Thrift fabric haul! Sorting and Organizing my fabric stash

Come ogle vintage calico print fabric from the 70s, 80s, and 90s with me! I thrifted someone's quilting stash, and doubled my own. I'll be ready to start piecing the patchwork of my dreams… Once I sort it all out.

My other favourite hobby - hoarding craft supplies! Yes!!

There is nothing quite like having a cat assistant to help with sorting fabric!

He always seems to know when his 'help' is required.

I inherited all my mom’s stash ranging from the 70’s to the early 2000’s……it’s amazing and overwhelming. I’ve spied some of the same things in your haul

[@retrocraftdreams]

I find it so interesting to come across the same fabrics in multiple places, so long after being made, yet still ready to become something special. And how much more special that you're connected to the person who chose it in the first place. Like snapshots of her creative process. ❤

I love calico too! I also would have had a hard time restraining myself to not buy it all. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

Thank you for joining me!

That was an unusual haul reveal.

[@retrocraftdreams]

In a good way, I hope! 😅

Try some eucalyptus oil on the masking tape residue before you wash.

Thanks for the tip! I'm used to using rubbing alcohol to get gunk off hard surfaces, and hand soap or baby shampoo on things that need gentle cleaning, but I hadn't given much thought yet to what to use to get gunk off things that need gentle cleaning.
