Really each week I seem to get a bit more into a more thrifty mindset. With the constant increase or limitations on the purchase of meat, I am finding new and interesting ways to take a small amount of meat and fashion a meal that my carnivore of a husband enjoys.
Extra meat is packed away to be used in another meal or three when I make a roast or a chicken.
Today I made a tank top from fabric I bought for at a church rummage sale. Actually they were going to give me all the fabric I picked up for free, but I thought a donation would only be right. So for around a dollar and a bit of work I now am the proud owner of a rather dressy tank top. The scraps were collected and may end up being the edging of another top or perhaps a skirt.
I darned a pair of my socks today, and a pair that was too worn I cut into ties to use in the garden.
Everybody have a wonderful evening.
God bless.
That's wonderful. I love using the sock fabric for the garden. I am using bits and bobs around the house for my garden too. Really a great way to save money.
ReplyDeleteSuper thrifty as ever Jackie. I especially like the sock tie idea.
ReplyDeleteDarning is something that my Grandma taught me so many years ago. I cant say that I darn much nowadays!
ReplyDeleteWhat a good idea to use the old socks as garden ties. Love the sound of your new top too, such a luxury to have a nice new thing to wear at this time.
ReplyDeleteA great tip for the recycling of the socks, thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYour new top sounds lovely.
ReplyDeleteI too am using less meat...hubby hasn't noticed so far. I think recycling everything right now is so critical. Today I chop up an old dress shirt and make hubby a mask as he doesn't feel comfortable in the white one I made as it's too thick (plus I think he wants a black one and if it makes him wear it more than no problem)
ReplyDeleteAll good lessons learned...
ReplyDeleteWill we remember them, after?
And hahhhhh.... Will there be a Real After?
Ooopps, I am trying to find Beauty in this Mess. That last question, did not fit! -smile-

I've used tights to hold butternut squash thereby taking the weight. And the odds left for ties. Its a great way of using soft fabric.
