New Skirt!


Fabric: An RJR Fabric from the collection "Everything But The Kitchen Sink"
Pattern: The Yard-Sale Wrap Skirt, From the book Weekend Sewing by Heather Ross



I am in love with this fabric. The collection this material stems from seems to be made up of 1930's reproductions. It has created a new love in me for vintage reproduction fabrics.

I just found this pic of what is, I guess, a piece of an RJR reproduction fabric - Amazing right?!?
And this Flickr group, of 30's and 40's vintage reproduction fabric related pics, shows a little more of the goodness I'm talking about.

Just what this mama needs...more fabric to love!
