COST/WHERE I GOT THE SUPPLIES
This cost 0 dollars. I got the t-shirt from a old set of clothes i don't wear. I got the scissors from my kitchen. I got the sewing kit and needle from the restroom. The old t-shirt is considered trash because I don't wear it anymore and it just sits in a drawer, forever unused.
