I could not resist not to buy it. The buttons and lace pieces had been stored for another project, but linen material was a perfect option to pair with the floral cotton for my daughter's dress.

Alteration ideas - how to transform a top into a dress
I found a baby yellow linen top at the thrift store for 50% off, which had very nice buttons.

One of the best places to find buttons, trims, and other materials for less- The Thrift Store
Over the last couple of years I've learned that the thrift stores are the one of the best places where I can find buttons, zippers, lace, fabrics, or design inspirations. Usually I don't even bother to go to the fabric store, I go
Sometimes, I find a perfect piece of fabric for a new design project. Sometimes, I safe a lot money on buttons for new pieces of clothing, but sometimes I just undo the garment and draft the pattern using the garment pieces.
I really save once I shop while a store runs 50% off- I pay $.90- $5 or less for a set of 6 to 13 buttons!
Recycling clothing can be fun :)

Jean Jacket_Alteration ideas
I have found a cute jean jacket for my daughter at the thrift store for $6.
I liked the dark wash, but the sleeves were way too long and had holes at elbows.
I decided to cut the sleeve and move the cuffs up to keep the original jacket look.
In one hour the jacket was transformed and looked like new.

From old to new
Having so much clothes in house sometime can be a problem, however, you alway can use them as materials fro something new.
Two old jeans and a three tiered skirt became a brand new outfit for my daughter.
She loved her denim jacket and a sun dress!
To make a dress, any tank-top can be used as s size reference for the top.
A plaid lining, which also was a casual shirt before, was added to the jacket to cover raw seams and
I also used it to make inside front pockets with button closures.
And one more fact- if you don't have denim spans, you probably can find a jacket at the thrift store which has buttons what you are looking for.
I paid only $5.60 for a white jacket which had 12 metal very nice button which were perfect for the denim jacket I made.
