Have you built up a stash
of treasured vintage prints
from your favourite decades?
Perhaps you love 1960s
bark cloth or 1940s floral
prints, but you’re not sure
how to use up all those small
pieces in your collection.
Fat Quarter Vintage takes
each decade from the 1930s
to the 1970s and suggests
different projects ranging
from draught excluders,
needle cases and aprons to
notebook covers and baby
bibs. Looking for some
last-minute handmade gift
inspiration? There’s over
25 ideas to inspire that will
evoke the style of days gone
by and make gifts that are
truly one-of-a-kind.
