Material Girl

Mum had scored some wonderful pieces of vintage thrifted material for me.

There are three pieces of upholstery weight fabric and two pieces of lovely navy and white cotton.  I particularly like the pink circles fabric and the Charles Rennie Mackintosh print in red and gold.  I'm not sure what to do with these treasures but no doubt a bag or two will be made to begin with. 

I think I'm correct in saying that mum got all these pieces of fabric from the local Salvation Army charity shop.  We called in there this morning and I managed to score a bag load of wonderful items.

There are two excellent vintage pillow cases - probably destined to be the lining in a couple of bags.  Four balls of the most lovely shade of eau de nil green mohair wool - probably will end up as a few knitted cloche-style hats for the winter.  Four balls of mauve / pink variegated pure cotton chenille wool - not sure what that will become.  A huge pile of new tapestry wools - probably will go on to ebay, and some wonderful linen fabric that they were wrapped in which I will keep for myself.  There is an unopened pack of 2 inch wide bias binding in mauve, two tiny blue flower-shaped buttons, two 'cover with your own fabric' buttons, and finally a reel of orange thread.  The total cost for this little haul - £2.60!!  Absolute result.
