Love the black and white gingham! |
Later that day, I moved onto the second family gathering. We were at my husband's grandparent's home, and she invited me to look through some sewing patterns that her mom had before she died. I gladly accepted the invitation, but had no idea that I'd end up hauling home about 5 times as much material as I'd given away. Not only did I acquire vintage fabric, but also some towels, a sheet, and a few patterns. So my effort to de-stash was counter productive, and I now have even more material to find a home for.
Oh well. There are a few prints in the newly acquired fabric stash that I really love. Hopefully I can make something fantastic out of them, and clear them out of the house. Any project ideas? Some of the material is so different from what I've worked with, that I really have no idea what to make.

How fun! I would love to go to a family reunion and come home with fabric. I love some of those florals!
ack! I'm so jealous! I would love to luck into some vintage fabric! :-) You could turn some of it into Jess's maxi dress...some of those would be super cute that way! I also keep thinking about the ruffled teepee tent over at Sewing in No-Man's Land...some of those would look really great as a ruffled teepee! ;-)
Drool!! Love those fabrics! I would make a dress. Okay, I say I would make a dress and I want to make one but I might not be able to cut into it! ha. I also want to make a whole cloth quilt for Ansley and depending on the condition of the sheets, that could be something cool. :) PS I have the hardest time getting rid of stuff and an even harder time saying no to cool stuff!
