Great find!

Looking to stock your stash? Then you need to head over to Thread-Bare, home of The Stitching Studio!



I discovered this little gem a couple months back thanks to Caitlin (Salty // Oat). It has awesome fabric at great prices. You name it, Ann (the friendly owner) stocks it: fabric by the yard, fat quarters, jelly rolls, and even a scrap bin. Caitlin and I were working on a collaborative quilt, and she said that Thread-Bare was the place to go (we were on a budget, since the quilt was for charity). We made out like bandits! Somehow, we only spent about $7.50 total, we picked out more than enough fabric, and when it was all said and done we still had fabric left over for a second quilt top.


This place is an absolute godsend—especially for someone who is new to sewing—you can pick through the donated fabrics and find some great deals. And, hey, if you mess up on the project you're attempting—it's okay—you only spent a couple bucks on the fabric. As I mentioned earlier, there’s even a scrap bin you can sort through (for free)! One gal’s trash is another gal’s treasure!


Here are the goods from my latest trip:

And for those of you who were wondering…. I’m still cutting away.


And ironing.


And measuring.

And cutting some more.

Right now it feels like there’s no end in sight!
