Homemade "No Show" SocksMake your own "no show" socks. Cut the panty part off the pantyhose. Stretch the open end of the cut off stocking over your foot. Cut off the excess stocking off, leaving a seam allowance of 1/4 inch.
Making Distressed JeansRipped denim short shorts and distressed artistically ripped denim jeans are all the fashion. This is the perfect chance to either get you or a teenager you know into DIY!
Making Children's Pants LastI suppose I am the "frugalist" gramma ever and my daughter-in-law is the "frugalist" mommy. When my granddaughter was a crawl around baby, I made her a pair of denim pants with elastic in the waist - no decoration, just little denim pants.
I Made a "Clown" Shirt from Leftover FabricsMy kids are grown, in fact, I am a greatgrandmother. When my kids were school age and younger, I made a lot of their clothes. Had lots leftover so I decided to make myself a blouse.
Make Your Own DickiesDickies can be made by taking the dickie cloth and using garters at each side at the top to attach around bra straps. They can be made from expensive remnants from something that you hemmed. I keep a stash of large pieces that were cut off from hemming just for this use.
