Vintage Inspired Fabric

Tomorrow I am going to stock up on more linen pillow cases at my favorite thrift store. A dollar buys me about 5 of these babies so....many new shirts blouses on the horizon.

Also, I began work on that poly/sheer 'mid-life-crisis' print top (lets call it a 'blouse' or 'shell' from now on). Turns out the print/color is actually pretty...okay. Here's the downside: Slippery, Sewing machine needle ripples the weave, Inability to create bias tape (without the maker) due to poor iron response, Difficult to cut (probably need weights). The upside is the shirt blouse I created - sans bias tape - is actually really nice and the inverted pleat really suits the drape of the fabric. I hope to find some dark cotton or linen to use as bias tape for it.

Pictures later.
