I have been wanting to make something with oilcloth but have not run across any to buy. This was in fantan in China town. They had some gorgeous prints! It was so hard to choose! I will be making lunch bags and other goodies out of this stuff. I especially like that black and white.
I keep trying to get designer fabrics in town but no one around here seems willing to accomodate what I am looking for. Satin Moon in Victoria just natrually is loaded with this stuff, but luckily I found a source on etsy for a much more reasonable price! I am so excited to get my first order!

Ok, now this fabric has a story. The one on the far left is identical to the fabric my mom used to make my bedroom set out of. Curtains, bedspread, pillows, ruffles sheets... you get the picture. I was surrounded by that stuff! I can remember hating it at one point. Probably had od'd on the stuff! Well a few months ago, I found a double flat sheet in this stuff. I HAD to have it. That fabric could not go to anyone elses home! Then about a week ago I found the far right one as a pillow case in a thrift shop and oddly I felt the same attachment to it and it had to come home with me. Then, this past Sunday we were at Value Village and I found that third colour combination of the same print. Blues and purples. I quickly stuffed it under my arm and didn't put it down except to put it on the counter to pay for it! I think I may make myself a couple of pillow covers for my bed out of this stuff. Not sure what else to do with it! lol. It just has to be mine:)
