Distrust any enterprise that requires new clothes.
~ Henry David Thoreau
I made it back to the thrift shop for a used t-shirt shopping marathon! It got off to a shaky start, as 99% of the knit shirts I was finding in the women's "blouse" section had side seams. I was getting worried... :(
But then I noticed the that men's section of the store had a subsection that was actually labeled "T-Shirts." And, as a bonus, these shirts were only $1.50 each (vice the $3.50 being charged per "blouse.")
A surprisingly large number of the t-shirts had side seams (maybe 50%) - but I was patient and ended up with these 22 shirts:
All for under $35! That's enough for seven rag rugs!
My only complaint is that the men's t-shirt section was kind of low on pink... :(
That is because they wear the pink t-shirts out!
ReplyDeleteOh, so THAT explains it... ;)
DeleteFunny, Lynn, but my husband had a slightly different explanation... ;)
Procion dye works really well on all cotton material and comes in pink!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the pointer, Ruth - I've never tried dyeing fabric but I will definitely pick up some white t-shirts and dye them pink! :)
