This huge estate sale is of a dressmaker in South Carolina who just locked her doors in 1981 and walked away from the store she owned. 40 years later, myself and two other vintage RU-vidrs are getting access to hundred of yards of deadstock vintage fabric, vintage patterns, vintage trims and all other kinds of vintage clothing and jewelry! I will show you a taste of my estate sale haul, but that will primarily be the second video in this series. But there are still estate sale finds to be seen in this video as well.

I worked at a Cloth World in the 70's, and this is bringing it all back to me. What I remember most was having to take about a yard and a half of each vertically placed bolt and bias fold to drape over the end. It really did show off any fabric well.

The fabric bolt from Dan River. I used to work for that company in 1979 in Danville, VA. . For the employees there was an outlet we got to buy fabric at a discount. My grandmother worked many years there and I remember she took me to buy fabric, She made my wedding gown from Dan River outlet. My best friend made comforters. I worked in the weave room. Seeing that bolt brought back memories.

Flower Power! You just transported me back to the late sixties/early seventies when college student would-be fashionista me spent all my spare time sewing outrageous outfits for myself. So many of these fabrics are at least sisters to ones I used and wore. Considering I was living in Iowa at the time, my wardrobe was pretty far out there. I’ll be emailing about a couple of the tamer ones, btw.

I loved that we could see a lot of the info on the end of the fabric bolts, it was a great walk back in before my time. You know, when there used to be American textile manufacturing and there were names for fabric like Avril ( rayon) and Dacron (polyester). Super fun video for us fabric nerds!

I swear my mom had a sheet set at one point that look like the fabric from the moldy bolt. I might still have the pillow cases somewhere. I’m also in love with that mustard-y plaid fabric and I’m trying to talk myself out of seeing if it’s still available. I want it but I definitely don’t need more fabric, but the idea of turning into a half circle skirt is soooo tempting.😬 edit: oh my god that orange plaid 🤤😍
