A few months ago (or maybe a year?) they opened a Goodwill Superstore in my town. I had never been, but always intended to check it out. I was pleasantly surpised. For $19, I left with two new pairs of boys shorts (still with original tags), two button down boy's shirts, one new Osh Kosh 24 months dress (still with a tag) and one size small men's dress shirt.
Actually, all I wanted to get was the men's shirt because I had been itching for some time to use this tutorial on making a toddler dress from a button down shirt. If I were smart, I would have taken a picture of the shirt before I started sewing. I apologize, you will just have to settle for pictures of the end result:
Super cute!! I'm always on the lookout for shirts to turn into dresses too, ever since I saw that tute. I'm on my third one :)
Julie,
Isn't it addictive?
Totally...I see everything as fabric now, instead of what it is (shirt, sheet, tablecloth)...thrift shopping has taken on a whole new life for me! ;)
