Another Source of Fabric

feb13 001Yes, like we fabric stashers need one, I found another source of fabric that I’d like to share. The best part is that it’s cheap and you’re actually doing good deeds; supporting a charity and reducing the landfill. Goodwill’s last chance for merchandise sales occur at the Blue Hanger, on Burleson near Montopolis. Goods are sold by the pound- $1.40. Pictured is my haul from one shopping trip; several yards of unused upholstry fabric, a long curtain, a sarong, and an evening jacket, all useful for fabric arts.
Take a trip there, but beware! It’s like Filene’s Bargain Basement when they wheel the fresh carts out: a shark tank feeding frenzy for garage sale items. Insider tip; do NOT approach the new bins until the official ‘Go’ signal is given or you will be chastized! (And no pictures either, which I found out the hard way.) They cycle the carts of merchandize all…day… long… til 9 pm! You might want to wear soft garden gloves if you go through the housewares. http://www.austingoodwill.org/shop/locations/outlet.html
