Thrifting

Sewing patterns, pillow  forms, emboidery tranfers,
but note that bag.

Do dads, quilt patterns  even some farmy ones, doll fabric
Quilting patterns whoop ya




Note the bag what are the odds of finding a bag with your screen name or blogger name on it . I was just thrilled over this purchase. It was a grand thrifting day!  Then off to quilting store and scored some fabric there. Farmy ones are so hard to come by here or vintage looking as in the one with measuring tape on it. So I was very pleased with my day hope yours went as well as mine did.

Books I thrifted yesterday which have shown me how to do some necessary altering. Do not let your serger win.


Two more serged shirts
. So fast to do on a serger why did I ever fear using it.

I purposely rethreaded so I would get over my fears.
