- Thrifted Fabric Haul: Over 150 yards of fabric
Get ready for a thrifting extravaganza! Today, I'm sharing with you a massive fabric haul of over 150 yards of pre-loved, vintage, and unique fabrics that I've recently picked up from a garage sale. From cotton prints to polyester blends, these fabrics are perfect for a variety of projects, from clothing and home decor to quilting and crafting.
You'll see a wide range of colors, patterns, and textures, including florals, stripes, polka dots, and geometric designs. Some of the fabrics are brand new, while others are scraps. I'll be going through the haul, showing you close-ups of the fabrics, talking about their weight, draping and the potential projects they can be used for. Whether you're a sewing enthusiast, a crafter, or just love to add unique touches to your home, this fabric haul is sure to inspire you. So join me and let's dive into this fabric treasure trove!

You can find out if a fabric is cotton or not by snipping a small piece off and lighting it on fire if it ashes it's cotton if it melts into a ball it's not
Thank you for the advice
I love all the fabric. I'm addicted. Where I live in New Brunswick canada there would never be a garage sale like this. Consider yourself fortunate. Koodoos to you. Best if luck with whatever u make. I'm envious.
I got a very big lot of fabrics from the 1960s and 1970s at a community yard sale last year. I’m still sorting and figuring out what all to do with it, and I’ve divided some of it amongst my quilting friends.
Where are you shopping? Beautiful fabric
I love your new fabric!
If you don,t want the crow, I would love it
Many moons again, a friend of mine worked in a shirt factory. He gave me bags of shirt pockets....made a flower garden quilt, it has stood the test of time... it's beautiful.
....
Wow that is awesome and a wonderful way to remember your friend. I would love to see a photo of the quilt.
Hello, I am watching from New Zealand. Cannot believe how much fabric you find in Garage Sales. Or how cheap it is. We just do not see this in NZ.
Patchwork is an expensive hobby here. Loved watching your finds.
I watch FB Marketplace and I’ve done some major fabric hauls over the past year. I have about 100 yards of flannel and the same in fleece along with about 200 yards of cotton. I’m working my way through. I feel great when I sell items from the reclaimed fabric.
That is how I have found a lot of my bigger fabric hauls from too. Often I have to look at the pictures for garage sales to see if they are selling fabric or not.
Wow! you hit the jackpot on fabrics, J like finding sewing supplies at garage sale
Yes! Thank you! It is always amazing to see what you can find at garage sales
A scrap quit would look awesom.
I defiantly plan on doing one soon with all the small scraps I have left over.
Wow!!! 👍👍👍😊
Thank you! 👍
Spectacular haul! Can't wait to see what you make.
I’m so jealous 😮, I loved everything. I’m excited to see what you make.
Thank you
I'm stopping and starting to make comments as I watch so I don't forget what I want to say, so there's probably gonna be a few edits as a result... soz 🥴
I'm pretty sure the black birds are either crows or ravens, but definitely not magpies because they are black and white, and also don't think you have maggies in the states...
the cat prints that you say you'll make pillows from are panel prints and are usually used to make wall hangings, tableware - table cloths, placemats, runners etc, and sometimes quilted throws for the back of chairs or lounges...
edit:
I really like the creamy coloured snowflake damask/jacquard type fabric, though it is a bit difficult to know for sure what the fabric actually is without being able to feel it and see it in person but it's still a pretty one, not entirely sure what to make out of it, but it is pretty,,, maybe a personal placemat or napkin, or a cover for a makeup stool, or a doily type thing for your dressing table/vanity.
Maybe some of the farm style prints could be cute aprons and/or bibs with the flannelette as a backing so it's softer against the skin, with the border part of the prints gathered or pleated around the edge...
when my grandmother was getting towards the end of her battle with Alzheimer's she needed to be fed and the carers would use specially made large, 3 layer bibs for the residents. these bibs had a pretty print on the front, a moisture proof lining and a soft fabric, like flannelette or a thinner fleece, on the back, to help keep the dear old loveys a little bit dryer if they spilled anything,,, and they used the same sort of stretch ribbing around the neck hole that is used for the basques on the sleeves and hems of sloppy joes and track suits, so the bibs could just be popped over the head so no ties, buttons or hook & loop tape closures to cause any issues...
sorry if this is all a bit long winded...
you really did score big and at the price you paid for it all, I'm more than a little bit jelly I gotta say
Anyhoo, I hope you have lots and lots of fun making all the things you're going to be making...😁

Thank you for your comment and help identifying some of the fabric. 😄
Loving your haul. Ty for sharing. I would guess by watching from where i sit the blue with Polar Bears looked like Poplin. Also the big squares are called panels. They make good pillows like you said or ready made quilt top or cafe style curtain if big enuf.
Have you considered making mug rugs(over sized coasters) with some of the chicken fabrics and kitchen fabrics such as the coffee beans and teapots? I think they would be cute and the would probably sell well in small sets of 2 or 4 mug rugs.
That is a very good idea. I was thinking some hot pads but mug rugs would be nice to do to. I'll have to make a set and see how they turn out.
You need to research some of the fabrics that you have because many of them are very valuable, such as the laurel Burch, which were the ones with the birds and the lizards check it out
Thank you .
Why can’t I luck out like that?????
