I got tired of waffling about feedsack fabric. There's so much cute stuff out there, it's incredibly hard to choose. And this isn't a big-deal project. Remember the WWKD? thing - What Would Katherine Do?  She just does it! And that's how it gets done.

This one has all my favorite colors in it (well, grass green is better than lime green, but oh well), the price was one of the cheapest out there ($7), and it was a hefty piece for a feedsack (34" x 44").  I doubt I'll regret it, while I WILL regret wasting time when it's mid-July and I have nothing done.

 

Sometimes I think it looks 40s, and sometimes I think it looks late-50s-almost-mod-60s.  You know, tepee-shaped motels. :p  Oh, well!

Yay! I love that one too! I think it'll be great for 40's. I can't wait to see how this turns out! :)

Thank you! I have some weird-colored green linen that might end up as part of this, too.

Very cute! Hard to go wrong with feedsack prints, really.

*squints* I see the motel teepees. Heh. :D But still appropriate for '40s, I think.

You'd be surprised, actually. Quite a few of the ones my searched turned up looked distinctly 50s or even 60s to my eye. Maybe they weren't really feedsacks.

If you have to squint to see it, I'm probably okay. ;) I really love the cinnamon pink color, and I've got white-trimmed-with-green canvas peeptoe wedge Keds that will look great.
