I saw it on the shelf.
But I haven't sewn apparel in years. I'm too lazy. It's easier to go find something at Marshalls.
This one spoke to me though. I'm fabulous! it cried. Find some vintage fabric and make me. I'll be to die for, you know it.
I couldn't resist. I love it.
I have to say that barkcloth patchwork is pretty snazzy. But I found the perfect fabric. Vintage fabric. Oh yeah.
Postman, please don't dilly dally or lose my package. I'm patiently waiting.
My first charity auction is up and running!
I've been busy sewing bags and totes for my upcoming craft fair so I made a extra, a special one for the auction and you can find it here on eBay.
100% of the sale price of this bag will go to help all the furry souls over at A Place to Bark.
Bernie Berlin is the tireless force behind this incredible place. If you haven't heard of Bernie or her shelter here is a little blurb from the website.
"A PLACE TO BARK is a no kill foster and adoption rescue dedicated to the welfare of animals and was founded by Bernie Berlin. Established in 2001, we mainly work with Animal Control Agencies, rescuing animals from high kill shelters and fostering them until they are healthy. This provides an ideal situation for the animals. They are then placed for adoption through Humane Societies in various parts of the country. We cover all costs for the medical care of the animals with no cost to the Humane Societies. We also handle some private adoptions after a strict screening process."
If you want to help out Bernie and the animals and get a fun tote bag too, check out my auction and tell all your friends!
Find these fab flowers here!
Black and white.
Now throw in a little lime green.
Then there is my perennial favorite, pink and yellow.
It was a late night of sewing with more of the beautiful Summer Soiree fabrics.
Here is my late night sewing partner. I know, she's a slacker.
I'm keeping this one for myself.
Let's go shopping!
Just wanted to say hello to everyone that has made their way over here today from Design Sponge, one of my must read blogs. A favorite feature is the Before & Afters and they were kind enough to include my recent wet bar makeover in their blog today.
Also, I want to say hello to everyone that came over today from Melony's Whimsy Daisy. Melony had just the nicest things to say about my recent batch of purses and I love her blog because she "gets it". You know, that whole vintage vibe thing.
And I'm still sewing purses!
The paint brush has been put away and we now return you to our regularly scheduled sewing projects.
These pretties will be making their way into my etsy shop this afternoon.
I know, I know....I need more fabric like a stinkin' hole in the head. What can I say.
But I just could not resist these beautiful new fabrics, Summer Soiree from Paula Prass.
Looks great with that roll of vintage wallpaper. That wallpaper is part of a big "before/after" project that I am tackling tomorrow. Can't wait to dive in, get it done and brag about the results. oh yeah.
I'm back to making purses.
I'm having fun with all the little details.
I love the colors and patterns in vintage fabric.
Vintage jewelry + vintage fabric = perfection!
