I am calling these guys the Oddballs because I honestly don’t know what category to put them in. They came from an estate sale purchase a couple of years ago, along with a ton of other scraps that could be categorized. The last two gave me fall vibes and the orange made me think of…
I wish I could come by here more often, but with all the quarantined together time with family now I don’t seem to have as many opportunities as I would have imagined at the beginning. As I was going along today, finishing up some work on placemat and napkin sets I had a momentary freak…
I haven’t done one of these in a while and I thought it might be fun to share some of my vintage sheet hoard. I have been collecting and using vintage sheets throughout my home and in my sewing for many years now, but recently I have been unable to cut anything. I don’t know…
Yep, more nursery tweaks for your enjoyment. This one was so simple. I only wanted to show it because I thought it might give hope to those of you out there, like me, that do not really have a budget for redecorating your spaces. Plus, I think it came out really cute! A little Holly Hobbie maybe, but…
This week I just happened upon the Etsy shop, Happy Notions, owned by Nicole Sarvay and found it to be exactly as the name implies – SUPER HAPPY! Nicole sells vintage and reclaimed fabrics and most of what she has available is bright and cheery. Scrap Pack I found myself really drawn to the fun daisy print fat quarters…

Ooh, la la! In keeping with the Valentine’s Day theme I wanted to share these vintage gems that I found through Etsy shop, Alora’s Adorables. This shop is chock full of the chenille bedspreads and fabric cuts in some of the cutest and coolest patterns I have ever seen. Since she has over 300 (yep, that’s…
I thought it only fitting to let you all know about some additions to my Kitsch Designs Etsy shop that fall into the world of sewing and crafts. I recently opened a new store on Etsy called, KD Vintage. This new shop is home to all my vintage treats, leaving room in my original store for handmade items. …
I may or may not have noted here before that I am a list maker. It’s to the point of needing lists to keep up with my lists. And, I often make such a huge and unattainable list of things that I want or need to do, that I end up disappointed in the results…or…
For the latest wardrobe tweak I performed some surgery on one of my old hoodie sweaters. It’s a basic black hoodie with pouch pocket in front and I have gotten a TON of use out of this in the past. I had in mind adding a placket down the front in a contrasting fabric, not only…
