The Frugal Girl

OCTOBER 3, 2023

You could sew the sock shut (and maybe one day I will), but the advantage of a rubber band closure is that you can just pop off the outer sock and wash it when it gets dirty. 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 fixed a thrifted hoodie This thrifted Vans hoodie sprouted a hole but mercifully, it was right on the side seam! I turned it inside out, used some matching thread from my sewing box, and closed up the hole. But I decided to be responsible and just use the one I already own.) That’s the best kind of hole for mending.

I didn’t bother sewing the squares to have neat edges, like I’ve seen on Pinterest. I just throw them in the laundry with my other cleaning rags. And when these squares wear out, I’ll head to the thrift store for some cheap flannel shirts. This post is linked to Follow Our Thrift. Do you use a Swiffer?

Store laundry supplies together – starch, detergent, spot remover, irons, fabric softener and etc. Shared memory exists between you as to where that electric screwdriver or sewing case is stored. So, store your paint together with your paint brushes, paint thinner, paint stir stickes, rollers and etc to find them easier later.
