Sew Happy

I have been sewing and thought you would like to see what i have been making....i  also have pictures of those dusky pink  light shades finished and some hand made presents i have sent to blogging friends.

I really enjoy sitting down and choosing all the bits and pieces  for what i am about to make and seeing what works together....sewing makes me really happy and i can honestly sit with a needle and thread for hours on end.


I love this Rose pink velvet ribbon and insertion lace is always pretty......

1930's lingerie fabric covered in roses and snow white lace.............

Which made this lady a new petticoat after she arrived with a torn one and full of holes........

Pretty in pink and back to her former glory.......

So pretty and so cozy now the dark nights are here and i really like how the rose fabric looks with the lamp light........

 


The  dusky pink lamp shades as i found them.......

Now with hand made ribbon roses,trims and old glass beaded fringing....... i have photographed them on two different lamps as i am not sure where they are going to go once we have moved to the beach cottage,i will wrap them up and pop them away for next year.....

Shades really soften the light in a room and give a lovely vintage glow...

A close up below for Ann who wanted to see my ribbon roses...............pretty glass bead fringing sparkling in the light....Boudoir Glamour.......

Mid to late 1800's antique Mer-boys French Empire linen  weave fabric in soft aged raspberry red,soft pink and cream made into a display pillow for a blogging friend who i hope to meet one day (i can't say who she is  in this post as she might be reading)........ 

This lady sews all year long making beautiful items for us all to enjoy so i thought it would be a nice surprise for someone to sew for her.........

I added lace,vintage crystals from an old necklace and a rhinestone button and beaded his tail with tiny glass beads........

I made a fabric conch shell to add to the Mer-boy theme..........

The little memories purse from my last post is posted and is on its way to the really lovely........
