Hello! Firstly I just wanted to say thank you for all your helpful suggestions on finishing of my pinwheel quilt top. I will check in soon with an update for you ;) But today, I have these pretty vintage fabrics to show! My mum picked them up for me last week at the carboot for a £1 each! I know, amaze! Definately 1960s/70s era, I think some of them would make such cute dresses :)
I got yards and yards of the stuff, all 'brand new' and unused. It was funny looking at the prices, if only fabric was this cheap still!
Last month I also picked up some more vintage goodies. I went along to my local auction and managed to win a lot of paper peiced hexagons, (tons!) loads of fabric, and tapestry projects amongst other things. My favourite were the hexies the owner had already started to sew together, I would love to make my own and finish it off someday.
I hope you all had a good weekend. See you later in the week, yeh :) xo
Hi Jessie! Your mom is the best finding all the vintage fabric for you!! But I really love the hexies...maybe you can add to them with your vintage fabrics? Have fun playing!! xoxo Debbie
ReplyDeleteWhat a treasure! I think it's a good thing fabric isn't that cheap today. I know I'd be drowning in my fabric stash if it were. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat great finds! Boot fairs are the places to be. My Father is always bringing home random fabric from them =D
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful vintage fabrics!! Love the hexies!! So pretty!! Happy sewing! xo Heather
ReplyDeleteYour hexagon flowers look amazing. I am inspired (again...) And what luck to have found those vintage fabrics. Here they are very hard to find... Looking forward to you update on the pinwheel thingy.

What incredible finds! Those hexies are gorgeous - you should definitely try and finish them off!
ReplyDeleteLoving the fabric! You are sooooo lucky! I picked up some great 1950s fabric samples ( think it looks like curtain samples) but vintage sheets are few and far between now, never mind there's always eBay! Ada :)
ReplyDeleteI love that blue & white floral fabric (what an awesome find!).
ReplyDeleteYour mum is an expert treasure-hunter! I like the blue and white fabric too :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so envious! That's an awesome lot! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the hexies! What a find! I need to start making some hexies - I have the templates, just need to pick out some fabrics. What are you making with yours?
