Yes, I'm crazy but here is my latest haul from a thrift store. They were nice enough to mark some of the boxes down since I took all of them. I love sewing and find it more fun to take other people's leftover pieces and create something.
There was lots of different kinds of knit. My mom use to make little lap blankets out of knit for when you were watching tv. Back in the day she made her own clothes and after cotton came knit fabrics. Knit is wash and wear because the care is so easy and no wrinkles. The leftovers were always used for these little blankets. The backing is a pale green knit. I bought that bolt of fabric several months ago at a thrift store for 2.99.
This beautiful quilt top was in one of the boxes. I tried to make a star one time before. It's a lot harder than it looks. I'm not a great seamstress but I enjoy sewing. My family and friends suffer through my gifts. This one will stay with me when I finish it.
A few months ago I bought 4 boxes of yarn from a thrift store. They were full of remnant yarns and a few full skeins of yarn.
Those remnants are turning into a scrap granny. A sage green is going on the off white now. Yes, I do have a dozen projects going on at all times. I can't seem to stop myself but I do finish things too so I guess that's okay.
The yarn boxes contained a bunch of plastic canvas cord. I have some plastic canvas but I'm not sure what I am going to do with this.
Thanks for stopping by. Time to crochet now.
