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
You are a generous man!
Hi Marion, what a lovely video, loved the things you got, seems a good boot sale, could you let me know where it is? I live in Durham dales also, thankyou so much. X🧡
Oh how beautiful!!! ❤❤
How much joy is passed on and does the circle of wonderfulness when we all give of ourselves. Thankyou Lee for giving Marion those wonderful bits and bobs because WE now get to enjoy them too!! ❤❤❤
Wow, how lovely.
Ohhh that was fun to go on this adventure with you. Everything you got was so interesting!!! I loved the little sewing box too. Thank You for all you share!!!!❤❤❤❤😊
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. ❤️
Hallo Marion,
Dank je wel voor je leuke en inspirerende filmpjes. Ik kijk er heel graag naar.
Ik zou graag het mooie rieten vintage mandje van jou toegestuurd krijgen. Ik heb ook net als jou iets met oude spullen. Ik zou het heel bijzonder vinden als ik dit van jou zou krijgen.
Liefsss Joke🥰❤️
I love that too.
Yes to all of this message 👍☺️🪡🧵
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!
I do the same thing
I love to find old sewing baskets and boxes at estate and yard sales. Usually no one else even looks at it. I have quite a collection.
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.
This amazing mother of 11 children deserves to win the lovely sewing basket.
I have found slow stitching in my retirement years and love watching this clever and yet so humble Marion.
Sad to hear you are unwell and with a newer baby too besides your lovely large family! ❤ sent up a prayer for you to feel better soon.
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.
Dear Marion this world needs more people like you! So sweet and generous. Thank you for all the tutorials and inspiration that you share with us all. The time spent thrifting with you in this video was a pleasure, hearing you interact with the vendors and listening to your thought process on purchasing your items.
The sewing basket is truly a treasure!
Thank you Marion! ❤
You're most welcome Serena ☺️🌿
Your videos are always such good company on a Sunday afternoon. I think it's really sweet that you want to share your bounty with your viewers. Thanks for taking us along with you!
We see you're still wearing your butterfly .wonderful
What a generous giveaway. I don't need to be in it, I'm winnowing rather than collecting right now. But someone is going to be so happy!
I enjoyed your come along with me thrift shopping . It was fun . Looking forward to watching more of your videos. The little sewing basket is adorable. A very sweet gift
What lovely treasures you got Marion , I would love to win the sewing basket , I definitely could do with one ❤xx
Would love to win the sewing box. Whoever the winner is will be thrilled to receive the sewing box. xx
Hello Marion, I am 82 years old and I remember using a sewing basket just like that when my girls were growing up it was full of ribbons for hair, buttons for cardigans, clips and many other things that probably shouldn’t have been in there, thank you for bringing back so many memories what a gem you are.
Lovely memories....
The Singer sewing machine in the coffin case for 10 pounds? LUCKY! 🙂
😅
Marion, you are absolutely right about the sewing basket find. A beginner as I am would love to have a treasure such as this-especially after you load it up with
more great sewing stuff. To give it away is so generous and kind to your viewers. I’m so glad Lee actually found your channel and understands how special you are to your subscribers. Sometimes it’s hard (at least for me) to find someone who appreciates the things we create and the reasons we like to do so. Thanks again Marion❤
🪡🧵💐
I can't wait to watch this! I just had to say that I have more thrifted haberdashery, fabric and notions than I could ever use in this lifetime and yet I still want more 😆😆😆
My nieces and nephews are either going to love or hate me when I finally fall off my perch.
I just finished watching your video, Marion and though you call us stars, you are the brightest star of all of us ✨️. Your Singer reminded me of my mom's old Singer which sat on a treadle, actually it lay inside the treadle stand which we used as a telephone table. I used to sit on the phone and treadle away while chatting to friends 🤣. Your sewing box find is gorgeous and since you will be doing the draw the day before my birthday I'll be holding both thumbs and crossing fingers 🤞 🤞🤞🤞🤞
I learned to machine sew on my Great Grandma's treadle machine. How I wish I still had it. Goodness knows what happened to it after I got married and moved out. Mam probably just got rid. No-one seemed to want then in the 70's.
I laughed when I read your comment! I’m always saying I need Toget I’d of some of my ‘stuff’ so there’s not such a big job for my family…but the trouble is I love it all!
@@marionsworld24 such a shame, I desperately wanted a treadle machine, just because they are so beautiful. In the end I bought two and amalgamated them, the woodwork had to be fully restored, and I cleaned the machine. This is quite a few years ago now and I still haven’t actually sewn with it! The machine has a lovely smooth motion so I see no reason why it wouldn’t work - you have inspired me to get some cloth and give it a go, thank you
Marion I love your videos and I really enjoyed going thrifting with you. 😊 Didn’t we find some beautiful fabrics, and that embosser was to special to pass up, we had such a good day 😉😂😂 Seriously though I am waiting to see the skirt you make with those two skirts… I love the floral one. I have not sewn clothes for myself since I was first married because I was never comfortable using the sewing machine. I’d like to have another try using thrifted fabrics so I’ll be watching closely 😊 I’m very happy that you found Lee’s antique shop that was a generous gift he gave you and it sounds as if there will be more. You deserve such kindness Marion. Best wishes, Trish. 🥰🌻🇦🇺
Oh wow, what a wonderful thrifting adventure! The sewing basket! The cotton sheet! So many treasures!
I’m so happy that your video randomly showed up on my home page. My little person and I have just had a beautiful time watching your thrifting adventure and enjoying your accent. We are now planning our own op shop adventure to look for supplies for some dress up costumes. Thank you for the inspiration!
Me too! Loved it. New sub
I love how you much you appreciate things that most of the world overlooks or dismisses. Don’t ever change Marion!
☺️💐
What a happy visit today Marion! Your such a lovely person. Have a most wonderful day!
I also wanted to comment on how you make tops out of embroidered pieces you have thrifted. Such a talent you have taking any material and repurposing it for a useful and delightful item to wear. I would love to spend a week learning your tricks. You have taught me so much so I hope you keep these videos coming. Thank you so much.
It was wonderful seeing you find shoes to match your skirt, and I love the blouse you are wearing as you share what all you brought home. Those kind of trips make the best day ever!
I was so happy that the shoes fit me as they looked like they were made to go with my skirt 👍☺️
You are just a delight! This is the vibe I love to embroider to when I am working quietly in my studio. I'm an anglophile and your thrifting in the most charming places just lights my heart on fire. Love you!
Thank you Marion for letting us tag along, what a great experience 😊💙
A lovely adventure……so many treasures. I have a quote - ‘objects’ are the material embodiment of lives lived -
Couldn't agree more 👍
Nothing lovelier than accompanying Marion on her thrifting adventutes and then sharing her finds and ideas with us. The box filled with treasures is indeed a beauty! Thank ypu from Amelia in Tasmania
Thanks Amelia
My Nanna had a, box just like this when I was a child, brings back so many happy memories watching your video x
It is wonderful to watch you see the beauty in the old sewing box and the Singer machine. What tales they could tell us! Can’t wait to see you work your magic on them. Thank you for sharing your thrifting expedition with us.
Marion love your vlogs 🤍 I'm amazed by your trifting vlog and everything there was so aestheic.
👍
Marion, you are such an inspiration to me. I have just rediscovered stitching at almost 70 years old and found your channel from k3n. Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm and authenticity. It was lovely to come along thrifting with you. It was like going with a friend. It is so generous of you to want to share such a lovely sewing basket in order to help others get started in a beautiful way. Thanks for all you do!
Thank you for coming across to see what I'm doing... 👍💐
What a fantastic video! Watching from Australia. I especially love the old sewing machine, I look forward to seeing if you can restore it and sew a treasure on it.
I just love that sewing box, they are extremely hard to find in Australia!
Best wishes to you!
Loved the trip to the car boot! We don’t really have anything like that here, especially in the summer, it was 118* F yesterday! What we consider “old” is practically new by your standards. 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! Love you, Marion!
Thanks so much Diana 💐 it's definitely been an unexpected journey for me that's for sure!
Also.. that means the sewing machine was an adult before Arizona was a state 😱
@@dianawilson9326 Hi Diana I am in Arizona too! My husband and I live off grid in Golden Valley. It has been hot, hot 🔥 here.
Being from Louisiana, I've never seen a car-park thrift. It was gracious of the vendors to allow your filming so we could see all the goodies. You really scored big time with the seal and the sewing machine. I hope you find a new seal and get the sewing machine in working order. Thank you for the opportunity to win that sweet sewing basket. Thanks for sharing. :)
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.
I'm looking forward to dealing with the sewing machine ☺️
The sewing box is beautiful. How generous of you to think of giving it away - I’m not sure I would be as kind with such a Beautiful thing!!
Hello, Marion 🌞
I am so happy you popped onto my TH-cam feed. I normally do not watch others “thrifting” as I do quite a bit to my husband’s dismay. I too see opportunities in just about all that I lay my eyes on as I too love crafting and creating. This can be a happy burden for I have to “purge” every so often. 😁
By the way, I bought one of those sewing baskets but in red and gave it to my beloved Mother. It came back to me after her passing but this time, filled with her sewing bits and bobs…bittersweet 💕
A happy burden.... I like that 👍
I love your channel, Marion. You are such an inspiration. I’m 83 years old this year and just discovered slow stitching and am loving it. Thanks for taking us on a thrifting tour and for gifting some lucky person with that beautiful basket! Dianne Langtry
Thank you Dianne...
What a great video- as always Marion. You are truly inspirational. Can’t wait to see you restore the beautiful sewing machine. The sewing basket with all its bits and bobs is a fabulous give away. Who doesn’t love to sort through and treasure these magical collections of crafty jewels. None of your subscribers for sure, we’re all enthusiasts. Thank you for sharing your creativity with us. Xx
Thank you Lynne
I always feel peacefully inspired by your videos. I love just watching you stitch or whatever you are doing, but also you make me want to do it myself. Thank you.
Its so nice to have found you today. I'm in Canada, I'm a senior who loves all things vintage, especially fabric. I'm excited to binge watch your videos today!
Brilliant.. I hope you enjoy it all. Thank you for watching 💐
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...☺️
@@marionsworld24 Your message is so lovely. Thank you. My mother was a Loughborough lass, always called my Grandma ‘Mam’. Tears in my eyes. I’ve been using Grandma’s embroidery threads and just finished some designs she’d ironed on 40 years ago. Felt like I was holding her hand when I was working on those pieces. Some might say it’s foolish, but to me it felt like love. And yes, as you say, it’s all part of its life. I’ve made those embroideries in honour of Florrie. Hope she’d be pleased they didn’t go to waste. 💜
@@marionsworld24 Should add - I was born on the other side of the world from where my mother grew up. Until I saw your story about your Mam, my mother was the only person I had ever seen write that word. In letters that started “Dear Mam”.
@@marionsworld24Yes! I am downsizing now . I am using a jadite sugar bowl for my fake sugar packets ! Whats the use having things you just end up dusting and washing? Ive got enough sewing items from thrifting I don't need to buy ! Needle packets and pincushions , embroidery threads and hoops! Silver scissors for embroidery at 1 $ each! A little polishing and good to go! Thimbles for a child fit me fine ! Mens shirts are great for quilting! I get cottonand linen in any size but 3x gets a lot more! 😊 Ive had a sort out and Ive begun to haul bags to the thrift center that supports any needy person ! I still enjoy watching you and others find treasures and save costs ! Enjoy! 🎉🎉
I have my grandmother's red tea pot. It has flowers on the front. It was a wedding gift to her 96 years ago. I was born on their 24th wedding anniversary. So, seeing yours is the first time I have ever seen another red teapot. Thank you ❤
Red 🫖 twins .☺️

Just love all your videos Marion - the variety amazes and totally entrances me. I stitch along when I can - thank you so much for all your kindness and sharing with us
Thank you for taking everyone thrifting. It was nice to see all the things of another country. I really enjoy your channel you inspire me to make things.
Marion, I'm so pleased that you filmed your thrifting expedition. You found some wonderful clothes/fabric and bits and bobs! What a generous sweet giveaway. The sewing basket will indeed be a super treasure for the lucky winner. Have a happy day - Heidi
Hi ya Marion, I am new to stitching and cross stitching, my wife papercrafts and paints, but during the pandemic I had a very stressful time in work (I am a bio chemist) and my mental health suffered greatly, I am still not back to where I was and only work part time, but my doctor told me to take up a hobby to help with my stress and anxiety, my Nan has always sewn and we decided to try cross stitching together, I don’t have much in the way of stash, I stitch complimentary charts from designers that I can print off at the library and I do try charity shopping for supplies, I am loving stitching and so is Nan, I have introduced her to TH-cam and when we are together we watch our favourites, which you have now become, such interesting crafts and I am getting very excited and inspired so thank you so much.
What a lovely message thank you. I hope things are better for you now than they were. The pandemic definitely took a hard toll on everyone. Some coped better or worse.. I'm sorry to hear you had a difficult time.
It's lovely that you and your Nan are enjoying sewing together... you're building memories ☺️👍🪡🧵
I just discovered your channel. It was so fun to watch and thrift with you. That sewing basket would look so perfect in my home so I'm tossing my name in the hat. I'll be back for more fun. Thanks.
This was so fun to watch! Thank you for all of the thrifting ideas! We don't have the lovely outdoor markets as you do. The UK is lovely and the people so friendly! From Alabama USA
That singer is gorgeous. what a great find. I have a 1909 Singer Treadle Machine and I LOVE HER...
That's wonderful... I learned machine sewing on my Great grandmothe's treadle..💐
Prices in the USA
Wooden Quill Bobbin $2.50
Sewing machine has a wide range $12.00 - $450.00

Treasures ❤
Thank you for sharing this treasure hunt trip with us. There was certainly a lot to behold! I too enjoy collecting and repurposing the treasures that I find and also have a new found appreciation for antique sewing machines. That Singer will be a beauty with a bit of oil and cleaning! Great find for sure!
I love the fact that you shop for things to reuse I love the sewing basket
I LOVE that basket!! I subscribed to your channel today and so enjoyed it! Thrifting is my favorite thing to do! But that basket!! Just gorgeous! I will be watching again. Molly from Texas-
Marion, I just stumbled upon your adventure and it made my day. I felt as if I was finding treasures along with you. Thank you for the fun! I would love the sewing box as I get lost in taking scraps of fabric from here and there for slow stitching…my favorite escape after work. I subscribed so I can follow more of your adventures.
Thank you for taking us along on your fabric thrifting journey. I think half the fun of finding sewing boxes is unpacking the bits to see what magic can be made from them. 😃
Definitely!
I love your little sewing box. That would be nice to take on a road trip or keep by the sofa to work on small projects.
I enjoy your shopping. And love the sewing machine you found 👍🏼‼️😍
TY😊 for motivation using clothing for sewing fabric projects. Enjoyed thrifting with you. Lovely Sewing Box🥰
What a fun video, shopping with you was quite fun. I love thrifting for clothing fabric too, what a sweet little sewing box you have found, wishing you all my best.
This was such fun, I love old things too. I kept all my mothers linen napkins after she passed, I have enough to make curtains for my bedroom. She was a collector of lovely fabrics too, couldn't pass them by.😊 This adventure with you will get me motivated to make them now. Thank you.
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.
Hi, Marion, I do the same thing, buying cute sewing baskets and bixes because they're complete, a great price, or need to be rescued. I just can't help myself. I also bought a coffin case sewing machine, which sits in my garage waiting for me to give it some love. It was the case and it's little jey that got me. I just couldn't walk away. Thanks for sharing!😊
I know exactly! We're twins at heart 👍☺️
Ohh, Marion! What a lovely giveaway! I lost my breath, when I saw you buying it at the market and again, when I realized you would give it away! The sewing basket will be more than welcome in my craft room here in Denmark.
Good luck 👍
What a lovely video Marion. My daughter’s boyfriend lives in the UK and has talked about car boot sales so I was happy to see what it’s all about. I love thrifting - I’m impressed with your restraint lol. Very generous of you to offer the sewing basket give away. Someone will be very lucky to
I want to thank you for your unique use of embroidered tablecloths, and the shopping trip was delightful. [I would have purchased the little red teapot also. ] Fun. Fun. Fun.
Hello! I just found your channel! It is nice to see a UK based thrifting channel and I would love to have that wee sewing basket you were lucky enough to have found! I look forward to your new videos and to watching your past videos! Oh and that sewing machine! Another lucky find! 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. Good luck with the restoration of that little gem!😀🥰
I think I'll be hand painting them back on. The dacals here cost a fortune I'm afraid....😏
I enjoy finding old sewing, knitting, and vintage linens. Your video was fun to watch.
What a beautiful little sewing box! And the sewing machine.... what a find!!
Hi Marion, I am a subscriber and absolutely adore your calming and charming personality. No wonder everyone you meet is delighted to help you and give you free things. Even your interaction with your ladies shows how sincere and attentive you are. I’m not surprised by your generosity in sharing that beautiful antique sewing basket with your subscribers for their enjoyment. Born in the USA, I can remember my grandmother with her sewing basket hand stitching and repairing our clothes. This was in the 1950s before anyone every heard of recycling. Thanks again for taking us along on this wonderful educational journey.
I recently watched a British tv show called “Countdown” (on TH-cam), which is a game show about words & numbers. The “dictionary lady” expert (she’s a lexicographer & an etymologist) said there’s a new word in town: PRECYCLING. Basically it’s meant to describe the practice of buying as few as possible *new* things, and instead making do with old & gently used items or re-purposing them. Apparently although “reduce, re-use, recycle” is a mantra that many of us are familiar with, everyone seems only focused on the “recycle” part. My own friends used to tease me when I saved tin foil and milk bags to clean & use again, saying I’m acting like a survivor of the Great Depression era. I had to remind them of the “re-use” part of that ecology triad, and that I wasn’t being cheap, I was being planet 🌎 friendly!❤
Totally agree with all of this message 👍☺️
Re-using can save so much money..and is kinder for the planet. Who cares if it reminds people of the depression or the war days... people found how to make do and mend. Repairing and appreciating things is as good for the planet as it is for the soul 💐💕
They knew how to mend beautifully in those days. Sadly it's almost a lost art form. I mend things all the time but there's so many people who would look down on that these days...
Thelma writes: Hi Marion, what I love about you is you are so down to earth, thrifty and always bring the best of every thing old and new. Love all your findings, the fabrics from the clothes you have bought and especially the sewing box, it is something that I would treasure to keep my bits and pieces in. Last but not least, I love your short hair Marion, it really does suit you and also I love your vintage blouse and the butterfly you created, so gorgeous, what a lucky butterfly to be on such a heart warming lady. Bless you always Marion. ❤🦋🦋
Thanks so much Thelma 💐
Antique stores and flee markets are a fantastic place for sewing things.
I would love to be picked for the sewing basket
ahh a woman after my own heart .... i love the rush of a good market or thrift shop haul... thanks for your kindness and generosity xx
This video was so much fun! I have a hard time walking away from things at the thrift store, especially something as sweet as those sewing boxes and tins! Amazing find on the sewing machine, I love restoring antique machines. ❤
I've not had one in quite such a state before... Hoping I can get it looking lovely again...
I enjoyed your video so much. It makes me wish I could go there. You found some real treasures. I am so glad you bought the sewing box. I couldn't have left it there either. I would love to have the sewing box!
As a collector of button and beads I would have been overjoyed to find that treasure, I am like a magpie anything shiny I’m all over it, what a perfect thrift day, love the sewing box.
Michelle from Australia- first time watching your channel and so pleased it came up on my feed bar.
As a teenager the sewing basket was an extravagance -now that I'm older finding one the way that you did at the garage sale is a real delight. Thank you for sharing and I'm sure whoever receives this treasure will appreciate your kindness.
🧵🪡💐
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!
I just quite by accident found you and your content. A delightful sewing sister. I have sewn since age 11, now 63.😂💚 I would love to come thrift with you but living across the pond as they say, would be difficult at this time.....I so enjoyed the thrifting video and the linens which were so beautiful. Have always adored BEAUTIFUL handmade items. Peace, love and light.......,💚
Thanks so much Joy...and welcome to my channel 💐
Hello Marion, what a breath of fresh air you are! I loved wandering about car boot sales looking for fabrics and crafting stash, alas am unable to do so now due to arthritis. Finding little treasures like the sewing box are a thing of the past for me now as I can't get out but going round the charity shop and bootsy with you was wonderful. Thank you so much. I am really looking forward to watching more of your videos. Sending love and hugs x
Thanks Andi 💐
Thanks for taking us along on your thrifting adventure 😊
I wish I could have gone thrifting with you. You found such lovely treasures! The sewing box would be so lovely here.
That would be a huge treasure for sure to win! I can tell you that the sewing box is a lovely find, and would bring great joy to any of us.
Oh.. scrolling down on messages...i see you've made a few together and I'm answering them out of sequence 😂
Beautiful sewing box! I enjoyed the trip through the “thrift shop”. Beautiful sewing machine! Love antiques!
I love thrifting and what a joy to join you for it. Your sewing basket is gorgeous and I can see why you brought it home! How kind to help it find a new home, complete with lovely sewing supplies. Cheers, Christine 💙🧵🪡
Thanks Christine. I've come to the realisation that I really don't need half the stuff I have, never mind buying more. Even if it is thrifted... If I don't have what I think I want... I just try using something else instead..☺️
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.
Hi Marion. It's always lovely to see your smiling face come up on my feed. I too am a collector/lover of all thing about sewing and creating. I love a good thrift! Thank you for all that you share. I've learned so much from you. :) :)
💐
Such a lovely shopping trip. Thank you for sharing.
That sewing machine is so sweet! I would love to find something like that to fix up. You are correct in noting that the bobbin was with it because so often the bobbin gets lost and finding one that fits correctly can be very challenging. The hand crank is as valuable as the machine! The ones we get made in China hardly work at all and take so much work right out of the box to be useful at all. Thank you for taking us with you Marion!!!!
I'm looking forward to starting the clean up. I'll do my best to get it back to looking lovely again 👍
Hello Marion, what an inspiration you are. I absolutely love your channel and look forward to every episode. The vintage sewing box with all its treasures is delightful and I cant wait to see how you renovate the sewing machine. ❤
Hello, Marion! I just happened upon your TH-cam today and what a lovely surprise! It was so fun to go along with you on this thrifting trip. The piece of cloth you want to make sleeves out of is just gorgeous. My great grandmother use to do that kind of threadwork. I wish I still had some of that for my quilting and embroidery projects. I just adore the sewing basket and the goodies inside as well as the amazing beads etc. you were gifted from Lee. What fun finds you made. Thank you for 'finding me' and bringing me along. I'm looking forward to watching all of your videos, past and future.
💐😊
Marion I loved your video, it opened my eyes to the endless possibilities of thrifting. I am now going to look through past videos, for other crafting ideas. I can't wait to see what you do with the fabrics that you bought, and the restoration of the sewing machine. The sewing basket is lovely.
Oh my goodness the sewing box you got from the thrift store is so awesome. What a treasure. I would adore to have such a great treasure. I live in the United States and watch all your videos. Even have my husband watch with me sometimes.
Hi Marion, what a wonderful trip to the car boot you took us on. I love your videos , so calming.
Hello Marrion, I've subscribed, but only about a month ago when I found you. I think yours is my favorite channel to watch. You have the sweetest soft voice and personality. You are so talented, imaginative, and do such beautiful work. I especially like that you don't drown out all the natural background noises with music. I find your videos make me feel peaceful and relaxed. I feel that's because of no music. So thank you for sharing yourself with all of us, you truly are a treasure, and I'm so glad to have found you. You have been such an inspiration to me for all my crafts.
Thanks for this lovely message Sharon. I'm glad you enjoy seeing whatever I'm up to ☺️💐
I love wandering in thrift stores... found so many treasures!!! I so enjoy your chats. It feels you're sharing your life, skills, and home with us🎉🧵🪡🦋🪻🇺🇸

Always love watching you and hearing your ideas for using items you come across. The sewing box is a lovely giveaway idea.
You have super human discipline Marion to walk away from those beautiful linens. I would love to have the sewing box. It is lovely.
Just because I know what I already have at home!
Hi Ms Marion, I'm so glad I ran across your channel. My granddaughter is 9 years old & she wants to start learning embroidery & sewing. She would love that sweet sewing basket & I know she would have it for many years to come. Thank you for your time & I look forward to watching more of your videos.
Good luck!
Marion, this is awesome! No one is better to get that old sewing machine back in shape!! I look forward to this project. I would like to be in the contest for the box! Why not!? Thank you for thinking of us. ❤
I really enjoyed watching you go thrifting I usually don’t enjoy watching people shop but I loved seeing the open market area and everything people were selling. Thanks
I'm glad you enjoyed it all..
What a treasure you are to the world…I love that you shared your joy and happiness with us… The sewing box would be perfect to hold a bunch of the little bits and bobs for my newly discovered hobby of slow stitching.
Hi Marion - I’m so happy that your video popped up on my feed. I’m a new subscriber to your channel and I look forward to watching more of your videos. You are such a lovely lady to watch.
I truly enjoyed your video. In the US, we call a car boot a flea market. I heard people talking about going to a car boot sale and wondered what that was until one day a lady explained it in her video.
You got some lovely linen things - so pretty. I love using linen for embroidery work. Such nice and pretty things you found on your day out thrifting. We do have some thrift stores that I can find lovely things at.
The sewing basket is such a treat. Someone will really enjoy going through all the pretty things. It would be nice to have a special sewing basket from your area of the world. You are really generous to give it away.
Hugs! 💕🧵☀️🐝🦋🌸
Beautiful collection of treasures you found Marion. I love to thrift for fabric and anything to do with sewing. I have quite a few sewing boxes and a few lovely sewing machines. I have my mothers singer peddle machine. Congratulations on reaching 20 K subscribers, what an achievement! 💖
Marion, that's such an adorable sewing basket. I'd love to use it for storage. You had a very exciting day at the sale. I rarely find old linens or threads in my area.
Thanks for your generosity in sharing your adventures and projects with us.
It was a sweet surprise finding your video. With all our fabric stores closing we have to hunt for good fabric. You had a great haul. I love the little sewing box and would be honored to receive it.
Thank you so much for taking us to the lovely boot fair and charity shops. My hubby and I used to love wandering around "mooching" as we called it. We even did a few sales ourselves, and it was great fun. I always spent more than we took though! Sadly we can no longer do this due to health reasons, so your film was really great to watch. It brought back happy memories
Your generosity with the basket is amazing and I would treasure it, if lucky.
Keep doing what you are doing, it gives great pleasure, and you have a beautiful soul.

You're so kind. I love that sewing basket,.what a treasure, and cannot wait to see the progress on the sewing machine.
