First Thrift Shop Of The Year + Haul! (So Much Vintage Fabric) | Thrift With Me

[@greata80]

You sure have an eye for cute fabrics

[@RoseryApparel]

Thanks! I was very lucky this day 😍

[@zaynabdiychic2596]

I loved your tailor👍

[@ritamurphy9426]

I miss thrifting. Everything here is still closed and we still wear masks whenever we are inside any building. Your video makes it feel like normal has left us behind.

[@RoseryApparel]

I’m lucky to live in Tasmania, and I feel like it’s one of the few places in the world that is still somewhat ‘normal’. Even compared to the rest of Australia, Tasmania is the place to be right now (being so isolated has, for once, been a very positive thing) and I definitely don’t take that for granted. I hope things start to go back to a new normal for you soon xx

[@AnitaSouthall]

@@RoseryApparel And country Western Australia has that Tassie Feels!

[@p43210]

May you find horrible having to wear masks inside a building, but in my country we have to wear them any time we aren't at home. I have to wear a mask 10 hours in a row in order to attend classes, just with a break in between for lunch time, where I can take it off.

[@sapphirecamui6447]

While our stores are opened since last year, and recently restaurants opened as well inside, we have to wear the mask ALL the time when outside - so on the streets as well... :/ or in public transportation (including taxi/uber/metro)...

[@j.whittingham5901]

I'm so jealous, the thrift shops are all closed here, I miss thrifting so very much!!

[@RoseryApparel]

That’s so sad 😢 Ours were closed for a few months and I missed it soo much!

[@chantelle7840]

The tablecloth should be a wrap skirt so that you have scalloping on the bottom of it with scalloped detail going up to the waistband where it's been wrapped over. If you had spare fabric, you could make a matching crop top with the scalloping either on the hem and the waist, or along the top of the bust creating a scalloped neckline with some thin straps!

[@selinasalgado6280]

That was such a great haul! I loved that last bedsheet you showed and can’t wait to see what you make with it!

[@ajt0319]

Visions of a corner of the embroidered, scalloped, table cloth pieced into that odd wedge slit in the lovely gingham skirt. I have fun letting my mind run wild while you show us all your finds. Good fun, thanks for sharing.

[@jackiel.6416]

Real talk, you HAVE to go back for that pink floral fabric! They would make such a cute pair of flowy pants, like wide leg or harem pants. :)

[@RoseryApparel]

I would’ve bought it, but it was so expensive!

[@camillecousyn5317]

YAY! I asked for more thrifting videos in the comments of your other video, and wow you deliver quick lol!!

[@RoseryApparel]

Haha good timing 😜 I’m glad you like these videos, I love filming my thrifting trips!

[@bellaadoraa]

I soooo want a sewing kit with that yellow fabric!!! i lovee it!, i recognize the search for a new hobby when one becomes your job! i loved drawing and I studied to become an architect! and now I picked up sewing! Love your vibes and aesthetics

[@ba371-s2n]

We're still in lock down here in the UK so this was so so special to come thrift shopping with you! And what gorgeous finds! X

[@ksen1011]

During my mom's & I first thrift shop of 2021, I found an Ikea PROÄNG chair for 15$ and then some super cute floral curtains I plan to turn into covers for the chair. A literal treasure find since I've always wanted that chair but it's like 100$ for the frame and cushion together oof

[@RoseryApparel]

Wow such a good find!

[@sapphirecamui6447]

Why is that chair so expensive?! o.o In any case, nice find! :D

[@saraautrey6096]

Those fabrics are CRIMINALLY AMAZING

[@AngelaPickles1929]

It’s 12:00 am here. I so want to go thrift shopping now.

[@amoryperez1188]

Ack! I love this channel and all of your thrift hauls!

[@p43210]

I'm very excited every time you post!

[@RoseryApparel]

Aw thanks so much! 🧡

[@fifisdlo6079]

I enjoy your videos so much. I cannot wait to fix my machine 😁

[@kreativelykinya]

First place I go whenever I enter a thrift store is the linens department. I have so many bed sheets, curtain panels, shower curtains, table cloths, pillow cases, place mats and duvets that make up the majority of my fabric stash.

[@MarieClaude]

Can we please have a tour of your whole fabric stash?

[@StephBer1]

I've thrifted for over 20 years and I always buy vintage sheets and a lot of pretty doona covers. There are just gorgeous. I've never made any clothing with them though, just cushions and bags, and I've re-upholstered some chairs. I must try making a shirt or something, except I may love looking at florals but I don't wear them. We moved recently and I have 32 large boxes of fabric/sheets. I think I have a problem, but it's a good problem! 😄

[@AnitaSouthall]

Just do what I did organise your stash by colour or fabric type? I dumped it all on the loungeroom floor, made crates or boxed for the colours of the rainbow and it was sorted within 90 minutes with extra boxes for black, white grey and brown. Now when I want something its easier to access and use especially for strip quilting and my bag making #Beyondawesomebags on facebook

[@taylorbonavia3830]

I was so excited for this upload. 😂

[@dganet]

Was hoping you'd go for the pink & orange flower material but it's not really your colours 😉 Love what you got 👍

[@RoseryApparel]

Yeah.. not for that price! It was very pretty though 😍

[@lyndarandall185]

Wow!You hit the jackpot with your haul.So excited to see what you do with the fabric.🌸

[@RoseryApparel]

I really did! So many good finds 😍

[@eplma.p.4702]

Hi everything is so cute!!

[@Its_thatgirl_leah]

Have you tried treating the stains before you prewash your fabric? The stains may come out if you treat it when stain remover and let it set in and then wash it.

[@RoseryApparel]

I’ll definitely give that a try, yes!

[@SuperLollipopKitty]

Please please please make a tutorial for that amazing terracotta skirt, it's amazing, and I have yet to find a tutorial that comes even close to it😭

[@RoseryApparel]

Yes, I definitely plan too!

[@CreationsOfAMoonChild]

That vintage yellow fabric is so lovely! Would love to have a kit with it 😍

[@LaundryFaerie]

Those yellow and green floral sheets are right out of the early '70s. I'm in my early fifties and I remember printed sheets like that from my childhood. Fun!

[@auroraswarriors]

Everything you got is amazing! I wish my local op shops had better selections of bedsheets and tablecloths!

[@RoseryApparel]

Thanks! I was very lucky that day 😍

[@Mel-ef8cy]

So happy found your channel in my timeline

[@ChiaraBettaglio]

Totally love the pink orange fabric at 4:10!

[@gemineyyy]

This video filled the gap in my heart I have since all of our shops are still closed #lockdown3 😔

[@Em-bv7oo]

I’m from the UK and cannot wait for the charity shops to open again - I’m definitely going to look at the fabric/bedsheet sections for possible projects. Normally I’d skip that part of the shop!

[@robynloveschocolate]

Great finds! I love Frankie magazine too. I found it in 2019 when I was living in London and now I'm back in canada I can read it on my library's magazine app which is awesome! So many creative ideas in it 😊

[@lianapalumbo8457]

Love the vintage fabrics. I rescue animals and a family clearing out their parents home have me all the manchester, for the animals. Oh boy was there some beautiful pieces in there xx

[@janeseemann2527]

I have some of the floral pink that you were holding up in one of the op shops. I’m looking forward to making a summer top!

[@RoseryApparel]

Ooh pretty! 💕

[@agnieszka4925]

I almost cried when you passed on those two fabrics with big pink roses print in the first offshop 😅 Also, what’s the story behind your brand’s name? I don’t think you’ve ever shared it 🤗

[@AnitaSouthall]

I think you will find her answer in other recent videos or on her Instagram but a rosery is a bunch of roses or a rose garden?

[@marionlacey1074]

Thanks. for this lovely thrift shop video Janelle. Always look forward to your show and tells after. Matt does such great camera work. I think you are spoiled for choice in Tassie re op shops. South Aust does have good ones too scattered about the state, but your local shops to be sectioned better compared to the town where I live, which has three op shops. However the other day I did manage to find a very nice queen sheet set in good condition which I can use to make something. Am going to have to book an overnight cabin on the Spirit again before too long so I can plan a detailed op shop tour! Poor husband of mine! 🤣 xx

[@RoseryApparel]

Ooh yes definitely do that!! How fun it would be to travel all over Tassie, going to all the op-shops (there are so many good ones, especially in some of the smaller country towns) 😍

[@jennywalker9572]

Thank you for bringing us a sense of 'normal life'. It's so refreshing and uplifting.

[@maricelcuizon7853]

I am your fun making your design dresses. I wish to have your dress too .....😂 I want to have sewing machine brother just like you if I wished ....thank you for being inspiration and more power ...God bless

[@al.jomaie7196]

l love,,t🥰

[@maeve4747]

This makes me happy to see. I can't go thrift shopping or fabric shopping right now, because my country is on lockdown and it probably will be for at least another month but it makes me happy that other people can go 😊

[@magdalenalouise2109]

That yellow vintage floral fabric is so beautiful! I would love love a sewing kit with that fabric in it. Your thrift hauls are so much fun to watch! 😍

[@grandy2875]

I forget that op shops sometimes have fabric, and double(or queen) sheets have so much usable metreage, especially if they're all flat, not fitted...might have to start doing the rounds again... Garage sales can also be a pretty decent source for older fabrics and household linens, especially if it's a deceased estate or down-sizing situation. Our local rag used to have a "Garage Sales" section in the classified's...not sure if you have one down there in the Apple Isle, a lot of the local papers on the mainland are being shut down now because...reasons... Those yellow sheets are straight out of my childhood...had a set of the exact same ones in single bed size. It's kind of weird thinking of the 60's and 70's as "vintage" when that was just our everyday stuff...

[@MsBubu26]

I miss thrift shopping as we’re not allowed to now. Yours and Lauren Johnson are the only thrift videos I watch right now as I’m jealous 😭 great the sewing kits might be back, maybe that time it’ll be my luck 🤗

[@alexisb4565]

Hey! New to your channel and I am loving it so far! So, question: how do you tell what material will make a good skirt? I have a few skirts that were made by my grandma. I'm not sure what material they are, but I hate wearing them because they're stiff and bunch up around my legs. Are there certain fabrics that you would recommend for skirts and fabrics you would stay away from?

[@wendyfay16]

Love the first 2 pieces and was so hoping that you would choose them. I managed to find a scoop neck top with spaghetti shoulders, and very loose comfy shorts in a spearmint green and white striped seersucker fabric. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE seersucker and it's sooo hard to find these days. I'd love to make a few sets like this but I don't know how to cut out a basic gathered round neckline. It's basically just 2 pieces with the straps also used to bind the front and back pieces. I don't know if I have to cut the top pieces with a round shape first, and then gather them, or do I cut the top part straight, gather it, and then cut it into a round shape, or do I sew the top straight and then cut the bottom of it into a rounded shape that will make the top part rounded? Sorry, even I don't understand what I'm trying to say, but can you please help? BTW. I'm close to 70 and I remember my mother making heart shaped double sponges for all the church stalls. She would spend the whole day baking and then pack them into a large suitcase. I also used to make the chocolate and jelly lamingtons, and Anzac & cornflake biscuits for street stalls. Shame that they have died out now. The lamingtons were always the first to sell out, but it would have been a lot cheaper to just donate the cash in place of the cost of the ingredients, not to mention the whole day spent baking. The bought cakes taste nothing like the home made cakes .... and you wouldn't dare use a packet cake mix! lol

[@livingmy2ndchance]

Love when you take up along on your thrift shopping trips. We are still under restrictions due to covid, so I don't feel safe going out to shop.

[@saimazafar5143]

You're doing great,your stitching videos are awesome keep doing

[@yulianaagustintgr5939]

Cute fabric.. hello I m from Indonesia

[@patriciaconiglio6717]

Lovely fabric choices.

[@MegaWavesof_888]

I grew up with those style of clothes which I adore and love so much sadly I don't know to sew. I'm dying to have a closet full of summer clothes. Sewn by me

[@SirRENEE86]

You got so much good stuff! 😍 I definitely need to hit up Launceston's op shops soon!

[@barbiedesoto7054]

If you can't get that gingham skirt to work, it'd be cute as a plain mini and you could use the ruffle as sleeves on something with a contrast bodice. I love how your taste is so clear in all you pick out. I love vintage sheets, too!

[@janessanm]

We're still on lockdown in Ontario, Canada, so no thrifting fabrics for me 😭😭😭

[@RoseryApparel]

😭😭

[@alyssamakes22]

Do you do anything different to clean your thrift finds before using them? As opposed to normal laundry

[@ras8031]

Do you typically just look in the dresses section for fabric?

[@oakavon]

Have you made the golden floral sheets at 12:25 into anything yet? Very curious to see your vision for them.

[@barbiedesoto7054]

Also, for the staining, try taking it out of the wash and hanging it in the sun. Natural stains almost always come out that way.

[@shereeralph3802]

Hey Janelle, do you need to line your dresses when you make them from bed sheets?

[@RoseryApparel]

I don’t really line my dresses.. I only pick up bedsheets that are still in quite good condition (if they are too worn and see-through I’ll leave them behind) 😊

[@esmeedesi9027]

Such great finds!

[@kayjays7267]

Such lovely fabric, you definately got a good op shop haul :) :)

[@RoseryApparel]

I still can’t believe my luck!

[@leslieinadress]

Round tablecloth = circle skirt!

[@mitsuinormal]

Hi !

[@siobhanczekajski5008]

god, i want some bell bottoms made out of that yellow floral fabric at 11:56

[@kannikabaochai7320]

Uk still close wish all open again so I can go shop more fabric

[@caroldurst1855]

☺️ Thank you

[@letslistentobooks894]

wow i love the thrifting :O

[@wendyburgess2962]

Did you go to Vinnies?? Lots of treasures in there.

[@ripulsa7174]

Is the thrifter fabric like sheets or something?

[@House_of_STONE]

If only my thrift stores were this good!

[@chasingthelook]

That embroidered tablecloth is so pretty! Can't wait to see what you make from it, though I'd totally understand if you don't want to cut into it either!

[@RoseryApparel]

I know, I’m in two minds about whether I cut into it or not! It seems like a waste not to make something out of it though 😍

[@sharonbrinders1224]

Hello Janelle. ..love shopping with you....thank you for sharing. ...remain blessed xxx

[@bettyt3471]

Yes to the sewing kit

[@saimazafar5143]

Please make videos of your dresses

[@simoneb3741]

What a great haul. I recently scored some vintage baking tins for a dollar each. I'm keen to try baking Madelaines. I also bought a patterned Bundt tin which I'm looking forward to trying. Your vintage pieces remind me of my teenage years. In one of the shops you looked at a hot pink and orange sheet, I had sheets just like that on my bed. My sister had the blue and purple version. The house I live in now was my aunt's and she LOVED the 70s. There's still lots of linen and 70s utensils and ephemera here. It makes me happy because I loved the 70s ♥ I've been making bucket hats from bedsheet remnants lately. Today, I mad covers for 3 of my 4 sewing machines from offcuts of curtain fabric. I buy remnants at one of my local op shops for $2 to $6 a bag. It's wonderful - I LOVE OP SHOPPING!!

[@cziegle3794]

By water damage do you mean moldy?

[@wehiwachjyblgnuiaet4783klawct7]

VERY important question:where did you get your GORGEOUS little (I'm assuming leather or vegan leather) bag? Thanks so much, I love your videos!

[@RoseryApparel]

It’s from Sportsgirl a few months ago 😊

[@elizapowell7262]

Omg! The two matching pillowcases 😍😍 i need to get back to the thrift shop! I too LOVE sewing with op shop finds, sheets, pillowcases, pretty clothes! Loveing the thrifting haul videos!

[@melissamiller502]

My husband just walked in on me watching this video. I told him I'm living vicariously since we're still in hard core shut down. Also, I LOVE YOUR LIP COLOR! So cute!

[@BeverleyButterfly]

I love these videos I miss thrifting so much and it helps me to know what fabric things to look out for in future xx

[@theanimalsmagicshop4785]

Lots of nice finds you got! You have very nice taste :) I'm doing a spending freeze for a year and when October 1 comes around, I will make a beeline to our local thrift shop. Meantime, thanks for the thrifting fix - it was fun!

[@designwithcharm266]

Hey Janelle just a quick & important question, I want to learn patternmaking skills,do you recommend any online resource that will help me learn patternmaking. Love your videos a lot! Keep it up!!! With love, Akshaya

[@brontec9769]

Love those fabrics!

[@FoD1975]

Thank you so much for taking us shopping with you! 🥰 Just thought I’d mention, for other viewers from the UK, quite a few of the charity shops (thrift stores) have gone online. I’ve found a few on eBay. Same prices you’d pay in the shop, all proceeds go to the charity as eBay let them use the site for free, and the economy postage is really reasonable. Happy shopping! 🛒

[@karenhart4316]

Love ❤️ love love op shopping thank you Janelle 🙌🧤👒🐨🦘🇦🇺👚👕👗😉

[@LiviMadeleine]

I’m from Tasmania too and I was wondering what are your go to Op Shops around Hobart and Launceston areas? :) I’ve only recently found your channel and I love your videos and style! Thanks

[@RoseryApparel]

I think my favourites are city mission and vinnies. In Launceston I love the Newnham and Youngtown city missions best 😊

[@sekaihatsu]

It's been a year since I could thrift shop but I've been able to get stuff from family that allows me to practice my thrift flip skills (which are minimal). The table cloth reminds me of your last project with that material--a super cute rain coat. That would be adorable as a rain coat too I think. There's so much of it, there's a lot you could do with it like a valance and table runner, coasters, seat covers, I don't know.

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much I really really envy you, as we’re in lockdown once again. And one of my favourite things to do is going charity shopping 🛍 and I really really love ❤️ seeing what you’ve brought, and what you might do with it. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags

[@emmetarot2966]

Those yellow rose vintage bedsheets are amazing! Such great scores. I know you're starting cake decorating just as a hobby but I'd love to see what you do if you feel like sharing sometime. Thanks for this lovely relaxing content! :)

[@pennydurrant4036]

I went charity shopping with my daughter yesterday and I found a gorgeous double sided double duvet covera after watching your thrift videos. Thank you for the idea

[@bowerbirdstyle7661]

Love the seersucker! Reminds me of my grandmother - she always had these types of tablecloths.

[@sandym7952]

Hi😆 What happened to the tiles on top of your cabinet?? Was it impractical or did you not like it? I'm interested because I would like to do this on a chest of drawers and would appreciate advice. Hugs.💖

[@RoseryApparel]

This video was made a couple of months ago (before i made the tiled top) 😊

[@April-vc9rq]

How do I tell the difference between vintage fabric and simply old fabric?

[@jamesward5367]

Amazing transformations! You have inspired me to turn 3 of my old summer dresses into t-shirts and skirts. Thank you for sharing this video.

[@kathypatterson9454]

Those sheets!! $6?? Wow!!!

[@traceyhart8914]

That was fun. I felt like I got to go shopping. I’m not a big shopper but I really miss it now that I can’t go out and just browse.

[@cristinaarisa558]

Definitely this opens my eyes to look around on the charity shops to find fabrics, specially vintage. Ow, pity you didn’t pick the one with orange and pink daisies, I so love the combination pink and red or orange with those. Lots of hugs from uk ❤️

[@beckysbeautifulmess]

That yellow is my favorite! I would totally buy a kit just for that fabric!

[@rachelbentley8220]

Our thrift shops are shut for lockdown, in between lockdowns had a few trips and got some lovely material to make things out of, can't wait for them to be open again! Love your thrift with me videos xx
