Saturday's Thrifty Material

Another major score at the thrift store and yard sales. Saturday's take came in the form of material - mainly bed sheet sets and pretty patterned skirts to overhaul and reassign to apron duty. Hopefully, I'm looking at 8-10+ etsy-worthy aprons to come out of it all ... So, needless to say, It's going to be a busy week(s) for me!!!

Butter yellow california king size flat and fitted sheet set, butter yellow gingham sheet set with flat/fitted and 2 -4 matching gingham pillowcases. Also a set of white valances with beautiful cut-out work and 2 more flowery pillowcases. (it's a shame we don't have our king size bed up - the solid yellow ones would be soooo comfy on it).

here's a happy, madras tablecloth and 13 matching napkins - I'm going to have fun piecing those napkins into an apron!! LOL ... and the other is a white flat, twin sheet with matching flowery pillowcase.


I'm reeally excited about working these into an apron. I love the colors, and the dots/stripes/and solid fabrics combo is going to be soooo awesome together. There are two skirts and a scarf.
Two more aprons out of these in pink, black, white colors. There are actually 4 skirts here altogether - but the solid hot pink and the solid black ones will be used for both the print fabric as well as the pink/black one with the embroidered flowers on it. The solid pink one has beaded flowers on the hem too. Cute!!


Two more skirts in the blues family ... I'm not sure what I'm doing with either of these off-hand .. I definitely need co-ordinating colors to go with them. But I LOVE the paisley one - it's velvety too, so it feels really nice. :)

And two great flowery Hawaiin print skirts for two more aprons-to-be. I'm wishing I had a pink bed sheet to go with these ... but I know I have plenty of buttery yellow and/or white (unless I find something else before I start in on these)


I'll post the aprons that get created from these. Gonna be fun!!
