Happy New Year! 2012 sounds so space-age, don't you agree? And yet, I'm still into vintage. I shall never be a girl of the future.
With that in mind, I just listed my newest creation over at Etsy! The link is to your right.
I have so many vintage feed and seed sacks from attending farm auctions over the warm months that I'm always looking for projects to make things with them. The Certified sack was perfect because the logo was still vibrantly blue and it looks just like a paper tag, which is really trendy right now.
To make the bird cage, I machine-stitched the design complete with a swing for the bird.
The sweet bird was created with a vintage cotton bed sheet. The eye is an antique glass button.
I'm loving the machine stitching to create designs. Here's the ornament I gave to our granddaughter:
Using the same design principle, I made an ornament instead of a pillow using all vintage fabrics, except for the body of the bird. However, the little wing was made from an old pair of polyester shorts that was at the bottom of a box full of vintage fabric purchased at a farm auction. Repurposing is so much fun!
