I haven't bough anything new for fabric since 2016. Cold turkey on the new fabric buying makes a happy quilter!Carli The Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00733894801130646276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6347755432533153540.post-34221258842964253912020-03-23T16:03:16.290-07:002020-03-23T16:03:16.290-07:00Yes, yes, thrifting saves money and time.

It has become a business with Goodwill stores, Salvation Army, Value Village and many more smaller places around the country where today's consumers purchase used goods. Hand-me-downs used to be frowned upon but now there are clothing exchange parties for children's attire and grown-ups. There is just too much consumerism.Doloreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00013261733996949731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6347755432533153540.post-3900248885583467022020-03-16T13:40:36.515-07:002020-03-16T13:40:36.515-07:00Not sure I'd be brave enough to live under tho...Not sure I'd be brave enough to live under those circumstances, but it's nice to dream! DH and I rarely wear 'proper store-bought' clothes and far prefer those we can get second hand (only exception being underwear and shoes). This winter we both invested in a couple pairs of flannel and fleece 'sleep' pants and wear those when we're at home to save our 'good' (albeit thrifted!) jeans and pants. Might not be high fashion but comfy and cheap wins every time!Magpie's Mumblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09852241848575954128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6347755432533153540.post-1825959953759754462020-03-16T11:37:17.353-07:002020-03-16T11:37:17.353-07:00That quilt even has a Bohemian vibe.
