Especially ...I love, love, LOVE household textiles. Especially vintage ones, and especially when they are such a bargain. I recently went thru my linen closet and revisited (as I do each time I clean that closet) the 40s and 50s things that were my mom's. She's been gone since 1963, my 80-something sister just died and I am the "baby" at 64 years old. So just what am I saving those things for. I used to use some of them around the house, but I don't decorate the same way anymore. I came to the 3 card table-sized printed tablecloths, rather like the one you showed. One needs a bit of darning, one is going to be cut up to make a dress for a muslin bunny, and one became an apron for me! New printed fabric for backing, ties and pocket but I am thrilled with it. I plan to wear the heck out of it once it is exhibited at our county fair. Also came to some hand-crocheted lace and used it today to make some "magic pillowcases". Do you know about these? Look it up and you'll find multiple directions. They go together like lightning, and are French-seamed, if you care to do that. Otherwise you can do a regular seam and seam finish. With all the fabric you've bought recently this will clear your stash and make for some lovely gifts.<br />Carole Medleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11041394490876041896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3373492091382931118.post-74231329139960274902017-07-18T16:45:46.554-07:002017-07-18T16:45:46.554-07:00I believe all your treasures deserved a new life. ...I believe all your treasures deserved a new life. the dancing bunny is the cutest.<br />shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10970423541823157057noreply@blogger.com
