New Patchwork, Old Fabric

I have shown off vintage fabrics and linked you to different book resources for sewing with vintage fabrics, but not once have I created a collection of what artists are actually sewing with these antique fabrics. Thus, I have decided to dedicate this to the creation of patchwork with vintage fabric. The results of recycling fabric are beautiful!

Dazzling Diamonds Fabric

When I think diamonds, I think argyle or kites (or jewels...), but how many of us think of diamonds on fabric, let alone vintage fabric? There are so many various decorative patterns featuring diamonds that are beautiful to work with. Sew a skirt, curtains, pillows, reupholster the kitchen chairs, make a journal or picture frame, create doll clothing, incorporate this into your quilt...... Use your imagination, stretch the limits with your creative ideas. In the meantime, check out a few of these diamond-patterned fabric from a few vintage etsy shops.

Tribute to Cow Lovers

Cows often go overlooked as an animal of feelings and thoughts of any kind. But cows are like any other animal - unique, beautiful, and we show that we need them, though there are definite alternatives to dairy and meat products. Either way, they are sweet, loveable animals and here is my tribute to their existence on Earth. Here are some vintage picks from various etsy shops, including my own.
