I went to my 'favorite' thrift shop today and look what I bought for $7.40- The 2 blues at top photo would be enough, I think, for a purse. The toy story with Woody is enough for the body of a pillowcase. There are about 2 yards in the stripe/tie dyed. All the ones on the bottom are about 1/2 yard except the pink/yellow flowered, it is 3 yards of Plisse ! Came home and washed them all- I think I did good today. What do you think?-Toogie

I think you did great!!!! I never find fabric at my store! I made one of my grand daughters (the 17 yr old!) a sun suit out of that bee fabric when she was one yr old!

lol-maybe this is your left over piece since it is one of the smaller ones.-lol-This is a store in the town over, not the one my friend works at. I don't get great deals like this with that shop.

They are all such fun and brightly printed fabrics. Looking forward to seeing your projects using them and the ribbons. I think that you got a pretty good deal ;) Finding great bargains makes it a happy day doesn't it!.

Kay, I love these kind of finds. When I told my husband I'd like to stop, I figured he would groan, but no we stopped. He knows I look for bargains.-lol

Awesome find! I have some of the bumble bee fabric. I made bibs for our friend Nellie, who is a bigger girl, and I put some of Yoriko's free standing lace bees on it to add some fun!
