It's great to see your kids growing up healthy and strong, but those growth spurts can take a toll on your wallet and their closets after awhile. Each time a season begins, do you find yourself having to discard or give away all the clothes your child has outgrown? If there isn't a younger sibling -- or if she's just plain tired of big sister's hand-me downs -- then there are ways to stretch well-loved clothes a little bit longer. With minimal sewing skills, you can turn garments into other gorgeous items and prolong a trip to the clothing store just a bit longer. If it still fits and has holes or stains, then the garment may still be salvageable. A vibrantly colored t-shirt with a bleach stain can be turned into a cool tie-dyed top by stretching rubber bands around different areas of the shirt and either soaking in more bleach or another color of dye. Get crazy with a bleach pen and turn a solid tee into a graphic tee by drawing a design with the pen.
