I used some favourite fabrics from my stash...old sheets, buttons, lace and some truly scrumptious bias binding...and a doily for granny chic goodness of course!
A perfectly useful pocket...
My new pinny...perfect for craft fairs me thinks!
Apart from pinning and sewing pinnies, I have also made a few more bits for the upcoming craft fairs, and also to sell on my Facebook page.
Vintage inspired button bouquet brooches...
I've got one last little project to share with you. I've been toying with this idea for some time, after seeing some origami dresses on Pinterest. I wanted to use fabric instead of paper to make a little framed picture. Such fun!
So, this is what have kept me from my blogging chair for the last week or so! What have you all been up to? Anything exciting? I can't wait to have a little time to sit with a warm cuppa, and to catch up with all the wonderful blogs out there that always cheer me, challenge me or inspire me! Do say hello! I'd love to hear from you!
Blessings, Tania ♥♥♥
Such beautiful makes as always Tania!

Hi Victoria! Awww...thank you so much! It's been a crazy couple of weeks...looking forward to things slowing down a wee bit! xxx
DeleteI absolutely love the little origami dress framed. This year Christmas is super tight and I am trying to make as many things as possible for our daughters and this would be perfect for her dad (who spends hours doing origami) to make for her. I also love the apron/pinny! Just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYip, we are also on a tight budget this Christmas, and I do think that being able to give handmade gifts is such a blessing! I for one love receiving something that someone has made themselves! I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas together! Thanks for stopping by and for leaving lovely comments! Tania ♥
DeleteAbsolutely beautiful, wonderfully cheerful pieces. I adore the blue and pink floral fabric in the apron that you made. Take the pink out of it, increase the size of the roses, and that fabric is very similar one that my granny has a pair of curtains in up in a bedroom in her house that have been hanging there since the early 60s.

Hello my lovely! Thank you for the lovely comment! I do love florals, and yes, these old sheets came up trumps! I'd love to take a peek at those curtains! I hope you are well, and enjoying the run up to Christmas? I am looking forward to all the craft fairs slowing down a bit (much as I love doing them!), so that I can sit down with a cuppa and read all on your blog...haven't had two minutes to do so! Keep well, and keep smiling! Tania ♥♥
DeleteTania, your makes are gorgeous! The pinny looks so well put together and detailed, and your buttons brooches are such a clever idea - I do love items with a colour theme. I love the Granny Chic book as well, I've been rationing myself to a few pages each night so I can savour all of the 'recipes'. Enjoy wearing your new pinny with pride.

Thank you Anna! So you two are savouring a bit of Granny Chic...I think rationing oneself is a jolly good idea! I hope all is well in your valley? Enjoy this run up to Christmas! Tania ♥
Deletea lovely pinny, great to wear for fairs, I must get a copy of that book! Heather x
ReplyDeleteHi Heather! You would love the book! It's full of eye-candy for the creative soul! Tania ♥
DeleteThat pinny is so pretty and vintage xx
ReplyDeleteHi Rebecca! Thank you for popping in and for leaving lovely heartwarming words! Ooh...I see that you got the book! I hope you're enjoying it as much as I am! Tania ♥
DeleteJust bought myself a copy of 'Granny Chic' xx

Love your pinny, love Granny Chic ... And today met Rachelle at the Country Lving Fair! Her stall was lovely, and it was very nice to meet her ... will show my Granny Chic lampshades soon xxx
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely fabulous projects - the apron is just too lovely for words; what did you fill the lovely little sachets with?
ReplyDeleteI have been busy putting up my garland & advent bits http://deeatthecarlton.blogspot.co.uk/2012/12/counting-down-to-christmas.html
and baking some traditional crunchies to sustain the daughter while she studies for A-levels in January.

You made some lovely things for the craft fair Tania! Your pinny & those brooches look really good.
ReplyDeleteThe books sounds like something I may enjoy too :-)
