Score! After sew-in today, I stopped at a local thrift store. After finding some great yardage of 3 different 'sewing themed' fabrics, I turned the corner and saw 3 HUGE (comforter size) bags stuffed with fabrics. I could tell that there was lots more 'sewing themed' fabrics in each bag. The bags are stapled shut, so, you don't really know what you are getting until you get home. Well.......

The 2 stacks on the left are all sewing themed fabrics. Several of them are 3-6 yards of the same print. Some are the same line of fabrics, but in 3 different colorways (green, light blue and dark blue/reds). The stack on the right is all quilting cottons, too, from Christmas, to children's prints, etc. One is even an Egyptian themed print.
There were lots of fabrics that were not quilting cottons. I don't sew clothes, so, I'll pass these on at the next guild meeting. There are satins, corduroys, and lots of other clothing fabrics, along with some cottons that I know I won't ever use (not my colors or styles).

Between 3 large bags of fabric, and the yardage that I'd already grabbed, I still spent less than $30 for all of it! SCORE! I've never had such a great day, fabric wise.
Now to figure out how to use all this fabric...... It will take me quite a while, I'm sure.
What a great find you ran into! It probably was a little like Christmas waiting until you got home to see what you got.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic score indeed! We have a new thrift store opened in our town and I have been scoping for fabrics, but none yet.
ReplyDeleteYay! I love when that happens! I bought a bag of fabric at a thrift store that yielded 8 yards of good quilting cottons for a whopping $2...so fun!
ReplyDeleteSewing themed fabric is so much fun. Lucky you to find so much at bargain prices.
ReplyDeleteThat is a HUGE SCORE!!! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteWow, now you can make a sewing themed quilt and all kinds of other fun stuff! At a shop you would have only gotten 3 yards for $30!
ReplyDeleteGreat find!! I can hardly wait to see what you make with all that fun fabric.
ReplyDeleteI'll admit, I was thinking that you might have found another lovely old sewing machine :D
You are such an inspiration. Fun fabric finds.
ReplyDeleteHugs
Your killing me!!! Love your finds.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great find! I love the thought of getting it home and finding treasures in there it sounds like so much fun.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh Cheryl!!!! You DID score girlfriend!!! I'm so tickled for you - and jealous for me LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteI just gifted some fabric to my local Goodwill just last week. I hope it finds a good home.
ReplyDeleteGreat find. I never see stuff like that at the thrift store.
