Some of the best fabrics can be found at thrift stores like Goodwill and Salvation Army. But a pair of too short out of style pants made of silk for $2 - you can't beat that! Wool skirts make excellent fabric for stuffed animals, and vintage silk or synthetic square scarves can be sliced, diced, and sewn back together into a stylish halter tunic.



Greenwillow Crafts
A crafter for too many years to tell, I began by making gifts for family and friends. I enjoy many kinds of crafts and do cards and notecards, hand embroidered items and sewn creations as well as art photography. I love to be able to switch from one medium to another, and often I will use more than one in a particular craft. It's a joy to see something come together, and to know that someone else will receive joy and love from the items I make.
