It was not always so; many will remember the mood boards we created from cut out magazine bits for inspiration whenever we wanted to create something else.
I was gifted a fabulous vintage sewing basket for my birthday this week & amongst the things in the basket was a selection of fabrics, all pinned together.
We both decided that the fabrics are definitely 1960's / 1970's ....
We thought the orange / yellow / green stripes were curtaining with the striped fabric for dining chairs & the bold red furnishings with the gold patterned fabric for curtains in a living room ...
The heavy pink velvet had us stumped - lounge? Dining room ....
What do you make of the colour choices? Do you think we guessed some of them correctly or how would you have used them? A random find that reminded us that Pinterest has not always been the platform of choice.
Thanks for stopping by, I look forward to your opinions on the choices

Pinterest does have it's uses but there's nothing quite like the tactile nature of a find like this, and trying to put together the back story.
ReplyDeleteI agree Maggi - Pinterest is fab, but the actual fabric really helps to make choices
DeleteI have learned more crafting techniques because of Pinterest than any mood board could teach.... I do agree with Maggi, there is nothing like seeing and feeling the product. I spend way too much time looking than doing!
ReplyDeleteYou & me too Lynda - pinterest just has so much inspiration that it is so easy for lots of time to pass browsing all the beautiful things ….
