Creative DIY Projects That Turn Trash Into Treasure
Over at the blog Blue Print Crafts Jordan is celebrating Nation Craft month by going green and is posting all sorts of green crafts. She kicks off the month with this cute little dress made from a mens shirt. I love it and think I will be making one for myself! She used an amazingly in depth tutorial over at the blog Dana Made It as a starting off point and made a few styling changes.

If you’re someone who gets a little thrill from discovering a hidden gem in a secondhand store or loves the idea of curating a closet full of personality and stories, Second Chances by Macy Eleni is an absolute gem of a read. This book isn’t just about shopping—it’s about reclaiming your personal style in a way that’s sustainable, creative, and unapologetically YOU.
Macy brings all the charm and know-how of a seasoned thrifting queen, sharing her journey and passion for sustainable fashion in a really relatable, encouraging way. From practical thrifting tips to ideas for tailoring and revamping your finds, it’s packed with advice for anyone looking to ditch fast fashion and embrace a more mindful, expressive way of dressing.
What I personally loved is how Macy makes space for all styles, all sizes, and all personalities. It’s not about looking like everyone else—it’s about discovering what makes YOU feel amazing, and doing it with flair. For someone like me who’s drawn to quirky, eclectic home décor and wardrobe choices, this book was like a breath of fresh thrifted air.
Whether you’re brand new to thrifting or a seasoned op-shopper, Second Chances will have you looking at your closet—and your shopping habits—in a whole new way.

That’s great! I hope I can recycle many shirts too. I have a lot of used shirts that I don’t even remember anymore.
