The picture doesn't quite show it I don't think, but there is a serious amount of (very high quality) fabric here...
I think conservatively there has to be at least £75-£100 of fabric here. Happy days!

Thrifty Finds # 27 - Something for nothing!
Yep that's right. This job lot of fabric cost me zilch, nada, diddly squat! I scored all of these fine pieces of fabric from a very kind and lovely lady via my local Freecycle group. I seriously couldn't believe my luck!

From top to bottom: 2m Raspberry coloured suiting fabric, 1.5m brushed cotton/flannel in gorgeous berry coloured autumnal print, 2.5m Navy suiting fabric, 3m pure wool in a stunning teal colour, 1.5m grey wool flannel, 3.5m stunning crepe de chine (??Tilly can I borrow your book?!), 4m creamy linen (synthetic??) with grey fleck.

Happy days indeed! These fabrics are gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteWow! What a find! Do you have any plans for them yet?
ReplyDeleteOh. My. God. You can really see the quality. Why was she giving them away, WHY?! But great for you.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous collection!
ReplyDeleteVery, very nice! I still haven't finished sorting through my last donation. People give me things when they find out I sew. My last score was two large moving boxes stuffed full of everything from wool to pleather.
ReplyDeleteGood for you! Awesome score! Can't wait to see what you'll do with it!
ReplyDeleteFantastic. I scored some fabric from a freecycler too, with a little sad story attached - her eyesight had deteriorated so she couldn't sew anymore :( but she was happy to give her fabric to a new home. Gotta love freecycle though!
ReplyDeletelucky! i am especially jealous of the wool :)
ReplyDeleteIts a great way of recycling and I am looking forward to seeing what you turn the fabric into.
ReplyDeleteTake care

Oh my word, you have such a knack, a magnet for fab treasure. I particularly look forward to seeing what you make from the teal wool ....
ReplyDeleteThat raspberry suiting is lovely, you're a lucky girl!
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! Score! This is making me a bit nostalgic for the Freecycle back in VA that was so good. I picked up a lot of cast-off craft and sewing supplies that way. :) (The one in my city is rather lackluster, I have to say. :/)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what you use all this for!
