I pledge…

written by Jen on Wednesday, May 30, 20073 Comments

Wardrobe Refashion - 4 months I, Jen Leheny, pledge that I shall abstain from the purchase of “new” manufactured items of clothing, for the period of 4 months.

I pledge that I shall refashion, renovate, recycle preloved items for myself with my own hands in fabric, yarn or other medium for the term of my contract.

I pledge that I will share the love and post a photo of my refashioned, renovoated, recycled, crafted or created item of clothing on the Wardrobe Refashion blog, so that others may share the joy that my thriftyness brings!

Signed Jen Leheny.

Well, that’s it then. It’s official. My first WR pledge - from now until 1st October, at least.  Maybe it will have become such a habit by then that I will keep it up. I have been looking forward to doing this - such a good idea. Nothing like a bit of group encouragement.
