  • Do you want a dreamy spring / summer wardrobe...on a dime? Let's start with this beautiful three piece, purple / lavender, romantic set. It's made from thrifted granny capris, an old dingy tank top and another top that was way too small for me. We will walk step by step through the fun design process of creative cutting, ruffle making, ribbon tie closures, dying on the stove top, and so much more! This is easier than you might think. If you're not a fan of tedious sewing and long drawn out projects, then this channel is for you! Enjoy!

    I love this adorable video involving RIT dye and sewing woohoo! This is right up my alley. Thanks so much. Youve taught me all about bleaching too. I have a jean jacket given to me that is thrifted. It is saturated with strong perfume around the collar that didnt come out after 15 washings and treatments with ammonia, vinegar and hanging to dry outdoors. This morning I dipped it in a bleach solution for an hour. I bet it worked! We will see shortly when the washer cycle is complete. We will walk in creative VICTORY my friends! Just take a chance with thrifted finds. We cant lose amen. PS your necklace is gorgeous. Robin in NC USA 2024
