Sew La Ti Embroidery [Search results for thrifting] 

I continue to go thrifting on Mondays and I keep finding awesome things. Yesterday it was a never been used vintage towel and the cutest tablecloth. I got all excited when I saw the tablecloth, I love the big flowers and the colors.

Here are some recent fabric purchases. I snatched up some of Anna Maria Horner's innocent crush, I love, love, love the star burst print. Those bird cages are from JoAnn's.
I have been having a crush on gingham lately and found the grey and tangerine colors and had to have it.

Yes, I know it's Halloween tomorrow, but these ornaments are one of the projects I have been working on.

I had to share them because I think they are so stinking cute. They are super simple to make too, I just sandwiched two layers of felt in between fabric, sewed it all together with the hang string sandwiched in the middle and the bird I first fused it on then I hand stitched around it. Ta-da your finished!

I also had to share what the lace thrifting fairies guided me to. I love all of it. I had the idea when I was looking through all of it to make a lace skirt. I think I would just start by making a white skirt and then covering the entire thing with all different lace, I think it would be so pretty.
If I don't post tomorrow, Happy Halloween!

The past month or so I have been running around like a crazy person (who am I kidding, I am a crazy person) getting ready for all my shows, I am finally done, I still have one more show on the 10th and 11th, but I am pretty much done getting ready for it. After getting past this weekend doing two shows at the same time, I finally feel like I can breath again. I usually am ready for Christmas by now, but I haven't really done much yet. I now have time to work on things for our handmade Christmas, but is that what I worked on tonight? Nope. This awesome vintage coat that I thrifted for $8 is what I played around with, started out a really cool blue grey coat.

Ended up an even more awesome coat that I think looks like something that would cost $250 at Anthropologie, but everything was thrifted, and probably cost me less than $15 total, couldn't really say, all the lace and doilies came from my stash. (I have quite an impressive lace stash if I do say so myself, thanks to thrifting.)
