The odd item of clothing I've bought over the years has tended to have the tag still attached (have to admit I'm a bit iffy about clothes which have been worn). So I'm afraid I'll be sticking with mostly new whilst telling myself I'm helping to save the high street. And I'll also be helping to restock the charity shop rails.lovethosecupcakeshttp://www.lovethosecupcakes.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419544468759273678.post-59666860030492099032019-09-08T22:36:01.667+01:002019-09-08T22:36:01.667+01:00Good for you Gina, I am impressed.

It is not all bad though: my youngest two are proud wearers of second hand clothing, almost all of their stuff has been handed down to us. Have a lovely week xxChristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11883091348839145603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419544468759273678.post-81048891397181967142019-09-08T11:19:05.529+01:002019-09-08T11:19:05.529+01:00I’m not really buying clothes at the moment as I’v...I’m not really buying clothes at the moment as I’ve lost nearly 2 stone and still going. I’m rediscovering the back of the wardrobes and altering clothes instead. LOTS going to charity shop though. I have been really trying to use up my craft stuff and fabric and have just sorted the over spill room and have a plan for dog charity quilts etc so I’m certainly repurposing! 😃Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06834178052964503036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419544468759273678.post-39665103125182384512019-09-07T18:08:13.471+01:002019-09-07T18:08:13.471+01:00Ok Gina, I have decided that as I am on a healthy ...Ok Gina, I have decided that as I am on a healthy eating plan to lose at least a stone in weight I plan to alter clothes I currently have to fit and not buy new, plus use some of my fabric stash to make some tops.I checked one of my wardrobes and found garments I still like but have not worn for at least a year. I give it a try.

I think that everyone of my age and size keeps all their clothes, as I can rarely find anything the right style or fit in charity shops.<br /> I love the top you have made and the one you nearly cut up is lovely too. <br /> Nothing new until next September - OK I'll give it a go.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06826501916623305535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419544468759273678.post-5743121637959802682019-09-07T10:03:37.840+01:002019-09-07T10:03:37.840+01:00A very thoughtful post Gina.

I certainly have too many clothes and have resolved to shop from my wardrobe! There was an interesting newspaper article last week about the increase in clothes moths. As we all have so many garments in our cupboards the items are not circulated regularly and the moths are having secret feasts! Happy sewing and thank you for your ideas.

I’m certain I could get to the end of the year easily without buying new. I’ll let you know how I go:) B xCoastal Rippleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13355914194686166834noreply@blogger.com
