\nI want to tell you about a little clothing refashion project I started working on over 2 years ago called The Thrifty Kid.<\/strong> It’s a project that I had grand plans for, but because the best laid plans don’t always work out as expected, this little project has sat idle in cyber storage for too long.<\/p>\n

The Thrifty Kid is about teaching you how to refashion your unwanted clothing into cute and practical garments for your kids, with minimal effort and sewing skills.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’d originally planned to write an eBook, but I could never set aside enough time to write and produce it, then it had some interest from a book publisher, but it didn’t quite make the cut.<\/p>\n

Rather than letting this project gather dust, I’ll be sharing it as a blog series over the next couple of months.<\/p>\n

Why refashion unwanted clothing?<\/h2>\n

In this series I’ll show you ideas, and teach you techniques to transform unwanted adult sized garment into a functional and good looking trendy children’s garments.<\/p>\n

You don’t need to be an excellent sewist, in fact it’s especially for those wanting to sew garments for their kids but are intimidated by tricky bits like collars, button holes, zips etc…<\/p>\n

The idea is to maximize the best bits of the old garment and feature them in the new garment with the minimum amount of steps required.<\/p>\n

I wont be including patterns, but rather teach you:<\/strong><\/p>\n
