I recently discovered the joy of Op Shops thanks to my girlfriend & enjoying sewing these days. Now I’m searching for fabrics that would suit my 2 youngest grandchildren. I really am enjoying your videos. Thank you very talented lady . 💐
The blue floral dress is so pretty on you! Everything you got is awesome. I love to thrift.. I started over fifty year ago, and was turned on about all of the possibilities. Now so many people are doing it. I love your channel, and you! I watch all of your videos, and some more than once. Keep up the great work. You are so inspiring.
I love the granny nightgown! Thank you for bringing us to your shopping trip. We don’t really have op/thrift shops here that carry fabrics or table cloths. So it is nice to see that through your trip.
I love browsing through charity shops, it's definitely my therapy. Sadly, our charity shops are closed at the moment due to lockdown. I love the jumpsuit and think it would look beautiful on you as it is.
Love Marks & Spencer some people think their clothes are for older women but I have a few pieces from them and they wash up fantastic 👏 what a bargain!
M&S pass a load of their old stock to market sellers where I live, some sell on Amazon UK. It's great for me, I'm on tight budget and appreciated quality. People claim the clothes are dated, yet I see plain and timeless.
I never thought about using old bedsheets to up cycle and make into clothes, but thanks to you I now realise that option works as as soon as Melbourne opened up shops again I bought 2 doona covers to make some cute dresses and tops for summer ☺️
Your videos have become a new favorite of mine to watch while tackling my sewing/ crocheting pile 😍 i just love watching you get excited about new fabrics and making your own clothes and things! much love from Germany♥️
Yes, Marks and Spencers is a British store and that blue dress looked so cute on you! I think you should make that striped jumpsuit into a long swishy skirt! Great haul and it's so interesting to see around Tasmania! I only recently found your channel and I'm a newbie sewer but I love your videos and your personality! xxx
What a haul! That was your lucky day! 👌 Ideas: the brown table cloth would make a nice hobo-style shoulder bag or tote; the nightgown could make a soft, cozy skirt; I see a simple kimono-style tee-shirt from the green striped bedsheet - cool and summery; and the dresses I love just as they are! Can't wait to see what you make! Best wishes!
Love all the fabric. You've inspired me to go through my clothes and fabric and get cracking on sewing and remodeling clothes. I love that blue dress. That is a perfect style for every day wear. Take care and stay safe🇨🇦💕
That was SO much fun! I love your consistency in color and patterns. Favorite is the jumpsuit. Maybe just full legged pants with the top gone. You can figure that out! Picnics! LOVE the red check too!
"Every time I go op shopping, I do seem to pick up a pale pink bedsheet. But I swear they are all different shades of pink." 😂😂😂 This is SO ME justifying buying basically the same thing over and over!
I really loved seeing what the shops are like where you live and I love that you got so many lovely things so much fabric too! That’s rare where I live. I’m saving up so I can buy some of your patterns at the moment I’m so excited xx
🎯 Major score. Hard to pick a fave out of all that. Impressive fabric stash @ bargain basement prices too. 💟Love gingham and buffalo check too. Prefer them more in linens/curtains/upholstery/etc. vs clothing. Although I do have a tailored black & white gingham tunic vest. Also two suits I bought in the 90s (linen/lined blazer & above the knee pencil skirt) in a big buffalo pattern. One suit in pale pink & white while the other in taupe & white. The latter seems to color match to your brand new fabric... 😉Those thrifted dresses look darling on you👍. 🌸Fresh, floral, flirty, and ultra feminine. (⏳With an hour glass figure, always preferred fabrics like rayon and stretch jersey knit that softly drape. Also tops, dresses, skirts & pants you can cinch in easily @ the waist w/a drawstring or sash.) ~~~~~~~~~~~ 🤗Can I just say that your wardrobe color palette is remarkably PERFECT for your complexion and light hair. You look so stunning in earthy warm, muted tones. 💕Love how your solid color pieces coordinate so wonderfully well together too. 💞 Adore your preference for tiny floral prarie patterns, ruffles, pretty yoking & pouf sleeves too. Unfortunately, I can't carry any of that off. Feel utterly absurd in anything remotely boho. 😆Tiny, busy pattern, esp. w/any flounce makes me feel far too 👼girlish or granny👵. Also 💕love how you frequently pair ultra flirty dresses w/sneakers. Like sporty|casual mixed with feminine dresses or even more tailored looks😁.
Love a good op shop you really scored lots of bargains. Last time I went all denim was being sold for $2 so of course I came home with 3pairs of jeans🤩👏
Thank you so much. One of my favorite activities is thrifting but as a health care worker and living where I do, it's not really been safe for me to go much of anywhere. This video was so therapeutic for me. I loved seeing the beautiful patterns and fabrics on the rack.
I think a really girly ruffle lacy dress made with the pink/purple sheet would be amazing to see. I love different textures of fabrics together in ruffles. 🥰 love your haul thanks for sharing!
Once I needed to thrift flip a dress and I needed white fabric. I pulled out all the sheets and linens I had thrifted and only one color of white was the right weight and matched the dress. There was at least 10 white thrifted items. So I know that a slightly different weight and color makes a huge difference. My white dress is stunning now! I fully support thrifted fabrics! You did great! (I mean, no one can beat Los Angeles for thrifting because there is so so much and cheap as chips!) but you did great!
What a haul! I'm so jealous - the charity shops in my town are tiny and full of fast fashion and ratty paperbacks. If I'm lucky I can find a plain cotton tablecloth once in a blue moon! The jumpsuit fabric is amaaazing - I could see it as more of a shorter culotte style jumpsuit, and you could refashion the excess material into a better top half, maybe a shirred strapless top or something like the bodice from the Hazel dress? I also 100% think you should wear the pink set out and about, it looks chic af.
@@pavlal.4552 You're right, they're really pricey - I've found that the ones in studenty areas are better value and have more interesting choice though. I don't mind paying a bit more for something gorgeous, especially as the money's going to charity, but most things are deffo not worth it 😅
I live in Chicago and my daughter lives in Perth. Pre COVID we had great op shop adventures . They are cleaner and more well organized than here in the states. Tasmania was on our list with our last visit , but sadly we couldn’t and still can’t travel anywhere . Someday .
JanelleI I love your thrift shopping trip video, and all those great finds. I adore op shops too and you have given me some really handy tips on what to look for. A few days ago I found a gorgeous white button down front gathered skirt, tiered with cotton lace inserts. It is fully lined so a bit trickier to resize so it doesn't drop off me! Also needs shortening, as like you I am vertically challenged.Don't think you need to change those dresses, they look fabulous on you. x
I love The Fabric Store! Their delivery is so quick. I love that they only stock high quality natural fibre fabrics. I'm saving up for some of their light wool to make a summer dress from :)
I love your orange stripey jumpsuit, I think it’d be fun to thrift flip into a sleeveless button up summer dress and maybe even use the tortoiseshell buttons off the green dress as buttons!
Janelle, I would love to see a video on your fabric stash and maybe your ideas on what you are thinking of making with them. By the way, I’m loving your shorter haircut. 💕
These charity shops are so pleasant, varied and tidy. M&S do great quality clothes, good find. Can't wait to see your projects, that granny nighty was pretty and I know I would have picked up those mens shorts too.
I think my favourite is either the red or pale blue gingham fabrics! It would be super cool to see a tutorial on recreating the pattern of those dresses too!!
Love a good op shop bargain - or bargains ! Those mirrors were divine. Congratulations on your third sewing pattern. Your hair and makeup always looks nice. Best wishes from northern NSW ☀️🏊♀️🌸
I have op shop envy - so many cool things - the ones near me are not that great. Love all those vintage mirrors you showed. You found some great stuff and I would love to see thrift flip with the nana nighty.
Great video. Love the Green dress for its my favorite color. But all your finds are exceptional and inspirational. Best wishes to you and yours from Florida.
Oh please replicate the blue dress - I think the most interesting part of it are the box pleats that hang so low and open so perfectly over the hip area.
The jump suit was really nice, if you have to cut any off the length , if there is enough spare fabric it would look nice as a tie around your head. I think it would be a real 40’s vintage look with a flower clipped onto the head tie too. Just an idea. The dresses were lovely on you too
You certainly got some really really stunning and gorgeous things this time, and I’d love ❤️ to see you make up some of the fabrics that you brought into garments too. Those stripped trousers with the weird top, you could make the trousers into some palazzo trousers and the other pic into a vest to go with it. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags
You definitely have a type of fabric you like. I do too. I love flower prints. I hate orange and brown or neutrals except gray. I love gray. I buy used sheets to make my toile or muslin before I sew on my good fabric. Once I found about 10 yards of new Christmas fabric at a thrift store for 4 dollars. Used it to practice my sewing on.
The dresses you found are so amazing! I am so jealous because I have been looking for simple but cute summer dresses like this for ages! And I am not even sewing but I am just so excited to see the fabrics :D
What a haul! How good are the opshops here in Tassie. The brown table cloth would look super cute as a circle skirt. Cut out the middle and add some elastic, maybe even some ruffle on the hem. Can't wait to see what you make 🥰
I love thrift shopping. My favorite one has a 50c room where I buy most things. I have purchased tablecloths, doll cradle, lots of clothes and beautiful dishes.
Op shopping is the best! You’ve inspired me to go out tomorrow and explore 🥰 It was a nice surprise to see Lorraine shown in your video - the Camille top shes wearing is one of my brands sewing patterns!
Love your gingham’s. Earlier this year I found a rather heavy sheet (good quality) in a super nice plaid and was able to make a tablecloth and matching pair of window toppers for my Mom all for the cost of $2. She was so excited with the finished product. One can find really nice fabric in the strangest places.
What an excellent haul! 😊 I can't wait to see what you make from everything. Though I think the cream and forest green I would be keeping as is. Such a beautiful and versatile piece. It would lovely as a light throw for Christmas 🤶. The blue check is going to look amazing for summer and I am excited to see what you make from the play suit.
planning to move to Tasmania for the next pandemic and for the cuter thrift shops :'D The best thrift shop days I had was in Glasgow. Got so many sweet pieces and I love the concept of "donating" the money you spend there so so much. Here in Germany (Frankfurt) we have some shops but its just not the same.
You should turn the granny nightgown into like a cute two piece set, like a fitted top and a skirt or something like that. I wish we had such good selections of fabric where I live, every time I go the fabric and linens areas are always empty.
Thanks Janelle, looking forward to your flipping, can't wait!! The nightie... use the material or burn it 🙂 and that green dress looked amazing on you. Bring on the next video!! ❤❤
OMG!!! When you put the brown fabric you got opshopping close to your face. WOW this is definitely your colour. I live in Australia also and it is such a welcome to find your videos. Where abouts do you live. I ask because I would like to try the opshops you go to. Wonderful to see you. You are a welcoming sight. Thank you.
I found a beautiful demon jacket from America in my local op shop for $6! I always get asked about it when I wear it. Also, my favourite skirt ever is from the op shop and it cost me $4. I love the recycling aspect of op shopping.
The M&S dress probably made it to Tassie with a fruitpicker! (Brit here, spent time in Cygnet,TAS picking apples for my second year visa, it was gorgeous.)
You found so many amazing things, it's hard to pick a favorite! I think I like that moomoo (floral grannie night dress) and the eucalyptus green dress the best! I'm super excited to see what you end up making with all this fabric, or maybe we'll see some of it included in kits!?
I am obsessed with those men's shorts and shirt together! I wish I could pull off an outfit like that, haha! Do you have any thrift/sewing Instagrammers you'd recommend following? I'm getting back into sewing myself and I'm always looking for new inspiration.
I actually went op shopping earlier in the week now that Victoria is opening up a bit more! I wasn't nearly as lucky, but I did also buy a LOT of gingham, which I don't normally do hahaha..! Also, can I just say that it makes me so happy to see other people rave about The Fabric Store, I can't wait to go into the Melbourne store this week
I'd love to see a video where you actually use the fabric you bought here! Show us the process from start to finish 😍
Love this idea!
@@RoseryApparel I know it sounds lame, but even the prepping of thrifted fabric. Washing, trimming, ironing. 😂
Agreed
Me too.
@@RoseryApparel please show us how you clean your thrifted fabrics.

The green striped fabric would be so cute for pajamas
Thrift flip the granny nightie, for sure. It has so much potential.
I agree 😍
Yes it would be so cute if you just chopped it and made it into a shirt
Yess and if you end up not wearing the flip after a while, use it as fabric x
I love the granny nightgown! Thank you for bringing us to your shopping trip. We don’t really have op/thrift shops here that carry fabrics or table cloths. So it is nice to see that through your trip.
I love browsing through charity shops, it's definitely my therapy. Sadly, our charity shops are closed at the moment due to lockdown. I love the jumpsuit and think it would look beautiful on you as it is.
I miss Charity shopping too 🥺

I love the dress I found so much!
@@RoseryApparel its definitely a brand to look out for, their knits are fab!! i have a massive oversized jumper which is the best thing ever.
M&S pass a load of their old stock to market sellers where I live, some sell on Amazon UK.

Aw thank you! That means a lot 🧡
The brown looks absolutely gorgeous! On camera it has like a rusty, terracotta tone which looks amazing!

Honestly I can’t wait to see what you do to that granny nightgown I loved the print
Love the fabrics and the ditsy floral sundress! So classic!
Love all the fabric. You've inspired me to go through my clothes and fabric and get cracking on sewing and remodeling clothes. I love that blue dress. That is a perfect style for every day wear. Take care and stay safe🇨🇦💕
I’m from the UK and it was amazing to see you find a dress from M and S! Great haul 👍
Yep, I love that dress on you Janelle
That was SO much fun! I love your consistency in color and patterns. Favorite is the jumpsuit. Maybe just full legged pants with the top gone. You can figure that out! Picnics! LOVE the red check too!
I too, would enjoy seeing how you repurchase the items that you bought.
"Every time I go op shopping, I do seem to pick up a pale pink bedsheet. But I swear they are all different shades of pink." 😂😂😂 This is SO ME justifying buying basically the same thing over and over!
Haha I’m glad I’m not the only one! 😅😂
The Blues Dress looks soo cute one you!
Greetings from Germany
Thank you! It was such a good find 🧡
I love the fabric shop! Every time I’ve been to Sydney, I always stop in to look what they have. So wonderful!
I really loved seeing what the shops are like where you live and I love that you got so many lovely things so much fabric too! That’s rare where I live. I’m saving up so I can buy some of your patterns at the moment I’m so excited xx

@@pavlal.4552 Yes I am!
I knew it 😊 charity shops in Ireland are quite expensive compared to American or Australian ones,at least I think so.

The ditsy print nightgown would make a gorgeous puff sleeve wrap top. Alter your willow pattern into a top with big puffy sleeves! 🥰❤️👍
The nutmeg brown fabric really suits you......I'd love to see you make something with it.
The all pink outfit is so cute! I love that style.
Yay thank you! 💕

Aw thanks! Yes I hope to share a tutorial for it if I can figure it out 😄
Id never heard of the fabric store before!! They are so exciting
That jumpsuit is just going to be gorgeous. What a grand bunch of finds :3
The green would make a cute skirt even using the fringe.
I love The Fabric Store! Their delivery is so quick. I love that they only stock high quality natural fibre fabrics. I'm saving up for some of their light wool to make a summer dress from :)
Ooh lovely! I can’t wait to go to their actual store one day! 😍

Love a good op shop bargain - or bargains ! Those mirrors were divine. Congratulations on your third sewing pattern. Your hair and makeup always looks nice. Best wishes from northern NSW ☀️🏊♀️🌸
Thank you so much Lara! 🧡
I have op shop envy - so many cool things - the ones near me are not that great. Love all those vintage mirrors you showed. You found some great stuff and I would love to see thrift flip with the nana nighty.
I still can’t get over how much I found! So inspired to sew with all of these 😍
Love to see what you do with these, especially the jumpsuit!
Great video. Love the Green dress for its my favorite color. But all your finds are exceptional and inspirational. Best wishes to you and yours from Florida.
Those 2 dresses you found are so cute! I love the style of them. I've been looking for dresses just like those but havent been able to find any.
Oh please replicate the blue dress - I think the most interesting part of it are the box pleats that hang so low and open so perfectly over the hip area.

I would love to see a thrift flip of the nightgown! It was totally giving me vintage blouse vibes!
What a fun video! It’s awesome that you all don’t have to mask up. I do feel a bit sad that you had to put a disclaimer on your video though.

Yes I think it will! 🧡
Yay! You always inspire me to sew new things, I'm currently obsessed with thrifting old sheets because your dresses always turn out so dreamy❤️❤️
Wow!! You found some fantastic items! Wish our thrift shops were so nice.
Favorite item... All of the plaid fabrics. I am mad for plaid! 😊
Ahh plaid!! I couldn’t for the life of me think what that print was called 😂
@@RoseryApparel :)
Thank you so much for showing the prices. So annoying when charity shop videos dont tell us.
And yes! Marks and Spencer is British
Love love love your findings!!👏🏻😍😍😍
So many great finds! I can’t wait to see what you do with the green plaid!
I found a copy of that Simplicity book in an op shop years ago and it's wonderful! I'd definitely recommend it to sewists of any level!
Would love to see an up-cycling video from the nightdress. And to see you make something from your wonderful op shop material. x
What an excellent haul! 😊 I can't wait to see what you make from everything. Though I think the cream and forest green I would be keeping as is. Such a beautiful and versatile piece.

Too cute. I can’t wait to see the flips

Ahh such cute finds!! I think I’ll have to go op shopping this week and hope I can bring some of your luck with me
I liked the blue print dress. And for the grant gown into the blue print dress.
The grannies notice could sew up into a cute top. Depending on the pattern you use, you might be able to use the same button placket.
I like your mask comment. Melbourne Op shops have just opened last week so looking forward to exploring .
Those two summer dresses are so cute!!☺️
I love them! Such good finds!
You should turn the granny nightgown into like a cute two piece set, like a fitted top and a skirt or something like that. I wish we had such good selections of fabric where I live, every time I go the fabric and linens areas are always empty.
love what you got!! I would be inclined to turn the brown fabric into a short jacket. It should go well with some of your other items
Thanks Janelle, looking forward to your flipping, can't wait!! The nightie... use the material or burn it 🙂 and that green dress looked amazing on you. Bring on the next video!! ❤❤
OMG!!! When you put the brown fabric you got opshopping close to your face. WOW this is definitely your colour. I live in Australia also and it is such a welcome to find your videos. Where abouts do you live. I ask because I would like to try the opshops you go to. Wonderful to see you. You are a welcoming sight. Thank you.

Love your aesthetic.❤️
i love the sage green shorts romper. i would wear that.
The M&S dress probably made it to Tassie with a fruitpicker! (Brit here, spent time in Cygnet,TAS picking apples for my second year visa, it was gorgeous.)
I think the nightie would be super cute as a set, maybe wide leg pants and a long sleeve top?
Ooh I like the sound of that! 😍
The mint dress really suits you..
You found so many amazing things, it's hard to pick a favorite! I think I like that moomoo (floral grannie night dress) and the eucalyptus green dress the best! I'm super excited to see what you end up making with all this fabric, or maybe we'll see some of it included in kits!?
Thank you! It was a good day for op-shopping that’s for sure 😍
I am obsessed with those men's shorts and shirt together! I wish I could pull off an outfit like that, haha! Do you have any thrift/sewing Instagrammers you'd recommend following? I'm getting back into sewing myself and I'm always looking for new inspiration.
I would love a thirft flip with the night gown.
The pink "sheet" is a dust ruffle I believe. It is meant to go under the mattress and cover the beds box spring and bed base.
I actually went op shopping earlier in the week now that Victoria is opening up a bit more! I wasn't nearly as lucky, but I did also buy a LOT of gingham, which I don't normally do hahaha..! Also, can I just say that it makes me so happy to see other people rave about The Fabric Store, I can't wait to go into the Melbourne store this week
