ok, with the way our economy is going rite now, i'm just gonna throw out my $ saving tips i learned from being on the streets. here's one: i cant tell you how many times i'm at work and a girl's outfit needs repair. hand sewing- this is a valuable tool for us. i recommend every girl learns this. i dont have to buy many costumes because i can sew. i just trade clothes with my old squatter buddies and cut the stuff up to make dancer outfits- skirts, tops, shorts, g-strings. grant it i cant use a machine or make a pattern to save my life or work with elastic waistbands very well, but just buying a few outfits that fit well and using them as a pattern to make new ones is a big $$$ saver. stuff can be made from: old tshirts (my fav- easy care, comfortable), old bedsheets, etc. and i've fooled many with this- girls offer me $ to make them something and customers are stunned to find out i made the outfits they fawn over.
here's a site to learn to do so:
