I am in love...

with Jane Foster. What a woman! This artist is a vintage fabric collector and crafter. A screen printer and vintage 1960s illustration collector [everything I love] Take a peek at her blog. She collects vintage picture dominos [something I am going to be on the look out for now!] and sews beautiful pillow cushions from mid century and 1960s fabric. le sigh.
She also has an adorable little etsy shop. You can buy these cute little vintage fabric cats. Sweet!

summer sewing...

last summer I used this tutorial for making a market bag from a pillow case. This summer, after realizing that I never used it, I wanted to turn it into something else. I had this ugly little green pillow on my guest bed for ages. Lo and behold! I shoved the pillow in the bag and it fit perfectly! So I trimmed off the "handles" of the market bag and sewed the pillow right in. 5 minute face lift for a sad, sad looking pillow!
