re-fashions.. from thrift store finds :)

for $3 I took a boxy jacket and put a couple seams and took the sides in a bit and now I have a super cute jacket! Next time maybe I should take the picture after I put a bra on... ;)









I got more than a yard of flannel for $1. The other night I saw the cutest bunched up scarf at wally-world for 10 bucks. All it had was one line of elastic thread sewn down the middle, so instead of wasting my money on a cute scarf I spent 1.38 on some elastic thread (one of my new favorite things), cut a strip of flannel and made my own!



And they look super sexy together!








BEFORE










I found this vintage dress at Savers for 5.99. All it needed was a more modern sleeves and a belt. I love it!


AFTER. I found an even better thick red belt for $1 that I think I'll pair with dress instead though.










20 minute sweater dresses (children interruption included in that time) I the idea for this here. I got both of these nice quality sweaters from shepherds kitchen for $1.25 each! So 2 new dress for that price, plus a few minutes of time, is fabulous!



Trin was, of course, making love to the camera, so I had to share a couple of my faves.



We're all a bunch of happy campers, or thrifters i guess you could say!

ahhh! I need to learn to sew!!! I am always buying things with these ideas of how to make them better but they just stay in my closet because A) I do not know how to sew and B) I do not own a sewing machine...one day, one day!
basically what I am saying is you are amazing and I love what you've done =)
