ticking stripes
for some reason i really like printed ticking stripes, even better than real woven-in ticking stripes. i’m not really sure why, but whenever i see fabric with printed ticking stripes i have to grab it. i picked up many yards of these three a while ago.
i’m using the orange one for my striped sunflower skirt and matching jacket. the patchwork one reminds me of the old Pewter Pot restaurants in massachusetts. they had a 70’s (1970’s and 1770’s!) colonial thing going on. does anyone else remember those? they had giant blueberry muffins that they would slice in half and grill in butter before they served to you. mmm! things taste better grilled in butter!
this one i picked up recently at a thrift store, it was a set of curtains. (will be made into skirts) so cute! especially with the printed denim. and i love all the hearts.
okay, i’m going to go grill a muffin now…
