This short vlog below is an update on the first underwear project.  Let's just say, I am going in a new direction. I already have the next video shot and I am editing now. So come back for basic construction!

A quick review of a day of thrifting. I spent just over $100 USD on this haul. The purpose of most of the items is to recycle them into a fabric collage or art quilt. It is a collaborative project I am working on with a friend. I was happy to find a few pieces for myself, my hubby and one of my daughters. Here is a better view of the little black statement dress.  It is so fun to thrift with a buddy! We helped each other cull through all the great finds and not overbuy.  Look for future posts on our adventure into the fabric collage realm. It is a learn as we go project for both of us.
