Come along with me whilst I go thrifting for fabric. There's a giveaway too!

Join me on a day out thrifting for fabric to use in my sewing. I'll use it in my embroidery and stitching practice and also to re craft into new clothes.
Looking for fabric is different from looking for clothes that actually fit you. Colour and fabric type come first, and then you need an open mind as to what you might do with it once you've got it home.
I'll show you what I actually got, and share the projects that my haul is likely to be used for.
I hope you'll be inspired to go and have a look at how second hand clothes can enter your stash as fabric to be used in whatever you're making!
At the end I'll give details of a Subscriber Giveaway of something I brought home but realised later that I should just pass it on...
Just comment on this video before I close the entry in two weeks' time at 3 pm GMT +1 on July 21st 2024. I'll add the winners name to the video that is published later that day.

Hi Marion, it was a pleasure giving you the little bag of oddments from my shop when you visited the town the other week. You are clearly an inspiration to others and I really enjoyed our chat. So pleased you have used some of the items as well as given some away in this Giveaway Sewing Basket at the end of this video. Be sure to pop in again when you next pass as I have some more bits waiting for you. Lee

[@carolb801]

You are a generous man!

Hi Marion, what a lovely video, loved the things you got, seems a good boot sale, could you let me know where it is? I live in Durham dales also, thankyou so much. X🧡

[@melindanaumovic8124]

Oh how beautiful!!! ❤❤ How much joy is passed on and does the circle of wonderfulness when we all give of ourselves. Thankyou Lee for giving Marion those wonderful bits and bobs because WE now get to enjoy them too!! ❤❤❤

[@cathyflower4790]

Wow, how lovely.

[@marshawindisch5150]

Ohhh that was fun to go on this adventure with you. Everything you got was so interesting!!! I loved the little sewing box too. Thank You for all you share!!!!❤❤❤❤😊

[@traceybradshaw]

My favourite hobby is to find old sewing baskets, boxes and tins filled with someone’s sewing bits and bobs then take it home and sort through the contents. I always think about the person who had collected these items over the years and marvel at the special treasures I find hidden under jumbles of ribbons, threads, laces, bias binding and elastic. I have a special love for buttons, old embroidered name labels, thimbles, pincushions and needle cases. It never bothers me if they are worn or faded - to me I shows that these items were used and cherished. I imagine the original owner sitting in her comfy chair by the fire as she mends clothes and linens in a time before we became such a throw away society. ❤️

[@jokebos4845]

Hallo Marion, Dank je wel voor je leuke en inspirerende filmpjes. Ik kijk er heel graag naar. Ik zou graag het mooie rieten vintage mandje van jou toegestuurd krijgen. Ik heb ook net als jou iets met oude spullen. Ik zou het heel bijzonder vinden als ik dit van jou zou krijgen. Liefsss Joke🥰❤️

[@judymarkel8029]

I love that too.

[@marionsworld24]

Yes to all of this message 👍☺️🪡🧵

[@maryexton7929]

I call it the archeology of sewing paraphernalia. 😊 It's thrilling to hold an artefact in one's hands that someone from long ago used and perhaps cherished. Whether it's beads, lace, a bodkin, a sewing bird, or whatever it may be, it's a connection to the past and a person long passed. Blessings, my sewist sister!

[@hyacinth4368]

I do the same thing I love to find old sewing baskets and boxes at estate and yard sales. Usually no one else even looks at it. I have quite a collection.

[@inspiringsimple]

Marion, you are a true treasure. I ‘found’ your channel late last night (I’m in Australia). I just smiled and smiled watching your video and then I cried because I feel like we are so similar in many ways. I’ve been horribly unwell for a month and have managed to hand quilt a cot sized quilt using my thrifted embroidery threads so to find you made me so happy. I thrift all of my threads and with having pneumonia and also having 11 children (yes, you read that right) it has been very difficult (on my body and heart during my time of being unwell. My children are a pure joy). All I could manage was to lay in bed and have my baby brought to me for me to feed. THANK YOU for being such a bright spot from my sick bed. God bless. Katherine.

[@jadams7198]

This amazing mother of 11 children deserves to win the lovely sewing basket. I have found slow stitching in my retirement years and love watching this clever and yet so humble Marion.

[@SpeakTruthBeKind]

Sad to hear you are unwell and with a newer baby too besides your lovely large family! ❤ sent up a prayer for you to feel better soon.

[@marionsworld24]

Hello Katherine. I'm so sorry that you haven' been very well. Dealing with 11 children, having pneumonia and being in the heat sounds awful... I'm glad that my little thrifting video brought you some joy. I thrift almost all my supplies but these days I feel I just don't need anything. Which is why I shouldn't have brought the little sewing box home. Things have to go somewhere in the end and I got fed up of just moving my 'stuff' around. If you are on Instagram you can message me through that if you feel you would like to. Sending healing thoughts your way...and hope you are feeling a bit better since last week.

Hello Marion, I am 82 years old and I remember using a sewing basket just like that when my girls were growing up it was full of ribbons for hair, buttons for cardigans, clips and many other things that probably shouldn’t have been in there, thank you for bringing back so many memories what a gem you are.

[@marionsworld24]

Lovely memories....

[@serenajohnson3549]

Dear Marion this world needs more people like you! So sweet and generous. Thank you for all the tutorials and inspiration that you share with us all. The time spent thrifting with you in this video was a pleasure, hearing you interact with the vendors and listening to your thought process on purchasing your items. The sewing basket is truly a treasure! Thank you Marion! ❤

You're most welcome Serena ☺️🌿

[@wendymanning9617]

Marion, you are absolutely right about the sewing basket find. A beginner as I am would love to have a treasure such as this-especially after you load it up with more great sewing stuff. To give it away is so generous and kind to your viewers. I’m so glad Lee actually found your channel and understands how special you are to your subscribers. Sometimes it’s hard (at least for me) to find someone who appreciates the things we create and the reasons we like to do so. Thanks again Marion❤

[@TracyAnnemakes]

I can't wait to watch this! I just had to say that I have more thrifted haberdashery, fabric and notions than I could ever use in this lifetime and yet I still want more 😆😆😆 My nieces and nephews are either going to love or hate me when I finally fall off my perch.

[@TracyAnnemakes]

I just finished watching your video, Marion and though you call us stars, you are the brightest star of all of us ✨️. Your Singer reminded me of my mom's old Singer which sat on a treadle, actually it lay inside the treadle stand which we used as a telephone table. I used to sit on the phone and treadle away while chatting to friends 🤣. Your sewing box find is gorgeous and since you will be doing the draw the day before my birthday I'll be holding both thumbs and crossing fingers 🤞 🤞🤞🤞🤞

[@marionsworld24]

I learned to machine sew on my Great Grandma's treadle machine. How I wish I still had it. Goodness knows what happened to it after I got married and moved out. Mam probably just got rid. No-one seemed to want then in the 70's.

[@bonniemiller3587]

[@julieeast7832]

@@marionsworld24 such a shame, I desperately wanted a treadle machine, just because they are so beautiful. In the end I bought two and amalgamated them, the woodwork had to be fully restored, and I cleaned the machine. This is quite a few years ago now and I still haven’t actually sewn with it! The machine has a lovely smooth motion so I see no reason why it wouldn’t work - you have inspired me to get some cloth and give it a go, thank you

[@trishjoyce9882]

Marion I love your videos and I really enjoyed going thrifting with you. 😊 Didn’t we find some beautiful fabrics, and that embosser was to special to pass up, we had such a good day 😉😂😂 Seriously though I am waiting to see the skirt you make with those two skirts… I love the floral one. I have not sewn clothes for myself since I was first married because I was never comfortable using the sewing machine. I’d like to have another try using thrifted fabrics so I’ll be watching closely 😊 I’m very happy that you found Lee’s antique shop that was a generous gift he gave you and it sounds as if there will be more. You deserve such kindness Marion. Best wishes, Trish. 🥰🌻🇦🇺

I also wanted to comment on how you make tops out of embroidered pieces you have thrifted. Such a talent you have taking any material and repurposing it for a useful and delightful item to wear. I would love to spend a week learning your tricks. You have taught me so much so I hope you keep these videos coming. Thank you so much.

Being from Louisiana, I've never seen a car-park thrift. It was gracious of the vendors to allow your filming so we could see all the goodies. You really scored big time with the seal and the sewing machine. I hope you find a new seal and get the sewing machine in working order. Thank you for the opportunity to win that sweet sewing basket. Thanks for sharing. :)

[@nicola.p]

We call them 'car boot sales' as you sell from your car's boot. They are a UK tradition, nearly always held very early on a Sunday morning, most towns have them during the spring, summer and autumn months. But occasionally you will find one run on a weekday or a Sat. We also have 'jumble sales' which are pretty much the same thing, but indoors on fold out tables rather than outside from a car.

[@marionsworld24]

I'm looking forward to dealing with the sewing machine ☺️

[@mlentz1975]

Hello, Marion 🌞 I am so happy you popped onto my KZbin feed. I normally do not watch others “thrifting” as I do quite a bit to my husband’s dismay. I too see opportunities in just about all that I lay my eyes on as I too love crafting and creating. This can be a happy burden for I have to “purge” every so often. 😁 By the way, I bought one of those sewing baskets but in red and gave it to my beloved Mother. It came back to me after her passing but this time, filled with her sewing bits and bobs…bittersweet 💕

[@marionsworld24]

A happy burden.... I like that 👍

[@dianawilson9326]

Loved the trip to the car boot! We don’t really have anything like that here, especially in the summer, it was 118* F yesterday! What we consider “old” is practically new by your standards. I live in Arizona in the U S and we have only been a state for just over 100 years, practically a newborn by European standards. I have stitched and sewn for all my life, I can’t remember “not” knowing how to sew. Embroidery and slow stitch are my first love, but I quilt, sew, knit, crochet and more. Like you, there are never enough hours in the day! I’ve followed you since nearly the beginning and have learned so much from you, least of which has been the enjoyment of watching you grow from a shy novice to a real pro in the Facebook world! Love you, Marion!

[@marionsworld24]

Thanks so much Diana 💐 it's definitely been an unexpected journey for me that's for sure! Also.. that means the sewing machine was an adult before Arizona was a state 😱

Thank you Lynne

[@shelleyfry]

The embosser is just a glorious blend of form and function, like the sewing machine. The sewing box reminded me of my grandmother and mother (although I have her basket and it’s round). The tray - along with the bits and bobs - were wonderful to see. I would love it, although I appreciate that I don’t need it, but these are evocative items that bring such joy. I know it will go to a great home whoever is drawn. And I am so looking forward to seeing what you do with all that glorious fabric. You’ve inspired me to start using items inherited from my family. I’ve hoarded them for decades - afraid of using them in case I ‘spoil’ them. Madness. So thank you. I’ve already won because of that.

[@marionsworld24]

Oh Shelley... Great message. I too used to hoard things years ago. As you say.... frightened of spoiling them. That stopped after a shelf in my Mam's china cabinet collapsed and she was so upset that a beautiful teaset belonging to her Grandma had been smashed and she said it had never been used! By anyone.... To me that seemed more upsetting than the breakages and I came home determined to use my things or else give them away. I think about the purpose something was made for... I use it... If it breaks or gets a mark I just think it's part of its life...in the same way that we age and things happen. I don't keep anything ' for best'. Best is every day...☺️

[@shelleyfry]

@@marionsworld24 Your message is so lovely. Thank you. My mother was a Loughborough lass, always called my Grandma ‘Mam’. Tears in my eyes. I’ve been using Grandma’s embroidery threads and just finished some designs she’d ironed on 40 years ago. Felt like I was holding her hand when I was working on those pieces. Some might say it’s foolish, but to me it felt like love. And yes, as you say, it’s all part of its life. I’ve made those embroideries in honour of Florrie. Hope she’d be pleased they didn’t go to waste. 💜

good luck to who ever gets it. It is a wonderful find. I wish i could something like that over here in the USA

[@pamminevins8097]

Oh how wonderful. I feel like I’ve been thrifting with you. When my husband was stationed at RAF Lakenheath back years ago we would go to boot sales or jumble sales. We found more wonderful treasures. You’re so sweet to give your sewing box away. I hope someone gets it that truly would love/need it. God bless you from the USA.

I really enjoyed joining you on your thrifting field trip and seeing things through your eyes, it has made me look at what I might already have and give it a new life. I look forward to watching you bring the Singer back to life too. Thank you for sharing your world with us.

Thanks for the lovely thrifting chats. Here in Australia thrifts are getting more expensive as the cost of living goes up. You really have to hunt for the bargains. Still I am a sewing bits addict.🤣would be thrilled with the little box.

Ohh, Marion! What a lovely giveaway! I lost my breath, when I saw you buying it at the market and again, when I realized you would give it away! The sewing basket will be more than welcome in my craft room here in Denmark.

Marion, that's such an adorable sewing basket. I'd love to use it for storage. You had a very exciting day at the sale. I rarely find old linens or threads in my area. Thanks for your generosity in sharing your adventures and projects with us.

There's something magical about using thrifted fabric and sewing bits and pieces; and I had great fun joining you thrifting. Thank you for always being such an inspiration, and I'd love to win your sewing treasure chest and create some magic with its contents xx
