Thrifty Finds

I had to run to the post office today to get stamps for our Christmas cards. While I was there it seemed the perfect opportunity to run over to Goodwill. I have been wanting to try my hand at making a pair of recycled longies. Since these require a wool or nearly all wool sweater it was something that I was going to have to elsewhere besides my always growing stack of material. Not only did the perfect sweater make its way into my hands but I found some other fabulous deals as well. Everything I purchased was in either new or nearly new condition. Not a stain, rip, hole or any fading in site

1 sweater for longies & diaper cover - $6
1 women's knit turtleneck to make into a sleeper and hat - $3
1 6-12 mos heavy jacket (old navy) - $4
4 pairs of soft baby pants - $4 ($1 each)
1 6 mos dress - $1
2 infant hats - $1 ($.50 each)
1 skull cap with fleece lining (NWT) - $2
1 pink hooded towel - $1
1 penguin hooded toddler sized towel (NWT) - $1 (This retails for $11 at Target!)
1 pink and white baby blanket - $1
1 Safety First swaddler - $1

Bringing my grand total to $25

Here is a picture of my loot:


I am so excited. The best part is now I have a few more sewing projects to add to the list!
