ok I found another link, and if someone had it on here before, I apologize beforehand

I had thoughts some time ago of just giving up all sewing , from crocheting, sewing crafts, quilting, the whole thing! But all of you chipped in and said what I could do to save, cut corners and so on. I am still struggling, but not as bad as before.

I am just trying to give back a little of what I received.
here is a link, I think you will like, and its free, got a lot of good tips in it.. which I am taking as well....

Great ideas! Thanks for sharing.

I love thrift stores and all there bargains this site is now in my favorites!

Great link. Thanks for sharing.

I'm planning on making one green loving daughter a big lap robe (her husband is 6 foot 5) and went to my favorite thrift store. There I found 5 (FIVE) huge king sheets in greens, from a deep rich green to a lovely mint green, they are all different and all go together nicely. They're all washed and folded and waiting for the scissors.
Now to get though what I'm working on so I can start cutting!!
The prices on these at the gray building was $2.99 each, and being a Saturday everything was 50 percent OFF!! So they almost paid me to take these lovely masses of fabric.

thanks for sharing!

I have been shopping at thrift shops for over 35 years. I have a large family and that's where I put outgrown or unwanted items on consignment. My credit adds up and I can get the cash or use the credit in the store for needed stuff. There were times that I would pay a credit card bill or buy dog food with the money. I live for thrift shops and it's amazing what you can find in there. Fabric and notions are just the beginning.

I told my husband that one day I am going to find something either at a garage sale or a thrift shop that will be worth thousands of dollars and then I will be able to afford to build the huge house I've always wanted.

thanks for sharing..

I love the thrift stores. My dh is 6' 5 as well, son is 6'6. Impossible to but clothes for either. Usually have to order them. But i sure love my BIG boys.

Thanks for the great site! :D

Thank you for link....

DH told me the other day that with the cost of clothing going up, he wants to start shopping at Goodwill and SA before going anywhere else. That is a big shift for him. I also found a new one next to Joanne's...someone from the Seattle area opened one in the northeast. Have not been able to find any fabric at them but did get a Martha Stewart sheet set for $12.00 (new). Its a trip but will go at least once/month and start looking at the kids clothes

Hey, thank you for the link. I've added it to my rss feed so that I can be updated whenever a new post is made.

Thank you for posting this site. Moneys tight, and we need all the help we can find. Thanks for caring.

thanks!

Hmmm... I now have some ideas for those old bedsheets that I just had to replace!

I just went to the site and sure did like the repurposing of the onesies and shirts. I have an 18 mon. old GD and she doesn't like bibs at all. Right now, she is not getting too messy except with foods that don't stick to the spoon when turned upside down.
