I've been thrifting vintage sheets for the last few years and use my favorites in our home - on beds, in our kitchen, on DIY projects - and have continued to buy them thinking I'd sell quilt kits again.
Well, I took a quick poll on Twitter earlier this summer asking if people would be more interested in quilt kits, fat quarters, or whole sheets and the overwhelming majority requested whole sheets. Thus, a WHOLLY SHEET sale!
Vintage sheets provide tons of fabric for craft projects, allow for impromptu couch forts, and can be mixed-n-matched for pretty beds. I have used them in patchwork quilts, for quilt backings, cloth napkins, curtains, dresses for Ruby, and even turned them into crib sheets.
I've taken special care to only offer vintage sheets in the best condition and the prettiest patterns. I've got plenty of florals but I've also included stripes, gingham, and geometric prints in blues, browns, and greens for those with little men in their life. Sheets range from Twin to Queen with a King or two thrown in the mix, as well as pillow cases. Some are sets but each will be listed separately for mix-n-match purposes.
THE STASH will be hosted through Big Cartel and made available on Thursday evening at 7:00 p.m. CST.
I apologize in advance for not being able to reserve or hold items for anyone. It's just too complicated for one mama to manage without mistakes happening left and right.
International orders are welcome. All items have been washed and stored in plastic tubs and come from a smoke-free home. As with all vintage, imperfections are possible and are noted and priced accordingly. I've taken great care to ensure that I'm sending out only the best product at the fairest prices.
There's already been some buzz on Twitter and I want you to know I appreciate your enthusiasm! See you on Thursday, August 4th, at 7:00 p.m. CST at THE STASH!
xo,
Rachel
Aw yeah! I'm setting a reminder on my phone right now. Can't wait!

Yes, i've been waiting for the stash since your twitter poll :)
I've just got one question: I would really like to make myself pyjama pants (my next diy project), is there fabric there that is suitable for that?

I can't wait!! Every time I go to the thrift store I look for sheets but don't find the right size or pattern. I just bought a mustard color comforter on sale and wanted some vintage sheets to add a little pattern. This is so exciting.

The pink and avocado daisies take me back to sheets we had when I was little. Unfortunately we unloaded a huge stack of "old" sheets at my family home in Mexico and they are now not retrievable. What I would give to have them all back!

Ooh! So exciting! I just made my first ever dress out of an old sheet and I've got a flannel one to turn into baby toys on the top of my pile right now. Nice vintage sheets are really hard to find hereabouts so I'm looking forward to checking these ones out!
