Here's the bundle of fabric my guy thrifted for me. There are eighteen different fabrics and all but three are over a yard in length. They're a nice mix of apparel and quilting fabrics, with one canvas print, a pretty flannel and a couple of synthetics. Everything is odor and soil free. I have immediate plans for the pink polka dot, the blue and green geometric, the autumn leaf and the bakery prints, but I'm going to try to use up the entire bundle by the end of the year (more on that in another post.)
The original owner home sewed five valance curtains out of this cute juvenile print.
This plush piece is super soft, and just the right size to make into a pillow cover I need.
Whoever these fabrics belonged to made their own clothing; there's an unfinished tunic in a light peach waffle fabric that I might try to finish and wear.
I added up the lengths and the bundle is 22.57 yards total, which at $14.99 works out to .66 per yard. If I'd had to buy the fabrics I needed from JoAnn I would have paid a lot more. At $5.00 per yard resale value would be $112.87. Savings: $97.88
