Thrifty fabric!




I scored big at our local thrift store a couple of weeks ago. Especially since everything was half off the already low price! A lot of these were at least 3 yard cuts of fabric. Found some fun vintage prints—one a single-knit poly, one a double-knit poly, and one a heavy weight cotton. The double-knit tulips are being used in a project already. I love the little retro nautical kids in their bell bottoms! The green plaid is a soft heavier weight cotton, at least 3.5 yards, and the fun orange plaid feels like it could be a wool-blend. I could be wrong, not really sure how to tell. I also have been on the look out for vintage sheets to make into crib sheets for our little one on the way. I think I did pretty good. I should be able to make 6 sheets out the the $7 I spent! Oh and I couldn't pass up the embroidery hoops. And since my purchase I've had an idea for Christmas ornaments and need to find some more of the tiny ones. I love finding a good deal and all of these fabrics were in excellent shape. Everything is washed up and ready to be transformed into something fun :).

What an awesome score! I'm just a wee bit jealous and can't wait to see how the projects turn out.
