Couponing, Crafting, Thrifting, and FUN Parenting!

I JUST REALLY FELL IN LOVE WITH THE SWEATER ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE, BUT IT WAS NOT IN MY BUDGET. So I decided to create my own version which is the picture of me on the left. The first thing I did was look on etsy.com to find an applique of a scotty which I did find in this AMAZING SHOP  JU JU BEAN APPLIQUES Purchased it for $5 dollars THEN I went on over to my local thrift store to look for an off white soft comfy sweater which cost me $4 dollars. Waited paitently for my applique to come in the mail which took only about 3 or so days because by the time I knew it the beautiful applique was in my mail box ready to be sewn! Then of course I started sewing away down below is the video I created for you to view my steps of sewing. Disclaimer I am not a professional at sewing!  d d

Shopping at thrift stores is always such a rewarding feeling! Grey Sweater found for $6.99 This sweater looks a little plain but for only $3.99 I am going to add some leather elbow decor and make it look a bit more outdoorsy type of sweater This sweater also came out to $3.99 and I am going to add a pretty little dog patch on the front as I saw a sweater online I wanted that retailed for $150.00 I decided to buy the patch on etsy and sew it on myself saving loads of money!
