Who else loves finding sewing items second hand!??

Who else loves finding sewing items second hand!???? 👋🏼 Here’s a few of my more recent vintage finds from the thrift shops!I’m planning to make myself another #roscoeblouse in this green ditsy floral. The fabric is a really soft vintage cotton that I nabbed for only $6!!!I’m filming a thrift shopping video tomorrow, fingers crossed I can find some nifty bits to share with you all!

It’s a super rainy day here today so I’ve pull

It’s a super rainy day here today so I’ve pulled out my quilt coat project! I haven’t had time to work on this in so long, so I’m feeling excited to get this project underway again.After finding a very handy quilt making book second hand I decided to sew my own quilt pattern. I have chosen the sawtooth pattern to work with. I will admit this has been a very long and intense project but it’s been a fun learning experience also. I’m using the @allwellworkshop cardigan coat pattern for this jacket and I’m so excited. The shape is exactly what I want ☺️My book is currently packed away in boxes but when I find it again I’ll share as it’s so insightful. You can see a photo copy I made to help my plan my sizing and colours.I found an old stripe cotton shirt at the thrift shop a while ago. I decided to use this as part of my quilt to add a nice contrast to the shell coloured linen. I then found a beautiful floral quilting cotton from @spotlightstoresI love having clashing prints but I didn’t want to make this coat too crazy with colour.I’ve finished making the back panel of the quilt coat so today I’m going to attach the batting and inner lining and start hand stitching the quilt together.I absolutely adore Sara’s work from @farmandfolk so following her recommendations for thread and needles. I purchased some Olympus Sashiko thread & needles off Etsy. The quality is lovely so I’m excited to start hand sewing.I’ve really struggled to decide what lining fabric to use. After weeks of procrastination I’ve decided to go with the lush linen I hand dyed with avocado pits and skins. It has this scrummy feeling to it that I know will be so comfortable to wear throughout the winter. I didn’t document my dyeing process but I have shared how I prepared my fabric using a soy milk method on my blog if you are keen to learn more...I think I’ll document the remaining of this project and pop what I’ve discovered on my blog. If you’re keen to know more keep an eye out!I would also love to know any helpful quilting tips or tricks you may have in the comments!!!!Quilting is all new to me and it’s so great to learn for others with a love for this craft 🥰
