Tell, what was your latest great thrift find??

My latest thrift find is 9 yards of pure silk ribbon embroidery. There are 6 yards of hunter green and 3 yards of magenta. I don't embroider and actually didn't know what it was until later. Naturally I had to bring it home for SOMETHING. I think it would look great woven through some eyelet lace but, I don't have any lace 😁
I had a great luck lately finding aluminium crochets in cool colours (the grey ones are a bit boring) in a variety of sizes. I bought 12 in the last month (2 or 3 at each thrift store), in blue and pink and gold. Just looking at them makes me happy. I'm not crocheting anything at the moment (summer is too warm to crochet), but I'll be ready to tackle any project!
I just found about 4 meters of floral silky fabric at a thrift store for 4.99. Also 4 patterns for 4.00. I can’t wait to start sewing.
Thanks for your help on You Tube!
Since I learned from you to look for fabric, etc, by thrifting I have found amazing things. I often think to myself "Evelyn would love this". I recently found ten different lace trims on the factory " cards"...they were manufactured in a local factory that closed decades ago. My best haul recently included four yards of medium blue cotton/linen blend, four yards of crepe back satin, which nearly caused me to scream out loud in the store "1930's dress", and two window curtains that are enormous....they are a rust colored 100% linen and I rhink I will make overalls with the fabric. I could go on, but I won't! I cannot thank you enough for what you do....you are bringing in more peopke to the " solution" as opposed to the "problem". Happy sewing!
What great finds! I love thrifting in the "linens" section. Curtains, sheets and bedspreads are some of the best sources of cotton/linen, especially the vintage ones. Happy sewing!
About that doily, find a large enough vintage frame at the flea market or a thrift shop. Old doilies make spectacular wall art. I have "inherited" quite a number of them from my late mum and aunts and I have framed the most impressive ones.
So far, no visitor has entered the house that didn't point out how much they loved them!
That soutache cord!!! What an amazing find!! If we're honest, though, they were ALL good finds. You have such a good eye for these things! My best find was a couple days ago - a Singer 401A complete with case and 8 extra feet. I was on the way to pick up my old, dying machine when I found it. So now the new one is getting a tune up with my machine wizard, and I get to go get her in a couple months! It was perfect timing.
Great idea about the curtain tape. I have passed it up before. I will have to give it a go. Soutache braid. I love it. It is hard to find.
Picked up a GIANT 24 oz jar of buttons at Goodwill for $9!!! I'll never need to buy buttons again! 🤣
The price of buttons has gotten ridiculous! Great find!
I learn something new every time I watch your very lovely videos! Thank you so much!!!! :)
My husband thinks I’m crazy because I keep getting old lace etc whenever I see it. I just got a huge roll of cotton lace that you put ribbon in. I have no idea how much is on it but it’s a lot. We are just getting out of lockdown here in Ontario Canada and I haven’t been in a second hand store in a year and a half. I have been feeding my addiction lol with auctions and Facebook market place. I just got a large amount of Irish linen tablecloths etc for under $10 Canadian. There are a few stains but I plan to dye them and make lovely clothing. I have also started buying vintage sewing machines and fixing them up. I plan on keeping one of the treadle machines and learning to sew on it.
My mom used to give me a clothing allowance and I could buy two new things or a whole lot of second hand stuff. This was back when admitting that you bought second hand was looked down on. She taught me how to sew when I was 4 so I knew how to alter things as well. I used to get a lot of complements on my clothes. I have that haul of Irish linen that I just got so I need to get back to it.
Fun to watch and learn about quality tools.
Curtain tape is actually quite nice for doing cartridge pleating as well. :-)
I really enjoy your videos. I always looked forward to the ones where you refashioned or created a dress or blouse using your wonderful Juki.
I’m new to sewing, my friend got me into it, more quilting path, but I am interested in all things. Well, you have your mind blown if you went lawn saling with us! The majority of my material is from lawn sales - one haul got me a large Rubbermaid bucket filled with bits and pieces and scraps (I had such fun ironing and organizing it all) plus we all trash bags full of large scraps and pieces, including many nice large full pieces, all for $1! A couple weekends ago I got 12 quilting rulers, a cutting mat, a roller cutter, small bucket of white materials like muslins and all sorts, a bag full of nice material, a large baggie full of embroidery threads, a bobbin holder…and more for $33, I even got a fantastic Brother serving machine at a lawn sale! Needless to say, I love lawn sales! I love seeing what you have found!
Always love seeing your thrift finds. Two weeks ago hubby and I went to a barn sale and we both found some treasures. I got 30 spools of thread . Hubby had fun picking out spools with me. They were marked 50 cents each, but the lady only charged $10 for all. I didn't even ask for a discount! I also got a sewing machine for $10. It was marked $20. The tag said it needed a tune up. The lady said it works, but is slow. Love getting discounts when I'm willing to pay the original price.
So loved your haul....especially the little glass candy dish !!!!
Great haul! I would frame that delicious rose doily and put it on the wall. 😊
I am very lucky to have in my town a shop called Scrappies. It takes donations of stuff that can be used for crafts and sewing and sells them at very reasonable prices to raise money for children's charities. It's so much fun having a look to see what I can find for my stash, there's something different everytime I go in and its stuff that might well have ended up in landfill. Its win-win!
Found your channel snd it’s so delightful.
Fun finds! I like treasure hunting too. I bought a jar all different notions. I really thought it had a lot of buttons in it but when I go it home I found there was only a couple of cards of buttons and whole lot of different kinds of hand needles. There was also a darning egg and some very small wooden crochet needles. There was also thread on wooden spools.
I found my sewing boxes at thrift stores 😀. They are both clear amber plastic (70s style) and have shelves that nest inside, like a fishing tackle box. Those were a great find.
Glass candy dishes! Mom, Grammas, aunts, Great Gramma, etc. had them (19teens onward). If I find one I intend to stick (double-sided tape) a magnet in the bottom so the pins won't spill out if I knock it over.
I think the glass basket is a candy dish.
Best recent thrift haul- 3 Women’s patterns from the 80s in the largest commercial pattern sizes available, with all pattern pieces still in the packet AND The previous owner had already cut everything out in the largest size 🎉
Amazing find
I have 4 beautiful wool skirts that I bought last winter. Then, in an effort to drop my A1C I went on a diet and lost 55 lbs. So to keep the skirts, I opened the 2 side seams and inserted a twill tape draw string in the smooth front and along the elastic in the back. Now, as my weight plays games, I am able to adjust the skirt s every time I wear them. Oh, Evelyn, don't get old! Trying to deal with old lady health issues and still work full time as owner of my own accounting firm, I don't dare make any alterations permanent. From sunny New England in the eastern US, thank you for your hard work on your channel!
I hear you on that!
Kudos on your health efforts. Coming up with crafty solutions like this one will keep your mind young.
I love your adjustable skirt waist idea. Thank you for sharing ♥️
I love thrifting, very fun to see what fabrics-remnants I can reuse! If possible, I would like to see another refashion dress of the straight dress, I think it was formerly known as "flapper" dress, very straight almost boxy looking, but, it turned out beautiful! Hopefully see you do another one soon! You are so fun to watch and I learn from your videos!
Use the pink and yellow trims and tapes on baby gifts. Use the poly ribbons and tiny lace bits for gift bows!
Or for button covers!
I never leave anything behind. I have several types of stash and threaten to hide the bodies of those who try to clean my craft room and throw anything out!
LOL!!! I know this feeling so well! The same energy but with people using my fabric shears
😆 🤣
We think I alike! 😅😅
Thrifting is just so much fun. You can truly find some treasures!
Oh Brass pins! I would like some of those. Im probably old enough now to use them and not accidentally leave one or two in the carpet. That used to be something I couldnt fix. Liked the first skirt too, and I chuckled when you said you would change the buttons on it -as recently, my daughter said to me "Mum why do you ALWAYS say - 'you could change the buttons on that!' " Sure - you cant have the old buttons, they go on something else. Since being a teenager Ive kept a selection of sewing bric a brac so Id have too much if i didnt sort and part with some - I recognised some of those laces in the box as ones I had once purchased probably from stores such as Bayards and Barry and Roberts stores. I kept the striped bias binding red and white and still have some left. I liked that too. I havent seen ric rac about much if at all these days. Thanks for the interesting video!
Lace, lace, and lots of lace. ❤😊. Also cotton and Linen to make Victorian-Edwardian blouses.
100% linen clothing is a must have for me since it is so hot and humid here in the summer. The skirts you found are lovely and so useful! Linen is so expensive to purchase new, so I scour eBay for pieces. My clothing sewing skills are beginner so the most I've done is straighten a curved hem or tightened an elastic or two :) My main fabric purchases are 100% cotton for quilting, and like you, I prefer to sew completely from my stash rather than buy for a certain project. eBay is great for that, too. Lots and lots of estate sale stashes come up for purchase there at rock bottom prices!
I know right, I but ALL the linen also
"Thrifting is addictive!"
Yeah, the people at the local thrift shops think I am crazy!
I'm definitely addicted!
I found an original 1967, hard back, "Coats & Clark's Sewing Book Newest Methods from A to Z" at Goodwill for $.99 (less than one dollar). The original price sticker is still on the cover $2.98. It is 54 years old, in good shape, and does not smell old. This is a fun find. I'm glad I found and bought it.
Sounds like a great find!
@Arvetta DeLashmit, that is an absolute great find! I found my Better Homes and Garden Sewing book from 1961 in a thrift store for 25 cents. I about died when the cashier said the price.
The old sewing and cookbooks have the best tips/how-to's. Good technique doesn't go out of style.
@@romonaelrod7870, The absolute best.
I think it's me who suggested using curtain tape as skirt interfacing! 😊
Update: I made my skirt 2 years ago and it's as good as new. Even when I wear my skirt a lot, it holds its shape much better than the medium weight interfacing I usually find in the haberdashery.
GAME CHANGER!!!! Thank you!!!!!!
Great idea, I always see a lot of this in thrift shops and wonder what it could be used for, thank you for sharing.
What a great idea! I'm squirreling this info away for later
I'm curious, what width curtain tape is good to use for a skirt waistband interfacing? Thanks 😊
I thank you for suggesting it! I think I might have to test it out with this random pieces I have, I'll report back my finding when I do!
If I ever need any leather I look for leather trousers or jackets in thrift shops. They are so much cheaper than buying a piece of leather. My best find in a thrift shop was a peach pure wool Gucci trouser suit, I had to alter it as it was a bit big but what a find!.
Your thrift shop find videos are fun and provide vicarious thrills. After stuffing my house with far too many thrift shop finds over the lsat several years, I have gone cold turkey and have broken the habit -- but I sure do enjoy seeing what you scored and how you plan to use it. Thanks1
The red, white and blue ric-rack, is a great rare find. All my favorite colors
Those brass pins are mandatory for bobbin lacemaking. We use them to prick the patterns and twist the thread around the pins. Lace stays on the pillow for a long time and can't have it rust. So so jealous of your find.
A patchwork leather bag would be beautiful too! My mom had one in the 70’s that I loved.
You scored some great items 👍🏼👍🏼
Please do a video on how to organize lace and binding treasures. You have inspired me to get back into sewing. Thank you.
I didn't know brass needles existed. Now I will try to get some. Needles rosts too here in Sweden.
It would be a pleasure to organise the trims for you. I love micro organising 🥰.
It's a deal!! 😄😄
@@Evelyn__Wood deal. 👍. I just need to ✈ to you. I live in Germany.
That glass 'basket' is called a bon-bon dish. My Mum and Gran had a few, and now they belong to me. The traditionally held decadent little chocolates but Mum also used them for fancy nuts etc at afternoon teas/ Christmas. It's such a shame that no-one in Australia goes all out for parties or holidays these days. I'm as casual as you can get but I love to go all out for a party.
Such dishes with the basket arch handle are easier to "see" and thus not spill, when moving around your craft space. Also easier to lift and cart around from one sewing station to another.
Oh yh my mum has a bunch, i am getting some once i move into a bigger flat, theyre so cool for snacks and candy
If only ! Nothing like that round here unfortunately, sigh ! Never mind, love to see what others find though, and should I ever find something I would snap it up right away. Thankyou for sharing, Evelyn.
I live in the same type of humid and salty environment. But I work at a department store and I salvage the straight pins that are discarded in the gentleman’s fitting room. I have oodles of free pins that don’t rust.
Make no mistake, Evelyn, thrifting is wonderful and even more so when you find some incredible pieces like sewing notions inexpensively. I have been scouring thrift stores and yard (garage) sales for a while looking for notions and it seems another like-minded person beats me to the punch, lol. The curtain tape as interfacing for waistbands tip is a great idea. Thank you to the follower who passed this along. I just love it when sewers help each other out like this.
I love how you are always super enthousiast about vintage ricrac ❤️ So cute
Definitely going to go on an op-shop trawl when lockdown is over
That's all so exciting ! I thrift a lot of spools and bobbins to maintain a nice rainbow of threads for my machine, and those bags tend to come with a lot of extra needles, so now I've developed a love of looking at all different kinds of needles as well.
I love that you got a great treasure box….I do too have loads of vintage lace from my mom….i wished you were closer because I would definitely send them to you…. Also…. I notice the metal zippers…. Can you do a video of how to use them and more importantly how to sew them without breaking the needles 🪡…. Please
You could wrap a good sized magnet with a pretty scrap of fabric and tape or temporary glue it into your glass basket to keep your pins from getting away if spilled.
Lovely lace finds! I just went to a big flee market and found 7meters of beautiful white lace for an Edwardian inspired blouse. And some amazing vintage green buttens😁😁😁 thrifting is so much fun😀
I loved seeing the video. I don't go to thrift shops anymore. It is harder and harder for me to get around. But, our Goodwill used to have the most beautiful baby clothes, tags still on (you know small babies don't stay in one size long enough to wear it all) and I am a doll enthusiast. So, I liked that. But, they got rid of that department.
Fantastic haul. I love it all but my favourite is the linen skirts and white blouse. I cannot wait to see what you make from the blouse.
U should add a pillow pad to the glass basket or a big magnet so it won’t spill on the floor…ouch! Stepping on needles never fun.great haul with fun trim and lace goodies
i didn't find any sewing supplies recently, but I did find a dirt-cheap cookie cutter shaped like a baby chicken. The store sells stuff by the kg, and the cookie-cutter was so light, the scales wouldn't even pick it up. I bought it along with a crescent-shaped cookie cutter, for pennies. My cookie cutters now contain this baby chick, the crescent, a cat-shaped one, a sunglasses-shaped one, a lips-shaped one, and if there's any other, i forgot. i need to bake more cookies though, haha
I salvage lace and crocheted doilies. Found some great curved tapestry needles and 3 cones of weaving cotton at thrift stores. And a vintage yarn balance when I bought a floor loom from craigslist.
Heavenly 🥰 my style of thrifting to a T
Look at those gorgeous trims 🥰 you’ve been so lucky to find these! BTW: Can’t wait to start a new class in VSS! It has helped me a ton so far! AND I AM JUST 1 DAY IN. Hems class has been AMAZING
Yay!!! I'm thrilled to hear that you're enjoying VSS so much already! If you haven't found it already we took a lot about thrifted sewing treadures in the community there to!
@@Evelyn__Wood I actually missed this! I’ll have a look today 😃
Thank you for this video! I always hear sewists on TH-cam talking about op shopping for fabric using sheets etc, but I thought I was the only one who looks in the random sewing supplies section for treasures!!
I found a meter of navy wool for $2 at my local thrift store on my last trip! I could probably get away with making a skirt from it but I think I am going to make a coat for one of my littles with it.
Fun and inspiring, as always!
At the moment I am collecting woollen tartan scarves, I have a dozen, I am going to felt them and make a patchwork blanket
Ive just found your channel your videos very interesting, your vintage clothes will look lovely on you, you are a very beautiful women, you look like your a model for a 40s advert, thankyou for great videos
I am jealous of the thrifting opportunities in Evelyn's area. :D
Great video. The only thing I leave behind is buttons as I have loads of buttons !
Over a year after watching some of your thrift hauls I have finally picked up the most sensational pure silk embroidered robe....I now look at the label and only buy natural fibres... always worth the wait to get good pieces! Thanks for all your tips and tricks.
I'm so happy to hear it! I bet you'll notice the difference in the luxury wearing them!
I'm like you, an op shop lover!! Im surprised I haven't seen you because I'm pretty sure we're in the same city 😁I found some amazing vintage patterns for $1 each last week along with pins, buttons and bags of various colours of thread!! I've been sewing so much lately, after not doing any for such a long time and I'm loving it. Will be joining your classes to learn more and perfect my skills ❤
June I used to run into many people opshopping! But, which town, I've moved from Brisbane 😉 I'm excited for you to join and see your skills grow!
@@Evelyn__Wood oh no you've moved from Brisbane !!?? I'm in Beachmere, north of Brisbane.
“You will become addicted” gosh isn’t that the truth! I just want to go thrifting! I will window shop some new stores but I have the hardest time saying no to items if I’m in the thrift store! I wish we had ones closer that catered more to the crafting/sewing community.
I love my thrift shop buttons zips gorgeous buckles and fabric that’s my go too
I bought online in a vintage shop some hundred buttons from an old shop which closed. They are rather big, but I already used some sets for coats and heavy clothing. They already paid their price...and I still have 3 boxes waiting.....
Sounds like an amazing find!
This is the kind of flex I want to see. I live in a tropical country so rusted ones are the bane of my sewing existence. I do love clip ons too. I make my own 😁
Leather pics corners and end trim for handles, Voila!
Love the green skirt
Can you do a video on leveling hems?
I bought 33 long zips today for 50 cent each today, sewing store is changing brands and has clearence 😂
Also I got some basic patterns, sequins, beads and 5 fabrics (4 to 5 meters each) for 150 euro total. It was a good day. 😁
The bias tapes would be hard to pass up. Why is it you never have enough of the right colour in your stash?
And yes, very, very addictive. Cheaper than a cup of coffee usually and takes more time to truffle through everything. Addictive... but fun!
I know right, you never have the right colour 😅
My last trip to the thrift store I found some patterns and a couple of knitting books.
Last week I got five 1930’s knitting pattern books, one was dresses, I clutched them hard and weaved my way to the counter lest someone snatch them off me, I paid $1NZ each, I love 1930’s patterns
I love thrifting, I plan my week around which thrift shop I visit, so yes it is an addiction for me. I do a lot of different sewing so I never leave a new zip or good quality sewing thread, newer brands only unless really a bargain as thread can deteriorate over time. Laces and trims yes please, snaps and hooks esp vintage, embroidery floss esp silk. Latest find a gorgeous 100% lambswool blanket in amazing unblanket colours, currently being make into a coat with a satin sheet, also thrifted but new as lining, great video and glad I am not the only thrift addict in the world
I'll come sort!
I wish we had proper thrift stores here in UK. Our charity shops tend to be small and kind of crappy.
Hi Evelyn, I hope you're well and thriving. I love your thrift hauls! I like your idea for the leather. Another cute idea is a leather thimble. I'm working on one myself, not the easiest project. Also would be great for fabric covered buttons and earrings.
I definitely would have brought home the brass pins. Thanks for showing!
Great idea because I need a new one! And perhaps now one in every colour to match every outfit 😉
I just thought of leather elbow patches and braided cords for any fancy.
Our stores are opening up here a bit more in ontario Canada ,,,can’t wait to try thrifting ,,, it looks like so much fun
I've learnt loads from you Evelyn. Love your ethics re recycle,re-use ❤️ I've started my own channel, thought I'd give it a go. Not sure how it will go and I am struggling with keeping my camera steady but I will get there. I've started one channel to show where and how I live in France and another to show my makes and my process (I'm no professional!) If you have any tips on any of this I'd really appreciate it. Keep it up 👏
I've never seen sewing supplies in charity shops here in Ireland, but couple of times I managed to buy stuff like the shoe box contents online. Just assorted lace bits, various colours, complete surprise to the buyer. It's incredibly inspiring having those little remnants and trying to apply them in projects! Used some for jewellery making and sometimes the whole project would stem out of one little scrap :)
I went to a garage sale the other day and found 3 fabric table cloths with all the same print that was over 4 yrd of fabric a piece for a steal I want to use them for a new dress
That glass basket looks like depression glass to me (my parents collected depression glass)
For me, I shop at Estates sales and yard sales (I'm in the Pacific North West of the US)
I was thinking it might be a candy dish.
Brass pins should be mandatory, so much better than steel.
❤ I found a 2 metre length of dark cream polished cotton for £3. No idea what I will do with it but its lovely suggestions are welcome.
Treasures galore ! Lucky finds
Such cute little items and notions! Thank you for sharing!
Sewing notion thifting is the best kind! My notions stash is looking very healthy these days 😂 I'm always looking for more metal zips, I find the 60's lightning or y'all nylon ones a lot. I'm curious, do you find much in the way of 50's fabric? That doile is stunning 😍 I'd be tempted to frame it to show off that fabulous design ♥
I just got a sewing machine and when I went to my favorite thriftshop yesterday I noticed they had a whole shelf full of sewing supplies and fabrics. So now I got some cute fabrics with teddy bears and I made a blue striped tote bag that turned out really well :D
I never leave buttons, I've collected about 2 kilograms already :D
I scour the free bins for garments with nice buttons or “invisible” zips, it doesnt take much effort to cut of buttons and I have a huge jar of free buttons.
I’m over run with buttons!! Random ones I have picked up over the years but then people started giving me button collections. My grandmother’s a coworkers grandmother’s... Not that I say no!!! Someday I would love to organize them
Ooohhh...forgot to add....a king sized bed dust ruffle. It is white eyelet, cotton. I am planning a white sheath dress with the eyelet as tiers over it. I might use the flat part of the dust ruffle as sewn in interfacing. I think it could work seems to be the same type and weight of fabric as purchased interfacing.
I've used the flat foundation dust ruffle piece to make garment patterns. It's easy to draw on and durable and clings to fabric when laying out before cutting. I don't think it will withstand frequent washing and wearing as interfacing though.
I’m hoping that if I can get NDIS, then I’ll actually be able to go thrifting. I can’t drive, and it’s expensive to get a taxi (and I need someone with me anyway), so I’m not able to do the regular thrifting, or go to new places. Or… I have had to stop myself from looking at all the amazing vintage fabric and notions that are on Facebook marketplace, because they usually require going there to pick through the stuff, and that’s not possible for me right now. And so sewing all this lovely stuff available, but not being able to get there is a real downer. So hopefully it’s something I can do in the future.
What would I have not left behind? The eyelet laces! I love using them for the necklines of Victorian style chemises, which I also wear as nighties as well as for under my corsets. And I’m currently trying to get together enough similar lace to make a very lacy and full of pintucks Edwardian blouse. I’m thinking maybe the Folkwear patterns one. They offer two views- one full of insertion lace and pintucks, and one a bit more plain. The only issue being that they both button up in the back, so I’d definitely need help getting into and out of them (though it’s not unusual that I need help dressing anyway, so it’s not a big problem).
I definitely need to get on with making myself some blouses, because it seems that modern blouses are all made with really short arms in mind. And I’m only 5’4, so I have no idea why all these wrist length sleeves are only 3/4 on me. Surely my arms aren’t that long?! What about those women who are much taller than I am? What do they do? So I definitely have to make my own blouses, and I can make them as lacy and poofy sleeved as I like!
Put the wood beads on wire for a purse handle
You said "caustic air" and my first thought was dang living in Australia is hard, even the air is venomous! :D
You are correct 🤣
You could dye the bias tapes ❤️
I would have to take all of the trim, and the little glass basket. How could you possibly leave it behind?
Love this can you do a vid please on how to make sure you have the right fabric and If you using a brought pattern how to make sure you have the right measurements between yours and thr patterns
If you search my channel you will find videos on these! 🙂
@@Evelyn__Wood that you so much would love to show you some of the work I have done learning from u
Regarding the cotton bias tape, will it shrink on the clothes if you don’t prewash? Love these videos!
