i busted out the gocco for the first time in years to print our save the dates (by the way a lot of wedding forums abbreviate them to std...why??) anyway, we've been thinking about the save the dates a lot since we jumped back on the wedding train in february, and we're really happy with what we came up with. the fabric pennants are from my vintage fabric stash, and cutting/sewing 400 of them wasn't nearly as bad as i thought it was going to be. i think it is good preparation for the many craft projects to come.
speaking of my vintage fabric stash, on my not-so-recent-actually-it-was-last-august trip to iowa city i went back to my favorite mennonite thrift store and picked up a few pieces to add to the stash. i'm most excited about the larger piece next to the bottom--i love that it looks like feathers on an arrow, and there's enough to make quite a few things with it. sadly the new york vintage fabric scene looks a lot like $25/yard instead of $1/pound, but there's always ebay!
holy crap, woman, you are talented! LOVE the save the date. can't wait to get mine in the mail! you are a maniac for cutting out all of that fabric. dying to see what you come up with for the wedding!
