I pop into a couple of thrift stores near me when I have the chance too. I have found some really great items for my quilting at incredible prices. Once I found a bag of 7 thread cones, all beige/taupe, still shrink wrapped, for $4!
Lots of unknown fibers when you shop a thrift store. Can't go by feel because that is misleading - I go by the burn test. Take a small piece (or even a few threads balled up) and burn it. If the remains are soft it's a natural fiber (cotton, wool, etc.) and if the remains are hard/crispy it's a man made fiber (polyester, etc.). Then you know what setting your iron needs to be set at.
I was thrift store yesterday. Got a nice bed sheet looked New. And a coat. 🎉thanks for sharing ❤
I love finding those hidden treasures! ☀️
Now THAT is my kind of thrift store!
It's a good one! 💛

Your self control is incredible! ⭐ I try to keep to "that's not what I'm looking for today" but frequently fail! 🫢😂 Deb x
