Friday's Favorite Fabric Finds

Happy Friday, Friends!  I have a lovely customer in California that makes the most unique projects out of all sorts of vintage fabrics.  She has recently expanded her line to include PJ bottoms and maxi-dresses, and she asked if I had any uncut sheets.  Do I??  These are just a few of the ones I thought she might like.  Hopefully we'll get to see some of these reincarnated :)

How have you been?  What is new in your world?  Please do leave me a comment.  I'm so glad you're here, especially since I have been so absent of late.

Most of you know this is a time of transition for me and Sophie, and while we are very happy with our new location, things get crazy at times.  I try to stay focused on the "here and now", but I admit that I often think too far ahead and get myself in a dither.  Working on keeping the dithering to a minimum, y'know?

Happy Friday, friends!  I have concluded that I have FAR too many pillowcases to list them individually.  So, I shall be offering them in sets of 3 based on color family or style.  Enjoy the trios... these will be in sosovintage shortly!

Do you have any fun weekend events lined up?  We do!  We're planning to go to Yellow Hill Farm to pick our own blackberries, raspberries and flowers!  You can check out their website right HERE... fingers crossed for a fruitful day.  Hehe, couldn't resist ;)

There is a nip in the air these days- especially in the evenings and mornings.  Fall comes earlier here than in Virginia, and as you can probably guess, I couldn't be more excited to start a new season.  I am ready to put summer 2013 behind me! 

~*~

I've been holding on to these beautiful sheets, waiting for the perfect time to introduce them.  That time is now!  Look for these in sosovintage this weekend... if someone doesn't snatch them up from facebook first :)

Getting back into the swing of things over here with some new beautiful blues!  I have loads of fabrics and pillowcases to list, so if you're looking for a special color- just ask.  ;)

Three out of five of this week's pretties are new to me.  How many are new to you?  These roses, daisies, and geraniums are perfect for the weather we're having this week.  It has been in the 90s and feels like August instead of May!!  Wishing you all a happy, refreshing weekend :)

It's that time of year when everything in the forest is wet and green.  These five *new* fabrics are an ode to springtime... look for them in sosovintage soon!

Wednesday's Works

~*~

I had a little lull in orders, so I finished my pretty robin's egg rug.  She is SO soft, and a great size- measuring in at 42" long and 28" wide.  Keep or sell, keep or sell?

~*~

~*~

I've also been putting these pretty fabrics together for their debut in sosovintage.  Their pretty spring colors and flowers soothe the soul.

~*~

How about you?  Any works in progress to share?

Just a wee sneak peek of the beautiful blues coming to sosovintage next week!

I don't know about you, but I could sure use some sunshine!  These pretty yellow fabrics will be hitting the sosovintage shelves soon.  Most will have yardage available, and I am going to offer this as a discounted bundle as well.  Happy weekend, my friends!

Feeling rather delicate this week, so I thought I would share some fabrics that express this perfectly.  The colors and details of these are just beautiful!  Look for them in sosovintage soon :)

Happy March!  In honor of the new month, I have some new vintage fabrics in greens, blues and yellows to share:

~*~

~*~

The green stripe is 100% cotton, and the rest are 50/50.  Most of these are first time sosovintage acquisitions, and I'm always excited to add some freshness to the shop shelves.

~*~

Here's hoping this month brings warm weather, blue skies and happy days to us all :)

This week's fabrics feature unique patterns and bold colors!  The one on the far left has a blue honeycomb pattern, and the one with the butterfly has blue paisleys scattered throughout.  I figured these were just the ones to post to help us get though this "limbo" time.  It isn't winter and it isn't spring.  We're tired of cold weather and ready for the warmth and change of a new season.  Or is that just me?

~*~

This week's treasure post is postponed until this weekend.  Sophie and the other "quality students" from each grade level were honored in a special breakfast this morning.  I need to go through my pictures to see if I got any that are not blurry.  It was a lovely occasion, and really nice of the teachers and staff to do such a nice job of rewarding these kids for their daily efforts.  We could all use more of that, in my opinion!

It's been a warm and sunny day today, and I couldn't resist bundling up these new yellow fabrics to share!

These fat quarters will be sold at a discount for the set ($10), or can be purchased individually for $2.50.

~*~

How's the weather where you live?  It was 60 degrees today, yet they are calling for light snow flurries overnight.  Late winter in Virginia is always crazy!

It has been a blue kind of week around here.  These blue fabrics are of the beautiful variety, though!

The second one down is 100% cotton- one of the prettiest striped fabrics I've seen.  I found both the flat and fitted sheets of that one, so there is plenty to go around.  The last one is an all time favorite.  I've been fortunate to find it several times, and it always brings a smile to my face.

~*~

We're in for a cold and windy weekend, but the blizzard pounding the northeast has left us alone.  For that we are thankful!  Wishing all of our New England people well during this crazy weather.

Welcome, February!  I am always so very happy to see this time of year arrive.  In honor of the month of love, here are a few pretties in shades of pinks and purples:

~*~

~*~

There ARE purple dots in the last one, but they might be hard to see :)

~*~

Here's wishing you a fabulous weekend!  No big plans around here except to continue the decluttering efforts and watch the Superbowl on Sunday.  How about you?

Thursday's Treasure

It's our lucky week!  We have yet another customer's wonderful work to drool over.  Nicole from Auli'i Baby has created baby dresses with the vintage fabric she purchased from sosovintage!

~*~

~*~

This sweet pink one is size 18 months.

~*~

And the blue one is 12 months.  Where were these cuties when my girl was a little peanut?!

~*~

Nicole is from Waimea, Hawaii, and the word "auli'i" in her shop name is Hawaiian for cute, dainty, and exquisite.  One step into her shop, and you'll see creations that make you think exactly those things!  Best of all, Nicole offers ready made AND custom baby dresses that are super affordable.   Happy shopping!

Happy Friday!  It's been one crazy week, and it will be followed by another.  It seems the school schedule is changing by the minute due to weather and teacher workdays at the end of the quarter.  Just trying to go with the flow over here, and keep up with my crochet orders. 

~*~

The major USPS 2013 price hike goes into effect 1/27, and it is throwing a monkey wrench into my plans for the weekend.  I need to find the best way to update over 800 listings with accurate shipping prices- and fast.  International shipping is going up over 100% to many countries!  Arghh.

~*~

Let's have some sweet cottage goodness to calm things down, shall we?

~*~

I can't pick a favorite this week!  The rose one is made all the sweeter with the dots, isn't it?  I've had the pink, yellow and aqua colorways of the middle sheet, but this pretty green is new to me.  And the elephants?  Who can pass up pink elephants?

~*~

 If you're looking for me this weekend, I'll be chained to my computer.  How about you?

It's been a dreary week in general, but the sun is shining today and who doesn't love a bold, bright vintage fabric?  Check out these loud lovelies :

The top fabric is actually from a homemade duvet cover, and it looks to be 100% cotton.  I have the middle one in the blue/green and pink colorways, so it's nice to have this one for the collection.  This last one is flaming hot and just like new.

~*~

~*~

Also, I've put together another January bundle of fat quarters.  Just like the last one, these 10 first quality fabric fat quarters are being offered as a set at 20% off the single fq price.  I have February's first bundle just about ready to go, too.  Pinks and reds and purples... yum!

~*~

We have a holiday weekend here in the US, so no school for Sophie on Monday.  No big plans, either.  How about you?  Anything special on your weekend agenda?

Friday's Favorite Fabric Finds...Yes!

A big, big thank you going out to Kiley for her html trick to uploading pictures.  I wonder if it will be this way from now on?  In any case, here are the new goods coming to the soso-shelves soon:

~*~

I've actually had 2 of these three fabrics before, but it's been awhile.  The gold floral in the middle also looks vaguely familiar- I think I had it in a different colorway.  Maybe blue?  Or green?  Not sure, but they are all lovely and I have bunches if you have a big project in mind.

~*~

~*~

AND!  Look at this sweet bundle of fat quarters just waiting for a new owner!  I've decided to make bundles of the month for sosovintage, and I hope they are a success.  For January, I'm going with the color blue.  This first bundle will be a "one of a kind" because it includes a couple of fabrics that I no longer have available.  It is first quality fabric being sold as a set (no substitutions) for 20% off the price of individual fats.  No further discounts apply to this purchase.  Still, 10 for $20 with just $5 US shipping... can't beat that, right?  I can tell I'm going to love making these combos.  I have other ideas in the works, and would love to hear any requests you fabric lovers may have :)

One last fabric finds post of 2012...*sniff*.  No worries, though- as long as there are people who love these fabrics as much as I do, I'll continue to hunt them down!

~*~

~*~

I'm partial to #1 and #4 this week, but the pansies are always a hit, too.  The super saturated gold vine/stripe was a neat find- I have had the blue colorway and it's always cool to see the difference that a palette switch makes.

~*~

Since this is the last fabric post of the year, I'm wondering- what was your favorite sewing project of 2012?  What did you make that had you drooling over your own work?  Or jumping around at the gorgeousness of a finished project?  I'd love to hear the details in the comments.  Knowing what all of you talented sewing people can do keeps my imagination soaring :)
