vintage haberdashery
I was so excited to receive this parcel of crochet and lace motifs that I ordered from The Linen Garden. I've got a feeling it won't be the last either, as there are so many beautiful things to buy in Vicky's haberdashery shop.
I'm starting work on some new pieces tomorrow using these lovely bits.
I've also been working on a beaded lace brooch, with a step by step guide on how to make it, which will be featured in a new sewing magazine in November. I was really pleased with the finished brooch, so I hope you like it too.
I couldn't resist this piece of floral fabric, I love the autumnal colours. I'm not quite sure what I'm going to make with it yet, maybe a laundry bag or a cushion for this little chair?

I don't know if it's just me, but I am really fascinated with vintage haberdashery patterns for the designs are quite unique in a way which is perfect fr my style. The floral fabric is beautiful as well as the patterns.
