I actually have an original sample brochure of most of those prints in your first photo from the "ye olde Calico Cupboard" collection by V.I.P. a division of Cranston Fabrics.<br />Happy sewing!Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02699976513241428705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706760941366031021.post-46599427020790575202012-04-17T18:29:17.877-07:002012-04-17T18:29:17.877-07:00Oh yes Valerie, an apron in calico would be so cut...Oh yes Valerie, an apron in calico would be so cute!

Now, I just don't have the patience I once had. I also loved to use these when I was little to make dresses (or at least what I called dresses- they were always kinda wonky!) for my dolls.KitschKraftshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14067558300261518404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706760941366031021.post-47305640288108317992012-04-17T15:18:04.242-07:002012-04-17T15:18:04.242-07:00Excellent post!!
