The Loodylady, our Vermont-based source for vintage linens, offers some creative ideas for using her fabrics; all that's required is a sewing machine and some patience. To see more ideas, go to The Textile Trunk; to purchase directly, go to Loodylady on eBay.

I love the stair runner idea--i see them used in pillows and bedding often, but this was a fresh twist.
I purchased several flour bags off of German eBay with beautiful black print and graphics. Plan is to upholster a walnut platform rocker that a German great-grandfather made. The bags are barely wide enough to cover the seat and back, so I am going to have big, exaggerated dbl cording on the sides. Fun to see these photos.
loodylady ROCKS!!!! I love each of the treasures I've bought from her over the years. check her out if you have not already.
