Love all the doilies and linen. Such unique pieces that I haven't seen anything like before. Also the buttons from Woolworths. A lovely piece of history.
Thanks Sally - I couldn’t resist getting the cottage and gate doilies and they are even more lovely in person. I’ve put all the buttons in a vintage tin and am enjoying looking at them 🤗
So many beautiful finds! I so love the hatched cottage with the gates! You have a great eye for beautiful things, Christine. Thank you for continuing to inspire us. Pls. take care. 🌸tess
Yes, I've run into it when taking apart men's Scottish wool tweed jackets to reclaim the wool. So many layers of cloth, interfacing and padding to build up the shoulders, it's really complex.
All I could think of was that the material had something to do with horses so glad Dianna mentioned tailors horsehair interfacing. Gorgeous embroidered piece though. Some lovely things in your haul Christine. We are buying all the op shops out! 😂🎉
Oh,Christine, I cannot decide which is my favourite piece! The tablecloth with the wax is wonderful and the cottage doilies,and the blue ones😍love the beige wool blankets! And did you say 'needlebook '??? Can't wait!! Thank you ❤
Awesome haul Christine love them all, and great eye for what you're looking for. I removed wax off fabric by using a sheet of brown paper at the bottom, lay the fabric that has the wax on and another sheet on stop and use a warm iron no steam and iron it, the wax melts to the brown paper, lift up to make sure the wax has melted to the paper and remove. Hope that helps. Huge Hugs xx
Thank you Christine for your video and sharing your amazing haul with us. It is so lovely that you can still find these goodies in the secondary market. I know you say you have a lot, but you need to get them when you see them as they don't hang around for long. It's not as if you are not using them. Those blanket pieces are superb and definitely a couple of throws in their future. I never got to stitch last weekend so I am going to try this weekend to watch your other videos. See you soon 😂
Thanks Carol - I am so looking forward to getting stitching with those blanket pieces as they feel amazing. And I’m glad you feel the same way about the amazing linens and picking them up when you can. I hope the weekend just gone afforded more stitching opportunities. Cheers, Christine
Another gorgeous haul. I love the cottage, and those pieces of wool blankets are gorgeous. I'm sure you'll do something fabulous with them. When I first saw your video come up with the crewel book I thought you must have read my mind. I've been thinking about some new cushions and more or less decided that for this time of year crewel work and its lovely rich colours would be nice. However it's at the end of a long list of things I want to do 😂
Thanks Linda - so funny when the things we’re thinking of pop up in other domains. Crewel work would definitely be lovely for winter and cold weather crafting. I look forward to seeing what you create when you get to it. Cheers, Christine 💙🧵🪡
That is an epic haul! It’s amazing to see how many beautiful things you got, and so much variety! Those buttons are lovely. Definitely a worthy addition to your collections! The blanket at 37:45 with the satiny edging, my parents used to have a few blankets with edging like that. I always found them a bit odd, but I guess there was a fashion at the time. They were never expensive blankets, so I wonder it it was for fray resistance?
Yes. The satin edging seems common on many vintage blankets (but new ones too) so I think your theory might be right. So looking forward to getting stitching with this lot 🤗 cheers, Christine 💙🧵🪡
More lovely goodies TFS Christine . I’ve told Sally I’m not buying anything more until the new year … no fabric related stuff or paper crafting unless it’s essential . Ummm one week gone (I’m not counting ) haven’t bought a thing didn’t even go in to the charity shops why we have been out , hubby was very happy 🤨
As I say Pat - you’re definitely a much stronger character than me 😆 I wouldn’t even be able to make that commitment, let alone stick to it for even a week as things always seem to find me 😆 It’s lovely that you family get you stitch or craft related gifts. We mainly focus on a lovely shared meal at Christmas with our family rather than gifts these days as so many already have everything they need so I don’t mind buying myself gifts 😆 cheers, Christine 💙🧵🪡
I love your Thrifty Thursday, Christine. Makes me envious as our thrift ships in QLD are now so expensive, I just don’t go there. Would you please give me some advice, I’m wanting to do some You tubes of my craft and I tried study however not so successful. What editor do you use? I can’t work out how to add quite a few small videos to make one up load to RUclips . Best regards, Kaylee.
Hi Kaylee - it’s sad that it’s getting so expensive - that’s why I purchase when I can 🤗 I look forward to seeing your videos and the promo gram I use for editing or stitching together videos is iMovie on my iPad or iPhone. It’s pretty intuitive to use which is good. The only challenges are you need plenty of extra space on your device to be able to save the combined video and it does take a bit of time to save and also seems to take longer to load to RUclips than a single take video that you haven’t edited. Shout out if you have any other questions regarding iMovie and let me know when your video is up 🤗
@@createandcraftwithchristine hi Christine, thank you. I have now created my first YOU TUBE however I think the upload was a fluke, it took me a few hours to work out how to upload it from the iMovie app. I don’t know how to use iMovie too much but have managed to upload it. My you tube name is “Krafty Kaylee Kreations” @kayleehealy8406. Please be kind if you comment, I’m sure you will, I sounds terrible and didn’t know what to say, fingers crossed I’ll get better ongoing. I have now purchased a camera arm which I will use doing some hand stitching next time…. Cheers kaylee
Is there any way could you do A video please for a beginner to just start stitching , about what to stitch on best threads to use and where to get your resources please thank you

Everything is so lovely!
Thank you Cathie - I can’t resist such lovelies 🤗
Look at the loot! Great scores!
Thanks so much Judith 🤗
I think the fabric is tailor's horsehair interfacing, used to support the folds in the collar ,etc.
Yes, I've run into it when taking apart men's Scottish wool tweed jackets to reclaim the wool. So many layers of cloth, interfacing and padding to build up the shoulders, it's really complex.
Thank you so much for solving this mystery! Fascinating! Cheers, Christine

Gorgeous embroidered piece though.
Some lovely things in your haul Christine. We are buying all the op shops out! 😂🎉
Thanks Christina - you got closer to guessing than me 🤗
@@createandcraftwithchristine I don’t even know why I thought horse lol. Just popped into my head. Must have had magic brain turned on 😂😂
Oh,Christine, I cannot decide which is my favourite piece! The tablecloth with the wax is wonderful and the cottage doilies,and the blue ones😍love the beige wool blankets! And did you say 'needlebook '??? Can't wait!! Thank you ❤
Thanks Giusi - so many exciting finds! And yes, some needle books are definitely in my future stitching - look forward to sharing 🤗

@@DottyBeeVintage lol it helps when you give family a Christmas lists of craft stuff you want 😉 and you know your get 99% of what’s on the list x
@@patriciapage7197 ooh lucky you - that’s something to look forward to 😊
