Christmas vintage trims from Rag Rescue

Why not make your Christmas cards, parcels or gifts a little different this year with the addition of vintage trimmings from Rag Rescue. There are lots of trimmings in the embellishment and haberdashery sections of the website.

Here are just a few that I have added today.

 Why not make a gift card by adding vintage fabric to card, so unique.

Here are the vintage fabric squares I listed yesterday.

Rag Rescue's sourced items for sewing art journals.

Something a little different today. A number of antique advertising papers have been added to the website.

These can be used in so many ways. I like to use them in my sewing journals, either as they are or copied onto linen. I am sure you can think of so many more uses.

I love this idea of using vintage haberdashery as a cover for an art sewing journal. Of course any of the above advertising papers would look great incorporated into the design.

Christmas crafting with French vintage fabric.

If you have finished crafting all of your Christmas presents why not make some new adornments for your Christmas tree now. Here is one idea, it would look wonderful made with vintage French fabric.

if however, like me you haven't completed your Christmas shopping, then why not make a small bundle of vintage fabrics for all of your sewing friends. Here are today's listing on Rag Rescue and of course as you know there are plenty more to choose from.

A busy time at Rag Rescue website

I've been busy making a large Christmas cake this weekend. It is years since I made one, but as the family are coming over for Christmas I thought I would make a big splash this year. Lots more baking on my list. That is when I have completed the decorating of the guest room.

I've still found time to wrap up all of the orders that came in over the weekend. My husband will have to take two large bags full of parcels to the post office this morning. This is why I haven't had time to write any posts this weekend, just so busy.

Today I've listed four lovely pieces of vintage fabric for all of those small projects.

I'm afraid two of them have already been snapped up but there are still plenty on the website to wet your appetite.

Here is a wonderful idea that I found and ideal for using small vintage fabrics.

It was made by

mirianata

It has been sold now, but she has some great ideas.

Here are the vintage fabrics that I listed over the weekend.

You can see descriptions and prices

Well I'd better get moving now. I need to sort mum out and when the shops open go and buy some paint and sort out a new carpet for the guest room.

There is no rest for the wicked.

Using vintage fabric for Christmas crafts

These vintage fabrics have just been listed on the website.

Use your imagination when creating Christmas craft from vintage fabric.

Here is one idea from ideasmag.co.za

 If vintage fabrics are used they will be so unique. So simple but effective.

A day out in Wensleydale.

I had a wonderful day out in the Yorkshire dales today. We passed through Ingleborough and on through Wensleydale to the market towns of Hawes and Leyburn. On our return we stopped at the Ribblehead Viaduct for lunch and a quick walk for Poppy as it had started to rain again. Ribblehead is an area of dramatic moorland with the viaduct being an engineering marvel a must see if you are ever up in Yorkshire.

It was wonderful to get out for the day. It is the first time I have left mum on her own all day but with emergency plans in place I was able to get some fresh air at long last.

I've listed some more French vintage fabric today, have a look at these - -
