25 Cent Day at Family Thrift Outlet - Amazing Finds

Hooray!  I finally was able to make it to 25 cent day at the thrift outlet store. I got several pairs of jeans to cut up for denim chenille squares- most in the regular denim color but also in black, red, and purple. I got two suit jackets, and what I plan on doing with them is just to take them apart to see how they’re made. I use to know how to construct something similar many years ago!  I just don’t remember, and taking a couple of them apart will jog my memory. I also got some things to wear around the house, and a yellow smiley face pillow case.
These are some things I got that I want to alter, or transform. 

This is a basic knit skirt that is a little too big around the waist and reaches my ankles. I want to take it in, and shorten it so it’s calf length. 




I just want to take off those sleeves and make it sleeveless. 




I only bought this because it was formal looking. It might just be a tulle stash. 

I was going to do something with this then my daughter said she wants it. 




I’m just going to cut the top off and make this into a skirt. 

I can do a lot of things with sheer fabric that has daisies on it. 


I can make this into a halter top and use the bottom for headbands or something

We are actually going to hang this on the wall as a tapestry. I love this. 



I could wear this or I could alter it into a more fitted shirt. 


Cute scarf, many possibilities. 



Round tablecloth just going to be used for fabric. 



I cut the buttons off of this and saved the rest for the blue row of the rainbow denim chenille quilt. 


 


This is thin denim so I saved the elastic and shoelace in my sewing kit and saved the rest for squares. 

Not pictured, I also got a large scarf that’s plain black sheer. I can do a lot with it.
