| I made some rings today from Edwardian wooden blocks, printed with letters. Rings are adjustable and are silver plated. |
 |
| Plain vintage suitcase, cheered up with a smattering of hand crocheted doilies. |
 |
| Shop is fully stocked with masses of treasures - Hope to see you soon! ;-)) Have a lovely weekend, Niki x |
 |
| Thought I'd make some coat hanger covers for a change, based on 1930's styles...I was inspired by the shape of the vintage hand embroidery which had once been part of a tablecloth...the design seemed to follow the shape of the hangers... |
 |
| I used C19th French linen for the other side. |
 |
| Any precious scraps of the hand embroidery that was left over, was combined with vintage floral fabrics and used to make lavender filled sachets. |
 |
| A little revamp project was required for this pretty chippy painted chair... |
 |
| It appeared to have had three re-covers in its lifetime, so I stripped the whole lot off and started again... |
 |
| I used a stunning French Scheurer fabric from 1884! |
 |
| A lined basket handmade using a pretty ditsy print vintage lingerie fabric...Lovely for baby essentials. |
 |
| I've put together several vintage gardener gift sets. |
 |
| And in-between times make myself busy using some of my favourite French fabric fragments to make more lavender-filled sachets. Always a great seller at my shop... |
 |
| Two more cushions for my shop's shelves... |
 |
| These were made from a classic Sanderson printed linen. |
 |
| Fasten with fabric ties. (New feather-filled pads inside.) |
 |
| Pretty Lloyd Loom bedroom chair is sold - Thank you! |
 |
I also made a summer bag featuring a vintage hand embroidered crinoline lady in her summer garden. It is combined with a lovely French floral fabric, with a Sanderson cotton for the handles. |
 |
| My final make for today was to cheer up this sweet little collection of vintage handmade doll's furniture. I made a mattress for the bed using C19th French ticking. A pillow and cushion for the stool were created from a rich red striped ticking of the same era. |
 |
| This bright and cheerful sunny Sanderson fabric is one of my favourites...I had just enough left in my supplies to make one cushion... |
 |
| Which I decided to make for our own home for a change... |
 |
| I just kept it simple... Backing it in cheerful gingham to tie in with the other furnishings in our house. |
 |
| Hope you are enjoying the current heatwave. Happy Summer, Niki x |
 |
| I bought a lovely strong willow basket recently, which was a bit plain...So today I made an elasticated fabric liner for it. |
 |
| I used a summery c1930's floral fabric. |
 |
| It would be ideal for storing cutlery, or a selection of jams for the breakfast table. |
 |
| Lots more pictures of my shop on my latest Facebook update. Have a lovely weekend, Niki x |
