Hello my dearies, how are you today? Happy May! I can't believe that we are into May and yet this is my first thrifty post of 2011. Well, if truth be told, there has been distinct lack of thrifting around here lately. Lack of funds, escalating charity shop prices and also near empty charity shops have all been a factor. As has the fact that my house is severely lacking in space to add new finds.
However a few days ago I saw some things that I couldn't resist. Not the ever elusive bark cloth, (where is it all?) but almost as fabulous...
How could I resist such gorgeousness? These pics really don't do it justice...
I would love to make a dress from this but due my lack of sewing skills I'll be lucky to manage a skirt.
There were lots of yummy fabrics but I was very calm and only chose a few that I just couldn't resist...
Please excuse the creases.
And finally something that I have been looking for for a long time, a lovely little patchwork quilt....
Not bad, if I do say so myself.
Thank you for dropping by. If you would to see more thrifty finds pop by and see
Sophie.
