It was on 4 corners or 7.30 report or something like that. Quiet interesting if you are able to watch on iview or some other modern technological wonder way :-)Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12675540900827964787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7922562457401222074.post-39576067454663262662013-06-15T01:39:43.377+10:002013-06-15T01:39:43.377+10:00I'm in the same camp.

I'm still buying bras, as I'm not entirely ready to try the making one thing. <br /><br />Read _Overdressed: The Shockingly High Cost of Cheap Fashion_ and your stomach will turn . . .<br /><br />I've re-purposed some things too. A skirt into a shirt and now a dress will become another Briar. Though, that dress was sold as a skirt and I've never understood how someone is tall enough . . . anywho, I got bleach specks on it and there is enough to make a shirt.

It's a great way to find knit fabrics (fabric stores have such a boring selection) and the linen section usually has something good - I made a fun circle skirt for myself using a thrifted sheet with a green retro print. It's easy to buy those cheap clothes but I often wonder, if they can sell a t-shirt for $4, how much did they pay the person who made it?Roslynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01589284767041828265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7922562457401222074.post-12741270926788697152013-06-12T14:56:49.511+10:002013-06-12T14:56:49.511+10:00I haven't bought anything (clothing) in a stor...I haven't bought anything (clothing) in a store since December...it was one of my New Years resolutions, but the Bangladesh tragedy definitely solidified it for me. I have been sewing a lot to try to fill holes in my wardrobe that I would have otherwise just gone out and bought. I really need some jeans but haven't got to that yet. I think the thrift store shopping is great, my husband is weirded out by it though and so I tend not to do it. He thinks I will bring home bed bugs, haha.

And we both get so much joy from it - it's our girly think to do, and always followed by a hot chocolate!BeckWnoreply@blogger.com
