FF:Upcycled birthday gift


Miss M was invited to a birthday party for a girl in her preschool class.  I had just patched her brothers jeans and turned three pair into shorts.  So I decided to make a little purse with one of those pant legs.  

I dug around in an office drawer and found a package of tshirt transfer paper.  The party invitation came with tink on the front, so I printed a picture of the fairy.  Then I ironed it onto a white tshirt that I had bought at a yard sale to use in a craft.  I sewed it onto the jean, and made it a pocket.  I finished it the lazy way by adding a piece of ribbon.  YAY! I spent $0 to make this birthday gift.  
As we get ready to move, we're always looking for ways to downsize.  I want to USE my craft supplies instead of throwing them out, or hauling more boxes to the next place.  But I AM glad I had hauled these supplies from the last place.
