thrift fabric

I’ve been on a thrift shopping kick. Ideally, I’ve been looking for a collegiate outfit for my first day back to school. But my recent trip wrought the above beautiful vintage pillowcases instead.
Soooo sweet, huh?
My favourite types of vintage fabrics are either the funky, graphic, brightly-coloured Scandinavian-style, prints from the sixties (think marimekko; or the sweet, little, silkscreened, fifties-homemaker specials (like those cases).
On my most recent trip to my super-secret special thrift shop I found stacks of perfect, perfect cottons: HAND PRINTED table cloths, cases, and raw upholstery for very, very cheap (Now you know why I don’t share my secret).
But alas, I seem to be having more success knitting at the moment than sewing. Or, actually not alas at all.
I can knit! Really and truly! It’s pretty exciting for me, since my first attempt (in the second grade) didn’t exactly go as smoothly.
Wait ’til you see what I whipped up for my blythe doll!
