They don’t even look like they’re from charity shop, as they’re obviously still in great condition. Use them wisely, and perhaps you could still resell in the future. Now how about you consider selling DIY knitwear you no longer need for an extra money?<br /><br /><a href="http://ebaygivingworks.blogspot.com/2014/06/need-good-fundraiser-host-charity.html" rel="nofollow">Norman Watkins @ Giving Works eBay</a><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13560852971950182511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464662522153586853.post-82379216876285695632013-01-14T17:48:56.103+00:002013-01-14T17:48:56.103+00:00Nice haul!

The few that I have found carry almost nothing sewing related (not surprising, as there are almost no fabric shops any more) and the clothing tends to be over-priced, mass-produced stuff.<br /><br />A new charity shop opened just before the holidays, but I haven't been there yet. It's upscale--heard an interview with the owner--so iti's likely to be expensive. I may check it out in a week or two when the jet stream meanders back up toward Canada (where it belongs!) and I thaw out a bit!<br /><br />TajaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464662522153586853.post-59670748817125892182013-01-14T15:30:10.928+00:002013-01-14T15:30:10.928+00:00That stripe anchor top is so you!!That stripe anchor top is so you!!Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13355862161699106142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464662522153586853.post-83752499769690270552013-01-14T12:09:17.154+00:002013-01-14T12:09:17.154+00:00Hey lady!!!

They need cushions but looking forward to making those. Also 3 lovely directors chairs at the tip. They just need a bit of oil and some new backs. Planning to make those out of about 4m of denim (not all of it) that I got at a charity shop for all of $2 a while ago. Finding the time is the hardest bit. Love the jumpers always hard to find and great when you do.

Then I just alter them or cut them up and then sew them back together to make them unique-looking. I have way too many me-made/me-refashioned sweater dresses! I also search for unique fabrics, scarves, pareo, even big dresses with great prints to remake them into tops and dresses for moi.Lovenickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08043206559384867635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464662522153586853.post-76903916070306935372013-01-13T21:35:47.824+00:002013-01-13T21:35:47.824+00:00You totes need that unicorn throw.

Everything's just crappy 90's style, and if you find something decent (say 60's-70's) it's super expensive (like £15-30 for a dress). But since I picked up sewing again I haven't bought much RTW, I think the last time was this summer. And I used to LOVE H&M... :)johanna@projects by mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01168005031829779039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464662522153586853.post-39912861744839532362013-01-13T08:32:05.089+00:002013-01-13T08:32:05.089+00:00Lucky you!

I buy alot of old knitting patterns, in Oxfam they are 39 p each but in another local charity shop I got a bundle for £2. <br />And I hate that charity shops now have their own especially made lines of products. That's just weird.Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01656274987098680937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464662522153586853.post-69652985954568097072013-01-13T07:07:19.986+00:002013-01-13T07:07:19.986+00:00You sure cleaned up!
