Recently I came upon a little stash of vintage fabrics at the flea market that I completely fell in love with. After admiring them all for a while, I began making things from them. More of the wildflower cushion covers like those i made last year (but this time, backed in new linen), and pouches from the smaller pieces of printed linen.
I'm not sure why I love pieces of vintage fabrics like these so much, but I do. I like to think of them as wild things. They are often one-offs, loved by someone in the past and full of their stories. They evoke memories from childhood. A bit like wildflowers, they pop up now and again and are often only admired by some. You can never really say when you might come across them.
And really, where else can you find those amazing colour-schemes?
