it much easier to sew on the large patch. Hubby then uses the mended pants for his week-end car repair or just puttering outside fixing things. Get extra 'mileage' out of the jeans and especially at what they are asking now for new jeans.

Great idea.

I just went to her site and got onto PicNik, cool site! Thanks for the lead!
