Actually, I didn't find what I was hoping to find, which was some magical thing to help me organize my sewing/crafting projects. I'm not sure what exactly I wanted, but they didn't have anything that excited me in that area.
What I did find was some cute fabric. I hesitated to buy it, since it was a bunch of fabrics put together in a plastic sack and taped up tight. Kind of a mystery fabric grab bag. You can see what fabrics are on the outside, but you have no idea how much is there and what lies beneath. 5 dollars for a fabric grab bag seemed kind of high, but I liked the fabric I could see and I have a few skirts in mind for my girls, so I grabbed it. I'm so glad I did! Inside the bag was five coordinating prints with plenty of fabric to work with. There are also two flannel pieces, not my favorite colors or pattern, but I'm sure I can find something fun to do with them.
Now I just have to go buy some more white thread. I think it's a sin for a sewing lady like me to run out of white thread, but sure enough, halfway through a fun skirt for the little one, the spool ran dry and I can't find any more in the house. That doesn't mean it's not here, just that I can't find it, which is why I went to the second hand store in the first place. Must find a way to store projects and supplies so I can find them when I need them. I did find bright blue and hot pink spools of thread...
A great set of coordinating prints in that bag!
ReplyDeleteI would have opened the bag... Lol. So great to see you in my comments today. Thank you for your thoughtful insights. :)
ReplyDeleteAh Nancy, it's that non-confrontational thing I have. :)
