    I have just unpacked a 20ft container after 10 years... I can't believe how much vintage fabric I stored. It's exciting and overwhelming lol. Love your haul.

    Right away when I saw the green gingham and orange 70’s fabric I pictured a peasant top! Would be so cute!

      You're spot on because I made a smocked peasant top out of a solid white with green stitching and then the tablecloth is the matching shorts :-)

    Some wide leg pants Christine, or even a jumpsuit for that first “funky” baumwole fabric. 🥰 really liked that navy large dotted fabric as well. Can’t wait to see what you make with them. 🤗

      Oh I love the wide leg pants idea!!! Hmm...gotta think! 💜

    Well done with your thrift finds! I love that vibrant pink quilt cover and the floral flat sheet - so pretty! I recently bought some linen from a thrift shop (we call them ‘op shops’ here in Australia) and one of them is a flat sheet with a geometric hedge-like print of green and scattered blue roses on a white background. I can’t wait to make a square-neck dress with it!

    The home Dec fabric. A jacket . I love using home dec fabric for jackets. They can be any weight depending on the season.

    The minute I saw the green/orange print I thought shorts and cute crop top! That would look so cute on you. You really scored with the vintage finds, I buy sheets/other linens/home dec all the time. It's all fabric! As long as you pair the right pattern with the fabric it will work. Plus, old sheets are great for making muslins for any woven pattern. The piece you thought was tatting looked like drawn thread to me, tatting is used mostly as edging. The mint piece I don't think was to be used as a sheet. It may have been made from sheeting but was possibly a spread. You wouldn't cover it with a blanket. I guess it could be used as a summer sheet/blanket but it may have been meant as a spread. I could be wrong, Europeans may use bedding differently than we do. Anyway, it's all gorgeous and I'm mint green with envy, lol ♥️

      Haha! Thank you for your fun comment! I love your idea of the green/orange print for shorts and a cute crop top, that sounds adorable! Vintage finds are indeed a treasure, and repurposing linens for fabric is a fantastic idea. Thanks for clarifying the difference between tatting and drawn thread. I'm thrilled you find it all gorgeous💜

    Love the pink and red bird print duvet. Can’t wait to see what you make. I love designs that include birds!

      @SewingandtheCity  Před rokem

      Thank you! Birds are a wonderful design element. Stay tuned! 💜

  • @thegirlwithdustonherface

    AWESOME FINDS!!!!! That green sheet is my fave of the lot! I seriously would make a kimono style something outta that, slip it on and sit on my back deck drinking coffee and lounge on a weekend morning!

    I love up cycling old linens. What an awesome haul, finding duvets are such a score of fabric. I recently found a dkny duvet of shirt weight fabric with shell buttons for $6! Those all look like table clothes

    • @SewingandtheCity
      @SewingandtheCity  Před rokem

      That's fantastic! Upcycling old linens is such a creative and eco-friendly approach. Thank you for tuning in!💜

    love your selections! Perhaps you can use the "Baumwolle" for a vintage dress from the 1960. I think that could be wonderful with this cotton!

    The handmade linens that you find and transform are my favorites!! Please show us all the magical garments you make from them. By the way, how tall are you?

    Where do you shop. I am two hours from Los Angeles. We don't have those hand made things

    • @SewingandtheCity
      @SewingandtheCity  Před rokem

      I'm in Spain :-) But in the US, I would look for estate sales in your area, also the goodwill or ebay...

      thank You for the answer. I live near Palm Springs California. We don't have many started sales. This next three month the temperatures raices to 110, 115. And everything slows down. I love it here.
