Come along with me whilst I go thrifting for fabric. There's a giveaway too!

Join me on a day out thrifting for fabric to use in my sewing. I'll use it in my embroidery and stitching practice and also to re craft into new clothes.
Looking for fabric is different from looking for clothes that actually fit you. Colour and fabric type come first, and then you need an open mind as to what you might do with it once you've got it home.
I'll show you what I actually got, and share the projects that my haul is likely to be used for.
I hope you'll be inspired to go and have a look at how second hand clothes can enter your stash as fabric to be used in whatever you're making!
At the end I'll give details of a Subscriber Giveaway of something I brought home but realised later that I should just pass it on...
Just comment on this video before I close the entry in two weeks' time at 3 pm GMT +1 on July 21st 2024. I'll add the winners name to the video that is published later that day.

    Hi Marion, it was a pleasure giving you the little bag of oddments from my shop when you visited the town the other week. You are clearly an inspiration to others and I really enjoyed our chat. So pleased you have used some of the items as well as given some away in this Giveaway Sewing Basket at the end of this video. Be sure to pop in again when you next pass as I have some more bits waiting for you. Lee

    My favourite hobby is to find old sewing baskets, boxes and tins filled with someone’s sewing bits and bobs then take it home and sort through the contents. I always think about the person who had collected these items over the years and marvel at the special treasures I find hidden under jumbles of ribbons, threads, laces, bias binding and elastic. I have a special love for buttons, old embroidered name labels, thimbles, pincushions and needle cases. It never bothers me if they are worn or faded - to me I shows that these items were used and cherished. I imagine the original owner sitting in her comfy chair by the fire as she mends clothes and linens in a time before we became such a throw away society. ❤️

    I call it the archeology of sewing paraphernalia. 😊 It's thrilling to hold an artefact in one's hands that someone from long ago used and perhaps cherished. Whether it's beads, lace, a bodkin, a sewing bird, or whatever it may be, it's a connection to the past and a person long passed. Blessings, my sewist sister!

    Marion, you are a true treasure. I ‘found’ your channel late last night (I’m in Australia). I just smiled and smiled watching your video and then I cried because I feel like we are so similar in many ways. I’ve been horribly unwell for a month and have managed to hand quilt a cot sized quilt using my thrifted embroidery threads so to find you made me so happy. I thrift all of my threads and with having pneumonia and also having 11 children (yes, you read that right) it has been very difficult (on my body and heart during my time of being unwell. My children are a pure joy). All I could manage was to lay in bed and have my baby brought to me for me to feed. THANK YOU for being such a bright spot from my sick bed. God bless. Katherine.

    Hello Katherine. I'm so sorry that you haven' been very well. Dealing with 11 children, having pneumonia and being in the heat sounds awful... I'm glad that my little thrifting video brought you some joy. I thrift almost all my supplies but these days I feel I just don't need anything. Which is why I shouldn't have brought the little sewing box home. Things have to go somewhere in the end and I got fed up of just moving my 'stuff' around. If you are on Instagram you can message me through that if you feel you would like to. Sending healing thoughts your way...and hope you are feeling a bit better since last week.

I live in Arizona in the U S and we have only been a state for just over 100 years, practically a newborn by European standards. I have stitched and sewn for all my life, I can’t remember “not” knowing how to sew. Embroidery and slow stitch are my first love, but I quilt, sew, knit, crochet and more. Like you, there are never enough hours in the day! I’ve followed you since nearly the beginning and have learned so much from you, least of which has been the enjoyment of watching you grow from a shy novice to a real pro in the Facebook world!

    We call them 'car boot sales' as you sell from your car's boot. They are a UK tradition, nearly always held very early on a Sunday morning, most towns have them during the spring, summer and autumn months. But occasionally you will find one run on a weekday or a Sat. We also have 'jumble sales' which are pretty much the same thing, but indoors on fold out tables rather than outside from a car.

    The embosser is just a glorious blend of form and function, like the sewing machine. The sewing box reminded me of my grandmother and mother (although I have her basket and it’s round). The tray - along with the bits and bobs - were wonderful to see. I would love it, although I appreciate that I don’t need it, but these are evocative items that bring such joy. I know it will go to a great home whoever is drawn. And I am so looking forward to seeing what you do with all that glorious fabric. You’ve inspired me to start using items inherited from my family. I’ve hoarded them for decades - afraid of using them in case I ‘spoil’ them. Madness. So thank you. I’ve already won because of that.

    Oh Shelley... Great message. I too used to hoard things years ago. As you say.... frightened of spoiling them. That stopped after a shelf in my Mam's china cabinet collapsed and she was so upset that a beautiful teaset belonging to her Grandma had been smashed and she said it had never been used! By anyone.... To me that seemed more upsetting than the breakages and I came home determined to use my things or else give them away. I think about the purpose something was made for... I use it... If it breaks or gets a mark I just think it's part of its life...in the same way that we age and things happen. I don't keep anything ' for best'. Best is every day...☺️

    Thanks for the lovely thrifting chats. Here in Australia thrifts are getting more expensive as the cost of living goes up. You really have to hunt for the bargains. Still I am a sewing bits addict.🤣would be thrilled with the little box.

    Marion, thank you for taking us along on your thrifting adventure! Very exciting to see all your finds! The sewing machine is lovely- even before cleanup. Many years ago around age -2 or 13 I received a similar sewing basket…though smaller than the one you found. I loved it but lost it at some point - we moved around a lot. Thanks for bringing back a wonderful memory!

    Oh how wonderful. I feel like I’ve been thrifting with you. When my husband was stationed at RAF Lakenheath back years ago we would go to boot sales or jumble sales. We found more wonderful treasures. You’re so sweet to give your sewing box away. I hope someone gets it that truly would love/need it. God bless you from the USA.

I think you can find new decals online as I have watched other sewing machine restoration channels and they seem to find them for specific machines.
