Stretching Your Kids Clothing Budget During Tough Financial Times

In our house, my kids need money for two things; clothing and electronics. As a needle arts educator,  I’ve watched the amazing things that kids can do to alter, re-design and re-vamp their existing clothes. Here is a little video that we made for back to school, however,  I think it is more important today than just a few weeks ago.

This video is meant only as a jumping off point to begin to think of ways to re-fresh a wardrobe. If you look through our classes and how to videos, you'll find other ideas for needle felting your jeans, embroidery stitches and how to embellish clothing. Then you and your family can enjoy not only the savings from not buying new all the time, but the beauty of watching your child express herself and her unique point of view.
