Photo of price tag on the back of the cookbook. A bargain at $3.49 from Savers.

She had stacks of these cookbooks and they are easy to find in #OpShops so I am on a mission to collect the ones I remember from her collection & cook up some fond memories.

A selection of fabric and sewing patterns on a dark brown wooden table. The top row has from left to right cotton fabric in maroon with dark yellow patterns, a big bundle of black velvet, pink knit fabric, blue and green striped cotton fabric, dark purple green and blue cotton fabric, plain dark brown fleece and dark brown with a gold pattern fleece. In front of this from left to right is a booklet on D.I.Y. bed linen with a price tag of 50 cents on it, followed by 6 vintage style patterns for tops & t-shirts, long shirts or blouses, tracksuits, jumpers, dresses and rugby or polo style tops.

Had a really fun day with my Mum. We were supposed to have a #craft afternoon, but we just popped into the shops for a couple of things 🤣

I got an amazing haul from local #opshops. I now have supplies for probably about 7 projects! And some new patterns that all cost less than $1.50 each!
