Ways to Find Fabric for Slow Stitching- Frugally & Intentionally| How to find Fabric for slow stitch

[@debbiefrick4380]

I have acquired fabric through all of your methods. I have friends who have given me decorator and upholstery samples with the paper tops. These are usually mixed blends and heavier fabrics but are great for texture. Recently, a friend who makes clothing for her grandchildren gave me a 30 gallon grocery bag full of really small scraps. When I tell people I will take pieces as small as 2 inch squares they really understand I will take all scraps.

You hit the jackpot with your friends! All are so unique and wonderful supplies for your projects!

I have a large tote full of jean fabrics that I have saved from old clothing. I also look for denim dresses and jumpers at thrift shops. Bigger sizes=more fabric! It's a plus when I find embroidered areas on the pieces. Like you, I get fabrics from many places. It's fun to go out looking for unique pieces...just never know what you'll find! Great video!

Glad to hear this was helpful!

My favorite way to find fabric is thrift stores. I dearly love when I find crocheted pieces, or embroidered pieces like you said in the video. I found two beautiful quilted pillow shams last week. Sometimes I find little pieces of fabric at the Dollar tree too.

So true! It's like a treasure hunt! 😊

Quilters who have yard sales are my favorite source.

I’m very lucky that I have a lot of fabric from my Mom who sewed throughout her life. I also have many of her old linens, too! 😃❤️

[@DanielaMellen]

❤️ That is very fortunate! How sweet!

Our one and only quilt shop in town has bins of scrap fabric, both cotton types and wool. She provides three sizes of plastic bags to fill for a fixed price. Funny little note she posts a sign that tells you the bag has to be zipped up, not left open. Too cute.

[@DanielaMellen]

Awww! I think I'd love that little shop!

Thrift stores and Estate sales!

Great video. More great sources I look for are pretty scarves, placements, lacy curtains, prom dresses, wedding gowns, hankies, and bandannas too.

[@DanielaMellen]

Wow! Lots of great ideas. Thanks for sharing!

I like this video. I found pieces of fabrics and embellishments through friends. It is so much fun. Love thrifting too. Thank you for sharing. What a great day to begin my day today.

Charity shops here in the UK are a great source of fabrics too. 💕

Where do you store all your fabric finds when it comes to larger pieces? I'm new to slow stitching and I have a pile starting 😅

[@DanielaMellen]

I have clear tubs where I store the fabrics. I sort it by color and holiday. And I have scrap bins for smaller pieces. Some people use baskets or dresser drawers.
