OMG. A treasure.

I frequently increase my stash from goodwill and other thrift shops. Sometimes the fabric is hard to find. I have found it in bins in with the sheets and bedding, or folded over a hanger with the towels and curtains. I have increased my stash 3-fold over the last month by finding fabrics that way. Most are leftovers from some sewing project, but there are some good yardage pieces to be had also.
Another place to look is in the pillowcases. You can find some that are almost like new for 35 -50 cents each. These are usually good sturdy cotton, but just check the labels and strength of the material to make sure. You can cut a lot of pieces out of a pillowcase. |
I've not been to thrift stores in a while, I sure need to go often and look hard.

Something is wrong somewhere, my posts this morning have usually been doubled, nothing I'm doing wrong.

Wow! If they were on ebay, it sure would have cost you much more! What a steal!

Speaking of thrift store finds, I just bought a baggie of the 6" metal hem gauges that some have mentioned in our chats. There are 19 of them in the baggie. I payed $2.99. I would share them but I'm pretty sure the postage would be more than the cost of buying one at the store. I also made a major score of 11 sheets and 23 pillowcases, 5 cotton napkins 6 pieces of fabric remnants and a cotton skirt all for $22.00. They gave me a special price for buying so many. I'll try to get a photo of everything tomorrow to show you what I have.
