Entry: thrifterings Wednesday, July 22, 2009



more fabric for the huge fabric pit i'm transforming the house into:



the red white and blue is a nice thick canvas that i can't wait to make bags of. the green is some kind of 70's poly knit which i wouldn't usually bother with but the green colour was just too nice.



i can't resist the combination of tiny birds and quilting cotton.



and best of all was this bombastic cotton print that i found two meters of. the print is a little too big for a shirt but then the fabric piece is a little too small for ensconcing myself with. i'm open to sugestions.

i have also decided to sacrifice two of my favorite finds to my
etsy shop:



the romper that will bring out your inner 12 year old



and an indefatigable tiered knit dress.

i'm weirdly superstitious, not so much of black cats or ladders, but i feel like there's a certain balance that you have to work for, a certain degree of sacrifice that must be made before an endeavor can suceed. and it's not like there's not more eager sacrifices where they came from.

Love that red and blue canvas. Where do you stock your bags? Are you going to put them in your etsy shop? Happy sewing!
