12 shirts for $4.21!

February 09th, 2009 | Category: clothes

why is the last thing you need always the hardest to resist? the logical part of me knows it’s not a bargain if you don’t need it, but 12 shirts for $4.21? i was looking for black tees to wear with all my crazy colored/patterned pants, but i found a lot of other really awesome shirts. and i may try to sell The Used shirt on ebay or something because i’m sure i could get back more than the 50 cents i paid and i’m not a huge fan of the band, but i do like them and it’s a cool shirt.

Sweater Reconstruction

November 01st, 2008 | Category: clothes, crafting & diy

i’ve been doing a lot of sewing for my various furniture projects, but this is the first time i’ve sewn any clothes in a while. i started with a men’s extra large sweater that i got for $2 and altered it to make it fit me. now it’s slim fitted, but nice and long and with sleeves i can tuck my hands into.
