My current favourite is a gorgeous dress originally owned by a "Betty Wilson" (she had written her name on the tag decades ago). Ms Wilson was a smart young woman in her day - there was a safety pin pinned into the pocket - very necessary if you're in a pickle.Jair Duinkerkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436990023503885145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2577144294948630221.post-11555844888595716852012-09-26T08:32:32.574+12:002012-09-26T08:32:32.574+12:00Save the pile of clothing to be altered for the ne...Save the pile of clothing to be altered for the next time you're hit with the nesting impulse! It might be tougher than ever to get it to fit, but you also might end up with some lovely unique pieces. I've been sewing up a storm these last few weeks, and I started tackling alteration of vintage finds when I ran out of hole-y husband pants to patch and reusable flannel baby wipes to hem. janna bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00841942587283088112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2577144294948630221.post-57789469006362716872012-09-25T23:06:44.902+12:002012-09-25T23:06:44.902+12:00So much better!

I lived in Mount Maunganui for a year (still miss it every day) and in Tauranga there is this event called 2 Dollar fill a bag (check the free local newspapers but I guess it's every fortnight on Thursday). For 2 dollar you would get a garbage bag and there would be tables full of secondhand clothes to fill your bag with! A lot of it was crappy but the things I found in there... I absolutely loved it. I would go every fortnight with my flatmate and we would sell the things that didn't fit on Trade Me. I would also alter the dresses and skirts that were to long. How do I miss those days! Back here in Holland we don't really have a vintage culture... People don't like 'hand me downs' so I have to go to Germany to get my fix. If you ever have time visit Tauranga and don't tell anyone! :)<br /><br />Cheers from Holland xo Jori<br /><br />j.vanderlijde@gmail.comJorinoreply@blogger.com
