vintage sheets

This past weekend, I went thrifting at the local thrift store in town. I was looking for vintage sheets and here are what I found.



They were $3 each and I already have several projects in mind to do using those sheets. I plan on making a picnic blanket using the dark pink + white checkered fabric (very top). Perfect for cool summer evening outing in the park. I am going to make vintage-style aprons, window curtains, and simple bags with the rest.

Scrap Buster Project

The weekend is approaching. I don't know about you but I am ready for a new sewing project. Now you see the image above, right? (image credit: Sew Mama Sew). Well, that very project is what I plan on doing this weekend. If you sew, chances are you'll have scrap fabrics somewhere, which I hope you keep! This project is a great way to use all those scrap fabrics you've been saving.

You can find the how-to here. It's a fun project and perfect for beginner and experienced sewists. I'm thinking of making several of them to give to friends. I might even sell some on my Etsy shop.
