I found this fabric whilst on holiday in Brisbane back in January. It is vintage and so enticing that all my friends wanted something made out of it. Unfortunately the lady who sent this to the oppy didn't buy enough in the first place so I have only been able to make three items with it. All I have left is a little 10 centimetre square. So sad!
The last useable piece went into this kitschy folder for a friend who loves vintage. Some of the work is not very well done but she is the sort who will not mind but will rather be thankful for the thought. It is great to have friends like that.
Lovely Great that you could use every last bit. And also great that you don't cave to perfectionism but give things away even when they're not all they could be.
ReplyDeleteThis is so fantastic, what a great idea, think I'll have to put an order in! I know the person who received this folder thinks it's amazing! Happy sewing!
ReplyDeleteOh I feel your pain! I have the smallest scraps left of my favorite vintage pieces. You have used the fabric very well xox
ReplyDeleteIt is so kitschy and so lovely! What a wonderful folder to receive!
ReplyDeleteI too, am someone that can't bear to cut up such gorgeous vintage-y linens!
Yours is simply beautiful.
I have a stash of very special inherited vintage fabrics. I feel such pressure to make the best use of every last scrap.
ReplyDeleteYou've done yours proud!
Great colours, Im trying to make a folder cover at the moment, never done one before, so if it turns out anything like yours I will be extremly happy! Cheers
ReplyDeleteIt's so lovely! I surely know it will be appreciated! It's gorgeous fabric. I hope you'll find something simalar one day, so you can keep on crafting with it!
ReplyDeleteOoooo such gorgeous fabric ... and so beautifully used - lucky lucky friend ... and as for not quite perfect - it's the slightly wonky that makes handmade so special!
