My grandma gave me a bunch of her old bed sheets and I’ve been making clothes pin bags, head bands, clothes pin aprons, phone pillows, camera straps, crochet hook cases etc. I love their patterns and colors

Hi Lara
There are many places to get older/vintage sheets…but of course it requires a little leg work. Garage sales and estate sales, as well as thrift shops are great places to source older sheets. Some might be faded, but if you are crafting with them, fading is more forgiving. Etsy and eBay are our other go-to sources for vintage sheets in more pristine condition. We’ve found deadstock (aka “still unopened in package”) sheets! Good luck!

I do not even sew, but have a great love of all things vintage. I am staying with my mother, who is now 70, and I do not believe she has disposed of a single thing in her entire 70 years, including all that belonged to several “sets” of grandparents. My grandmother sewed everything and I recall her making us “prairie” dresses, as we loved “Little House on the Prairier” when we were young, which I believe she made from old sheets, as well. Viewing this lovely “Pin” creates a desire to sew and see life brought to these items that once lived many lives before us. Bravo! How wonderful, thank you! I am smiling at beautiful memories, and your lovely handiworks! I want to be like you when I “grow up”, which may not happen until I am 70, as I am past 50 now and have not yet started to sew but I am inspired!
