Looking for a quick, easy, and affordable Halloween costume? I made this loofah sponge (aka shower pouf) costume and accessories in just a few hours. Depending on your budget, you can pick and choose which parts of this DIY costume you want to implement. This costume is work appropriate, modest, and you can reuse the tulle for another project because it is just safety pinned to the T-shirt.

Come thrift store shopping with me at our local Goodwill - are there good deals to be found? It's been quite awhile since I checked out a thrift shop, so this trip was long overdue. I was surprised by how many new-in-package items there were at the Tampa Bay area location I went to. However, Goodwill seems to be pretty knowledgeable on which brands/items are more valuable and they are priced accordingly. I ended up finding quite a few things I could make use of, including some textiles I plan to use for practicing stitch outs on the embroidery machine. UPDATE: When I opened up the packages of "new" towels I was surprised to find out ALL three of the red ones had obvious flaws. There were holes/rips that were mended with a sewing machine using red thread. While yes, the towels are technically usable, they are not going to work as gifts. Kind of bummed, because I wanted to try Christmas embroidery designs on the red towels. Do you thrift? Let me know about your best haul or amazing find! *Not sponsored* https://www.goodwill.org/ "Goodwill works to enhance people’s dignity and quality of life by strengthening their communities, eliminating their barriers to opportunity, and helping them reach their full potential through learning and the power of work." $12 Tablecloth Upcycled to Circle Skirt | Easy DIY Sewing https://youtu.be/V6rT8n-5JuU DISCLAIMER: This video and description contains affiliate links for several different programs.
