vintage fabric; i mean, lots of vintage fabric!

it was an amazing morning.  my mother-in-law's best friend took us to her mom's basement to look through old fabric. we didn't know what to expect. when we turned the corner and saw the old-school sewing machines and the largest fabric cutting table i had ever seen, it became clear that we were in for a treat. we had heard there was a lot of fabric, but we had no idea what we would really find in that dark corner of chicopee.  what was there? gorgeous bolts and samples of vintage fabrics from the '50s-'80s. bright, inspiring colors and patterns. all sorts of prints.

our heads were spinning with ideas of all the great things we could do with these fabulous materials, like this.  yours will be too!
