I found very little to interest me, until I clicked on a set of Rayon Shirtings. And realized that the prints looks very familiar. As in I-know-I've-seen-this-in-a-vintage-catalog familiar. Squee!
So I have four yards of this on its way to me! I love red, but have none of it in my vintage wardrobe.
Plus two more yards of the navy colorway, for a blouse.
And then on a whim, I got pretty much the last of this printed voile, thinking it looked somewhat 30s. Boo hiss, or cheer? And if cheer, what on earth should I do with it? :)
