CUR

 Hi everyone

I am so exited about something and i really feel the need to share.
I like to call it CUR. (Cheep Useful Recycling)

They all talk about global warming, saving water and being good to the planet. I love to do this, but some times and i'm sure we can all admit it, we slip and put something in the bin that could have been recycled or we forget to switch the tap off while we brush our teeth.You know them little things.
After all we are just all human but we try!

 so any way ...

Yesterday we visited our favorite shop that sells second hand clothes cheep its called the 2 lei shop and 2 lei is equivalent to £0.40 for example, or $0.61 or 0.46euro, REAL CHEEP.
Well in Romania some clothes are real expensive and some clothes are cheep like anywhere else in the world.

So what we like to do is (CUR) find clothes from the second hand shop spruce them up a little bit wash them and then wear them!
Its just that simple and there is nothing wrong with doing it as long as we wash them. Its so cheep and fun and we can make anything that we like and no one will have the same things as us what an amazing, affordable way to always have new clothes all the time!!

Our friends have said to us where did you get this, that, the other, and we said well when we bought it, it was a bed sheet or a pillow case or something ridiculous like that.
CUR really works and you don't need so much time, money or skill.
I spend approximately 1 hour on each piece and teat it like a hobby when i have a spare hour on a Sunday or something. 
I AM NOT EVEN A SEWING ARTIST HAHA! I am not so good with a sewing machine and doing it by hand i can not even sew straight, but i enjoy it and saving all that money to have economical one of a kind clothing is perfect!!



Just a perfect example this used to be a pillow case and now its my favorite one of a kind new old summer skirt
The pillow case coast me 2 Lei (£0.40) the buttons were included and i bought 1 meter of elastic for the waist which cost me 2 Lei (£0.40) plus time (1 hour)equals 4 Lei (£0.80) in total and i still have elastic left for my next creation!
Its a grate idea for kids clothing as they are always growing and getting messy so why spend a load of cash?
Perfect you try it and if you mess up you hardly waste a fortune!
