I bought some velvet fabric ages ago in ink blue, dusky grey, bottle green and pale silver with the plan to make some soft pin cushions with vintage lace trims. I have only just rediscovered my velvet stash a few weeks ago and finally made the pin cushions and also a collection of clutch bags with beaded lace strips.
I'm really pleased with how they look, perfect for this time of year.
These will all be for sale, plus lots more lovely items at
The OCG Christmas Exhibition held in The Oxfordshire Museum in Woodstock from 17th November - 2nd January.
I've still got lots more to do.... what are you working on at the moment?
the velvet and the lace is a nice combination. I'm trying to make boot cuffs at the moment! hoping they will fit once made. Have a good sunday, Heather x
