Thrifting for ALL Seasons!

Video Description

My thrift trip to Chilliwack and Aldergrove BC led me to find great scores for all your round! The skills I’ll show you in this one include shortening and adding buttons and buttonholes to a jacket, raising the height of the leg opening on a swimsuit, 3 different ways to sew an elastic waistband, and turning a dress into separate pieces that can be worn together or mixed with other items. I had a blast with this one and I hope you like it too!
