Vintage Curtains to Cushions

I've brought new life to the vintage 1960's curtains that I found one weekend whilst garage saleing.

Here's a pic of the first version of the cushion. What do you think?
Just ignore the fact that it's upside down!!! I just realised!!!

Learn to Sew Lace Up Cards are here!!!!

Oh my giddy me, they are here. The lovely postman delivered the eagerly awaited big box all the way from the USA this morning. Boxes and boxes of sweet vintagey Learn to Sew Lace Up Cards by Moda.

Each kit, either Christmas themed or vintage animals, has six cards with pre-punched holes, two extremely blunt plastic needles and yarn. These kits are great for children to have fun whilst developing valuable skills such as hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills and concentration skills.

All available in the Silly Gilly store now!! Why not get organised for Christmas early!!??

The Stash Part 2 or otherwise entitled I Don't Like Cats

Here are three of my absolute favourites from my current stash.

They are pieces that I paid more for than I normally would for fabric.
They are pieces that I feel such hesitation and trepidation when merely thinking about cutting them, that it borderlines on the ridiculous.

First up, and with an explanation for this posts' title, is a print called Kitty Kids by Michael Miller. Unfortunately this fabric is now out of print so I feel lucky to have some.
I personally don't like cats (no offense, but it's a long story you'd only hear if you asked me in person) but I find this print so utterly sweet. It's the girls' expressions and the retro styling I think.

Next we have another Michael Miller out of print fabric title Spring Showers. So retro, so happy, so girly....

And lucky last, here is Blossom Belles by Michael Miller (anyone seeing a trend here???), another out of print fabric that I have used for a smock for the Silly Gilly store very hesitantly. But boy, did that smock rock!!
