Yeah, well I was thinking about it and have decided to try selling them online. Just on our local Buy, Sell and Exchange Facebook site. I'm always giving stuff away, but thought, hell ... I could use the money!
Even if I put a super low price on things, it's still money in the
So that's what I will be doing this morning, photographing everything, then listing it. If it doesn't sell, then I will just donate it away.
Other than that, I've got bugger all to do except HOUSEWORK. And who wants to do that? *sigh*
I just checked the FBG Events page, and there's a walk on at 10 am... one I've done already this year, but I will do it again ... I need the exercise. And the company is always good.
ONWARD...
12.15 pm: back from an awesome walk and coffee afterwards. I HATE WALKING, but with company, it's bearable!
I'm so happy.
Now that's I've cooled off... I've been re-assessing my 'old' clothes.
Sharon, I hope you can use some of it, but maybe not for your island holiday?
LUNCHTIME.... off to find food.
Whoops! I've been a bit quiet all afternoon and evening haven't I?
Well that's because I ain't been doing much, just chillin, making dinner, watching some TV. Bit lazy really.
I should be sewing, getting the latest line of coasters and placemats done. Oh well... maybe tomorrow.
Time to sign off, it's getting late and I'm tired.
When I lost my weight I adjusted lots of my clothes - you'll be amazed how re-tailoring them will make more use of them. You are a clever sewer so if there is one or two items you particularly like then make them smaller!! It saves money until you need to buy smaller sizes.
ReplyDeleteI did this too. Some I did. Some I had a seamstress do.
DeleteUsually the fix was - two long, vertical darts in the back of dresses and jackets and dress shirts. My shoulders are broad and changed very little. So this worked really well. I put the garments on inside-out and had her pin them.
Basting is your friend. Very long stitches to see how things fit.
DeleteSelling them is a good idea, giving away what you don't sell is a good idea too!
ReplyDeletegood on u selling not giving your clothes away, I get so bored with my clothes even though have lots seem to stick to same old same old...when we last shifted I had a bag for the clothing bin then broke leg so it ended up moving with me u guessed it I am wearing the clothes again not put in bin gggggrr need a throw out
ReplyDeleteWhat neat ideas to reuse those Clothes Lynda and Vickie had, the faves among them. I agree you are gr8 on the machine Chris and if you had the time etc would be a way of saving $$$$ for other things..
ReplyDeleteIts good to sometimes do a revamp (says she who didnt do well at sewing at school )lol But hand sewing I still give it a go etc..
Hope you have a gr8 walk and keep up the good work You are an inspiration to us all here atm
Cheers
Your weight loss is very evident in that photo. Go you!!!! And you look so happy which is just wonderful. Not smiley happy but an inner glow.
ReplyDeleteHi I was wondering if the symptoms you had from your diabetes have now gone? do you feel much better ? you certainly look fab and seem to have plenty of energy.
ReplyDeleteYes, I no longer wake up and feel sick! I have heaps more energy and feel GREAT! Eliminating sugar and most carbs has made a HUGE difference to how I feel.
