Remember a little while back I received a few boxes of fabric? Well I've just received another 24 boxes from the same deceased estate. Come and join me whilst I decide what to keep, and which fabric to sell.

LOL…how could you not buy that roll😱 years ago I went to the Laura Ashley outlet in Bundoora, they had a a whole roll of white fabric, it was really good furnishing weight. The tag said $10, I thought cool, I’ll get a metre make a couple of nice cushions. Take it to the counter, they say oh it’s got a fault in it, I said where they said here…there was a blue thread in the selvedge. I said that no issue it’s in the selvedge and I’d like a metre of it, they said oh no it’s $10 for the whole roll. I had quite the discussion about it with them..but needless to say I took that roll of 25metres for $10. The blue thread was only in the first couple of metres, I’ve got curtains, cushions, bags and I even made a skirt out of it! And I probably still have about 5 metres of it left. So yes, you definitely had to have that roll from the op shop! I just love a good op shop bargain story.

@@ChristinesHomeAffairs When I sewed clothes for my girls, I would swap out pattern pieces so not all of their clothes were identical except the fabric. I changed the neck line, different sleeves, that kind of thing. Pajamas were always fun. The things I did with those. I did save a lot of money there, but it took work. I would trace every size on freezer paper, and put each size in an envelope. My girls were tiny and difficult to find clothes that fit. I had several Moms ask me where I got their clothes, as they couldn't find them. I sheepishly told them, my dining room table. I don't know why I was embarrassed. Maybe because I repurposed clothing from the second hand stores. Sometimes I was able to buy "real fabric" with a ton of coupons, and grandma wanting more points on her card, so she would buy the fabric. But, my clothes! Yikes is it expensive.

I agree that the value is much greater than what I've priced them at, but as my shop is predominantly a second hand/junk store, I need to turn stock over very quickly, otherwise it hangs around too long. I did end up pricing everything at $5 to begin with😀

Hi. Is it possible you could show us how you store your fabric? I am also gifted a lot of fabric. I try my best to use it or rehome it but I am having problems with storing it. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks

Cy, I use comic boards to fold and wrap my fabric. I'll try to do a video soon😀

Winter coming? Are your seasons opposite of ours? We're in spring, and looking forward to summer.

Christine, why on earth would you spend so much time showing us all the huge haul you made with the outlandish amount of fabric you came in to? Poor you, mummy has to come help you with it all. What you can charge for it all. Good grief lady, most of us can't even afford to do any projects at all in a hobby or income source we enjoy so tremendously. Usually I would just not watch you. Which I won't any longer. I am just so gobsmacked that you thot it would be joyful for any of us to see you and mummy revel in your abundance. Really.

Hmm, seems as though you've missed my fabric journey thus far Misty. The men that gave me the fabric are overjoyed that it won't end up in landfill, and are pleased they'll get a little extra cash from the sales I make for them. "Mummy" won't need to help as it's all sorted, but she'll enjoy taking some home.😀

Wonderful haul. So kind and generous. Giving to the sons is so sweet too. Loved it.

If you stop watching Christine, I don't think you will be missed with your negativity.
