vintage haberdashery - latest buys

As promised here are the lovely fabrics and bits i bought from the fair yesterdaynot just lots of buttons, some cotton and the lovely vintage bag bit...
some great knitting patterns




things to make with felt and great knitted toys - the lion and house are my favourite. Inside the felt book are some great ideas too.

these three books i got together

















some lovely turn of the century lace







50's ribbon








french vintage


































1980's







60's

so there was some of my lovely bits - now what do do with them all? sell them on as they are or make things? i think the 80's would make great kitchen curtains - and the cushion are calling me..ideas?

  1. What a lovely haul!! I think I would end up just keeping it all in a lovely pile and just look at it grinning!! Cushions sound good though - make sure you show us what you create.

  5. Hi Verity!
    Thanks for becoming a follower on my blog! I'm now following you too.
    I love your vintage buys - I also "collect" basically my whole house is one great big collection :-) I have a Picasa album of my collections which you can find through my gallery on my blog. I keep adding photos when time allows.
    I was going to email you but I see that you don't have an email contact on your blogger profile - it's a good idea if you get an email address for your blog account, that way you can enter give-a-ways and also get feedback through your blog. I usually email my thank you to new followers.

    Love the kittens.... too bad I'm way over "downunder"!

    Happy Sewing!
