| Inside of the mending kit |
 |
| The box of fabric... |
By the end I didn't have the strength left to pull all the fabric out of the box. There are a lot of floral prints GAH! Some stripes....gingham...some Thomas the tank engine scraps....some Jemimah Puddle duck scraps...Pretty much the whole box is large oddly cut scraps..strange though as a lot of the prints are the same....Father wonders if she purposely cut them that way....It remains a mystery.
Now the good thing about all that is that you can have some of it! I'll tell you exactly how tomorrow!
I know I wont use all 93 bobbins of thread! There are a few packs of needles. I sure wont use the buckles, the snaps pictured (don't worry I have some for myself). Or all those floral prints!
So pop back here tomorrow and some of these things could be yours! =D

ReplyDeletePam asked the question!! What is boot sales? I would love to go to one, two ,three, dozen or so:) My Dad is just like him as we went to a Flea Market Sat. and a friend of my Mom's was down sizing her sewing room and I bought a lot of lace WIDE lace a bag for $19.00. I'll have to put a picture of it up:) You Did Good Cherie's DAD!!
ReplyDeleteWow, did he get that all in one day?!! What a find!!
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering if she got fabric from a manufacturer - they often sell their cutouts on quilt lists, if its cotton, and sometimes cotton blend. With large, odd-shaped pieces, it sounds like a possibility. I'd love to do a swap with you.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's an impressive haul, well done your dad! When we went to car boots as a kid, we onlycame back with broken Polly Pockets!
ReplyDeleteWhoop that's a great find!!! Love it! Very jealous! I've just started a blog ... And just reading yours today it's fab!
