This shirt is a Mens size XL. The lady behind the counter said 'That's too big for you, dear' to which I replied 'yes I know, but I won't be wearing it. I'm cutting it up for patchwork - look at that terrific fabric!'
Speaking of fabric, I was over in Malvern today, so I visited three opshops within walking distance. A small independent shop in Wattletree Road, and in Glenferrie Road I went to Vinnies and the Salvos. Both of these shops are VERY upmarket - fabulous window displays and lovely stock inside. I bought three pieces of cotton fabric for $2 each at the Salvos (not worth putting a pic on here).

Nice notebook- those are available widely in Bali, and are very cheap to buy there *BUT* you're not allowed to bring them back to Australia due to customs laws. It's much more expensive to buy a treated version here, unless it has been snuck in of course. Nice find :)
the book looks like it was made in indonesia.
a Stamp Dealers shirt!! how wonderful♥ will make great patchwork. I collected some neckties to make a shopping bag, should I have stuck to polyester or silk or can I combine both?? any hints?
Yep, great patchwork fabric!
Lyndel, I would use all polyester or all silk not mix them as the washing and ironing needs might be different and hard to manage.
I live in somerville and we have some great opshops...today I picked up 5 pieces of woollen fabric for $4 and Im going to felt them, Yeah!
I also picked up one of those handmade books at an op shop, the Lighthouse store in Laverton!
