Wow, what a crazy month (and a half!) since I've posted. October whizzed by in a blur, as it always does. A happy birthday for my brother at the beginning of the month, and then lots of craziness helping with Extreme Makeover Home Edition for it's Joplin build. Then enrollment for my students, and holy cow Thanksgiving is this week! How the time flies!
So, I'm back and I have some fun stuff coming up for you (my first giveaway), and some actual sewing to show off. But first, some vintage fabric finds. A couple of them from the flea market, and the others from my Grandma's house. I went shopping a couple weeks ago for some fabric at my local Jo-Ann (which is in a temp location because of the May 22 tornado), and sadly, they have very little apparel fabric. When I got home, I got to thinking that maybe my Grandma would have some fabric I could use. I called her up, and she was happy to fix me up. I brought home way to much, and here is just what I have washed and determined is suitable for use (not double knit lol).
And here are my thrift store finds:
I've already whipped up a dress out of the purple/red pattern fabric, and I'm going to use some of the fabrics my grandma had for testing patterns for next semester. I'm teaching a sewing course, so I need to pick out which patterns we will use!
