Giant Thrift HAUL October 2020 (Vintage Fabric, Clothes and Sewing Patterns)

I am pulling out all the stops to show you my giant thrift haul of vintage fabric, clothes, and sewing patterns. I got very lucky with finding vintage at the goodwill outlets (a.k.a. the goodwill bins) as well as finding vintage at estate sales, and thrift stores. I share with you items I always pick up at estate sales and thrifts. As well as my tips and tricks for finding vintage clothes at the Goodwill outlets.
Grab your coffee, get cozy and come with me as I share all my thrift finds in October of 2020.

If you enjoyed this thrifting video, I have a whole playlist of other fun thrifting hauls: kzbin.info/aero/PLaG2bBTXx7U5Thr_VfriXNf_0heqfILnM

When you said “Alexa stop” my Alexa stopped your video 😂

[@seaboe1muffinchucker]

You've probably been told 50 million times, but the tape with pockets on the curtains is called pleating tape. Used with special hangers, you end up with fancy pleated drapes.

[@janewebb3477]

Crafters who do junk journals love shorter off cuts of vintage lace and trims. They sew it to page edges and use on the covers. You probably already know that.

[@johnettehaines6291]

I would have tried to get that boarder print too.

[@stevezytveld6585]

Oh. That towel. If you still have it - get in touch with a you tuber named Jarrod Tocci -Ghost. Buddy is a van lifer. He'll put you in touch with some surfers. And how many times do vintage sewers and van folk get to do a collaboration? Do. The. Thing. - Cathy (&, accidently, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown

[@StephanieCanada]

Oh that would be interesting! Thank you!

[@catherinemckegney8344]

FYI, getting down to the floor is not a problem, getting back up on the other hand…….

[@cathyswope5174]

The curtain heading with pockets is for inserting pin on drapery hooks for pinch pleat drapes.

[@StephanieCanada]

Is it really!! I have seen the older style of pinch pleats but not this one. Thank you so much!

[@cathyswope5174]

@@StephanieCanada I have pulled many a pin out of vintage drapes that were better used as fabric ;-)

[@sonjanordahl3158]

I liked the thrift store and estate sale finds. But I am in love with the bodice of your dress.

[@lizzyq844]

Use Orvus WA paste for your natural fabrics and they won't bleed. I also treat all my Batik worn a mixture of vinegar and salt in water to set the dye and it has never faded out since I started doing this. The soap you can find at a farm store and you use 1 -2 T in a wash load

[@CyberMercy]

The 50 cent crusty Tote: Deconstruct that badboy make a patern and pop the patern on the Web store Cutain pockets: the hooks would look like a 3 pronged fork doing Yoga, they would create deep swoop waves in the curtain why they were so wide - sweet find

[@StephanieCanada]

OOO! THAT is a fun idea. I could even scan the pockets so that I could get the exact font they used too.

[@janewebb3477]

I bought a grab bag of vintage sewing hooks, buttons, snaps etc from ValuVillage( in Canada ) included in the bag was a very vintage baby gowns , dresses etc.pattern. I don't know what to do with it, but I like looking at it. I should try a pattern . Love your channel !!! B

[@lottierenwick8789]

The curtains are known as pencil pleat header curtains in the UK. Unfortunately, whoever sewed them sewed the ends shut where you tuck the gathered strings into (after gathering for the required size). That's why they might have been discarded. But all that us needed it unpick the ends of the header tape.

[@bellaann518]

How awesome! Definitely love seeing people enjoying old items 🥰. I never find good scores like this!

[@StephanieCanada]

I am happy to share mine so that others can enjoy as well.

[@stevezytveld6585]

Suggestion for baby christening gowns - get in touch with a local church (Anglican, Catholic and Lutheran are your best bets). Maybe if the local parish had a collection of them available to give to new parents then the tradition wouldn't be lost. Gown's still getting passed down in the family - just different families. Side benefit - the lace, saved it gets, yes. {wonder if there's a tax break in it for you} - Cathy (&, accidently, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown

[@StephanieCanada]

Oh how interesting! I had never thought of this.

[@johnettehaines6291]

I would have gotten the bag of trims myself.

[@nzshauna3680]

Hi, just found your channel this week and really enjoying your stuff. The geese!!!

[@That_Stupid_Circle]

Oh I love the 40s dressmaking book! I collect vintage sewing/fashion/manufacturing books to help with dating pieces I find. 💖

[@StephanieCanada]

I love vintage sewing books. It teaches all the techniques the patterns lack. So I find them a perfect compliment.

[@canterbelle]

Your striped sheet from the bins is from the 60's /early 70s (we had them :) )and that wear is pretty common for cotton sheets that were used a lot. Nice find-the feel of that cotton is so nice!!

[@StephanieCanada]

Oh thank you! You know I doubted myself as I was saying it. Thank you so much for the update!!

[@TheVelvetKitten]

I just love seeing what you bought! You found some gems! I cannot wait to see the Buzz Lightyear dresses. I love making dresses from older whacky sheets. I have a Blue's Clues dress that people love so much every time I wear it. It always shocks them! Estate sales here are so ... odd. Often so overpriced! But it is fun to see inside someone's life. My fav was that skirt that was batik! But the split drawers do make me rethink my life.

[@StephanieCanada]

Oh I would love to see the Blue Clue dress! (Also now I need to find that sheet to make one for my daughter who LOVES the new Blues Clues). Estate sales are also often times over priced here as well so I make sure that I don’t really go to them til half off or more, unless they are spectacular.

[@911nmg]

Hi Stephanie! I'm on a binge of your videos tonight and I'm absolutely enamoured by the pink dress at the back. Do you know of any pattern that I could use to create something with that look?

[@moiratuttle3981]

Love your hauls. Lets my quarantine covid self have a window to the outside world cause all I wanna do is go thrifting! I wish that dress was my size... So close yet still too small

[@StephanieCanada]

I try to remember that. I am thankful to be not around an extra susceptible person. I still take all the precautions I can. And the dress is so pretty and I hope it finds a new home soon.

[@mrcymbalplayer]

Skynet! Love it.

[@StephanieCanada]

Right! You never know...

[@BeverleyButterfly]

You got some incredible things I always love your hauls xx

[@StephanieCanada]

Thank you so much! I do love a good hunt.

[@crystal8160]

Just so you know. The disney store has a really great Christmas ornament this year of buzz lightyear. It is him in the spaceship box.

[@StephanieCanada]

Oh that is good to know.

[@crystal8160]

Our entire tree may hypothetically be covered in disney ornaments from the last 5 years...

[@StephanieCanada]

@@crystal8160 I may have worked for the Disney store for almost 3 years, so SAME

[@somewhereinoregon541]

Amazing haul!

[@StephanieCanada]

Thank you so much! I try to do either a month long “what I found” instead of individual hauls (unless they are too good).

[@mrcanada1104]

Okay, sooooooo.... did you ever list those jean zippers on your website to sell?!? :D

[@StephanieCanada]

Ummmm... I THINK I sold them on Facebook.

[@lauramcguire7970]

Has that lovely pink/peach dress sold already?

[@StephanieCanada]

No it hasn’t.

[@marilyngandhi8571]

I think that stuff is sold out by now-- 2024❤

[@marilyngandhi8571]

And do you ship to Australia? ❤👋🧑‍🦳🇦🇺

[@StephanieCanada]

I sure do! My shipping thru the website overcharges (no matter how hard I work to fix it) so I always refund the extra after I pay for the shipping.
