Are you ready to see how to get this much fabric for $5?

That is right!!! $5 per bag at the thrift shop!!! You are going to stain and grungy and cut and rip and tear anyway... this way it doesn't feel so bad.

    Thanks for following my blog!
    My girlfriend at Purensimple was showing me a box of clothes she was getting rid of because their "rats" had chewed holes in them. This was after looking at the prim dolls she was making and bowl stuffers... I said why are you throwing out this material. She looked at me and her eyes lit up and she started pulling the clothes out of the box! It was too funny. Sometimes we miss what is right in front of us. Now I'm not a grunge fan but I love reusing, repurposing and buying at the thrift store!
