I had so much fun making fabric pumpkins from some vintage fabric that my Sister sent me. A friend of hers helped an elderly woman move from her home and she told her friend that they may have anything in the attic and it seems that she had stored some beautiful vintage wool, handwoven silk from India and gorgeous silk from the USA. There was also a bit of hand painted silk organdy and though there are some holes in the organdy, there are still plenty of usable pieces, and all the other fabric is perfect! So, this weekend I went on a pumpkin making spree! They are all available in my etsy shop (Booh Bears etsy Shop). They can be used year round, they are not just for Fall decorating! I've decided to keep a few for my home, too! Here are pictures of my latest pumpkins! I hope you like them as much as I do ;o)
And here is a picture of the fabric used to make these pumpkins! All so lovely and vintage!
Have a blessed week!

Sounds like a treasure trove in that attic!
ReplyDeleteYes, I think it was, Katy! They also brought home a gorgeous antique Singer Sewing Machine - it wasn't a featherweight but it was beautiful! I hope someone wants my "stash" when I'm 97 years old and have to move! lol! xxxx
DeleteHi. I came to your blog via your friend Allie. Adore your beautiful bears. They are just gorgeous. I draw bears and stitch them... I am definitely a fan of little furry people. Hugs xx
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Michelle! I took a peek at your blogs, too! Love the little snowman stitchery - it is so cute! Would love to see some of your stitched bears, too! Hugs, Janice
