Vintage Lilly Pulitzer Fabric Prints

I've been trying to organize my vintage Lilly fabric. I work with it a lot so it's kind of a constant chore on my list of things-to-do.  It tends to fall towards the bottom because it's always a pretty long list (I blame procrastination Pinterest).

At the moment I have about 300 vintage prints in my collection (1959-84).  I'm always adding 'new' prints because I search endlessly for vintage Lilly fabric. Below are some favorites that I wanted to share with you. You might notice that eight out of the ten prints are by Suzie Zuzek, she was one talented artist.

The patterns below aren't in any specific order, they're just fun examples.

Vintage Lilly Pulitzer Fabric Pincushions

Oh hi, remember me? Yes, it's been far too long.  But I'm here and all motivated to blog and share because Pinterest has my creative side in an uproar.  Seriously, the project list is getting a little ridiculous.  I spent yesterday afternoon blowing on eggs so the girls can dye them and insert secret messages inside to send to their cousin as an Easter gift. Yes, I realize that Easter is more than a month away. Thank you Pinterest.  Meanwhile the laundry (or as we call it: 'Mt. Apparel'*) continues to reach new altitudes and I'm completely fine with it. Happiness is really all about acceptance.  Keeping that in mind...

Today I made these little pincushions.  Lately I've been obsessed with them.  Perhaps because I've been sewing more often these days.  Regardless, I got busy while the girls were at school and here are the results.  I added them to the etsy shop.

They are all made with vintage Lilly Pulitzer fabric.  Most of the patterns were designed by Suzie Zuzek.  One was designed by Amy dePoo (Suzie's daughter) and another by Peter Pell (he was a co-owner of Key West Hand Print Fabrics and did Lilly's print coloration for many years).
