Thrift-O-Rama

 This week I went thrifting for some furniture for my sewing/ bedroom. And Oh my gosh, I could not believe all the amazing things I found.  First I walked in the store and the first thing I seen was this lovely bookshelf. I purchased this bookshelf for only 18 dollars!



 

I loved their stash bin. The store had a small bin filled with fabric. I had went crazy, all the fabric was a dollar a yard.I felt like the luckiest girl in the world at that point. I purchased majority of the fabric that was there. Anyway here's everything I purchased.

I purchased my first knitting needles this week,because I have been learning how to knit at school. So I was excited when I ran across 4 bundles of yarn for 2 dollars at the thrift store.

 

Last I purchased this cute teddy bear tin.

 

 



Huge update/ haul

  I have been so busy lately, In two week I have been sewing a muslin blouse for school. This was defiantly a project for me because I had so many firsts. I learned how to do a Hong-Kong seam finish, put in a 6-step buttonhole and sew a collar in. I learned things I have not tried before.I wish I had took pictures before I turned it in, but my camera was down.  The good news is I finally got the grade for my skirt this week and I scored a high B.  In class we are currently working on making a little black dress. I am thrilled because this is our first project we are making out of fashion fabric. I will be updating you guys through the process.

Now for the haul:
 I had shopped at Joann's, Walmart and Vogue this week looking for the greatest deals on fabric and notions, and this is what I found.

This fabric is so beautiful. I fell in love with it the moment I seen it. I really want to make a blazer or Burda 7460.

price- $4.99 a yard

I purchased 2.5 yards of this black poplin for the little black dress I am making at school.

Price- $2.99 a yard

This was some navy blue denim I found in the remnants section at Vogue.

1.5 yards for $4.50

 I plan on making a cute summer blouse with this fabric.

I purchased 2 yards for $1.30 a yard.

This is a nude colored cotton I bought from Walmart for $2.00 a yard.

The nude colored lining was on sale for a dollar a yard so I picked up 4 yards.

Last week I purchased three patterns when they were on sale. This was one of my most exciting purchases because I found an OOP pattern.

Modaxpressonline.com review

 Last week I was looking everywhere for some  inexpensive back to school clothes and got nothing.So I figured I would try this modaxpress . I bought two pairs of pants, a brown pair for eleven dollars and a grey pair for eight dollars. Majority of their clothes are on sale and are reasonable prices. I have to say this is a great site to get teens and kids clothes. The shipping is super fast, I received my order four days after purchase. Here is the site

These are the brown pants I orders and I love them The pants fit me like a glove.

These pants are the grey pants . I think I could have went one size down because they are not as fitted as I would like .
