Vintage fabric and a resolution

I don't normally make New Year's resolutions because if you want to do something you may as well just do it. That said, I went on a bit of a fabric spree after the New Year and have made a resolution not to buy any more fabric for at least six months. These are the last pieces of fabric I'm going to buy for a while. 

All of the fabric pieces are vintage from the Last Chintz. This cotton is probably going to be turned into a wiggle dress. 

 I love the mod pattern on this one. It will be perfect for a 1960's style mini dress.

There's only about a metre of this one. I can probably squeeze a wee blouse out of it. Maybe a back button one because, even though they are a pain to get done up, I love them. 

I wasn't 100% sure about this one. At first I thought it was kind of 40's, but then I thought it might be a bit too 80's. I'm still not really sold on it but it was only $5 for 3 metres. It will probably be turned into a dress because I really only sew and wear dresses.

Leather, Plastic and Flowers

My new camera finally arrived. I have been taking pictures of stuff around the house all day.

My ever expanding collection of bakelite bangles.



A new pair of vintage gloves I bought at Ferry Antiques. It's a co-operative shop with different sellers so there's loads of amazing things. I love antique shops that are chock-a-block with stuff.


Fabric I'm using to sew a 60s style dress.

Stash reHash

On Sunday I went to the second Stash reHash fabric market. I managed to get some lovely fabric and some vintage buttons, all for about $25. Since I have used much of my stash fabric over the past few months I needed to stock up so I can make some more winter appropriate things for Me-Made-May. While I was there I also ran into the fabulous Helga von Trollop, who managed to score some great fabric too .
Now I better go and do some sewing if I'm going to have enough clothes to wear in May.
