I was very good, after dropping off the many many bags of mostly fabric to donate to the creative re-use thrift store, at not choosing a comparable amount of fabric to bring back home.
I got: 1¼ yard of black tubular rib knit that at least feels cottony; 1¼ yard 44" minty(?) green cotton; 2 3/8 yards 45" ivory that I'm now doubting is pure cotton. Edit: Did a burn test on the ivory, it very thoroughly melted. So. And, since I had the candle lit, I went ahead and did a burn test on the green, and it...skeletonized? Does it contain silk??
I was hoping to get some solid cottons in good weights for shirts, and the heavy ribbing was a nice additional find.
This place usually has a little box of vinyl samples, and I found several that should be good for doll purses. Someday.
The red one is technically not vinyl--the plastic layer is polyurethane instead of PVC. I just thought that was neat.
I also grabbed a small package of aida cloth remnants, for whenever I finally try punch embroidery.
The bulk of my purchase, however, were 10¢ patterns. So many 10¢ patterns.
32 of them, and I didn't second-guess any, so there are some that I got home and wondered what flash of potential I had seen that made me put it in the basket. I may have been just trying to get away from the person who reeked of cigarettes. (And that was being smelled through my mask, too.) (Also glad I waited to go to this store after I got the latest covid booster, because there was a sale today that brought more people into the store at once than had been in the store combined with my previous visits. My friend and I were the only ones wearing masks.)Or I may have just been thinking "10¢, why not." The store has older patterns for $1 each, which is still a good price, but...compared to 10¢ each, I just didn't have any interest in those.
Here they are, presented without comment
