    I bought a big bag of fabric scraps at a thrift store a couple of years ago. I could see some pretty wool and what I was sure were fat quarters. The bag was $20. Bought it, dumped it out at home and in the middle of the bag was an entire quilt kit and pattern that had never been open and had the price tag on it. $135!!!! Plus all those fat quarters.

    I use my light tracing box for Foundation Paper Piecing! Rather than guessing if you’re tracing it right, just do it over the light box! Helps for other types of tracings, too.

    you could use old thread for basting...that way you use it up and you aren't wasting your good thread...just an idea

    I am a card maker and use my score board every time I make cards. Your grands may enjoy making paper fans and butterflies for their mommy. I use my light box frequently for applique and card making, too.

    I loved your Goodwill videos. The one by me hangs their fabric with the sheets, blankets, etc. I just got over 6 yards of navy blue with little white stars in tiny circles, For 3.99. What a find.

    How fun and crazy was this!!! And watching your face as you realized what you had was awesome! Love your thrifting videos, I’ve seen them all, some more than once, you’ve inspired me to try my Goodwill for quilting supplies and quilt backings.

  • @shirleymize7629

    The tool was a crimping tool for jewelry making - it tightens the crimp beads to hold the other beads in place or to fasten beading wire/threads together.

    I have a light box. I use it to trace pictures onto fabric, which I then paint. I've done it for years. Last used to paint my granddaughters name onto a quilt block.

  • @darlenewener6520
    @darlenewener6520 3 месяца назад +1

    I learned to sew on a Dressmaker sewing machine when I was a young girl. It's a good machine. I have the same light box too and it's great.

  • @arvettadelashmit9337
    @arvettadelashmit9337 4 месяца назад +5

    I have a Dressmaker Sewing machine from the 1950's. The head is all metal. The cabinet has the style of the French Provincial furniture (but it needs refinishing). I bought it inside its cabinet at a yard sale for $5.00. It sews; but, it is not my go to machine. I never got into the stamps. Your grandchildren may enjoy tracing on that light box. I would use the light box to trace paper foundation patterns for sewing scraps into beautiful blocks. You lucky lady you. Someone at Goodwill goofed. It gives me hope that I may one day find something super wonderful at Goodwill. Congratulations!

  • @Meyersci
    @Meyersci 3 месяца назад +1

    Great haul! Yes, I am still using rubber stamps and have taken them all 10K of them off of the wood backing, put cling foam on them and indexed them in Google Keep (that took about two years). I make Junk journals and gelli art prints, plus cardmaking and still some scrapbooking. The scoring board is very useful in card making and journal making. You can make several score lines along a strip of paper to pleat it, for instance. I wish I could find that rotating cutting board at the GW. That's sort of a white whale in the crafting world!

  • @margarethanson50

    I love thrift stores for sewing, crafting supplies. I have that scoring board by Martha Stewart. I have used that a lot. That little tool is called a mini bone folder. It helps get nice folds crds, paper.

    • @susanmei9980
      @susanmei9980 4 месяца назад +2

      Bone folders are nice for scoring quilting lines w/o marking your quilt w a pen. It just makes a slight crease that you can see just well enough to sew along. 🌟

    The purple sew cool kids machine is battery ran and it’s no thread it mixes the fibers of felt together it’s a good first step to teach kids to sew they can’t get there fingers under the needles and no thread to deal with my daughter loved it

    Great job 🎉 April has alot of stamps when she was doing scrap booking . Our Mother inlaw still does scrap booking. And making cards. Great find that rotating cutter and healing too . Great price I got one not to long ago for 40 bucks. Enjoyed your good will shopping 🛍

  • @PatriciaStephens-ou9hf
    @PatriciaStephens-ou9hf 3 месяца назад +1

    My local quilt store has taught a class on making your own fabric with stamps, and that sounds intriguing to me. I have also used plastic canvas as a purse bottom. I think you could use it to make quilt/fabric boxes as well. I use coloring books as patterns for applique, and for free-motion quilting motifs. Wow, I wish my Goodwill had all this good stuff!

  • @natalieheffner2211

    @stephaniegee3481 4 месяца назад +1

    You have an amazing craft section in yours. Ours redid them so they don't have much outside of housewares and clothing now -- so boring. Have that same light box.

  • @anneinstx1969
    @anneinstx1969 4 месяца назад +2

    Yes, you hit the jackpot. I knew as soon as I saw the circle diagram on the front. As I recall they are more than $50. I also knew the lite box was over a $100 because it took me a long time to buy one to trace off applique patterns. A lot easier than holding the paper up to a window.

  • @SharaLee60
    @SharaLee60 3 месяца назад +1

    You won the jackbox! I have the Jo Anne's scoring board to score things for my junk journals. I wish I had that scoring mat & the light box. Great shopping at Goodwill! Thanks for sharing! Have fun cutting things! ♥️😉🫂🐾🦋✏️📓🪡🪡🧶🍄🍁🎃🧙‍♀️✨️

  • @kimhanback1302
    @kimhanback1302 3 месяца назад +2

    I do paper crafting. I would love to have found the big score board. That stick is a bone folder and you use it to score your paper in the groves of the board. I quilt as well. I would have bought it for the score board and cutting mat.

  • @lindafugate2938
    @lindafugate2938 3 месяца назад +1

    The plastic canvas you saw in the store … some use it as a base inside bags. It is east to cut. I have made a Christmas village with it for under my tree also.
