Ah the waiting game sucks, I want all my stuffs now!
I dont want to have to wait till the end of the week before I get clothes from the otherside of the country, seems silly that it takes that long.
I want it all now *arms flail everywhere*

In the beginning there was a boy with a sewing machine
Apparently looking good costs a lot of money these days. To that I say BULLSHIT!
It all comes down to where you get your clothes.
Personally my favourite place on Earth is, the OP shop. If you don't know what one of those is, LEARN!
There is also eBay, a great place to get vintage & antique, well anything really.
They will save you loads of hard earned money, & with a little creativity & know how, you can breathe new life into the pre-loved clothing you can find there.
Knowing how to use a sewing machine is a great skill to have, I suggest you learn, the hardest part of using a sewing machine is setting it up, but once learnt you will be able to do it in no time. Hand stitching is fine, but time consuming.
Turning pre-loved clothing into something new is not only cheaper, it also means you have the only one, no one else will have the same item of clothing as you again.
Buying a oversized t-shirt & turning it into a dress is a lot cheaper than buying one.
& you're not limited to clothes, there jewellery too, that you can use practically anything to make, from bones to toy cars.
The only limitation really is your imagination.
Here I will post all the alterations and re-creations that I make, including where I got it & how I did it.
I am certainly no wizard on a sewing machine, but not only do I get to make new things, I also learn to be more patient with everything, it's win-win.
I already have bought a few items off eBay that I eagerly await the arrival of so I can begin transforming them into something better than just a plain t-shirt.
TTFN
Looking forward to posting all my creations in the very near future
P.S I will also be posting links to sites that have tutorials & videos.
