Sewing saves money!

Blouse at Hollister

I was walking around the mall the other day and I saw this cute, short sleeved, navy polka dotted blouse complete with a bow for sale at Hollister for $34.50. It sure reminded me of the thrift store blouse I recently purchased for $4.00 and upcycled into this:

I absolutely love it when my hobby saves me money- this time $30.50! It was also nice to happen upon some reassurance that the clothes I'm making are actually in style too...
