Using vintage fabrics in your sewing projects

May 20, by Anne Weaver. 1 Comment

vintagefabricsAs I clean through the piles in my sewing studio, I’m realizing exactly how much vintage fabric I have hoarded.  I think I’m much better at acquiring the vintage fabrics than actually using them in projects.  Are you in the same boat?  Alida from Alida Makes has some advice for us for incorporating a vintage fabric in our sewing projects.  The post is part of the Vintage May series co-hosted by Skirt As Top and Craftiness Is Not Optional.  Go to her post for her advice.

    Yup, I love vintage fabrics. I hoard a stash of my own, and sell some on Etsy. I’d love to give a Vintage Sheet Fat Quarter bundle to one of your Craft Gossip readers. Giveaway anyone?
