thrifty spoils

This is the fabric I bought at a garage sale today. It has Peter Rabbit, Benjamin Bunny, Flopsy Mopsy Cottontail, and carrots all over it. The garage sale was located much farther than we thought, but my sister and I had fun digging around looking for things to buy, basically to make the trip worthwhile. She bought a bunch of scrapbooking stuff, and I came away with the awesome fabric above, a vintage pattern for an empire cut dress, and a bag of ribbon.

Yesterday, I also went out to a garage sale and thrift store with my mom and came away with some cool items. I bought a couple pillow cases for lining in purses or something, plus a bag of nice metal-toothed zippers for cheap, and a skirt I'm going to mod to fit me (it's only a size too big).

I used the pinker today, and as soon as I finished, I proclaimed that it is the coolest sewing thing I've ever bought. I pinked the edges of the rabbit fabric before I wash it to prevent unraveling.

I can only imagine how much better it will make everything from here on out. ♥
