It’s true, spending hundreds and thousands of dollars on a few skirts and shirts at {Marks & Spencer} or {DKNY} feels like a total rip-off. Financially, this is somehow impractical. There are thrift shops that offer certain high quality clothing brands in discounts and many find it more sensible.
However, it is wise to look for better options in getting great clothes that won’t compromise the quality, and won’t leave you out of pocket. In fashion, ideas and clothing innovations are without limit. There are online websites that give out ideas and share them to all ladies as well as working mothers, in every location.
Foxy Friends Magazine has different columns for fashion and celebrity interviews which everyone can access and get ideas from. While there are other alternatives spread out everywhere, we have another good alternative, and this helps you put to use your unused clothes.
Supplies:
cotton, knit or polyester fabric - anything works!
sewing machine
thread
scissors
flexible measuring tape
pins
marking pen or chalk
Instructions:
1. Cut out a square of fabric to the width/height you want. Keep in mind the width will become smaller because it will be taken in. So it will actually look more rectangular in the end. Cut out the neckline to the shape you prefer (v, square, heart round) and then cut a little curve for the back neckline.
2. An inch or two from the side sew a side seam starting at the bottom of where you want the sleeve to start to the bottom. Then sew the shoulder seams together. Starting from where you want the neckline to start to the end of the sleeve.
3. For the hem, fold the bottom, sleeves, neckline in once if you don't care for fraying or if you serge, or roll twice and hem. Also, I hem the bottom more then the neckline and sleeves. 1/2 to 3/4 inch.
