| I've been stitching lots of vintage buttons onto sheet music (and a lace doily) today...Always a popular buy with many of the customers to Nostalgia at No.1. |
 |
| I also made another bag, this time with short carrying handles. |
 |
| Made from hand woolwork embroidered linen and wonderful vintage floral fabric. Fastens with a fabric loop and Deco button. |
 |
| I added a toile wallpaper to the top and the door panels. |
 |
| I've been sewing too, of course... :) |
 |
| I had just enough of this fabulous vintage fabric to make the little bag above and a cushion. The fabric is called Meadowsweet and is a Colleen Farr design. |
 |
| I think its pretty awesome! |
 |
| I made another cushion from a beautiful vintage hand embroidery... |
 |
| And I used a c1940's linen for the reverse. |
 |
| I had a play with some glue too. I used old Victorian photos and added embellishments to them and hung them from old metal handbag clasps... |
 |
| My final creations for this week are several lavender-filled hearts..of the elongated variety! |
 |
| I used some precious scraps of antique French fabrics and stitched fragments of lace and vintage buttons to finish. |
 |
| These will be coming with me to the fair tomorrow. |
 As will this little floral arrangement! |
| Have a lovely weekend, Niki x |
 |
| I'll be attending The Vintage Cotswold's Fair on Saturday, showcasing some of my handmade rag dolls, which I'll preview on my main blog tomorrow. |
 |
| This little wooden box was in need of a makeover... |
 |
| I painted it and added a pad of antique fabric in the recess. This and other one-off treasures will joining the rag dolls on my stand. Hope to see you there if you can make it, Niki x |
 |
| Two more handmade cushions to add to the pile for sale at the shop... |
 |
