This Mom of 3 Takes Thrifting To A Whole New Level

Photo 2 of 3

Sarah Tyau first thought of thrifting as a way to save some money on children’s clothing. Kids grow so quickly and they need so much clothing, and it’s not cheap at all.

It’s not exactly easy to find nice children’s clothes when buying secondhand, but Sarah came up with a very good solution. She just buys adult clothes that she knows she can alter into a cute outfit for her kid.

She’s not a professional seamstress by any means, she just uses the skills she learned in a home economics class in school. She says it’s all about small alterations first. How to make things shorter or tighten the waistline.

However, most of the clothes she sewed and what got her nearly 300k followers on Instagram is just basic sewing skills and a bit of creativity. Sarah says that when she looks for clothes in a thrift shop she pays attention to the fabric and pattern. Once she sees something that catches her eye, it usually doesn’t take her more than a minute of touching it and swirling it around to see how the fabric moves, to figure out what she can make out of that thrifted item.

Quarantine: Isolation or Moment of Reboot and Rest

Quarantine ... Pandemic ... Coronavirus ... These words we now hear from everywhere. But it depends only on us how we perceive and project them onto our lives. You can panic and drive yourself into a corner, or you can choose the opposite option and regard it simply as a new period of your life, time to search for truth, new opportunities and affirmation of life values. And so, for those who, like us, choose the second option, we provide a selection of how to use time effectively and profitably, which, as it seems to us, lasts so long in conditions of social isolation.
