- Join me as I share my haul from three op shops(opportunity stores) or thrift stores that is destined for slow stitch projects.
The stores are:
- MECWA Care Malvern East Op Shop
- Purton Place Preloved Shop
- Berwick Opportunity Shop
This video is by special request of Elizabeth Carter. Enjoy! 🤗
Always fascinated by your hauls! Thrifting may become addictive😅but sooo interesting,enjoyable and relaxing!! Ciao,Christine! Thank you!
Thanks Giusi - I really shouldn’t be encouraged to go and do thrifting as the craft room is full to bursting 😂 cheers, Christine
Wow!!! What a haul.
Absolutely loved that tablecloth with the beautiful dangly lace on it. I imagined all sorts being done with it. A centrepiece in a quilt?? A journal?
Oh the mind boggles. I look forward to see how you use it and what you do with it. Ideas are endless. ❤❤❤
Thanks so much for watching Melinda and for your wonderful ideas! Hope you have a fantastic, creative weekend. Cheers, Christine 🤗
That lace fabric is a find!!! It's gorgeous!
Thanks so much for stopping by and watching. Really happy with the lace! Cheers, Christine
Hi Christine, the lace panel with the 'castle' looks like a souvenir from Nottingham, a city in England (famous for lace making in the 19th century, as well as being the home of Robin Hood and Sherwood forest). The picture is the cathedral church of St Barnabas, and the motto and stags are Nottingham City's coat of arms. The latin is 'vivit post funera virtus', which means 'virtue survives death'. I think the archer must be Robin Hood! The other building is Britain's oldest pub, 12th century, called Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem - the rear of the building is carved out of the solid rock of the cliff behind, on which Nottingham castle stands. King Richard the Lionheart is said to have stayed in the castle before setting off on his crusade to Jerusalem in 1189AD. Am enjoying your channel and hauls! xx
Thank you so much June for that wonderful context and history for this piece. It is fascinating what you can find in an op shop - I love the pieces like this that have stories associated with them. It will be extra special to use this piece now. And thanks for watching my videos and commenting. Have a wonderful weekend. Cheers, Christine 💛
I had to read all the comments because I just knew someone would know all about the Nottingham tablecloth. Love that you knew all about it and the names of each building. I was going to look up the Latin. Thankyou soooo much it’s absolutely fascinating and just love the pub being carved out of the rockface. Thankyou. ❤❤❤

Hello from New Zealand 🇳🇿. What a lovely haul. 😍.
Hello Tania - thanks so much for watching and I hope you have the chance for some fun thrifting in your beautiful part of the world. Are they also called opportunity shops on NZ? Cheers, Christine
Wow! Australia has great thrift stores! We have a few good ones here in northern Illinois but it’s pretty hit and miss! What a great haul!
Thank you Midge! We are very lucky here with lots of great goodies to discover at op shops. Happy thrifting for your next outing. Cheers, Christine
What a great haul. As soon as I saw the white with the sections, I thought what a great piece for shashiko stitching. I haven’t done any yet because…new hobby? Hubby would fall over if I start something new…though, if it’s still stitching, is it new?? LOL. You have way better shops that do a beautiful job of cleaning and packaging the used goods over there. Enjoy the goodies.
That is a fantastic idea - I haven’t done any shashiko before either and would love to try it! It’s definitely slow stitch so I think let’s just call it that for those around us who think we have too many crafty hobbies 😂 cheers, Christine
Loved looking at all the goodies you got. Our thrift shops don't have all the nice things like you got.
Many thanks for watching Jo - always interesting seeing what people find in op shops in different parts of the world. Cheers, Christine
Thats a great stash I love your haul video's you always find cool stuff. I can't believe Robin Hood turned up in table cloth form. I have some Nottingham lace it's beautiful.
Thanks Elizabeth - always lovely surprises in thrift or op shop hauls. Hope you’re having a great weekend. Cheers, Christine
What a great haul!
Thank you 🤗
Love the piece that are squared. I have a hard time finding them . But all was beautiful
Thanks so much for watching and commenting. It’s always such a surprise what you discover when thrifting. Cheers, Christine
Great haul Christine 😀
Think I might check out some of those op shops myself 😃
I’m not sure if you’ve come across it yet but the Reverse Art Truck (I go to the one bear to Berwick) is also fabulous for sourcing all sorts of fabrics and other crafting materials. Having watched a few of your videos now I think you’d love it! Cheers, Christine
@@createandcraftwithchristine I haven’t but I was telling a friend recently about the large recycle place we used to go to for the kids when I was a primary school teacher. Fabulous stuff.
Just looked it up. Seems like the modern version of the same shop and similar area.
I believe that pink flower piece is called stumpwork. It's where they stuff the designs to make them 3D
Thanks Kimberley- I think you’re right. I watched a video a while ago on stumpwork and its history - really fascinating! Thanks for watching. Cheers, Christine
@@createandcraftwithchristine Sarah Homfrey has a really good video explaining it and a project of I believe a dragonfly to do also
@@kimberleymaloy1728 yes, she has wonderful videos - I have watched the one on the history of stumpwork which was really fascinating. Thanks so much for suggesting. Cheers, Christine
Christine, I have so many beautiful items like you show in this video, but I'm just not sure how to include them in my slow-stitching projects. I hope you soon post some videos of how you use them so I can borrow from your ideas. (I'm posting this comment from across the big pond, all the way from the Mississippi River in Illinois, USA.)
Hi Valerie - thanks for watching. I’ll be sure to create a video soon sharing some ideas including some previous projects that you may enjoy. Cheers, Christine
Hi Valerie - just letting you know I’ve posted a video just now creating an easy slow stitch project (a fabric envelope you can use to hold slow stitching work or other goodies) which I’m embellishing with a range of the items I thrifted. Hope it gives you inspiration and you enjoy your little shout out in the video. Cheers, Christine
maybe us melbournites could meet up for coffee one day
That would be fantastic, Annette. I’ll put the call out in an upcoming video and also if anyone else wants to comment here.
It’s for dinner rolls for a more formal dinner.
Ah thank you so much Diane for solving my mystery item. Cheers, Christine
Hi Christine, I bought my first crochet runner today with the intention of cutting it up but was afraid that it would completely ravel if I start cutting it into sections. Is there a special way that you cut your crochet pieces up to keep it from unraveling? Thanks for any suggestions in advance 😊
Hi Kimberley - I’ll put together a short video for you tomorrow as I need to cut some of mine up to replenish my stash of pieces. Cheers, Christine
@@createandcraftwithchristine thank you so very much!!
@@kimberleymaloy1728 Hello - here’s the link to my video - I hope it gives you confidence to proceed with cutting up your piece. Enjoy and let me know how you go. Cheers, Christine ruclips.net/video/DbPG7_eWI0c/видео.html
Love the sewing threads, I’ve made dangles from them in the past 🤗 nice haul, check my #thriftythursday
Thanks Valita for stopping by and I’m watching your video right now - great laces and yarn so far! Cheers, Christine
What a great op shop haul! I love to embrace the stains and holes but on occasions I prefer to remove the stains. I have had success with a recipe soaking in dish washer powder. I found the recipe on google. Love to see what you do with your stash
Thanks so much Jan for watching and for the tip to remove stains - will definitely give it a go on any pieces where the stains bother me. Cheers, Christine
