My dear friend Yvette gifted me this beautiful barkcloth recently. I love it so much! She made the sweetest dress out of it and gifted the rest onto me. Thank you Yvette. I hope I can come up with something as lovely as your beautiful dress.
While dropping off bags of loot to the oppy recently, I picked up some lovely velvet fabric. Definately enough for a skirt, I think. This sweet lace made it home with me as well. No clue what I'm going to do with it. Sign me up for hoarders!
A couple more florals for the stash as well. The lemon/grey is a sheet and the other is a bedspread. To chop or not to chop is the question!
Are you still thrifting up a storm? Have you been sewing lately?
Sadly, I have not! But I am collecting and dreaming so when

That velvet is beautiful Lea - bit of a 70's vibe going on there I reckon...it's going to make a gorgeous Winter skirt x
Mmmmm drooling over that bark cloth.
Oh I love that velvet Lea! Velvet and corduroy are my weak spots with fabric every time. Gorgeous pile from miss Kylie too. Love the last two as well, I have the blue one in a yellow/brown colour way. Hope you find some more time soon, I am struggling to find sewing time at the moment but am doing heaps for the school fete. mel x

Beautiful fabrics Lea...I have no doubt that when time permits you will whip up some gorgeous clothing pieces.
Always a delight to pop by and see what has been making you happy.

Gorgeous sheets and wow - mint condition! I can't wait to see what you do with the barkcloth. :D
Wear your hoarder badge with pride... until the cupboards and house is so full you have to sleep out under the clothes line in a makeshift tee pee! rochelle
Oh my goodness Lea such beauty I see here!
Great for making a skirt too, maybe?
so happy you have joined my sew-along,
re the sizing question the skirt comes up large the hips so bear that in mind and yes probably best to take in, rather than make too small?
hope that helps. I have published the first part of the sew-along today it may help with your question, take a peep?
