Anyone who knows me (even the tiniest bit) knows of my love for fabric. Now some fabrics I have developed an appreciation for but the fabric that really makes me swoon is of the vintage variety. Many designers have produced reproduction vintage fabric--of which I own yards and yards. I count it a real treasure however to actually find a truly vintage piece of fabric. There is just something about the sweet softness of vintage fabric that makes me smile. Over the past several weeks I have had the opportunity to "treasure hunt" at a few estate sales and flea markets. I was doing a bit straightening and reorganizing in my sewing room today ---mainly because I almost couldn't find my sewing machine due to the mess :) I realized that because of my "treasure hunting" I now have quite a nice collection of vintage fabric. I thought I would take a minute to share some of my favorites with you.
I really am excited to create something fun with this sweet fabric. Perhaps a little doll or something using a new pattern I just purchased. I will keep it a secret so you will have to come back and visit with me again soon :)
