Just got back from shopping with my mom for sewing machine needles and batting. We stopped at a yard sale on the way home that didn't look like it would be that great but stopped anyway. Amidst all the clothing... there it was... Fabric! It still had the sales slips pinned to the pieces with the yardage and price per yard. I took the pile to the gal running it and asked how much because there was no other price on it. Without even looking at what I had she said $12! I gave it to her and left. There is over $150 in fabrics! I am in fabric heaven!

Good for you! I had a little bit of luck today as well. Not that good but for me it was great. Probably about 25 yds in 16 pieces for $6.00. It's being washed and dried right now so maybe I'll get some pics later on. Love a deal!

It is hard to fine good price and fines at yard sales around me. Maybe I will get lucky some day like you. That is so awesome!

So, do you have plans for any of it yet?

Same thing happened to me on Friday. Went to a yardsale and they were selling rulers and mats and fabric and rick rack. Later someone was looking at my 'stuff' as I was searching the books and when I said "hey, that's mine", they wanted to know where I got it. Had to show people twice where the stuff was, but I got the good stuff !! Wish now I had bought more fabric. But I have so much I thought I shouldn't.

Great haul.

jlwheart 10-13-2011 03:11 PM

That's great! At a yard sale last week, I brought 4 pcs to gal running it and asked how much. She said $1/yd. Then she takes each piece and measures it at 3-4 yds and says that's about a yard. After I paid the $4 she says - pick out any piece and just take it - looks like you like to sew! Didn't know my delight with the fabric showed that much. Have had such fun at yard sales this summer, I'm sad to see them come to an end as we're headed into winter now.
