I went to my favorite one last summer and there were boxes and boxes and boxes of nylon fabrics they were throwing away! YES I liked to died when I had picked out what I wanted and pulled it to the side of the porch thing to load in my car and went to get my car and came back and it was GONE! They had already tossed it into the dumpster. :-( BUT there were still some left so they let me get that! Made me sick though because the dumpster is really tall and I wouldn't have been able to get it. I LOVE to sleep in nylon all the time of the year so I had me some plans for this stuff. There was a bunch of the really pretty teal color in the other boxes they had already tossed. :( Rosehttp://mrsbettybargain.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61505269492898920.post-26932820971237681892012-12-20T18:23:22.408-06:002012-12-20T18:23:22.408-06:00Wow your my kind of Gal, I love shopping thrift st...Wow your my kind of Gal, I love shopping thrift stores for fabric.

It's easier then you think. Just relax and have fun. I have a link party called Wednesdays Adorned From Above Blog Hop and would love to have you share this with everyone. It runs from Wednesday through midnight Sunday. Here is the link to the party.<br />http://www.adornedfromabove.com/2012/12/6-crafts-and-recipes-and-wednesdays.html<br />Debi @ Adorned From AboveAdorned From Abovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08931923319950750384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61505269492898920.post-27541196922022055752012-12-18T22:31:38.756-06:002012-12-18T22:31:38.756-06:00Great find!

I have broken needles before, but you just pop in a new one (and maybe wear protective eye gear, ha!). I learned to sew when I was 18 and have been creating ever since, mostly quilts. Hope your new fabric find inspires you to get sewing!

I have it opened with new fabric & thread waiting for the nerve to thread the bobbin & machine. Might have to run over & check out your pinterest board...might be something useful for me there too!

Anyhoo, I decided to start off easy - straight seams, etc. I managed that without too much problem. I'm on to make 'pillow covers' today. Supposed to be 'Easy Peasy'. We'll see! lol My point is...if I can do it at MY age...I KNOW you can do it! Start simple and practice on scrap pieces of fabric first. That helped me a lotCamilleWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13668079526877014836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61505269492898920.post-9585795088659451452012-12-09T08:56:08.127-06:002012-12-09T08:56:08.127-06:00Those materials look awesome and what a find.
