Vintage Fabric of the Day

Ok, so usually I'm a bit of a snob when it comes to vintage fabric, forgive me please! I always prefer to buy and showcase pieces that are over 1 yard in length, larger if possible. However, a good friend of mine has been urging me to consider the importance, and market for, smaller cuts. Maybe, just maybe, she's right and I should stop overlooking these tiny treasures. Therefore, my vintage fabric of the day post is actually a bundle of some of the cutest vintage fabrics I could find.

Let me introduce you to..... this adorable bundle of floral and geometric print fat quarters.

I love the bold floral prints in varying shades of green, purple and aqua, combined with an adorable lime gingham and delicate purple calico. Put together by Swell Goods, of Etsy, this bundle includes 10 fat quarters. That's two 18" x 21" pieces of each of the five fabrics. Better yet, this entire collection which equals 2 1/2 yards of fab vintage fabric, is only $14.00.

'Til next time, keep enjoying the vintage splendor,

What Became of It Wednesday: Nautical Picnic Beach Blanket

I always get excited when I see what becomes of the items I sell. Although I am the creative type, I very rarely have the chance to bring any of my vintage supplies to life. So, when I run across a seller who has made something truly wonderful, out of something they purchased from me, I can't help but get all giddy! Here is the first in a series of blog posts that I'll be doing called What Became of it Wednesday.

I am so excited to present to you this Nautical Picnic Beach Blanket by SewnNatural.
A few months back, the mother daughter duo purchased some fabulously mod, red, white and blue fabric from me. I absolutely love what it was transformed into!

This perfectly patriotic beauty is eco friendly and incredibly stylish. Use it for a Fourth of July picnic or a day at the beach.

And what is even better, is that it becomes this sweet little 11" roll with a handy carrying strap, for easy transport and storage.

Thank you Jen and Jane of SewnNatural for making my day! Be sure to check out this mother daughter team's Etsy shop. They combine their wonderful eye for design, with an eco friendly sensibility. I can't wait to see what they sew next!
