For those of us in the sewing and crafting business, anytime we can come up with new and different ideas for things to make and sell is always a bonus. You never know what you might have hanging in your customer waiting area will be the next big “hit” for your customers.
Sometimes finding deals at stores, Good Will and/or flea markets and using those garments to “remake” into other things is what I love to do. Here are a couple of ideas for you to check out — they might be your next best selling items!
A peasant blouse from a man’s shirt! This is really awesome – not hard to do with the tutorial provided by MyMamaMadeIt blogspot. I think I might just make a couple for my pre-teen neighbor’s daughter. This should be a very good test of the idea. Personally I think it looks great.
Then you can always do some of the Men’s t-shirts into women’s casualtops as we’ve shown you before. Anyway you look at it, using inexpensive Good Will shirts, cheap t-shirts, etc into other items for women and children is always a good thing —- and possible money makers as well.
I’m all in favor of repurposing garments to add to my customer waiting area for others to see and buy!
