I took a quick jaunt to my favourite thrift store & this is what I got for approx. $22!
I labelled the bigger pieces & showed some of the selvages with info. The other pieces are smaller but still a good size. There are a couple of pieces that I'm not sure are cotton, but oh well, I'm still pleased with the selection.

Never tire of looking at thrift store finds....Some lovely fabrics there. Well done.
|
That looks pretty good. Great haul.
|
Wow! This is really nice stuff!!
|
Lucky you! Congrats on your great find! :)
|
Cool beans!!
|
Wow!
Is that peacock fabric in the middle of the 2nd picture? |
Great! Cool fabric.
|
Oh, love the checker spider fabric !!
|
Never tired, want to see them all and enjoy your finds with you, these are great, congrats on your newest stash addition.

Barb(frugalfabrics)-yes that is! And I'm not a big fan of peacocks. Even when I'm looking at cross stitch designs, I tend to avoid those with peacocks. I know they're beautiful but just don't tickle my fancy.
Olga, the checkered spider is one of the fabrics that I'm not sure is 100% cotton...it has a different feel to it....though it still could be. Maureen |
You did great with this buy!! :)
|
oh me too...nice find!

Went to Goodwill & could not find one piece of fabric but I did find this gorgeous store made quilt that was so hard to pass up. It was a king size pink whole cloth & the quilting was outstanding. Had 2 pink quilted shams to go with it but couldn't think of anyone who could use it. WAS SOOOO PRETTYYYYY

Nice haul. If you want to find out if it is cotton or not then take a small bit and light it on fire. Put it out and feel the burnt edge. if it has small melted bits it has a synthetic in it. Cotton will feel smooth.

I think you may have robbed the bank. You got some nice fabs there.

Hey, I'm going to check my sewing room...I think my hubby took some of my stash to the thrift store! That stuff looks awfully familiar to me!
