You’ve done it again🥰😍 I just love thee Italian samples and the wool samples and the embroidered linens and so on. I think I’m gonna send you some play money and get you to shop for me. Wow, wow, wow.
@@createandcraftwithchristine that would be amazing 🥰 I sent off a small package of bits yesterday, a few vintage goodies and a few new. I’ve ‘misplaced’ or put away in a safe place, lots of older things and now can’t find them. I’m sure they will resurface though. I also made up both cotton and silk skeins last night to overdyed in some pretty gradients. Got grandies here today, so no playing with dye while they are about.
That tip about winding a little bit of fabric around a postcard (or cardboard, in my case) was good. My fabric now rests piled in an old comforter (heavy) plastic bag-ish sort of thing and it's pretty well a mess. Bet it would look much nicer and easier to see/use when standing up in a row. TFS!
Add a dishwasher tablet to your machine do a machine wash with just that in it. Clean any of your hoses connections. Rubber seals make sure all clean and not wearing away and clean any filters you may have
Great hauls. As someone else said here, it’s harder and harder to find the type of items you found at the op shop, the doilies and table linens, here in the US. The ones you found have lovely fabric as well as the lace.
It would be good to see what you can do with the shiny and textured synthetic fabrics. Most slow stitching uses cottons and linens so it would be something different. And I have a fabric sample book full of similar fabrics that I want to use, but no idea what for!
I will definitely share some projects and uses. You can use them in slow stitch projects you just need to assess how much they fray etc. I used some lovely floral synthetics in my down the garden path piece here: th-cam.com/video/HtseSqPgahs/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared cheers, Christine
I can’t believe you got all that for 25 dollars! Here, the thrift stores charge 2.99 for a little doily. That tablecloth would have cost 10.00 at least.
Oh, I am as ignorant as a baby about the types of cloth and what they are good for. Like what the difference is between woven and knit, cotton and twill, and so on. It fascinates me that you can rub a cloth between two fingers and pretty closely tell what it's made from. I know it would be terribly hard to explain the difference in feel on a video, but it would be great to touch (pun intended) the surface of different cloths and their uses.
I can usually tell a natural fibre from a synthetic but not always exact composition just be feel. But you can feel what will be easy to stitch and what will be more tricky like slinky fabrics. You can also do the needle trick and poke a needle into fabric to make sure it will be stitchable before you start your project. Cheers, Christine

Another great haul. The table cloth and the other linens are lovely. At least you'll get the pleasure in using them and they won't be wasted.

I have a short video on using postcards to do this here - th-cam.com/users/shortslhYyyCeEmvQ?feature=shared 💙

It was such a wonderful op shop - dangerous that it is so close! 😆
