A friend asked me to source fifteen yards of thrifted fabric for a beginner textile art class she's teaching at her community center. Any type of fabric will do, she said, if I can stay within her tiny budget, which resulted in a new round of wannabuts (thrifts I want but only at the minimum price.) Whatever is left over will be gifted to the students.
Here's the first fabric lot, which includes what looks like some vintage embroidered pieces. It's 11 lbs., which is roughly 33 yards, so there should be plenty for her to work with in the class.
The second lot is more quilting cottons, with obviously new pieces judging by the tags. This lot is 6 lbs., or approximately 18 yards.
I already know I probably won't get this 12 lbs. box of quilting cottons, but I thought I'd give it a try. There are probably 36 yards of fabric in there. Stay tuned to the blog to find out if I win any!
