I love the boots! The stripey shirt plus the Edward Scissorshands one will go great together.

I've also been using the tutorials by smarmyclothes on whatthecraft.com to put new sleeves on tee recons. I haven't perfected it, yet, but at least I know how to do sleeves, now! Big shout-out to her. It's the only sleeve tutorial that ever made sense to me.

thrift stores here in san anto. are gross.
i think i'm just too snobby
and biased to accept it.

but
you did an
awesome job
with your finds.

You'll have to make something cool out of the Irish shirt for St. Patrick's day.

I'm just curious, how do you "sanitize" second-hand shoes/boots? Clothes can be washed, but most shoes/boots can't. Maybe this doesn't bother other people.

i think you should incorporate the stripped shirt with the blodie or Edward scissor hands shirt somehow. great finds. the thrift stores here are lacking most of the time.
