The ultimate vintage sewing experience? Sewing vintage fabrics on my Singers and of course using all those nifty Singer attachments which make it so much fun. (I'll show those later - each and every one.) But first a couple of recent fabric finds.
How absolutely gorgeous is this? Scrounging around in an antique store recently I came upon a basket stuffed with odds and ends of old linens. I picked up this piece which was sewn into what looked like a huge pillow case (?). Bought it for $3. Unpicked the seams, washed and ironed it, and I have 1-5/8 yds of beautiful chintz fabric. It hasn't told me what it wants to be yet, but I love just looking at it.
Then the other day at an Estate Sale I came across this piece which I bought for $1.50. A very lightweight cotton in a dainty, delicate print. It needs to be made into a darling little dress of some kind.
UPDATE: Sunsuit I made for a sweet baby girl with this fabric!
