Vintage Fabric Finds and latest Necklace Make...



So another rainy grey day here but brighten up by these Anemones...







































Aren't they just Beautiful, Anemones always remind me of my sweet Great Grandma...


I thought I'd share some of my recent fabric finds ...









This was a purchase from eBay... I love the colours and design, 2.5 meters so even big enough to make a dress or tunic so I bid a bit more because it was cotton... sadly on arrival  the label said 50/ 50 cotton/poly made in Holland... I still love it but not sure about the dress idea... I over heat in Poly mixes so only buy 100% cotton nowadays...

Some smaller half meter Cotton bits...



















And...

I've succumbed... I just can not cope with dampness in here anymore it can take three days for bedding to dry in here... so I've been taking it to dry at the launderette... whilst I visit the 3 charity shops in the same street...


And today I found this Fabulous Cotton Pinny from good old St Michaels, so much brighter than it appears here, it has the sweetest pocket! Found during the 15 mins dash whilst my bedding went round and round the dryer in the Launderette...






















I've finished another pair of Gloves and yes this time with a gusset...







































The is pattern below... I added some purl rows and double ribbing for added interest..




























And finally I am pleased to report that the lovely Rachel                                              (http://myrainbowvintagehome.blogspot.co.uk) loves the pendant I made for her...








































Tomorrow some sewing!!


Till next time smiles Cass x

    1. Thank you Hilde... sewing got postponed yesterday as the weather was mild and a friend offered to plant potatoes so a visit to the Allotment took its place... Cx
