Vintage!

Wow.

Ever since I started sewing everyone and their mom (literally) has been giving me their secret stash of fabric they don't want! Which is great, I love free fabric, just some of it is just sort of taking up space cause I know I won't use it..hm..I wonder if I could find some sort of use for fake fur...

I went to Huntsville this weekend to help my friend move into her apartment. If you don't know Huntsville has the most prisons in Texas. WOOOOO!!! Anyway, I made her take me to this antique store to look for fabric, haha. I found this REALLY COOL vintage flour sack that says Hollyhock on it! It was calling to me, haha.




I also scored this really awesome fabric book with the alphabet that I plan to make bags from. I LOVE R FOR ROBOT!!!!




So I'm totally going to be making really cute alphabet things.


*giggle* Robot.

Vinyl Love

My mom works at a bank, so they had these huge vinyl banners made that I guess they didn't need anymore so my mom gave them to me to cut up! There are two of them and altogether its probably about 64 feet of vinyl SO I'm really excited and made this little guy today. It's a little zipper pouch with a window for an ID and a clip for keys. It can hold money or a cell phone, and the best part is that its made of a thick vinyl that is easy to clean! This will go with the stuff I plan to sell at school, I forgot to put a label in it :/ oh well. I want to make some totes and wallets from this material too, definitely not another pouch as small as this one, it was a booger to turn inside out! Oh ya, don't mind the really crappy sew job on the window there, oopsy.
