Photo shows Rose bib necklace...I made this using some of the vintage fabric my mother in law had stashed and recently gave me and from what my mother gave me that had belonged to a family friend.... I have it listed in my foreverandaday.etsy.com shop.
My mom seems to bring lots of things when she comes up to visit us, last time she visited she gave me a treasure. An elderly family friend who was a seamstress passed away had lots of fabric stashed and her family was throwing it all away. My mother to the rescue asked if she could give me some of it and they gave her boxes of what they hadn't dumped yet...(I hate to think of what they had thrown out...but I am not complaining about what they gave me it was a wonderful way to share their mother with me)
I have a feeling she would be happy to know her stash of fabric is being loved and carefully used. I have several yards of lots of fabrics that I have fallen in love with and don't know what to do with except pull out and ooh and aww over the vibrant prints. I really don't know how I will use it all but I do love looking and dreaming and creating and sewing and ...well I have made a few things out of fabric that I have a larger amounts of or her scraps that she was saving up. There is a box with cut up patterns stuck inside the original envelops...that are from the fifties and sixties, so very stylish and feminine. I wash all the fabric using the delicate settings and dry them carefully as well...I usually iron them and fold it up until I get time for creating : )
