What a gorgeous collection. Spotlight is a dangerous place for me lol. I went in yesterday to get a couple of invisible zips for my first Hazel dress (making it out of a salvos queen sheet), and had to walk past the clearance fabric. I ended up spending $87 on fabric and they are so pretty I have no idea what to use them for. Lol.
That brown gingham fabric would make a wonderful warm weather sleeveless top with the beautiful scalloped edge as the hem! I am drawn to gingham as well.
I'm enjoying looking through your fabric stash. I'm about 12 minutes in and you've just shown us the last of the mustard tones pieces, a seersucker tablecloth. I think this would make a fabulous skirt in the gathered waist style your favour. I do understand your reluctance to cut into some of your fabrics as I have fabric like that too! Ok, time to watch some more ...
If there’s enough fabric, that beautiful vintage fabric with the big stylized flowers(around 7:45) would look amazing as a short quilted jacket, centering that big flower on the back
Janelle, I just love your aesthetic and the fabrics you’re drawn to. This video has been so much fun to watch. I’m looking forward to seeing what you make with them 🙂
Hello, Janelle. I love your TH-cam channel. You have inspired me to start sewing clothes again. I have been sewing but not clothes. Have a blessed day and hello from Texas 🙂
Oo that last bolt of fabric would be great for reusable Christmas gift bags or reusable Christmas gift wrap. Maybe for a themed Christmas fabric boxes🙂
As usual I had to pause the video to have a look around Etsy for vintage sheets 🧐 By the end of the video you were like "I HAD TO HAVE IT, I COULDN'T CHOOSE BETWEEN THE TWO COLOURS, DONT JUDGE ME PLEASE" 🤣 I get it
I love that you reuse old fabric and give them a second life!! I am actually looking to buy vintage fabric online (prices are high, but thrift shops are quite far from my home and good things are meh, not so much). And the idea of using tablecloths or bedsheets, mind blown!! Hahah!! Dunno why I am so nervous at the thought of attempting sewing a project for myself. I actually did a dress for my daughter years ago, first and only clothing project ever and I recycled an old pillowcase and it turned out okish. I guess I'm intimated of making mistakes, especially on a larger scale and ''wasting'' fabric. I dunno. You're inspiring! Just going for it!
Amazing stash you have and I can’t wait to see what comes from it! Love how you cherish second hand fabrics-we need more you tubers encouraging second hand like you 💜🌸
Oh man I love looking at fabric collections! mine is very heavy on the blues and greens - I do love the reds and yellows and oranges but most of them don't go with my skin tone. I can't even wear lilac because my skin basically looks lilac, so I am vicariously enjoying all those warm tones. If you live near an IKEA, here's a recommendation from someone who works there - IKEA As Is section. They have ex-display bed linen there, as well as discontinued items, for a discount. I bought three double/queen cotton lyocell blend dark turquoise flat sheets, and that's...a lot of fabric (off the top of my head 240x260 cm). I used something like half of one sheet to make a wearable toile of a vintage shirtdress, and I still have two and a half sheets left! So it's perfect if you want to make something like a really full skirted dress, or a pair of pants. I also made a dress out of an IKEA kids doona cover and wore it to the Christmas party, the staff from the Childrens' department recognised it immediately. But I have of course bought way too much bed linen from the IKEA As Is section. Oops. So I recognise the "shopping at your own workplace" problem! IKEA also has fabrics but they're sort of...thick, for the most part. Good for cushion covers or something like a structured pinafore, but nothing particularly drapey or fluid.
You have such a beautiful collection of fabrics. I’m glad I’m not the only one that holds on to fabric for years. 😃 Until l find the right pattern for that particular fabric I won’t touch it. I can’t wait to see what you’ll make out of some of your vintage fabrics. I also like how you color coordinated your fabrics. I just reorganized my sewing room and I think I’ll do the same with my fabrics. Thanks for the ideas! 🥰
you really inspired me to go back to sewing! I just to do this with my mom, but she lives like 250 km away. So it was a big step to be doing it all by myself and learn as I go. So thank you for helping me to find back a hobby I almost forgot I love
Hello, it’s the first time for me to comment on your channel, I recently subscribed and enjoy your videos. I live in Kyoto. Nomura Taylor is the most famous fabric store in Kyoto. I’m so impressed you found such a beautiful retro fabrics there, I love them 😍 I usually buy fabrics at the different store in Kyoto, they sell only the last remaining 1 or 2 meters on the bolts in very inexpensive prices, and they carry similar ones that you showed us, and they were the ones that I was considering buying or not for a year!! You encouraged me to get them, and thank you very much for telling us other ways to find nice large fabrics. I also love flea market in Kyoto, too. I made mini napkins. Thank you very much for your beautiful ideas 💡
Hi Susanna! Thank you so much for taking the time to write this lovely comment, and for giving some insight into the amazing fabric shops of Kyoto 🧡 I can’t wait to be back one day to explore Kyoto more! Also, yay for buying the fabric, I hope you make yourself something nice from them 😍 x
@@RoseryApparel I checked last night, but the beautiful fabric was already sold out.... but it’s ok! I’ve got your lovely reply this morning 🤗 Looking forward to seeing your next video 📌 I also hope you to come back Kyoto soon 🌸🌸
I had a similar experience when I went to the LA garment district where there are streets filled with stalls of fabric. I was kind of panicked when the fabric I was buying was just thrown on the ground to be measured out then cut. I didn't think about it in the beginning but they don't have cutting tables. So this is standard for the smaller shops. I was alarmed because it was 10 yd of sheer fabric I was really worried about getting snags LOL but definitely was paying for the experience 😂
I was in the supermarket the other day browsing the clothes section and there was a lovely dress on the mannequin and I found myself thinking that it was the same as the one Janelle had made with the sharring elasticated bodice and billowy sleeves, Janelle’s was much nicer and bang on trend, Happy Easter from the the UK 🇬🇧🐣🐇
Lovely collection! The pattern on the round table cloth is called Harvest and lots of people in Britain have or collect tableware in that pattern! My parents had that tablecloth and a full crockery set as a wedding present in the 80s and I really enjoy seeing what other matching items I can find for them in charity shops in different parts of England
Haya. I was 'SEW' excited to see you made this video. ALL your fabrics are just beautiful :) Like you I like to keep things especially as 1 day they will all have a purpose. Vintage fabrics are lovely & we only get them as 1 off's so keeping them is very important, even if they have been made up into something :) Thanku for sharing. xx
Thank you so much for sharing your collection. All your fabrics are lovely and the plans you have with each of them sound great...cant wait to see them hopefully! I totally get you when you have a lovely fabric and you just don't want to cut it lol waiting for the charity shops to open here in the UK...I never thought of getting tablecloths and bed sheets from there but will be on the hunt now. Thanks for the inspo
I really wanted to learn sewing. I am so i spired by you. I have alot of clothes that needs to be adjusted but i dunno how. Dont have sewing machine yet
This is a lovely video of your fabric stash Janelle and a great example for protecting our planet by using preloved recycled fabrics. Also gives me the itch to get some sewing done today!
Ooooh! Thanks for the tour of your stash, love how you appreciate every fabric with a story. Also, I would love to know the pattern used for the top you are wearing, it soooo pretty and flattering on you, the fabric is so feminine and a dainty print.☺
Have you checked out Amanda Rolfe's channel yet? She lives in NSW and is a trained florist, does amazing quilts, who works in Spotlight. She too brings home end of bolt fabric - why not? Your stash is amazingly tidy - well done. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😀
Can you take apart the double doona cover with the roses on it and add a contrasting band to make it big enough for a queen bed? I’m picturing a beautiful sage or forest green that matches the stems of the roses. Happy Easter 🐣💞
Your stash is amazing and your sewing space is a dream! Why are sewing patterns so scary? I lack the skills and knowledge to make anything from scratch but patterns are so confusing yet I just itch to sew! I'm a mess.
The best way to learn how to sew is to start simple. Take apart a t-shirt that fits you well and then use it as a template for making an identical shirt. Dismantling clothes is the best way to understand how they go together. Good luck, always keep it simple. There’ll be plenty of time to try more advanced pieces.
The instructions of sewing patterns are unnecessarily difficult sometimes I think. You can find some ‘sew-through’ videos on TH-cam that show all the steps which I find really helpful 😊 Also, the more patterns you make, the easier it gets/the more you’ll understand how they work!
I would love to see a tutorial on how to use up a 1 yard of fabric for a blouse or skirt
I horde vintage sheets and table cloths. I can’t stop. My heart says, “you must save them all!”
Haha I’m glad I’m not the only one!
I'm the same - just love them!!!!
I would love to see what you could make out of those tablecloths that have unique borders or trims!
I was just thinking the same! Especially the one with the brown gingham and embroidery
As the fabric of a vintage tablecloth is thick and coarse, what can we make with these beauties?
What a gorgeous collection.
Spotlight is a dangerous place for me lol. I went in yesterday to get a couple of invisible zips for my first Hazel dress (making it out of a salvos queen sheet), and had to walk past the clearance fabric. I ended up spending $87 on fabric and they are so pretty I have no idea what to use them for. Lol.
Such a dangerous place! 😂 Have fun finishing your Hazel x
5:49 show us a tutorial on making something out of a round table cloth!!! I have one in my stash and i wanna know what you would do with yours!!!
Ok! I’ll share a video soon 😍
A circle skirt perhaps!
I also always buy 100% cotton sheets! They are really great for quilt backs!
That brown gingham fabric would make a wonderful warm weather sleeveless top with the beautiful scalloped edge as the hem! I am drawn to gingham as well.
I'm enjoying looking through your fabric stash. I'm about 12 minutes in and you've just shown us the last of the mustard tones pieces, a seersucker tablecloth.

You should try making a quilt with your leftover scraps, it's a great way of using them up in a practical way.
The minute you held up the circus tent print, and the cherry print, in my mind I saw 2 brilliant vintage style pairs of shorts! 😊
This is so satisfactory 😍 And I'd love love love a vid on pjs!
Janelle, I just love your aesthetic and the fabrics you’re drawn to. This video has been so much fun to watch. I’m looking forward to seeing what you make with them 🙂
Aw thanks lovely! I’m glad you enjoyed the video 🧡

Aw yay, that’s great to hear 😄 Thanks so much for your lovely comment 🧡
Oo that last bolt of fabric would be great for reusable Christmas gift bags or reusable Christmas gift wrap. Maybe for a themed Christmas fabric boxes🙂
The sage green at 21:50 would look so beautiful on you!! It’s so complimentary to your skin and eyes!
Thanks! I love that fabric so much 😍 Stay tuned for next weeks video as I finally found the perfect project for it 🧡
I loved hearing all the stories behind each fabric 🙂
I would use that Christmas fabric for wrapping paper, and wrap all the Christmas presents in it ✨🤗❄️🎀
As usual I had to pause the video to have a look around Etsy for vintage sheets 🧐

Hi Janelle , Happy Easter from the UK. I can't wait for our fabric shops to open again. I'm hoping to make a wrap dress.
Thanks Jenn, you too 😘
I wish I had the intuition that you have about what fabrics to buy or not... you've got goooooood taste in your fabric choices. I envy that.
Aw thanks! I’m definitely drawn to a particular colour scheme/aesthetic 😊
This is literally the video I have been waiting for!
Would love a series where you work with your most challenging fabrics. Would also love if you made a kimono and/or dressing robe tutorial ❤️
Amazing stash you have and I can’t wait to see what comes from it! Love how you cherish second hand fabrics-we need more you tubers encouraging second hand like you 💜🌸
Your remnant floral print, that you used for a heat pack, I envision as beautiful accent pockets! ;)
Please make a video making pjamas!💕

OH so many pieces & they are just gorgeous colors thank you so so much for sharing I never saw some of these fabrics colors, amazing thanks
Yesssssss! I tried playing "Take A Drink Every Time Janelle Says Beautiful" but I died ☠☠☠😂😂😂
Would love to see how you made the cord heat pack! Such a good idea x

Morning Janelle, happy Easter!! I love how you have a story for each bundle of fabric. Have a super week...
Thanks lovely, you too! x
Ok I'm shocked 😂 I have a Stradivarius sheer shirt made of the exact same fabric at 13.29!!! You have a very nice collection of fabrics! 😊❤️
I guess I’ll be heading to the thrift store tomorrow! 😆
With the Christmas bolt maybe you could make matching tree skirt, stockings, and table runner ❤️
You could make a really cute purse or tote with the excess coat fabric!
You need to do a video with your vintage sewing patterns to ☺️
Yes totally! 😍

I have another one in the works at the moment! 😄

This one here is one of my favourite non-pattern dresses 😊 th-cam.com/video/qB7G9TqBhpM/w-d-xo.html

Such a beautiful collections!

Awww I still love the one I sent you.. it’s as sweet as you lol xxx. Loved this video!
Aw you’re too kind Sonia 😘😘
Wow,such a beautiful clothes collocation ☺️☺️☺️
Beautiful materials, look forward to more of your sewing projects. Happy Easter.
Thank you 🧡 Happy Easter to you too x
Happy Easter Janelle...as a matter of interest if you are out and about and see new fabric how much do you normally buy?
I usually get 2.5m for a dress and 1.5m for blouses and skirts. It does depend on the width of the fabric though!
I like to collect fabrics, too. Waw~~ so beautiful!!!!!!
I don't know how you can save so much of your fabric. Once I buy a fabric I like, I'm itching to make something out of it!
Beautiful colors and designs💕👍🏻
Im very excited...

Thanks so much lovely! The top isn’t handmade sadly, but I’m definitely going to have a go at making some more similar as I love it 😍
This makes me think of all the thrifted duvet covers and vintage sheets I didn’t get.
I think you should make matching pajama pants for you and your other half from the red and white fabric at 15:06. 😊
Awesome collection. ..love it all...
I Love them ❤️
Thank you for the tips.
It's crazy the gems you can find at a thrift shop!
We have pretty amazing thrift shops here in Tasmania 😍
These are all so pretty
You have impeccable taste.
Thanks lovely! 🧡

Drink every time she says beautiful 😊
It’s ridiculous isn’t it 😂 And I edited sooo many out!!
@@RoseryApparel well I’m at a loss for a better word. So many lovely prints, it is inspiring. 💕💕
Rosery can you please put a video of non pattern dress.... I hope the next video will be that I wish I will get videos like that soon .....🤗 love you😍
Wow amazing 🤩
I have that last cord flower fabric. I’m planning to make overalls out of them. But I’m so nervous to cut into it!!! 😬
Ooh do it!! That sounds amazing 😍😍

If anything, this has confirmed to me that I should never work at spotlight - I would buy all the remnants 😂
Such a beautiful stash! I love your blouse also; did you make it?
Hi which device you use for shooting videos ?? Really impressed with the quality of your videos 💕
Can you make a easy jumpsuit video with free pattern please for summers
Hallo grom Germany.Love your Channel❤️
I feel like that mustard cord needs to become some overalls!
❤
How many meters do you buy of the same fabric?
you could make a video where you make all the shirts your partner has asked for
I try to save as much as I can why well, just in case I can find it later who wouldn't.
I totally get you but people don't get me.
I'm labelled a hoarder in a negative way.
First🤩
