More Thrift Store Goodness
I returned to my local Goodwill today, in search of a sheet to use as a backing on my bedspread top. I realized that to make a full-sized bedspread with the fabric, I was going to have to cut it into blocks and seam it, necessitating some sort of backing. Here's the finished bedspread top, and the pillowcase I made with some of the extra fabric.
The detail shows the mismatched strip I used for the edge; I plan to do the same thing at the top of the bedspread.
No luck on fabric, but I did find these two silver trays for $1.50, which I plan to use on the dresser in the guest room for... guest stuff.
And, I found a new sundress for the Bug, [40% off!] and a drum:
(specifically spotted and requested by the Bug, who always accompanies me on these little thrifting excursions). Total purchases, $3.18. You can't beat that. Really, what on earth would I do without Goodwill?
