I have been seeing all the great finds that people have posted from thrift stores, so I decided to give it a try myself.
I went shopping over the weekend and stopped in at a fairly new thrift store. I found a package marked material for $3.99 and it was full of calico fabric. Imagine my surprise when I got home, to find that it was an estimated total of about 12 yds!!!! |
what a find. Enjoy!
|
Man I really need to find one of these thrift shops. You are all so very lucky to have shops with these kinds of treasures.
|
Yippie! That is so cool!
|
Wonderful find!!!!I think I have that brown with the little roses that is on the bottom..... :thumbup:

|
I don't know how you guys find those deals. I never seem to find those kinds of buys when I am out and about. Good job!!

Score :thumbup: So what are you going to make with it :lol:

AAHHhhhhhh, another one joined our bargain hunter group! I've got to go grocery shopping today and thought that a trip to Goodwill wouldn't be that far out of the way. Then if I go to Goodwill, Salvation Army thrift store is nearby...... Our Goodwill sells their fabric for 42 or 72 cents a yard. I've often wondered how they came up with that price.
Looks like you got a marvelous bargain. Congratulations. |
wow, good for you. :-D
|
I guess I don't live in the right area, I keep trying out our thrift stores, but NO great deals like these!!! Enjoy!!!
|
You hit the "jackpot" with this find! CONGRATULATIONS!! :)
|
Great haul!!! Good Job!!!
|
Great find, happy sewing.
|
when I go in the junk shops I look for large skirts that are cotton or large dresses. They can cut up into a nice size piece of fabric. I also check out the bedding. I have found lap size throws that are one piece of cotton print. Sheets are great for backings on a quilt or for piecing if the sheet is 100% cotton. Larger size blouses can be a source too of good piecing cotton fabric. Also watch for the sales they post. Our Good Will will mark stuff down on certain days.

great. don't you just love finding treasures..i love thrift shopping..have found alot of fabric..i bet you'll be checking back at that thrift store often..happy shopping.. :D :D
|
I love thrift shops, but I've never looked for fabric. Guess I'll need to make a trip.
|
Great find! Lucky you! I sometimes find fabric in thrift stores too but not at that price!
|
Well! the "word" must be out at all my thrift stores, cause all I ever find is polyester KNIT in some pretty strange colors. I WILL keep looking....
|
Wowsers! A find like that would just about pay for the plane fare.
I've never seen anything like that in a thrift shop here; though one day I just know that's exactly what's going to happen to my entire stash: somebody is going to get lucky -unless I make it clear to DD that I want to take it with me. Now there's an idea. I hasten to add, my preference is to get through it myself and I still have a long way to go. Well done. Great find. Enjoy it. |
How super for you! Also yard sales sometimes you can find some really neat fabrics.
|
Ooh, I like it all. Great job.
|
Great find!
|
You did good . congradulation . Theresse
|
Wow - what a find - fantastic :)
|
Nice find! Lucky you and have fun!!
|
Great find!!! Lucky you!!!
LOL!! I know I have some of the dark brown too!! :P |
You have to be a frequent shopper at thrift stores and yard and estate sales. I sometimes go to several each week for several weeks before I find a good deal. Persistance is the answer.
|
Lucky you! I'm happy for you! :-D
|
You did good. Great find.
