🌸🧵 NEW FABRIC ALERT — and this one has all the vintage charm! 🧵🌸

Dear Sweethearts by Sandy Klop of American Jane for Riley Blake Designs has arrived at Millard Sewing Center! ❤️ Riley Blake describes the collection as being inspired by those wonderful vintage fabrics you wish you could have them all — and we can definitely see why.

This collection has such a fun old-school, nostalgic feel with sweet florals, calicos, plaids, stars, dots, pinwheels and even the CUTEST little vintage toy prints. 🧸🌼⭐

The colors are just as fun — cheerful reds, blues, greens, yellows and soft pastels that feel like they came straight out of Grandma's fabric stash... in the best possible way! 😍

These would be adorable for:
🧵 Vintage-inspired quilts
🌸 Bags & accessories
🏡 Home décor projects
❤️ Children's quilts
✂️ Or mixing into your stash for that perfect retro touch!

If you love vintage reproduction-style fabrics, colorful prints, or anything with a little nostalgia, you need to come see Dear Sweethearts in person.

📍 Available now at Millard Sewing Center!

Which one in the photos would YOU grab first? 👀 I have a feeling that little vintage toy print is going to get some attention! 🧸🐥
