Found Fabric

I lucked up and found a box full of old fabric that I had in storage.

It was so old in fact that I had to wash it.

The sun was so hot that day before I could get a line full, the fabric was dry!

Busy making jam over at Dolly Is Cooking

Be back soon here with different fabrics in the Rooster Apron

The Rooster Apron

This is the apron that was made from the Vintage McCall's Pattern 1143

The year for pattern 1944 approximately 68 years old

It is so fragile I had to copy and remake.

It was so good to finally find the pattern though because it was a hard one to find.

I have a lot of chicken lovers in my friends' list.

This one was a custom order.

I just wanted to share it with you.

Michele for you to look at

I now know why those websites say colors may vary from photos....

The fabric in the middle is fabric shown with notions

The fabric at bottom here would have to have pink or white chicken

This is the fabric with the notions above

Michelle this is showing up much deeper in color than it really is because it is much softer

this is showing up some darker also it is a little paler

This is showing a little darker with a green tint, it is yellow actually.

Much darke in detail than other two...would have to have another color rooster

I am using some inspiration from a friend and my vintage and very frail pattern

I realize this is a rather boring post but wanted to get some fabrics on.  Maybe you will tell me your likes and dislikes as for color combinations. I will shortly be sewing full time after this canning is done in the kitchen look out....sewing machine will be smoking!

Oh I will show you the finished products...

Well that is what is happening in the creative way today

Just received a shipment of excellent fabric from Quilt in a Day....can't wait to dig deeper into that huge box 

Hope you all are creating in some form or fashion out there...

Thanks for visiting

Lovely Fabric and Gorgeous Artwork

Do you sew?  Do you love fabric?  I sure do! 

You can imagine that a fabric store is my favorite store of all....well that and clothing, shoes, furniture, home decor....rambling on

The colors, the textures, the feel of fabric....yes and my all time favorite is guess what?

Cotton

I purchased these fabrics online at Dorothy Prudie Fabric & Textiles on EBAY.

Ok so buying online isn't as much fun you can't actually see well, or feel but you can find some very unusual pieces.  She has Vintage and Vintage Like fabrics that are just beautiful.

Like these:

My absolute favorite piece French Country

It is a linen/cotton blend and looks like 5 fabrics in one

it runs the entire length of the fabric.

My comment is WOW.

This is a vintage style animal jamboree

Isn't it cute?

This Christmas Vintage Style is very pretty

Printed Vintage Style Grandmother's Flower Garden

I love to piece my own but this little piece will make something really cute.

I hope you enjoyed your window shopping this morning.

Oh I almost forgot check out the artwork here and on the  side bars.
