]]> Comment on My Top Ten Tips for Scoring at the Thrift Store by geraldine http://thismamamakesstuff.com/2010/01/my-top-ten-thrift-store-shopping-tips/comment-page-1/#comment-30273 geraldine Sat, 12 May 2012 18:41:41 +0000 http://thismamamakesstuff.com/?p=1277#comment-30273 1. I ALWAYS look underneath things. People hide things: don't want to buy it at the time, don't have enough money, etc. I've found many sewing/crafting items (Heat-n-Bond webbing (3 brand new stuffed inside one pack and priced as one), needles, fabric*, etc.) 2. Finding oversize skirts/shirts/dresses/etc. I love buying skirts (almost 3 yds+ of fabric) with button fronts. They make great button-front shirts. I use a fitting shirt for the pattern, cut the front/back (they're already hemmed), cut the sleeves from leftover fabric. I always add another button/buttonhole below the last one so the shirt closes at the bottom. Some have the prettiest patterns/colors, if bought new the fabric would be $10+/meter/yard! I could go on and on, but there's too much to list. Suffice to say, thrifting is one of my favorite past-times! 1. I ALWAYS look underneath things.

It'll take me a while to recreate since I didn't even make a pattern or take pictures as I went along. :( Maybe someday I’ll find time to do a tutorial?
