Clothes Makeover

My daughter recently taught me the important lesson that a treasure can be found in thrifted or discounted clothes. I first thrift shop visit was very successful; I found some small things and was able to take the beads and embellishments off to use them in a future project. My second visit was even more successful. I was able to find a few articles of clothing that I gave a new life by transforming them to look modern and current. I decided to start a little series in which I take thrifted clothes, and recycle them to create something better.

Happy experimenting with bleach! I had a lot of fun doing this project. Next to come will be a garment made of this textile.
