vintage crafts W V intage Sheets 15 Things to do with Projects | Styling | Photography by Megan Kapple and Erin Shipps e’ve heard that step one to recovery is admitting you have a problem. So, Kan- sas City, we have a problem. We can’t stop buying vintage sheets. From dainty florals to bold graphic prints, we adore these thrifty fabric finds. But, as usual, when things start piling up, we think, What can we possibly do with this many bed sheets? That’s where local blogger Megan Kapple comes in, swooping in rather, like a super heroine donning a flowing cape of patchwork vintage sheet scraps (at least in our minds). In reality, we put her to work sewing her heart out and crafting away for an entire Friday afternoon. What resulted from our afternoon of sweat and tears are 15 easy projects that you can easily do with any fabric, but we favor vintage sheets for their patterns as well as their price. We didn’t spend more than $2 for any of these sheets, which makes the fabric less than $.30/yard, assuming a flat queen sheet is about 7 yards (don’t even try to recreate our math, we’re right-brained people). So go ahead, grab that sheet at the thrift store, estate sale or garage sale, and put it to good use with these quick, simple projects. Then tell us all about it at erin@vintagekcmag.com.
