The tablecloth should be a wrap skirt so that you have scalloping on the bottom of it with scalloped detail going up to the waistband where it's been wrapped over. If you had spare fabric, you could make a matching crop top with the scalloping either on the hem and the waist, or along the top of the bust creating a scalloped neckline with some thin straps!
First place I go whenever I enter a thrift store is the linens department. I have so many bed sheets, curtain panels, shower curtains, table cloths, pillow cases, place mats and duvets that make up the majority of my fabric stash.
Not sure if I commented on this post-but I just re-watched it! I find these posts rather therapeutic-makes me feel as if I’m out there fabric shopping with you! What a lovely shopping haul! Love your eye for fabric! I’ve always known (and make a point when teaching my sewing classes)--the importance of starting projects with the best, most inspiring fabrics! As beautiful and as important as quality sewing skills are-fabric choice plays such a vital role!!! The same project in two different fabrics can make one shine and be a game changer-it can even hide a flaw or two in sewing construction!-hugs to you! Love your style and the inspiration you provide!❤️✂️🧵
Aw thanks so much lovely! And yes, very true about the fabric! If I don’t love the fabric, I’m not inspired to sew with it at all, and probably won’t even finish the project!
If you can't get that gingham skirt to work, it'd be cute as a plain mini and you could use the ruffle as sleeves on something with a contrast bodice. I love how your taste is so clear in all you pick out. I love vintage sheets, too!
Those yellow and green floral sheets are right out of the early '70s. I'm in my early fifties and I remember printed sheets like that from my childhood. Fun!
Visions of a corner of the embroidered, scalloped, table cloth pieced into that odd wedge slit in the lovely gingham skirt. I have fun letting my mind run wild while you show us all your finds. Good fun, thanks for sharing.
I've thrifted for over 20 years and I always buy vintage sheets and a lot of pretty doona covers. There are just gorgeous. I've never made any clothing with them though, just cushions and bags, and I've re-upholstered some chairs. I must try making a shirt or something, except I may love looking at florals but I don't wear them. We moved recently and I have 32 large boxes of fabric/sheets. I think I have a problem, but it's a good problem! 😄
Just do what I did organise your stash by colour or fabric type? I dumped it all on the loungeroom floor, made crates or boxed for the colours of the rainbow and it was sorted within 90 minutes with extra boxes for black, white grey and brown. Now when I want something its easier to access and use especially for strip quilting and my bag making #Beyondawesomebags on facebook
I soooo want a sewing kit with that yellow fabric!!! i lovee it!, i recognize the search for a new hobby when one becomes your job! i loved drawing and I studied to become an architect! and now I picked up sewing! Love your vibes and aesthetics
I miss thrift shopping as we’re not allowed to now. Yours and Lauren Johnson are the only thrift videos I watch right now as I’m jealous 😭 great the sewing kits might be back, maybe that time it’ll be my luck 🤗
My husband just walked in on me watching this video. I told him I'm living vicariously since we're still in hard core shut down. Also, I LOVE YOUR LIP COLOR! So cute!
It's been a year since I could thrift shop but I've been able to get stuff from family that allows me to practice my thrift flip skills (which are minimal). The table cloth reminds me of your last project with that material--a super cute rain coat. That would be adorable as a rain coat too I think. There's so much of it, there's a lot you could do with it like a valance and table runner, coasters, seat covers, I don't know.
Omg! The two matching pillowcases 😍😍 i need to get back to the thrift shop! I too LOVE sewing with op shop finds, sheets, pillowcases, pretty clothes! Loveing the thrifting haul videos!
During my mom's & I first thrift shop of 2021, I found an Ikea PROÄNG chair for 15$ and then some super cute floral curtains I plan to turn into covers for the chair. A literal treasure find since I've always wanted that chair but it's like 100$ for the frame and cushion together oof
Love the vintage fabrics. I rescue animals and a family clearing out their parents home have me all the manchester, for the animals. Oh boy was there some beautiful pieces in there xx
About 4 days ago I made a dress and shirt out of the same scalloped floral table cloth... blowing my mind. Just started sewing about a year ago and your videos have been a go-to for me!
Thank you so much for taking us shopping with you! 🥰 Just thought I’d mention, for other viewers from the UK, quite a few of the charity shops (thrift stores) have gone online. I’ve found a few on eBay. Same prices you’d pay in the shop, all proceeds go to the charity as eBay let them use the site for free, and the economy postage is really reasonable. Happy shopping! 🛒
I miss thrifting. Everything here is still closed and we still wear masks whenever we are inside any building. Your video makes it feel like normal has left us behind.
I’m lucky to live in Tasmania, and I feel like it’s one of the few places in the world that is still somewhat ‘normal’. Even compared to the rest of Australia, Tasmania is the place to be right now (being so isolated has, for once, been a very positive thing) and I definitely don’t take that for granted. I hope things start to go back to a new normal for you soon xx
May you find horrible having to wear masks inside a building, but in my country we have to wear them any time we aren't at home. I have to wear a mask 10 hours in a row in order to attend classes, just with a break in between for lunch time, where I can take it off.
While our stores are opened since last year, and recently restaurants opened as well inside, we have to wear the mask ALL the time when outside - so on the streets as well... :/ or in public transportation (including taxi/uber/metro)...
That yellow vintage floral fabric is so beautiful! I would love love a sewing kit with that fabric in it. Your thrift hauls are so much fun to watch! 😍
I’m from the UK and cannot wait for the charity shops to open again - I’m definitely going to look at the fabric/bedsheet sections for possible projects. Normally I’d skip that part of the shop!
What a great haul. I recently scored some vintage baking tins for a dollar each. I'm keen to try baking Madelaines. I also bought a patterned Bundt tin which I'm looking forward to trying. Your vintage pieces remind me of my teenage years. In one of the shops you looked at a hot pink and orange sheet, I had sheets just like that on my bed. My sister had the blue and purple version. The house I live in now was my aunt's and she LOVED the 70s. There's still lots of linen and 70s utensils and ephemera here. It makes me happy because I loved the 70s ♥ I've been making bucket hats from bedsheet remnants lately. Today, I mad covers for 3 of my 4 sewing machines from offcuts of curtain fabric. I buy remnants at one of my local op shops for $2 to $6 a bag. It's wonderful - I LOVE OP SHOPPING!!
Thanks. for this lovely thrift shop video Janelle. Always look forward to your show and tells after. Matt does such great camera work. I think you are spoiled for choice in Tassie re op shops. South Aust does have good ones too scattered about the state, but your local shops to be sectioned better compared to the town where I live, which has three op shops. However the other day I did manage to find a very nice queen sheet set in good condition which I can use to make something. Am going to have to book an overnight cabin on the Spirit again before too long so I can plan a detailed op shop tour! Poor husband of mine! 🤣 xx
Ooh yes definitely do that!! How fun it would be to travel all over Tassie, going to all the op-shops (there are so many good ones, especially in some of the smaller country towns) 😍
That embroidered tablecloth is so pretty! Can't wait to see what you make from it, though I'd totally understand if you don't want to cut into it either!
Great finds! I love Frankie magazine too. I found it in 2019 when I was living in London and now I'm back in canada I can read it on my library's magazine app which is awesome! So many creative ideas in it 😊
This makes me happy to see. I can't go thrift shopping or fabric shopping right now, because my country is on lockdown and it probably will be for at least another month but it makes me happy that other people can go 😊
Lots of nice finds you got! You have very nice taste :) I'm doing a spending freeze for a year and when October 1 comes around, I will make a beeline to our local thrift shop. Meantime, thanks for the thrifting fix - it was fun!
That vintage flower yellow fabric is sooooo gorgeous. I gasped when I saw it. I know it’s not your usually autumnal colors but I think it would fit in nicely so make a dress or something!
Thank you so much I really really envy you, as we’re in lockdown once again. And one of my favourite things to do is going charity shopping 🛍 and I really really love ❤️ seeing what you’ve brought, and what you might do with it. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags
Our thrift shops are shut for lockdown, in between lockdowns had a few trips and got some lovely material to make things out of, can't wait for them to be open again! Love your thrift with me videos xx
I grew up with those style of clothes which I adore and love so much sadly I don't know to sew. I'm dying to have a closet full of summer clothes. Sewn by me
Definitely this opens my eyes to look around on the charity shops to find fabrics, specially vintage. Ow, pity you didn’t pick the one with orange and pink daisies, I so love the combination pink and red or orange with those. Lots of hugs from uk ❤️
Those yellow rose vintage bedsheets are amazing! Such great scores. I know you're starting cake decorating just as a hobby but I'd love to see what you do if you feel like sharing sometime. Thanks for this lovely relaxing content! :)
I would love a video where you explain how to customize your patterns to fit us perfectly. Through trying and failing I've figured out I'm neither a size M or L, and so I'm kinda lost on how to continue.
Love the first 2 pieces and was so hoping that you would choose them. I managed to find a scoop neck top with spaghetti shoulders, and very loose comfy shorts in a spearmint green and white striped seersucker fabric. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE seersucker and it's sooo hard to find these days. I'd love to make a few sets like this but I don't know how to cut out a basic gathered round neckline. It's basically just 2 pieces with the straps also used to bind the front and back pieces. I don't know if I have to cut the top pieces with a round shape first, and then gather them, or do I cut the top part straight, gather it, and then cut it into a round shape, or do I sew the top straight and then cut the bottom of it into a rounded shape that will make the top part rounded? Sorry, even I don't understand what I'm trying to say, but can you please help? BTW. I'm close to 70 and I remember my mother making heart shaped double sponges for all the church stalls. She would spend the whole day baking and then pack them into a large suitcase. I also used to make the chocolate and jelly lamingtons, and Anzac & cornflake biscuits for street stalls. Shame that they have died out now. The lamingtons were always the first to sell out, but it would have been a lot cheaper to just donate the cash in place of the cost of the ingredients, not to mention the whole day spent baking. The bought cakes taste nothing like the home made cakes .... and you wouldn't dare use a packet cake mix! lol
Have you tried treating the stains before you prewash your fabric? The stains may come out if you treat it when stain remover and let it set in and then wash it.
I forget that op shops sometimes have fabric, and double(or queen) sheets have so much usable metreage, especially if they're all flat, not fitted...might have to start doing the rounds again... Garage sales can also be a pretty decent source for older fabrics and household linens, especially if it's a deceased estate or down-sizing situation. Our local rag used to have a "Garage Sales" section in the classified's...not sure if you have one down there in the Apple Isle, a lot of the local papers on the mainland are being shut down now because...reasons... Those yellow sheets are straight out of my childhood...had a set of the exact same ones in single bed size. It's kind of weird thinking of the 60's and 70's as "vintage" when that was just our everyday stuff...
I am your fun making your design dresses. I wish to have your dress too .....😂 I want to have sewing machine brother just like you if I wished ....thank you for being inspiration and more power ...God bless
You sure have an eye for cute fabrics
Thanks! I was very lucky this day 😍

I'm so jealous, the thrift shops are all closed here, I miss thrifting so very much!!
That’s so sad 😢 Ours were closed for a few months and I missed it soo much!
If you can't get that gingham skirt to work, it'd be cute as a plain mini and you could use the ruffle as sleeves on something with a contrast bodice. I love how your taste is so clear in all you pick out. I love vintage sheets, too!
Those fabrics are CRIMINALLY AMAZING

Totally love the pink orange fabric at 4:10!
I miss thrift shopping as we’re not allowed to now. Yours and Lauren Johnson are the only thrift videos I watch right now as I’m jealous 😭 great the sewing kits might be back, maybe that time it’ll be my luck 🤗
Real talk, you HAVE to go back for that pink floral fabric! They would make such a cute pair of flowy pants, like wide leg or harem pants. :)
I would’ve bought it, but it was so expensive!
That was such a great haul! I loved that last bedsheet you showed and can’t wait to see what you make with it!
That vintage yellow fabric is so lovely! Would love to have a kit with it 😍
Can we please have a tour of your whole fabric stash?
We're still in lock down here in the UK so this was so so special to come thrift shopping with you! And what gorgeous finds! X
My husband just walked in on me watching this video. I told him I'm living vicariously since we're still in hard core shut down.
Also, I LOVE YOUR LIP COLOR! So cute!
I loved your tailor👍
This video filled the gap in my heart I have since all of our shops are still closed #lockdown3 😔
So happy found your channel in my timeline
Also, for the staining, try taking it out of the wash and hanging it in the sun. Natural stains almost always come out that way.
It's been a year since I could thrift shop but I've been able to get stuff from family that allows me to practice my thrift flip skills (which are minimal). The table cloth reminds me of your last project with that material--a super cute rain coat. That would be adorable as a rain coat too I think. There's so much of it, there's a lot you could do with it like a valance and table runner, coasters, seat covers, I don't know.
A floral ruffle around the gingham fabric on hem and sleeves could be a really nice way of combining 2 different prints x
YAY! I asked for more thrifting videos in the comments of your other video, and wow you deliver quick lol!!
Haha good timing 😜 I’m glad you like these videos, I love filming my thrifting trips!
Omg! The two matching pillowcases 😍😍 i need to get back to the thrift shop! I too LOVE sewing with op shop finds, sheets, pillowcases, pretty clothes! Loveing the thrifting haul videos!
Wow!You hit the jackpot with your haul.So excited to see what you do with the fabric.🌸
I really did! So many good finds 😍

Why is that chair so expensive?! o.o In any case, nice find! :D

Yes to the sewing kit
Lovely fabric choices.
Love the seersucker! Reminds me of my grandmother - she always had these types of tablecloths.
Vintage and retro sheets are what i use for my girls clothes at Lover of Retro 💕🌸
The skirt is would be adorable with a ruffle. I love the strawberry dress!
I would 100% buy that fabric in a sewing kit and ship it to the UK. I have to have it 😍
I'm very excited every time you post!
Aw thanks so much! 🧡
That yellow vintage floral fabric is so beautiful! I would love love a sewing kit with that fabric in it. Your thrift hauls are so much fun to watch! 😍
Love when you take up along on your thrift shopping trips. We are still under restrictions due to covid, so I don't feel safe going out to shop.
If only my thrift stores were this good!

Hello Janelle. ..love shopping with you....thank you for sharing. ...remain blessed xxx
That was fun. I felt like I got to go shopping. I’m not a big shopper but I really miss it now that I can’t go out and just browse.
That yellow is my favorite! I would totally buy a kit just for that fabric!
Amazing transformations! You have inspired me to turn 3 of my old summer dresses into t-shirts and skirts. Thank you for sharing this video.
That embroidered tablecloth is so pretty! Can't wait to see what you make from it, though I'd totally understand if you don't want to cut into it either!
I know, I’m in two minds about whether I cut into it or not! It seems like a waste not to make something out of it though 😍
Great finds! I love Frankie magazine too. I found it in 2019 when I was living in London and now I'm back in canada I can read it on my library's magazine app which is awesome! So many creative ideas in it 😊

You're doing great,your stitching videos are awesome keep doing
Everything you got is amazing! I wish my local op shops had better selections of bedsheets and tablecloths!
Thanks! I was very lucky that day 😍
Lots of nice finds you got! You have very nice taste :) I'm doing a spending freeze for a year and when October 1 comes around, I will make a beeline to our local thrift shop. Meantime, thanks for the thrifting fix - it was fun!

Isn’t it amazing!! I love it so much 😍
I miss thrifting so much! What a great haul you got! That brown floral fabric is just sublime 🥰
I would totally invest in a sewing kit with that fabric. My favourite colour!
I have a set of cake tins exactly like that which I inherited from my gran! I love them. 🖤
Was hoping you'd go for the pink & orange flower material but it's not really your colours 😉
Love what you got 👍
Yeah.. not for that price! It was very pretty though 😍
Can't wait to see what you see from these sheets
Thank you so much I really really envy you, as we’re in lockdown once again. And one of my favourite things to do is going charity shopping 🛍 and I really really love ❤️ seeing what you’ve brought, and what you might do with it. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags
Excited to go thrifting for fabrics once things are open in my area
Love a good root around a thrift shop. Hope we come out of lock down soon. Missing it so much. Thanks for the fix. X
Our thrift shops are shut for lockdown, in between lockdowns had a few trips and got some lovely material to make things out of, can't wait for them to be open again! Love your thrift with me videos xx
I have some of the floral pink that you were holding up in one of the op shops. I’m looking forward to making a summer top!
Ooh pretty! 💕
I grew up with those style of clothes which I adore and love so much sadly I don't know to sew. I'm dying to have a closet full of summer clothes. Sewn by me
I love these videos I miss thrifting so much and it helps me to know what fabric things to look out for in future xx
Such great finds!
Looking forward to your flipping especially the gingham skirt, very interested to see what you will create with that. Thanks Janelle!!
I feel so inspired to go op shopping now! You found some really beautiful things.
Definitely this opens my eyes to look around on the charity shops to find fabrics, specially vintage. Ow, pity you didn’t pick the one with orange and pink daisies, I so love the combination pink and red or orange with those. Lots of hugs from uk ❤️
Omg. I loved that bright pink and orange print fabric. I wish I could get it. 😍
It was amazing, but pretty expensive!
Love those fabrics!
Those yellow rose vintage bedsheets are amazing! Such great scores. I know you're starting cake decorating just as a hobby but I'd love to see what you do if you feel like sharing sometime. Thanks for this lovely relaxing content! :)
Loved it! Those sheets are just gorgeous! Can’t wait to see the thrift flips 👏🏻
Please please please make a tutorial for that amazing terracotta skirt, it's amazing, and I have yet to find a tutorial that comes even close to it😭
Yes, I definitely plan too!
You got so much good stuff! 😍 I definitely need to hit up Launceston's op shops soon!
☺️ Thank you
I would love a video where you explain how to customize your patterns to fit us perfectly. Through trying and failing I've figured out I'm neither a size M or L, and so I'm kinda lost on how to continue.
I’ve shared the full pattern here that has all the sizes: www.roseryapparel.com/rosa 😊
Such lovely fabric, you definately got a good op shop haul :) :)
I still can’t believe my luck!
Love the first 2 pieces and was so hoping that you would choose them. I managed to find a scoop neck top with spaghetti shoulders, and very loose comfy shorts in a spearmint green and white striped seersucker fabric. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE seersucker and it's sooo hard to find these days. I'd love to make a few sets like this but I don't know how to cut out a basic gathered round neckline. It's basically just 2 pieces with the straps also used to bind the front and back pieces. I don't know if I have to cut the top pieces with a round shape first, and then gather them, or do I cut the top part straight, gather it, and then cut it into a round shape, or do I sew the top straight and then cut the bottom of it into a rounded shape that will make the top part rounded?

Hi everything is so cute!!
These are great finds 😀 Our thrift stores are still closed here. Thanks for your consistent content!
Round tablecloth = circle skirt!
“Op Shopping” ? I have never heard that expression. I love thrifting. This was so much fun, thank you from a new subscriber.
Op shop is short for opportunity shop
@@irishaorlova7413 I knew someone would clue me in! Thanks!👍🏻
This is exactly me when I go shopping for new fabrics
god, i want some bell bottoms made out of that yellow floral fabric at 11:56
Those sheets!! $6?? Wow!!!
Have you tried treating the stains before you prewash your fabric? The stains may come out if you treat it when stain remover and let it set in and then wash it.
I’ll definitely give that a try, yes!
