Mini Gift Bags from a Repurposed Stole



Thank you Pastor Parker for donating some stoles. I repurposed one into 6 mini gift bags with snap closures. They measure 3.5 x 4 inches. The fabric is so vibrant and crisp. Best wishes on your retirement!

zippered rosette embellishments





I am working on a new embellishment using zippers that I pull out of jackets and remnants of formal dress hems. I stitch the two together and then form them into a rosette. Next I add assorted vintage buttons and back it with felt and a pin finding.

A happy client sent me these photos of valances I made for her.
