Fabrics.
No fabric is off limits. I found this amazing fabric, a bed sheet. It's a vintage print probably from the 60s / 70s by the company Wamsutta. The great value in this fabric isn't necessarily in the fiber, though it is a good quality. The value comes from the richness of the colors and the extremely high standards of the graphics. The print is a bear motif for a childs room. The combinations of Pink Green and Orange seem extremely fresh. I'm sure with some research I can find out who the graphic designer was for this fabric. I wouldn't be surprised to find out it is Eames or Alexander Girard. In any event it will make a stunning summer dress. Just try and find this fabric anywhere else. Vintage textiles are an excellent resource if you're looking to create something totally original. I also found a Raggedy Anne and Andy print that would have been awesome, but somehow it disappeared into the bailer before I could get to it.
