I’m very excited to announce today that I have a new writer here on True Up. I became acquainted with Kim Steckler through our shared love obsession with vintage fabric, which led to me interviewing her as part of last year’s Vintage Fabric Collector Series. Kim has agreed to contribute on a regular basis over [...]
{kimmymade} wraps up her two-week run as guest curator with this (sold out) strawberry print from A Vintage Touch on Etsy. Thanks so much Kim S. — we adored your selections — come back any time! — eds.
These punchy-fun yellow strawberries have {kimmymade} wishing she had more than a mere remnant of this print in her collection.
In this atypical colorway, strawberries and daisies once again go hand-in-hand. From the collection of {kimmymade}.
Wonderfully fun 70s print that features a combination of three classic motifs (strawberries, daisies, and butterflies) with one of the era’s most popular color combos (navy and red). From the collection of KitschDesigns on Flickr.

I believe you’ve met Kim Steckler of {kimmymade} around these parts before? I show fabrics from her enormous and amazing vintage collection often on the Daily Swatch — it seems like she and I have the same tastes and no matter what theme I pick, she always has a handful of prints that exemplify it [...]
Now here’s something you don’t see often — a diamond brick repeat. They are two colorways of the same feedsack, from the collection of kimmymade (shop) on Flickr. I should have covered brick repeats right after half-drops, since they are so similar. If you imagine a perfect grid, in a half-drop alternating columns are staggered [...]
Wrapping up this week of tossed prints, here’s a prototypical tossed novelty print — and a super sweet valentine-y one at that, from the collection of kimmymade (blog | shop) on Flickr.
