Hi I'm Jen, I'm 40ish....and to my credit I'm a sewing-fanatic, swap-aholic, goodwill-addict and consignment-junkie. On January 1, 2011, I committed myself to abstain from department store shopping for one year. For the past 80 days I have been sewing more, swapping excessively and using Goodwill more often for any clothing, shoes and household items including furniture. I'm truly a Frugal Fashionista in every aspect. I currently teach sewing classes in the Silver Spring, MD area and I encourage my students to bring in clothing that we can breathe new life into instead of buying more. Either we do some alteration, add on or refresh by mixing and matching with other items we might not have normally given consideration to. Currently my a 8x10 foot storage space is full of nothing but fabric and and it would be in my best interest to spend the next year sewing instead of shopping. I found out about the Diet at the Green Living Expo in Arlington VA this weekend and was "sew" excited about getting involved. I'm looking forward to expanding my self imposed challenge and encouraging my friends to do the same. Also looking forward to saving $$ and becoming more creative by refashioning what is already in my closet. This challenge is a perfect step up for me and I can't wait to share my experiences with others.
