I collect/sew with vintage fabrics and would be interested in purchasing! I like 80’s novelty(Care Bears, Rainbow Brite, Strawberry Shortcake, etc), and vintage fabrics in pastel/rainbow, fruits(strawberry/cherry/similar), seersucker, cotton/sheer with raised floral patterns, or anything really pretty and feminine. Please send me a message if you might have something!
