I found another yard sale bonanza last Friday: a liquidation of an
entire sewing room. Dozens of large tubs of fabric, thread, zippers
and buttons, all sorted and labeled!
I bought ALL the thread and
buttons, some fabric and zippers, along with notions, plastic storage
trays and a rolling storage cart. Over 330 spools of thread, 105 cones of serger thread, about 50 zippers, 72 yards of fabric, and
THOUSANDS of buttons. Most of the fabric was apparel blends, or I
would have bought more.
I've been doing happy dances all weekend, thinking of ways to use everything. It's like winning the sewing lottery. I am energized, happily merging this wonderful find into my already well stocked studio. I shouldn't have to shop for thread or buttons for a long, long time.
Thanks to LeAnne for
the opportunity to keep part of her mom's sewing collection alive and
useful. My space will need to be reorganized
to fit everything in, but that's half the fun. My husband is trying
to decide whether or not to reinforce the floors on this end of the
house.
Do
not question
the size of my fabric/thread/button stash...
unless
you think it should be bigger!
