Little Girls want to play DRESS UP!

This is one amazing little Mixed Media fabric book! One of the best I've ever made. Created ONLY WITH VINTAGE and ANTIQUE FABRICS, FLOWERS, and LACES...including a beautiful antique silk quilt!


Little Girls play DRESS UP with grandma's clothes, jewels, millinery

Book measures 9"x5"... filled with antique and vintage fabrics, Christening dresses, and laces. Cover sports an antique corsage above a beautiful vintage brooch.

Filled with Grandma's antique brooches, a glove, millinery flowers, and opera gloves!

Let's take a look....

The front cover... vintage millinery flower corsage mounted on vintage doily and silk quilt. Sweet antique brooch too.

 Using ONLY VINTAGE and ANTIQUE fabrics and laces!

 Here... I've reassembled a vintage flower and added a vintage pearl button...vintage lace trim ties to hang antique opera length gloves.
 The back of the book.... I used a fine netting over the delicate silk quilt.








 This is the AMAZING antique lace under the opera gloves.

 And, finally... the elbow length netted opera gloves.

Little Wicked Witches...a fun Halloween book!

Little Wicked Witches is a fun little book for Halloween! Filled with vintage photos of little girls dressed up (or photoshopped) in mischievous poses. 

Book measures 5"x9" with 11 pages. 

Created with an Antique silk quilt cover and pages. Many little girl dresses, Christening dresses, and vintage fabrics and laces, make this book feel so good in the hand. Every page is full of layer upon layer of vintage fibers and fabrics.



















 Here you can see the antique quilt on the back cover. The almost transparent fiber covering will protect the delicate silk.

Something different...

I've been wanting to use some of my vintage laces on a project like this for ages.... my Pinterest page is full of ideas for Lace/Fabric Wall Hanging Organizers.... I'm pleased with the way this turned out. Think I might teach this in the near future. What do you think?

 Here, I loaded the pockets with vintage Cabinet photos....
