I found some solids at my local Goodwill store last week. Each piece was 1 or 2 yards. The store had them hanging on pants hangers. I was looking for fabric in bags. I did get the thick facing material in a bag. I use it for my potholders.

I hope I post this right. :lol:

WTG - I never find good stuff like that in the Thrift stores. Sigh

Goood find!! It took me weeks and 3 different Goodwill stores to find fabric, but now I know where to go and I have one other to try out. Will be going to check that one out this weekend.

Great find. For me it takes lots of trips to lots of different thrift stores and sometimes I get lucky.

Me either, the only one anywhere close enough to travel has mostly JUNK! Would love to find fabrics there.

What a useful collection....I'm off to a local church charity store in a few mins. Finger's crossed!

Nice find!

I think everyone in my area has discovered that they can get fabric at our thrift shops because it has been a while since I found really good deal. I take that back I did find 5 1/2 yards of a pretty purple fabric for $2.65 that will be good for backing.

You have to keep going back, you never know what you'll find. My mom & I went to 4 or 5 different GW stores while she was visiting, found something different in each one!

Picked up some gorgeous curtain swags and what we think used to be a table scarf that will combine into a very stunning Victorian gown. :)

Sometimes you score and sometimes come up empty handed. Our DAV is really the best for finding fabrics.
