Remember those jeans that are too short? And that plain T-shirt that looks like your best friends and your sister's too? Well, don't throw them away because it's time to have fun and add, cut, and sew funky, fun new life into old clothing! Don't know how to sew? Doesn't matter, basic altering doesn’t need to involve much more than a little bit of needle and thread, a few buttons and beads, and a touch of fabric glue. So, grab that 80's hat and those life-less sandals and get alter-native! Have fun and help one another out. materials needed: clothing to alter fabric glue needle and thread scissors music camera junk box suggestion: decorative fringe sequins embroidery thread buttons fabric scraps silk flowers ribbon lace beads a sewing machine Don't forget to take photos and send them to be posted in the mother i gallery! |
