A few weeks ago I made out like a bandit at my favorite thrift store. I got a few dresses, a curtain (to become a skirt, hopefully) and the pair of curtains above. I don't know about you, but to me they screamed out, "beach!!!" It's actually a lighter blue than the pic shows... point-and-shoot... whatcha gonna do, right?
Well the curtains have been given a new life as a cuuuute little set of beach totes. *sigh* Makes me want to keep them! I should be able to make a total of 4 (only 2 finished so far) so maybe I will keep one after all.
They'll be making their way to the Etsy shop soon (though I've been slacking for quite some time on that.)
I really wanted to make little coordinating pouches for the beach totes and this week I got lucky, again. I found this bed sheet, on sale.
Little baby stripes to go with my big bold ones. Score!
Also got away with this skirt.... Check out those colors! And it was only a dollar!! I'm thinking flow-y spaghetti strap spring shirt.
And this terribly cute print (bed sheet as well) of letter monsters. I'm not sure what I'll make with it yet, but I couldn't pass it up for $1.50. I'm thinking appliques. Got any ideas?
These are just a few of them. I can't decide which one's cuter. Though unfortunately for Agwat, I think he automatically takes the award for creepiest.
Do you see your favorite?
Wow I love the totes! What a great idea! I am about to venture into sewing so I will look out for things like curtains that can been given a new life :)
