Vintage Dick and Jane Fabrics

Goodbye, Dick and Jane.

It's been almost 10 years to the day that I excitedly shared right here on this blog about my fond memories of learning to read with Dick and Jane and of the excitement of my just-purchased Dick and Jane fabrics. I used those fabrics and some others I picked up along the way to recover lampshades, make window valances, a camera bag, and refrigerator magnets. I had great plans to make a tote bag. A quilt. A sewing machine cover.

But those great plans never materialized. And times have changed, and so have I. But it's still with a bit of a sad face that I've decided to sell off my expensive vintage Dick and Jane fabrics. 

So goodbye to Dick and Jane and Sally and Spot and Puff. Hopefully one of you will be happy to welcome them into your homes and love them like I did. You can find them for sale in my Etsy store right now. 

Please give them the love they truly deserve.

Hi, I'm Deb, and welcome to my Etsy shop! I'm a former school teacher turned crafter/cruiser/kitten foster parent. On any given day you'll find me doing at least one of those things. (Although the pandemic has put the cruising on hold right now.)

For several years now I've been putting down my thoughts, creating crafting tutorial videos, and telling stories about fostering kittens here on the blog. Lately I've been working at putting some of my most popular YouTube crafting tutorials into a written form. Those are the patterns you'll find here - the ones viewers like the most. These digital patterns come with step-by-step directions, photos, and links to my tutorial videos all in one PDF download.

Check back frequently as I'm adding patterns weekly. With over 100 published crafting videos I still have a lot of PDF digital versions to come!
