Thrifted: Shirts, Purses, and Plaid Fabric

Nothing is better than spending a morning with a good friend sifting through isles of used clothing until your hands feel like they are covered in dust and smell like moth balls.

Thrifted: Fringe Top

Whenever I go thrifting, it always seems that I have to leave with at least one thing. So after sifting through racks and racks at my local thrift shop I came across this interesting crocheted fringe top. Lacy shirts are kind of my thing, and I may or may not have way too many of them. At first I loved it, but when I tried it on it was kind of Eh and the sleeves were awful.

 

But when thrifting you always have to remember not what the item is, but what it could be. With a little sewing magic, here is how I transformed this fringed top.
