I’m obsessed with vintage fabrics. It’s the first thing I look for when I go to estate sales. The darling patterns & prints, bright colors, and wonderful textures (especially anything flocked) carry a charm that I am highly drawn to. Sometimes I am lucky enough to find several yards of a sweet pattern and sometimes it may be just a small piece. Regardless of the size, if I love the print, it comes home with me. Because of this, I have an entire room FILLED with vintage fabrics (I did tell you I was obsessed, right?).
Several of these fabrics are available in my A Little Shabby Shack shop. Over there I carry a selection of vintage fabrics – either by the yard or fat-quarter size as well as an assortment of really cute scrap packs.
Do you have a box or bag of vintage fabric scraps hanging out in your craft studio or sewing room?
