I took a suitcase full of clothes that I didn't want or need any more. I found a dress and a top for myself. Went through the childrens clothing and found a few peices of clothes for my grandchildren. All was free. Leftovers given to charity here in town. Got rid of two suitcases I didn't want any more either. Good way to clear closets and clean bedroom! Enjoy your new to you clothes!Grandmabeckyl.blogspothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04362600588981799211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-50088681220920708532018-11-03T15:16:23.027+00:002018-11-03T15:16:23.027+00:00Lovely free clothes, sometimes when I'm doing ...Lovely free clothes, sometimes when I'm doing alterations, I do a seam up the front and over the shoulders and down the back, as the the shoulders can be a little too wide xxWendyTnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-45548985035737675582018-11-01T20:19:59.792+00:002018-11-01T20:19:59.792+00:00A lovely rainbow there.
