getting ready
Month: September 2010
…and so to
embroider and sew
lavender bags
I have made these lavender bags in a variety of shapes and sizes. They are made from vintage fabric, handkerchiefs and doilies with trimmings of ribbon, lace and buttons. There are also hand embroidered and appliqued details.
They are ideal as a pretty keepsake gifts or wedding favours, posies and gifts to bridesmaids.

making lavender bags & wedding favours
Next month I am exhibiting at the Vintage Chic Wedding Fair and I wanted to make some sample wedding favours to show there. I had also been thinking about making lavender bags out of the various bits of vintage fabric, lace and ribbons in my collection, so I’ve combined the two. Inspired by the season I have used Autumnal colours and added some hand embroidered and appliqued details.
