Now of course
I'll have to have some of all of it. The sewing machines would make great curtains for a quilt studio and I'm getting tired of the current curtains. Probably take alot of fabric though because I have 7 very large windows in there. Going to check it out though. Thanks for posting those pictures.

Found the fabric on Ebay but at $8.95 a yard I'll have to live with the curtains I have. Here is the link if anyone is interested.

I made a Featherweight cover from this fabric and love it! Even though it's no longer being manufactured, there are many shops that still have stock. I usually use that 200+ Quilt Shops search site or the FabShopHop search for fabric that I'm having trouble finding.
What are you going to make from your fabric??

I have lots of them if anyone want them.
I would do a BQ or similar with them.

Now... just need to think up some creative uses for them!

Bonnie, I love sewing fabric too, but like you, I'm not always sure what to do with it. I recently looked at the the Mr. Sew fabric in my quilt shop; almost bought some, but decided against it not knowing how I would use it. Then at quilt guild, one of my friends showed me an adorable tote bag she had made, and I immediately thought of that fabric. So now I'm going back to buy enough to make the tote bag. I'm also making curtains for my sewing room in a different fabric, but one that is sewing related. Another idea I hope to make soon is a vest in the sewing theme.

Yesterday I was to make a sewing machine cover of the vintage machine one. Also have one in similar colors that is notions, dress form and machines so going to make cover for my treadle because I don't set it down inside the cabinet but want too keep off the dust. Just loved the patterns and have no actual sewing room to do a valance.
Tried to think of ideas as I stood in front of fabric then decided to buy it and think later.
