    I have many of your patterns. Most recently made the composition covers. My grandchildren LOVE them as they always have a pen and pencil handy. My sister uses hers for her knitting journal.

    I teach children at the local library to make hand sewn dolls, my pattern is called POCKET PALS, and would love to have the pattern for the yoyo dolls, they would love them.
    Being a senior, I have trouble finding comfortable underwear, and would love that pattern advertised as”unmentionables”.
    Thanks for your generosity.

    My dsis just gave me an Indygo Junction pattern for a bag made from blue jeans. She won it in as a door prize and thought it looked to difficult for her meager sewing skills. I think that was just an excuse–she really wants me to make the bag for her. LOL! In fact, the pattern is very clear and easy to follow. I just need to go to some yard sales this weekend and look for jeans.

  23. Jennifer Cheek-Payan says

    I was just drooling over these patterns yesterday! I adore the dresses, and I can easily see the aprons becoming part of my growing collection of cute retro aprons. Pick me! I’m just startingout sewing from patterns, as well as learning my way around a sewing machine. Most of my sewing is handsewn reproductions of 18th c. Accessories, so this would be a nice change. Definitely going to buy some patterns either way!

Thrift Your Way to Sustainable Crafting: 10 Flea Market Hacks for Upcycling Success

If you’re a crafty soul with a love for the environment (and a bit of a bargain hunter at heart), flea markets are your playground. There’s something magical about digging through a table of second-hand treasures, only to find an item that’s perfect for your next upcycling project. Plus, the bonus? You’re keeping items out of landfills and breathing new life into old things. Talk about sustainable crafting!

But if you’re new to the world of thrift shopping or upcycling, you might be wondering where to start. No worries! Here are 10 flea market hacks that will take your crafting game to the next level and help you master the art of upcycling.

Look for Pieces with Good Bones

When you’re hunting for upcycle-worthy items, keep an eye out for things that still have structural integrity. A vintage chair with a bit of wear? Perfect. A broken lamp with a cool base? Ideal for a DIY redo. Look beyond the wear and focus on the item’s shape and overall potential. You can always add a fresh coat of paint or reupholster a seat, so don’t be afraid of something that looks a little rough around the edges.

Don’t Underestimate Old Picture Frames

You can find picture frames for next to nothing at flea markets, and they’re a goldmine for upcycling projects. Whether you’re turning them into a chic wall organizer, a beautiful mirror, or even using the wood for a smaller craft project, old frames are full of potential. Bonus points if they have vintage glass or cool patterns that can be repurposed as part of the design!

Repurpose Old Books into Wall Art or Shelves

Books with tattered spines or missing pages are still great finds. Use them as a base for creative projects like a rustic shelf or repurpose the pages into artwork. You can frame individual pages or turn them into papier-mâché creations. They’re super versatile, and you’ll love how they bring a bit of old-school charm to your home.

Fabrics Galore

Old linens, tablecloths, and even scarves can be transformed into some pretty amazing things. Grab any fabric you can find—whether it’s a beautiful vintage tablecloth or a worn-out shirt—and think about how it could be sewn into something new. From patchwork quilts to upcycled tote bags, the possibilities are endless with fabric!

Repurpose Glassware into Candle Holders or Planters

Flea markets often have loads of glassware, from vases to goblets, that can easily be repurposed. Take a glass vase, remove the flowers, and fill it with candles for a boho-inspired centerpiece. Or use small glass bowls and plates as planters for your succulent collection. Not only does this create one-of-a-kind decor, but it also helps you keep those glass items out of the trash!

Pick Up Broken Jewelry for Parts

Don’t let broken jewelry fool you—those mismatched earrings, tangled necklaces, or tarnished bangles can be a crafter’s dream! The components like beads, chains, and clasps can be turned into new designs. Combine them with other found items and you’ve got yourself some fresh, upcycled pieces—whether it’s a bracelet, necklace, or keychain.

Old Wooden Crates Make Perfect Storage Solutions

Wooden crates are a dime a dozen at flea markets and can be turned into stylish storage or home decor. Stack them on their side for an industrial-style bookshelf or hang them on the wall for a unique kitchen storage solution. A little sanding and a coat of paint can easily turn these into functional, stylish pieces in any room.

Thrifted Rugs as Wall Hangings or Throws

Rugs that have seen better days don’t need to end up in the trash. If you find a beautiful but worn-out rug, consider using it as a wall hanging for a pop of texture and color in your living space. Alternatively, you can cut it up and repurpose it into smaller pieces for pillows, coasters, or even a funky patchwork throw blanket.

Vintage Silverware = Crafty Goodness

Vintage silverware is often found in sets at flea markets, and it’s just begging to be upcycled into something unique. Old spoons and forks can be bent into jewelry, garden markers, or even turned into wall hooks with a little DIY magic. Plus, silverware is sturdy and easy to work with, making it a perfect material for crafting.

Turn Old Furniture into Statement Pieces

The real gems at flea markets are the old furniture pieces that are still solid but maybe need a little TLC. An old dresser can become a trendy sideboard with a new coat of paint and some sleek hardware. An outdated coffee table? Flip it upside down and turn it into a statement lamp base. The secret is to visualize the item in its transformed state and have fun with it!

Thrift shopping at flea markets is like embarking on a treasure hunt, and the best part is that you get to turn your findings into sustainable, one-of-a-kind craft projects. Whether you’re an experienced crafter or just getting started, these upcycling hacks will help you create beautiful, functional items while also helping the environment. So, next time you’re out and about, don’t be afraid to dig deep. You never know what hidden gem you might find!
