DIY T-Shirt Quilt

“There is no such thing as waste, just stuff in the wrong place”
~ Anonymous 
​In the true fashion of Nifty Thrifty, I decided to take a chance and try something new. My friend had a lot of volunteer shirts and didn't know what to do with them. Rather than throwing them away or donating them, I thought it would be a great idea to turn something old into something new and make a memorable quilt. 


Below is step by step instructions on how to make your own. If you're not into crafts but would still like one made send me a message to discuss pricing and how to send your shirts.

Carrie, you couldn't be more wrong and, I'm guessing, for you feel the same. If you don't mind I like to reword that quote to read...
"I Like My Money Right Where I Can See It.... In My Savings or Checking"
 
Thrifting allows me to save on my must haves. Today's DIY UpCycled project, I took a dress and restructured into pants.

DIY UPCYCLED BLAZER

“Creativity Is Allowing Yourself To Make Mistakes. Art Is Knowing Which Ones To Keep.” ~ Scott Adams


I've always wanted a jacket with leather sleeves. So of course NIFTY THRIFTY found a way to make that happen.
Last weekend, I hit the ground running and went thrifting in Memphis. I snagged two blazers (among other items) at Goodwill for $4.99 a piece which means this jacket cost a grand total of $9.00!

Usually, I wouldn't share my DIY project secrets (obvious lie hence this blog) but  I love you, loyal viewer!

Upcycled Roses

Thrift Outfit Description:
Floral Print Shirt: $10*
White Polo by Ralph Lauren Shorts: $4.95
Navy Blue Purse: $15**
RayBan Glasses: Gifted

Total Thrift Outfit Outfit Description: $29.95
* This shirt displayed above is actually one of my most recent Thrifted D.I.Y projects. Originally, the shirt was long sleeve and it was entirely too big for me. So I started thinking... what I can do to make this WORK! I started by chopping off the sleeves and making the shirt slightly smaller by taking in the side seams. The top above was the final upcycled shirt.

** The Large Navy Blue Shiny purse was purchased at a wholesale price (Thanks to my friend who works within a wonderful wholesale establishment!) This bag actually retails for about $45-$50. So I got it for an amazing deal!

Make sure to submit your thrifted/discounted images to colortag.thrift@gmail.com so you can be the next featured Thrifter Anonymous!!
