Reuse, Recycle, Repair-Making Do

[bookworm_2005]

I’m tired of looking like a frump, although I remain adamant in my dislike of makeup and long hair. Short hair and no makeup is the way to go.

But, I can do something about my clothes. So, I am remaking the contents of my closet instead of purchasing new clothes. Also, I’m a miser. And I like the clothes I have, for the most part. Some of them

Lovely! When you get done with your wardrobe, you want to come to mine? ;) I have no sowing skills and need the same sort of alterations.

Thank you.
And I don't have any super-special sewing skills either! Just a sewing machine, a pair of scissors, and the courage to cut up my clothes. Of course, most of my clothes come from thrift stores and yardsales. So if they are ruined, no big deal.
You can bet that I take my suits to the seamstress for professional fitting. I just don't have enough courage to cut into suits that cost me $250 each.
If you'd like to try, just pick up a few things at the thrift store to practice on. And check out The Renegade Seamstress (link above). She has step-by-step pictures.
Good Luck.
