Sew Vintage

Sew Vintage

This one was a lot of fun. I had the small crocheted berries for years and then a couple of weeks ago at the antique faire I found the matching doily. A raid on the sewing notion box turned up the buttons and bobbins. All mounted on a canvas board painted in pinks and greens and collaged with vintage sewing advertisements. Our fashionable 1890's girl poses in the center accompanied by a brass stamping fan and velvet leaves. I affixed the berries with light blue map pins and finished off the piece with brass corners. And it's all "sew" vintage! You guessed it - one more for Open Studios!
