Go Cross Stitch Thrifting with Me (Flosstube Extra)

[@lalenaharo4873]

Your video inspired me I ended up at an estate sale. I scored a DMC cabinet filled with Au Ver A Soie Soie D’Alger. It was $100 but about $800 crammed inside. There were 3 other DMC cabinets. But they wanted $300 for all 4 and that was more than I could spend. The others were not filled with silks they had mostly the thicker needlepoint yarns which I wouldn’t use so they were as much of a deal. Though I really wanted the cabinets.

[@Coffeebrain5674]

Love all your finish ideas! Most I would not have thought of.

[@norasayre8318]

Love the thrifting video, can't wait to see more thrifting video's, not many people realize how thrifting can save so much on cross stitch supplies, most of my floss I stitch with came from yard sales and thrift stores, I am trying to build a complete DMC set and I am so close

[@Cctexstitch]

Yes thrifting is cool! I have found DMC floss, pearl cotton, mystery linens, hoops, needles, and a few patterns. Plus lots of finishing supplies like frames and YARDS of ribbon And then there the antiquey parts/potential like my 3 antique wooden bobbins and raggedy cloths with pulled thread work i have used for trims I just keep my eye out for bags and ziplocks tucked away and buried!

[@Cali_Jeni]

Ok, so now I’m intrigued. I never thought of looking for cross stitch items this way but you can bet I am now!! 😊😂

[@HouseMuseumStitcher]

This definitely inspires me to thrift more for cross stitch finishing items!! Thank you so much for the inspiration! 💰

[@andrealoconto-du8ic]

Great video,truly appreciate you doing this.I will have to try this. Can't wait to see you again.

[@ftnfk]

"Recreational Thrifting" - my new life goal! You have some great stores to hunt in. ALL THE FRAMES!! And some cute finished pieces, too....(FYI - the Santa is by Homespun Collectibles, not Prairie Schooler. I know this because I may or may not have that pattern.... :D ) You should do some skeleton cameos for that little oval side-by-side frame!

[@leeannroberts9019]

I’m terrible at social media. Enjoyed your floss tube so much I ran to a thrift store. For $20 found a hand across the sea sampling, a the blue flower, the Scarlet letter, probably 20 Teresa Kogut, Jardin Prive, carriage house sampler, cottage garden, hands on design, Quilty barn. So very many. Very excited and thankful. Take care.

[@CrossStitchtheGlobe]

That is awesome! I’m so happy for you!

[@the_sleepystitcher]

I am here 👏 for👏 this👏 I love thrifting.. .my whole stash was thrifted things for the first year or so 😅 I've considered making a similar video at the thrift stores here in Japan but honestly I miss thrifting in the States. I don't usually find crafty things here.

[@officialmermaidscove1376]

Those are some amazing stitchy finds! ❤

[@karolrobles504]

Love checking Goodwill for stitchy finds. I have found fabric and recently a window frame frame with 4 openings. Exactly what I have been looking for. Sometimes I find nothing but worth the look.

[@MKissaCreations]

Loved this!!! I started keeping my finish measurements in a notes file on my phone so I can look for the “right” frames when thrifting. 💵

[@TessLynnxo]

That was fun! Now i need to go frame shopping. Dang girl, every-time i watch your channel Im inspired to go spend money. Stop it😂😂 Ok, don’t stop 😊 💰💸🤑

[@brightanddusty]

While I was watching this video I was like, wow, it's so interesting that somebody has made a documentary of my life starring Stephanie from CrossStitchtheGlobe 😂. J/K. Very fun video! That moment when you spotted the Lavender and Lace on the wall was absolutely epic. Thanks for mentioning me! 😀

[@CrossStitchtheGlobe]

😂😂

[@forestcitystitching]

I have had good luck finishing picture frames from Disney Parks at the thrift store. One even played music and was brand new! I also once scored about 75 skeins of Gentle Arts floss for about $15.

[@mindyjensen6356]

That L&L was a great find! 💸

[@AmniconStudio]

I was so shocked to see the angel hanging on the wall, especially after seeing the fiber and floss gal talk about her project and the hygge sticher going to start her own. I wish our local thrift stores had good craft sections. They have hardly anything for yarn and needlework stuff.

[@loftymakes]

This was such a fun video to watch, charity shops (thrift shops) in the UK have got SO expensive that you can buy the items cheaper brand new which is crazy. I buy many of my clothes and other stuff from charity shops but it’s getting harder to find good value items 💗

[@judyheim6888]

What a fun video! Thank you for sharing your thrifting adventure with us! That Marilyn Leavitt-Imblum angel is to die for. How could someone give that up? A note of concern: the black spots of "dirt" under the glass that you mentioned. There are certain invasive bugs that love picture frames--and textiles and paper--that leave dirt-like droppings. Silverfish. Bed bugs. A rental property manager once told me that when they have an apartment with a bed-bug infestation it's often the pictures on the walls that are the mostly badly infested. Something to check when thrifting picture frames. If it were my purchase I might remove the back and check the canvas, mat and frame crevices carefully. Silverfish are incredibly destructive of textiles and beasts to get rid of. Again...love your vids! Thank you for posting!

[@CrossStitchtheGlobe]

it's not black it almost looks like bread crumbs stuck to the fabric? it's hard to explain. I wondered if the fabric had gotten stained while it was still being worked on. I'll take it outside until I can look at it better tomorrow. Thanks for the heads up!

[@Allisonatthemoment]

😮

[@patriciabrown5524]

💰such fun thrifting with you! More please! My daughter gets great clothes all the time I just hate having to hunt for stuff Don’t even do it at sales time If it doesn’t hit me in the face, I don’t rummage My loss!

[@DownAllisonRoad]

I love recreational thrifting, and I love that I now have a name for it! That L&L framed piece was a score-congrats! Hope Allison is feeling better!

[@CrossStitchtheGlobe]

Yes! Thank you! Allison is on the mend ❤️

[@KhaleesiSelena]

This makes me want to go thrifting today lol

[@amy.k.graham]

💵 Nice find on the angel! Love finding good frames at the thrift store!

[@lisariva9432]

This was so fun - thank you for taking us along! I love the little display box - how fun would it be to hide a bonus stitch in there that's related to the display stitch?

[@pattyso]

I thrift so many frames! I have enough 8x10 and 9x5 for ten lifetimes, but still can’t pass up a round, oval or square frame! 😂 I’ve never found anything at a goodwill, Red Racks are the norm around here. 💰

[@sugarplumstitcher]

I love thrifting craft stuff. 💰

[@Allisonatthemoment]

Excellent video! Loved it ❤❤❤

[@hobbiesofholly]

💵 how fun was this thrifting video!!

[@gleehanson4775]

Erin Elizabeth suggested you and, may I say, "wow, I'm in!"

[@CrossStitchtheGlobe]

awe thank you!

[@rachelblack8894]

I just recently started thrifting for frames, because of you talking about it on FlossTube videos. For the Christmas tags to make into floss drops, head into WalMart or Target within a few days/a week after Christmas and get them for 50%-75% off.

[@CrossStitchtheGlobe]

Thanks for the tip!!

[@DeeAZstitcher]

The L&L for $8, wow! Fun Video. 🤑

[@camthestitcher]

Love this!!! ❤

[@tracydaly6980]

💴 loads of fun!!!🎉

[@ellenlee7775]

I love your shirt!

[@elizabethswhatsup]

Thank you for this video

[@PriviesandPrimsNeedlecrafts]

I get 99% of my frames at thrift stores. I love finding deals! 💰

[@ShastaStitches]

This was fun! 👏👏👏 💰

[@craftycatstitcher6658]

Thanks for taking us thrifting! That was fun! It's a good reminder for me to get out there to stores around me. Have you seen the Northwoods Stitcher? She does fabulous thrifting. Love your videos!

[@CrossStitchtheGlobe]

Love her channel! Thank you for stopping by!

[@robinselby1]

What a score with your angel! I would maybe wash and reframe her she’s much prettier than that mat and frame. She could be amazing! Thanks for saving her you know hundreds of hours maybe to stitch her with lots of love stitched right in😊 yes I would pay 30. For her in a 💗 my ex threw mine in the trash with all my other stitches. He was an awful person!

[@TheGoldenFamiliars]

Love!!! We should collab and I’ll take you to some OKC surrounding thrift shops/malls I’ve been stalking and shopping for years 🤣I have a closet full of frames I’ve been collecting for YEARS, lol. Great video ❤

[@CrossStitchtheGlobe]

Yes!

[@BlackCoffeeandGrits]

💲 great video! Now I want to go thrifting!

[@CrossStitchtheGlobe]

@@BlackCoffeeandGrits great minds think alike…I just kitted up whimsy witch today because your post reminded me that I love her ❤️😂

[@BlackCoffeeandGrits]

@@CrossStitchtheGlobe it is such a fun stitch! You are going to LOVE it even more 🥰

[@thefrenchgiraffe267]

I bought a shoe box of vintage sewing patterns for $2 I sold them on eBay for just over $200

[@CrossStitchtheGlobe]

Okay so I should buy them next time! ❤️

I so wish I could go thrifting, but I need to downsize to make it easier to move next year after my husband builds our new home. I would love to see more thrifting videos. I'll be selling a large number of patterns too. I've emailed you a couple of times, so you may still have my email address. If you or Allison are looking for a specific pattern, let me know. It's going to take me quite a while to get through everything and price them. I was going to start an on-line shop, but that won't be happening now. Mom needs more help now. Thanks so much or sharing. Take care, and I hope Allison recovers soon. 🤑💰💸

[@CrossStitchtheGlobe]

I replied on Etsy but I can email you ❤️❤️

[@retrorx8180]

💲so fun thrifting with you! I think I would fall on the floor if I found a custom framed fully finished cross stitch while thrifting. So good! I also think that can’t count in your budget a treasure that HAS to be saved!
