We only have a couple of thrift shops here, and they have decided apparently that $10-$12 is a good price for ANY of their clothes! LOL that's not exactly "thrifty" in my opinion! So I don't get to tear into jackets and pants anymore. Kind of a bummer! Because you can find some of the coolest textures in those mens jackets!! Anyway... i just wanted to say JOB WELL DONE!!!! Lots of work!!! And that Dora.... rofl.... whatta ham!! I love her and want to adopt her!! So if you EVER get tired of her, I will arrange for a flight out to aunty bren's!! :DBrenishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07867222865018437724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2935207946660056757.post-59362629850204292822008-10-06T09:20:00.000-04:002008-10-06T09:20:00.000-04:00Sheri, I only keep the sleeves and backs too, r...Sheri,<BR/> I only keep the sleeves and backs too, ripping linings off is not worth it. The thicker wools are great for pennies, backs of other projects and braiding. If I really love a thicker wool, I cut it one size smaller than the rest. It is also great for eyes, you can cut small cuts and it won't fall apart.<BR/><BR/>Jo,<BR/> Even the dog loves it, he will lay in the pile if it is on the floor.<BR/><BR/>DebbieWoolenSailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08621977477193550261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2935207946660056757.post-55046273081544614542008-10-06T08:33:00.000-04:002008-10-06T08:33:00.000-04:00Now THAT'S a huge pile of wool.

I've never been able to figure out what it is about a pile of wool that entices them to snuggle in and curl up?JoJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12488275878253530422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2935207946660056757.post-55500688703767600482008-10-05T23:19:00.000-04:002008-10-05T23:19:00.000-04:00I live dangerously close to the Salvation Army and...I live dangerously close to the Salvation Army and the Disabled Vets thrift stores. I can't drive by without stopping in just in case the "perfect" piece of wool is there. I don't think I've ever left empty handed. I'm getting pretty fast at tearing clothes apart. I have a system for the pants and jackets. (Just the sleeves and backs of blazers) I'm saving all the wool that is too heavy or too light for hooking. I don't know what for, but what if I need it for something?
