Something Used made New

There are so many great opportunities to buy used clothing for our children. There are basically great consignment sales/stores on every corner. Most children just do not wear out their clothes before they outgrow them. Well don't run from used clothing that is personalized even if the personalization doesn't match your child. It is very easy to cover the wrong personalization up with a frame or patch or applique and then you have a brand new outfit for your child for CHEAP!!!
Here is an example...


These are some frame/patch options:


I don't know why this pict is rotated??? Sorry I'm not a blogger pro - well - just tilt your head a little. These were both made from consignment sale finds.


And this cute Christmas outfit was a sister that needed to pass on down to a younger sibling. Now it can be worn for several siblings. See how cute it is!!!

Great ideas! I always wonder what happens to my daughter's clothes that have been personalized ... maybe someone like you gets them!
