Here is my latest batch of goodies!! ;)
I am amazed by your luck in your trawl through the charity(thrift) shops. I have loads near me, some of them charge almost as much for the clothes as if they were new, others just don't seem to have anything 100% cotton. I will have to try again and search more thoroughly. Unfortunately I cannot get to the car boot sales which I feel would yield a better result. Well done you!!!
I was shocked at how much the charity shops are charging nowadays since returning to the U.K. after 4 years living in Spain BUT it is still alot cheaper than quilting fabric prices, I visit one shop that sells everything for £1 each, picked up 10 garments on Saturday..just luck I suppose as I have been before and come away with nothing...
Good luck fabric hunting!!
