WOWOW Jen, these fabrics are exceptional. The tones in that tweed, and the peach plaid shirting fabric are all so lovely! Beautiful finds, what a fabulous organization allowing us to rescue fabrics!
Glad you like them!
Praise the Lord, What an amazing blessing!!! I am so happy for your free fabric finds!!! ❤❤❤
Thank you! 😊 He is so good to us!
Wow! Lucky You! Have fun with your haul. So anxious to see your final makes with these.
Me too!!
The mother of all loads lol. All the cuts are great finds and I think the denim is my favorite. Can’t wait to see that skirt.
Thanks so much!
@@TodayinJensSewingRoom lol demon is never my favorite. Darn auto complete. Needed to correct that fast to denim.
You are so funny! The throwing of the fabric is hysterical.
I love doing it. It's very satisfying. The trouble is - it makes a mess to clean up! LOL
That tweed is everything. 🤩😘💗
Right? Gorgeous. Someone was going to make something really special. Love you! ❤️😘🤗😘
That was an impressive haul! Looks like you have some awesome design ideas. The skirt with all the buttons is stunning. I hope you make that and do a pattern review. Have a great day!
I hope so too!
Deooling over those rayons!!! I have made those two Mccalls shirt patterns you heldnup together, and like them both. You made an awesome haul!
I was thinking you'd made one but I didn't know you made them both. Once again I'm benefitting from your expertise! xoxox
The blue looked like cut ends from commercial use. Gonna have to wear a slip under the light stripe I think you’ll need a slip or line it. Interesting to see. Fun haul.
Good call!
WOW! All I can say is WOW! All that for free! You found some amazing fabrics!!
Thank you! 😊
I love your hair in that platinum color. Very nice haul! Thanks for your content.
Thanks me too! Embracing the small amount of grey in my hair, trying to get there as painlessly as possible. I wish I had enough grey to just let it grow out!
Love your fabric gifts. Great find. 👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you! 😊
The S9272 cardigan is one of my TNTs. Love that pattern. Toile it first as the sleeve scythe is a little tight. Beautiful fabric haul.
Thanks for the tips!
Wowzer! what a awesome haul of fabric you got. You are for sure going to be spending time in your beautiful sewing room.
You think? I think I over did it a bit . . .
Jen, what a ‘haul’! WOW😊 And, your “eye” for material/pattern matching is superb! Love it! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks!
You got the best fabric this time. WOW….your so lucky. I especially love the blue pink flowered one. I made one vogue pattern and had a hard time understanding. Now I try to stay away from them. I am sure whatever you make with it will be lovely 😊. I love watching your show. I. Also watch Pinky’s farm and Michele and Andrea….love the sewing shows, your shows inspire me so much. Have a blessed day.
Your favorites are my favorites!
Jen, that was fun! For that large print that is a little see through, maybe make the lined dress? Anyway, thanks for sharing.
That is an excellent idea! Why didn't I think of that?
Great haul! Oh what fun....... possibilities.
Thanks so much!
Wow - that shop sounds amazing! Jen - that tweed is gorgeous! 100% Chanel jacket would be fabulous! 🧵 LOVE the plans for the ticking! 🧵I love the idea of that blue stripe with that vintage pattern - that will be adorable. What a great haul!
Right?! 🤗😘❤️
Wow! I wish there was something like that near where I live in the UK! I always look out for bed linen when I go "thrifting", and I'm delighted with what I find, but it's never free of charge... And such beautiful fabrics, too! From that very bright print fabric, you could make a stunning pair of palazzo pants for the summer? You're going to have so much fun, whatever you decide.
I just learned that you don't have flat sheets, just duvet covers. How odd to an American! Palazzo pants are a great idea!
@@TodayinJensSewingRoom we do have flat sheets as well as fitted sheets in the UK, but most often in our charity shops we only find duvet covers. The latter are great, particularly King Size ones, as they provide very wide pieces of fabric, often in really pretty prints. I've made several garments out of duvet covers, as well as numerous muslins... Whatever use they are put to, I am always thrilled to find nice cotton duvet covers! 😊
Thank you for sharing this.n I used to live near Knoxville and now live near Chattanooga. I will be going there the next time I am up that way.
Great finds! I'm not far from there but had no idea it existed! Will have to check it out.
Please do!
For the voile, I like the large print for a duster. I believe they're in fashion now.
Great idea!
Wow, what a fantastic haul. Amazing that they give it away for free. I’m excited to see them get sewn up.
Me too! Hopefully soon!
Oh Jen! That denim will make a beautiful skirt! The tweed is gorgeous, as are many of the other fabrics. That floral rayon that you said were all your colours, screamed Laura Ashley at me lol 😂
Yep it's screaming Laura Ashley at me too. We shall see! And thanks for the info on the denim. Wonder if I can use that selvedge? Again, we shall see . . .
That suiting is beautiful, Marie with My Bucolic Life just made a Chanel suit 😀the fabric are great, what a find! The rayon could be a Laura Ashley dress.
Great idea!
Once again, gold,gold,gold, you found the mother load once again, all beautiful
Thanks again!
With all that fabric, you might need to hit the Butterick sale that starts Thursday at Joann's. Maybe this time they'll actually be on sale.
LOL - more patterns. Because I need more patterns -
Fabulous haul and free too. Amazing find Jen.
I agree!
Wow, what a blessing to have your steps ordered in the right direction. You have a lot to choose from and to keep you busy.
You have no idea. I filmed all the hauls at once and had a pile so big I couldn't get out of the room. Kind of excessive - I need to make a point to sew for some other people! ❤️
How cool is that!
So true!
I was thinking that fabric you weren't sure about a camp shirt....what about a big, full wrap skirt. That could really show off the print and I love wrap skirts because they always fit :)
True! If I lined it, that would be beautiful.
That gorgeous tropical fabric would make a great top for the pink skirt you’re making, what a fun outfit. I might have to lookout for some loud and lovely fabric to do that with.
Great idea!!
Great finds! I need to road trip to Knoxville! That rayon would make a beautiful dress🥰
Cheryl
You should!
Very nice fabric haul and patterns. Would be nice to find a place like that in my area of South Carolina to get a variety of fabrics for free. I actually have some fabric I would donate.
Good luck!
Great haul something to ponder on how exciting
It really is!
Great haul. Have a great day.
Thank you! You too!
Love all your fabric. I always worry you are going to knock down something important when you toss the fabric behind you. lol
No worries - it never gets that far.
I love the fabric and pattern pairings
Thanks so much!
Wow! What a great find.
So true!
I was saying in my mind, "camp shirt". Jen's says, "I was considering a camp shirt". like minds......
So true! 😂
Nice score Jen! I need to go on a road trip on the East coast.
You should!
What an amazing haul!!
Thank you!! 😊
Oh man, road trip!
Great idea!
Just curious how that store makes a profit to pay employees. Finding it a bit interesting. Private funding or what? Great fabrics and in such good condition. Jen, I just looked up the workshop on line and I’m thinking it’s a city sponsored project-maybe. I would love to be a part of something like that where I live. I may contact them for more info. Thanks for sharing!
I think they volunteer - and surely it has something to do with the city since they're in the community center. I hope you can find out more and even become involved!
I would really like to go there. Where is it? I live in Powell, TN.
It's in Knoxville - there's a link in the description box.
Jen what is that dress pattern behind you on the maniquin? I love that pattern and material!!
That is Vogue 9357 from an old sheet. It needs to be made to fit.
I would like to take a road trip with my bestie and visit the community center. Can you send me the address? Watch you and look forward to each and every episode. Thanks for your energy….
Just check the facebook page that's linked in the description box. It has directions.
@@TodayinJensSewingRoom great. Thanks.
Jen, what is going on with your eye? The tweed that you got, is it dry clean only?
Probably dry clean only (it did not go into the washer) - and obviously I am eyeliner challenged. Ugh, makeup! I mess it up all the time and it's going to be the same in several videos. It's what I get for using black - sorry!
Oh no don't be sorry 🤪 I was just worried you had an injury.
