Lace and vintage linens

Well  it is official I love lace, am addicted to making it on my embroidery machine and buying it vintage or otherwise. Bid on some beautiful vintage linens last weekend and won, yippee! Arrived and so chuffed with them. At the same time ordered some fabric with a rose print and intend to use parts of the linens along with the rose fabric made into bags, from totes to frame clutches. So exciting a very happy bunny.

Anyway here is a pic of the linens and rose fabric.

Calamity my P foot broke on my embroidery machine, tantrum thrown then thought will make up one of the vintage linen rose bags instead. good job I had finished the top hat and cuff.

Also been working on a lace cuff, stitched out the cuff design on the embroidery machine, only problem should have a dainty edging but I had a box behind the arm (stupid thing to do) and the machine jumped. At least it did the main pattern okay. Just trimmed round the outer design and am sure no one would know.

Plus another top hat fascinator, did a bit more of the piecing on the sewing machine this time. As kept jabbing the needle in my fingers, plasters all over the place and not easy to hand sew.
Love the aqua/turquoise colouring on this one. The boxes arrived to go with them, just need some shredded tissue for the bottom.

Have also launched my Easter products cute egg cup cosies, bunting and cute duck pins
