Some great new things....

So I think I might have mentioned once before that I am new to the whole op-shopping thing. That some of my friends would keel over in shock. But, you know, becoming a little bit enamoured with vintage fabrics means ya kinda have to embrace it. So I thought I'd show you some of my recent op-shop scores..


Aren't they great? A couple of vintage vintage vintage Vogue patterns. I love the suit one. It looks very Audrey Hepburn. Do you think I will if I make it up? I will need a hat to go with it though.... I got 4 of these and they are fantastic. They seem to date back to the late 60's. Hmmm exciting. I can't wait to figure something out for me from these.
A bag full of vintage J & P Coats, Made in Great Britain cottons - on wooden reels. These are fantastic for top stitching with and some beautiful colours.
A couple of pairs of vintage mint condition pillow cases courtesy of the fabulous Vanessa at Retro Age Vintage Fabrics. I won a Sunday giveaway. And we have recently figured out we are part of that scary 6 degrees of separation that exists with everyone in the world.
So pretty good going hey?
