I make notes of gift ideas for my family and friends throughout the year.

With some practice, patience, and some sewing know-how, you’ll be on your way to making your own clothing before you know it. If you have never attempted to make your own clothes before, or if you have little or no sewing skills, finding some good reference materials is a great place to start. Learn How to Sew.

We do put up decorations (ones I buy at garage sales or thrift stores and reuse each year). If you sew, take off the buttons, zippers, lace, netting or whatever to use later. My daughter-in-law came up with this idea, buying bulk pumpkins and bulk flowers. Free Kids Crafts has some ideas. Tip # 2 Recycle/reuse costumes.

And if you don’t have a Midas near you, Lisey says that Sam’s Club offers this service (she used to work in their tire department), so that’s another idea to try. I fixed Zoe’s skirt She’d thrifted this long skirt (so 90s!) So, I got out my sewing machine and did a quick repair for her.

I carried this idea to our garage. Shared memory exists between you as to where that electric screwdriver or sewing case is stored. We had different teachers on different days and the toys kept getting misplaced. This will also reinforce on your memory where you have stored your things. Re-build that memory when things get rearranged.
