This past week we kept our nephews for a couple of days. The oldest wanted to learn to sew (yay!) and this gave me a perfect excuse to make a trip over to the Scrap Exchange. They both found some really cool items to use in various projects and I found some great fabric! Check out these awesome finds!
I love this fabric! This is about 5 yards of cotton fabric for $11!
Some really neat upholstery weight fabric (about 1/2 yard-1 yard each) for $0.75 a piece! I was thinking these would make some neat heavy duty little bags!
Don't you just love this mushroom fabric? There is about 1.5 yards. It is a lovely pale green.
I am not usually a fan of pink, but I thought this pink and green olive print fabric was just too cute!
Oh, and I think this fabric speaks for itself! Blue and brown...circles...yum!
And my new obession with all things corduroy ...this lovely bright blue and yellow! I think I see some more corduroy purses in my future!
These are small swatches of fabric from a display...but I just couldn't pass up these interesting patterns. They were only $0.25 a piece and I thought it would make a great little coin purse! The blue one reminds me of a bee!
And a fat quarter of this yellow stripes and orange flowers pattern!
Here's to being thrifty! Now I guess it's time to stop accumulating fabric and actually do something with it! I just have to figure out what I should do.....any suggestions?
Oh, you can NEVER have too much fabric!! Love the blue one at the top but I have to admit, when the photo came up in my feed reader (in a much smaller scale) I thought it was an ear of blue corn and couldn't figure out what it had to do with fabric. Glad I stopped in to see the rest of the finds. I wish we had somewhere like that close.

Those are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteJudy, I guess it would look like an ear of blue corn in a small thumbnail! How funny! Thanks for stopping by!
