Vintage Lace Embellished Skirt

Inspired by the popup boutique on Cleveland's near westside, with its excusive repurposed art, my daughter and I are embellishing simple gathered skirts with vintage lace, just for fun. A foundational layer of muslin adds extra body to what at first starts out as a 40x20 inch rectangle. The bottom is hemmed; lace is layed; center back stitched; elastic casing secured; and viola the skirt is complete. Very simple project! You might try it, just for fun .

Wreaths with handmade flowers

I am ever determining new ways to display my fabric flowers. Here are pics of some wreaths I made featuring the flowers. These wreaths start as a metal frame and are wrapped with vintage lace and ribbon. Flowers compliment the lace and ribbon color and are attached by stitching.

Very fun to make!
