The
same op shop yielded quite a bounty on another day. The roll of grey is
lining fabric, $8 for the roll but a bargain considering it costs at
least $5/metre new. The pink fabric was also $8 for the roll. I think
its some type of 1990's parasilk type synthetic. It has a matte finish
and a crisp hand so I think would be great for a 1950's style dress:
The pale mint green fabric is actually silk - 7 metres for $1 as it has several large stains, but at that price I can cut around them! Question is what to make with it as it very fine and floaty. Would it tear when wet? Have to do some testing...
The last fabric is a soft cotton-y dress fabric with an interesting faux stitched hibiscus print :

Skirt or shirt maybe?
Oh and I nearly forgot! Either a very large hanky or smallish scarf? Regardless... am digging this graphic print:
All up quite a good haul for two separate half hour visits to my local Oppy ;)
Happy sewing/thrifting!!!

The hanky looking one is cute. I've not been to my local Op shop for a while. I like trawling the boxes for cheap or vintage patterns at the Salvo's. Must try to go again this month. Pop on over for my giveaway, won't you.
Thanks Kim! Op-shops can be real treasure troves at times. And the Woolies voucher giveaway sounds great :D
