What a beautiful collection of bits and pieces! The floral fabrics are lovely, but that textured open weave (? I don’t know the correct word!) is gorgeous! I’d love to make a summer cardigan out of that! The notions and ribbons are lovely and so varied! (I loved the hunt through your drawers! I do something very similar most days! 😂😂) Those crocheted laces are beautiful! That’s such a lucky find. I love those William Morris fabrics. The Morris and Co fabrics and patterns are so distinctive! I really hope I get a chance to visit the William Morris museum in Walthamstow soon.
You are so right about the ethics of TEMU and their ilk, Christine. Don't get me started on what is essentially child/slave labor, theft of artists' intellectual property, bad quality, etc. It's horrible how many crafters out there don't think about anything except money when they buy fast-made, unscrupulous products. Put your money where your conscience is, people!
Thank you Christine, this was a thrifty Thursday worth waiting for! Lovely fabrics at the beginning (and you got quantity too), then those pieces of gorgeous William Morris fabric which I'm sure you'll transform into something special. Must admit I fell in love with that little piece of tatting with the note attached, so sweet. The slow stitched neutral bundle at the end though held some beautiful pieces, can't wait to see how you use and incorporate them into your future work. 🤗❤
That little piece of tatting with a little note stole my heart too. Isn’t it funny how the small unexpected things are sometimes the most special. Cheers, Christine 💙🧵🪡
Thank you so very much for your kind comment - it’s lovely to hear you’ve discovered slow stitching and I hope it brings you many hours of happy creativity and relaxation. Cheers, Christine
I have a question on appliqué. When you cut out a flower to use as appliqué, do you attach it to something and then attach to your project? I hope that’s clear. I’m not sure what to do. Thank you so much!!!
Hello - generally with appliqué you cut it out and attach it to your base fabric but sometimes you might want to add an iron on stabilising fabric to stop it fraying and make a thin fabric a bit sturdier. But these can make ot harder to stitch through. Basically there are no rules in slow stitch so have a play and see how different techniques work. Cheers, Christine 💙🧵🪡
You really have a wonderful assortment of beautiful things. That big square 'doily' of leaves is knit not crochet. It is beautiful along with everything else you got.
What an amazing lot of gorgeous treasures💞. The bag of thread with vintage doilies was absolutely fabulous!! My mouth was watering with each new piece you opened. My goodness did you hit the jackpot! Well done💕. Thank you ever so much for sharing your lovelies! Have a blessed and wonderful day🥰
First time I have seen your Thrifty Thursday I will be checking back at some of your others I am just under half done watching and just couldn't wait to write. I have got to watch more of these from the past and look forward to the ones ahead. Thank you I appreciate you sharing your enthusiasm for your found treasures all so amazing. Oh, I have to continue watching I feel like a child in a candy store. Blessings
Thanks so much Denise - I’m glad you enjoyed it. I love seeing what others find too. I have a thrifty Thursday playlist also: th-cam.com/play/PLYFs0nSdIdWxqjeiHZzTB6wE9Jci3f-ZP.html&feature=shared cheers, Christine 💙🧵🪡
I just started watching your video with Jennifer's new book and somehow lost it. I checked your playlists, latest, etc. and can't find it. I'd appreciate your help finding it again. Good grief. Thank you!
The silk ribbons were a great find, they are so expensive now and the William Morris fabrics are beautiful colours and those vintage laces 😍💖 Elizabeth
Hi Christine! This is my first time watching your channel and I’m in love! These treasures you’ve collected have been outstanding and totally inspiring. For true I’ll be watching in the future (and past lol). Thank you for sharing your wonderful finds.
Hello Denise and welcome! It’s really lovely to have you hear and there’s nothing more I love than sharing some creative inspiration through textiles and creating. Cheers, Christine 💙🧵🪡
Oh how I wish we had a Sewing Lair in NZ! Thanks so much for the eye candy. I've done a search for your self made wraps for the balls of thread, but couldn't find it. Please can you give the link? TIA 😀
Hi Lois - I wish everyone had a shop like the Sewing Lair and also The Tevwrse Art Truck for reclaimed goodies. Here’s a link to the thread wrapping video: th-cam.com/video/MltLluAde9c/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared
Christine you are so lucky to have shops like this to go to. I live is a small town in Northern Arizona and we have only a couple of shops that might have some finds. But no fabric type shops. I look for yard sales but I mostly I have to shop at Etsy which is pretty expensive. I have to look on line and see if I can find something on line. Thank yo for sharing . Tomorrow we start our new slow stitching with Roxy's journal of stitching, so exciting.
I do feel grateful to have these second hand and reclaimed item resources. We have garage sales here in Australia but they don’t tend to be as good for accessing vintage linen type items from my experience here. It is so exciting to have a whole new Roxy project ahead of us 💙🧵🪡 cheers, Christine
Fabulous treasures from your shopping. Aww heart accents looked amazing. Gosh that was a supper beautiful slow stitch pack you got. So much fabric aww were to start. Have fun thanks for showing us all your wonderful treats.
What a great selection of finds, especially the William Morris pieces. I have to be careful how much I buy because I just don’t have room to store much.
My Christine that sure is one huge haul . Lots of delights from fabrics to threads 🧵 You sure are going to have some fun both sorting and creating your beautiful finds . Have fun 🪡 . Love the weather here in QLD just now as days are perfect , was very hard during those humid months I thought I was melting.
I’m glad you’re enjoying the weather - we had ice on some water sitting atop a wine barrel outdoor table this morning here! I don’t do well with humidity so that would be a challenge for sure - glad that is past for you.
Awesome Haul Christine, love the bobbin lace and pillow lace items in with all the cottons and the gorgeous William Morris Fabric bits. Cant wait to see what you come up with using these treasures. Hugs xx
You must have an amazing collection of materials Christine how yummy 😅❤
Thanks Karen 💙🧵🪡
Having a hard time not feeling envy- but truly happy for you to get such great items!!
Thank you Betty - I hope some special goodies come your way too 💙🧵🪡
You got some great goodies, love the embroidery ribbon and that fine square crochet❤
Thanks Valita - I love the hidden finds most of all!
Wonderful! So many and different goodies! Enjoy! Tfs❤❤❤
Thank you Giusi 💙🧵🪡

How wonderful it would be to visit the William Morris museum.
I’m glad that the hunting through drawers resonated with you 😆

You are a kindred spirit. As much as possible I want to use second hand and reclaimed. Ethics is very improper any to me too.
