'New' Vintage fabric for my curtains

I've been looking for some vintage fabric for my front living room for come time ( crazy given the amount of fabric I already have!) but I wanted something more subtle that the full on vivid retro textiles I use elsewhere. So I was thrilled to find and win on ebay this super, vitually as new, immaculately clean Bevis fabric. We have some redecorating to finish first in this room but I LOVE this fabric.

New Retro Applique Projects!

I've been mulling over designs for 'luxury' retro cushions for a while, featuring my gorgeous vintage fabric and trims with applique using my own drawings. Thought I might share with you the first two that I've started work on. These feature mainlt 70s cottons with floral and scandi themes.

If you fancy suggesting some other motifs I'd be thrilled to hear you ideas!

AudreysCat at Prema Art Centre, Uley, Glos

A couple of weeks ago I was contacted via Facebook by the super folks at Prema Art Centre https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100002137008477 asking if I'd like to have a few of my item offered for sale in their display unit. As you can imagine I was delighted to have my bags, and my Retro ReBorn animals included in their colourful Retro themed display along with these other beautiful items from talented makers.

It's a great Art Centre with a diverse offerings of craft, crafting/arts groups and performances on offer. I have attended a fused glass course, my OH has been on a singing course and been to a few gigs there all great!. In a fabulous location and building, well worth checking out!
