Finally managed to make some time these holidays to do a little sewing. Have had these in my head for ages. Beautiful Vintage fabric off Ebay a while ago that was telling me it was to become pillows and cushions for my bed.
Pretty don't you think :)
( At last!!!!)
Hope you are all having fun too :)

ps. further to my previous post, most of the clothing was unsalvagable but I did keep three things, an apron, a shirt and the Percy Cerutty singlet.
They turned out beautiful! I love the color. What Holiday's do you have in Australia right now? Also, I love that the stool below was stuffed with those old clothes! What I love about antiques and anything old is thinking about where they have been and what they have done, and wondering about the people whose lives they have passed through- I know I am such a nerd!
That fabric is so sweetly gorgeous. It channels the lovelies vibe of a vintage nightgown or dressing gown - perhaps one a screen star of yesteryear would have draped herself in while getting ready to shine in front of the cameras.
Thank you dearly for your recent comment, sweet soul! I truly hope you're having a marvelous week!
Born and lived in Melbourne all my life, except for the 2 years I spent in England and Europe in my 20's. Studied Art Education at Melb Uni and have spent more than 20 years at it. Adore Vintage Fabrics, especially Barkcloth Florals from the '40/'50's but that doesn't stop me from gathering beautiful examples of anything else either!
