RubyLemons: I did sew a little bit this summer...
http://rubylemons.blogspot.com/2010/10/i-did-sew-little-bit-this-summer.html
Wednesday, October 6, 2010. I did sew a little bit this summer. I thought I'd have all this time. Here's a top that I started for myself in the 70s. It's been cut out all these years, stashed in my closet, and rediscovered this summer during a cleaning binge. Here's the funny part - the fabric was cut out with pattern pieces still intact, but the envelope and instruction sheets were no where to be found. So I winged it. Adorned with the vintage turquoise rick rack, the peter pan collar is sweet. Check ou...

RubyLemons: Just Being Childish!
http://rubylemons.blogspot.com/2013/05/just-being-childish.html
Wednesday, May 15, 2013. Maybe it has something to do with me becoming a new grandma,. But my last four vintage fabric finds have been juvenile prints! I think this first one is the oldest - the look, the feel, the faded fold. For some reason, I want to say 1930s. Could it be? Cupid bear is holding a 30's-green bow and arrow. The girl's eyes seem Betty Boopish to me. Look at the stockings and shoes. 36" width - four yards - cotton. Next is the kitty, sheep, goats, bunnies, ducks. Love the robin's egg blue.

Monday, August 10, 2015. As the old saying goes, "All good things come to those who wait.". It must have been Breaking Dawn part I. Yes - the timing would be right - November 2011. A group of us had made it a date to go to the midnight premieres of the Twilight saga. Movies. A fun girl thing. Only online. So, it was ever-present in my mind that I HAD to get a dozen or so garments ready in order for my shop to have enough inventory, right? And this was taking me for-ev-ver! Enter my friend, Karen, on prem...

RubyLemons: Dumb Daisies and Rusty Gold
http://rubylemons.blogspot.com/2014/09/dumb-daisies-and-rusty-gold.html
Saturday, September 13, 2014. Dumb Daisies and Rusty Gold. As the growing season comes to an end, I want to share a little garden project and thrift victory from the spring/summer. A couple of years ago, I found this funky mid century plant stand at my favorite thrift store, Bethesda, near my sister's place in Horicon. It was half off day, so it was only $2.50 - my kind of deal! Here's some rusty iron that's been in my garden for many years. Is that a treble clef? Some spray paint and the job was done.
