It is amazing what ones finds when one puts her mind to cleaning her studio....
Besides a bin full of children's books and assorted paper ephemera that had been in storage and is now being readied for Etsy, I found a bag of vintage linens and silverware I bought who knows when.

These are sheer, chiffon-y fabrics probably from the 70s . I'd love to make some tops or skirts from them. Anyone have any really easy patterns to use?
When at the thrift store, I have the most fun digging through mismatched flatware looking for the good stuff.
This pretty pair are a small fork and knife. I was so hoping to find the matching spoon but didn't.
To make room for all the books I now have to upload to Etsy, I've moved quite a bit to the "Now Half Off" section of my store. Go look for some really good deals!

Julie, what size do you wear, maybe I can send you some patterns I will never use. I love the eyelets, those are so cool. Maybe a trade? myrayeretsky@sbcglobal.net or www.adventuresbabysewing.blogspot.com
Nice things to find!
Simplicity 3835 (Built by Wendy/Built by You) is a nice blouse pattern. If those chiffons are really sheer, you could make the 3835 top and wear a camisole under it.
I know you said you wanted to make a blouse, but I love using this kind of fabric for pajamas. I've used New Look 6160 for this (a basic sleeveless top and drawstring pants) and I LOVE them. I'm a big fan of polyester. Especially the old stuff.
