Closet Couture:
Poorly fitted clothes can make even expensive clothes look cheap.
Clothes
purchased at vintage shops or just out of your closet can be given new
life with a few minor alterations. Get to know your neighborhood tailor
or seamstress.

Crochet? It's a creative and unique way to mend knits. Mending also saves money and helps the environment.
