Welcome to all my new followers!
After a busy few weeks with no time for sewing I am getting very fidgety and am therefore hoping to spend some time in here this weekend
having being inspired by these
to work on these WIPs
and make more things in the same sort of style as some of these I've already made
using some of these pretty things
But only after drooling over these French vintage labels
to get me in the mood
to hopefully make more things like those in my Giveaway ending 31st July!
where, if you enter, you will have the chance to win either one of my vintage fabric journals
or a vintage linen peg apron
together with a vintage french fabric bookmark
So please don't forget to enter!
See 11th July post
You have such a lovely collection of bits and pieces! All those ribbons and labels are so pretty. I hope you get the chance to get some sewing done :)
ReplyDeleteI love the provencal fabric prints
ReplyDeleteI'm sure all those pretties will give you the inspiration you need to get some sewing done this weekend. Looking forward to seeing what you make.

I love French General. Have one of the sewing books and some lovely bits of fabric but hate to cut it up - have made a few things but love to just look at the material. :)
ReplyDeleteYour labels and ribbons are fabulous - where did you get them from?
Also was just wondering if you have any suggestion for kids and holidays in our parts? New ideas always welcome. :)
ReplyDeleteJust love all your French prettiness! :)

Hi Gill, all very french, it's wonderful. Where do you find all those things? Lesley x
ReplyDeleteLesley - fabrics I usually find on ebay or occasionally at a boot fair or sale or sometimes auction. Ribbons and trims usually the same - got a good bag of vintage passmenterie for £2 at the last boot fair.
ReplyDeleteThe french labels are not originals but copies, again off ebay - seller tenivo*uk - they are card toppers.
Most fabrics have been picked over many years,i started collecting my stash of vintage fabrics at about the age of 15 at jumble sales!!!

Nothing better than spending time in your sewing room with lots of lovely fabric! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteFull of inspiration Momma!!! love it all.
ReplyDeleteWhat a tempting array - and I do envy you your sewing room. I have to set up at the end of the kitchen table, which makes for rather a lot of distraction, and very disjointed working!

ReplyDeleteI hope you had some lovely sewing time over the weekend, Gill. I love the French fabrics and trims you have collected, they are so stylish. I also love all the French labels you show here, I love to look out for similar things to use in collage. Have a great week.

Hallo, Wow, this is inspiring, wandering around on your blog! I am living in Sweden and originally from Holland.
ReplyDeleteNow I know where to place my sewing things, in my to-be little corner where I can leave stuff and work on nice little things.
But first I'll have a visit in your online shop!
I love your cubbies full of beautiful trims!
ReplyDeleteVery intrigued to see what you make out of all those lovely things. Vintage labels are gorgeous. Love Linda x
