Here's a great find! This gorgeous antique lace collar is in pristine condition! I just don't know what to say about it other than it is beautiful and would make a fabulous addition to a collection, or a stunning piece of art if you mounted it on a black matte board and framed it in a pretty gold frame. It measures 36 inches long (opened up) and 10.5 inches at the widest point across. From an Ohio estate of a lady in her 90s. |
This large make-do pin cushion is pieced and stitched from a remnant of a beautiful old quilt and some overdyed wool to match. I added hand stitching in soft gray-green, trimmed it with an antique lace doily, and attached it to a vintage silver tidbit tray. I added a pink & white checked antique button and a beautiful old key for fun. See all the angles by clicking the image here. |
This simple make-do pin cushion is stitched from a brown checked wool, trimmed in old lace, and attached to a handpainted and aged box in which you can store you r sewing necessities. an antique button tops the cushion and from it hangs a tiny basket that can hold your thimble. |

My newest designs in vintage textiles!I take men's vintage sports jackets and restyle and upcycle them into women's jackets by adding fur collars (some new and some vintage), antique buttons and bits of antique jewelry. The cuffs get turned back and antique lace is added to accent. Jackets are Dryell cleaned.The greatest thing, in my opinion, about these jackets is all the pockets. You never have to carry a purse while shopping! |
