A Whole big bag of mostly Vintage fabric!!! Oh my goodness i couldnt believe my eyes when i saw it then looked at the price and it was only $7.99!! There is actually a good amount of each not just scraps...there was also a dress(no buttons)and a bag with cut outs in it already now just to figure out what the previous owners intentions were or to make it my own :)

the dress...not sure what to do with this...

The cut outs look like they could be used in a "braid" pattern. I started a little one. I'll see if I can find a link to a pattern for you. I really enjoyed doing that pattern.

echobluff 04-01-2011 07:12 AM

Cha-ching!

kajaza 04-01-2011 07:23 AM

That would be great! Thank You!!
