Another Fiber Project

I recently purchased this yarn from my favorite fiber thrift store, SewGreen in Ithaca, NY. (If you don't know the store, click here to read a previous post about it). I'm now making something fun out of this, but not using knitting needles or a crochet hook.....I'm using my sewing machine!

Stay tuned...

Rescued For ReUse (photo-heavy post)

One of the many reasons that I love to visit Ithaca, NY is this wonderful place filled with fabric and yarn and all sorts of fiber-related goodies, all of which have been "Rescued for ReUse" by the people who run the SewGreen Store.

This is basically a thrift store that specializes in fiber. Items here have been donated by quilters/knitters/seamstresses/tailors/etc, who have cleaned out their fiber stash and donated unwanted items to the store for re-sale. The money that is raised is used to give back to the community with sewing classes, job training, and consumer education. You can read a lot more about the store and its mission on its website.

I love their slogan...

I found a great deal on some Creative Grids rulers...

And a few other goodies... 

You never know what you'll find in SewGreen..the inventory is constantly changing.

I love their philosophy and I love the prices. Stop in if you're ever in the Ithaca area.
