New pirate project
So it looks liek we finally are getting approved for a morgage so I have had to cut my "pirate plunder" budget down to almost nothing. So my new project will be to try and make a complete outfit for as little as possible. I have already started converting a find I got at a thrift store for $2 into a waistcoat, pics will follow soon. If anyone has any ideas or tips from things they have made in the past when money was tight please let me know.
I've found some fabric at Goodwill often enough times that I've made a full proper Gentlewoman's polonaise from period style fabric.
One can occassionally find fabric one can make a waistcoat out of.
That is if you are handy with sewing or know someone who is.
Also, watch local fabric stores. They often will run discounts on fabric and sometimes you can get fabric REAL cheap like a dollar or $2 a yard or three. Cottons or waistcoat fabric material or even for breeches. Wal Mart I've found
