Vintage Finds, Feedsacks, and Friendship ❤️

If you've ever been curious about the charm and history of feedsack fabrics—or are looking for new inspiration for your  sewing projects—I'd love to invite you to explore my Feedsack Primer Course.
 

This course offers a beautiful blend of history, creativity, and hands-on inspiration pulled straight from my personal archive. Whether you're a maker, collector, or simply love vintage textiles, there's something here for you. With step-by-step guidance, thoughtful commentary, and curated vintage materials, the Feedsack Primer is designed to help you explore these fabrics with fresh eyes and creative confidence.

 

You can preview the course and see what's included before you dive in!

I just got back from one of my favorite antique shows in Petoskey, Michigan—an inspiring event that brings together vintage vendors from across the country twice every summer. If you love handmade and one-of-a-kind finds, it's a true treasure hunt. This time, I found some pretty special pieces like this adorable sock monkey couple and some incredible quilts! My friend Debbie modeled a denim jacket by artist Shari B Green—it features reverse appliquéd vintage needlepoint. (Isn't that clever?!)

 

I've posted a full recap—with lots more photos—inside my private Facebook group, Vintage Made Modern.

But the group is more than just a place to see what I'm up to…

 

It's a growing community of over 5,300 members who love vintage textiles, handmade treasures, and sharing inspiration. We talk about creative finds, post favorite pieces from our collections, and support one another in preserving the stories stitched into fabric, fashion, and home.

 

With the upcoming release of Love You to Pieces: A Gift of Friendship, I'll also be sharing exclusive behind-the-scenes content in the group each week—including some of the vintage rag dolls, fabric toys, and patchwork that are inspiring the book.

 

Come take a peek and share your own favorite finds too!

This first giveaway (winner announced on Friday, July 18th!) features a coral Oliso M3Pro project iron—Sunshine Polly's favorite color! She's one of the cloth doll characters featured in the book, and you can meet her here in my recent blog post.
 

To be automatically entered in the giveaways, just sign up for the Prelaunch Festivities email newsletter. You'll also get sneak peeks, early access, and behind-the-scenes stories as we count down to launch.
 

Thanks for being part of this journey—I can't wait to share more with you soon.

XO,
Amy
