Fabric Store Grab Bags

9/9/2017

This post is a follow up to my remnant worksheet blog.  I thought as long as I showed you some great deals on remnant pieces, I could also tell you about fabric store grab bags.  As you can see from the picture, This bag is about the same size as a quart zipper baggie.  I paid $5.00 and rolled the dice when I got it because there were so many trimmings stuffed inside, I couldn't really tell what I would wind up with.

Here is a close up. Can you see any good items in there?  Let's open it together.

Well immediately, I have already made my money back on this purchase. There were two brand new packages of lace and chenille trim.  The only thing wrong with them is the packaging. So if they don't look pretty on the shelf, they may wind up in a grab bag.  As you can see from the price, just one of them is regularly $2.99. I am feeling pretty confident now. Everything else will be bonus treasure after this.

About a yard of hook and loop tape and some cording will come in handy.

So many possibilities with these wonderful trimmings!  If you are wondering what can be done with them, just use your imagination. They are all end pieces or left overs, but I bet you can think of something a small piece of lace would work on. Perhaps a T shirt pocket or inserted into a too low V neck?  Purses and bags can always use additions.  What about hair accessories or socks? Handmade belts and choker necklaces.  Anything that has a small pocket or diameter would be a possibility.  Doll clothing is another great way to use smaller pieces.

Have I convinced you to look for these grab bags?  You may have to dig around for them. Most of the time they wind up underneath all of the other clearance items and because they look so messy in the bags, most people don't want to take a chance. You can see that when they are laid out, $5.00 was an excellent investment.  I hope you have enjoyed this post, share what you have learned and are generous with what you make. Someone will appreciate your hard work!
