Antique linens

I was telling some of you about this idea to use some antique linens that don't quite fit any of my tables. I love the idea of actually having a piece that I would use instead of a drawer full of linens that I think about using. Now I have an excuse to search thrift stores and antique shops for some vintage sheets to add to the runner to remind me of my grandmothers. And then I'll add Dave's grandma's linens as well. Hold me to this project, please! For now, I'm posting this upcycled table runner here and can add it to my "to do" list for the river.

Bags, bags, bags

Me and bags... can't dream about them enough! But alas, another summer is half gone and I haven't been sewing. So, I'm probably going to start posting again to help get me inspired.

I love these little first aid bags for diaper bags or backpacks at Busch Gardens. Why so specific there? Well, we had an incident on our last amusement park trip and see, Logan doesn't like just ANY bandaid-- it has to be one he has picked out. Familiar? Oh, and my nephew needs to carry an epipen, so I like those, too.

Perhaps I will just buy them instead of adding them to my ever growing list for sewing, but am passing on Pillow Sew Cute's creative Etsy shop for us to ooohhh and ahhhh.
