Not one to shell out $$$$ on reproduction textiles for my silly hobby*, I've acquired some knowledge about what a fabric needs in order to look historically accurate. I'll share some of that knowledge with you today in a piecemeal and disorganized fashion while heading to the thrift store and getting some cool stuff. And I light things on fire. It's a vlog!
