Last day

Today is the last day

of our little sewing museum linky party.

 

I was surprised that so many of you

posted about old machines!

Goes to show how MUCH we love them...right?

 

I have a few old pieces of fabric.

Vintage towels.

and napkins.

 

These older pieces of fabric intrigue me.

This is a super old "SNIPPET" of a quilt.

I can open it up and see the blue foundation fabric

and the OLD batting!

 

These are pieces of TIME past

that I can TOUCH!

 

This is SUPER OLD.

Wish I knew more about old fabric!

It's THIN...thin...thin....

Another piece that was in the same package.

 

I purchased these at a thrift store a while back.

They have holes.

They're useless.

BUT to me they are

PRICELESS.

Wish I could hear their story!!!

 

Thanks for linking up

and adding your treasures

to our little

SEWING MUSEUM!

 

 

Old patterns

I was given some old patterns just yesterday.

They're not SUPER old.

1966.

Or maybe that IS old???

The older I get

the harder it is to FIGURE that one out!

The cute blue background fabric was also included.

It's light weight corduroy.

I LOVE it.

 

I'm inspired to make that first little nightgown

for my daughter.

;)

Will I do it???

So many projects in my DREAMS!!!

 

 

The sewing museum linky is still going strong!

Link up if you have something OLD to share.

;)

 

 

 

 

Tuesday

So....

I've perfected my crotchet stitch on dishcloths.

;)

I have enough dishcloths

in EVERY color

to last me a LONG time!

LOL!

 

I decided to SPREAD my "wings"

and tackle something a BIT more challenging.

A new BEGINNING.

Tutorial here.

 

I've watched the video instructions OVER and over...

and......

I think I've got it!!!

Sigh of relief!

Thanks to everyone linking up for our MUSEUM.

I'll add our little collaborative musuem to a page on my blog

and keep it permanent.

Museum Monday

When I read this post...

I knew I had to share about MY museum pieces.

;)

 

Do YOU have a MINI museum

in YOUR sewing room???

 

I bet many of YOU have OLD sewing things.

Things that aren't being used..

but CAN'T be thrown out!!!

Old spools of thread.

These little needle packages have been around a long time.

So have these.

All these little items fit into ONE glass jar

on my shelf.

It is MY mini sewing museum.

 

If you have a museum at YOUR house....

link up with me next Monday!

Share about the one, two

or MANY things

that belong in a MUSEUM!!!

 

We'll have a Linky party

ALL ABOUT OLD sewing things.

 

I'd LOVE to see what you have!

We'd ALL love to take a little tour.

 

Post about it in the coming week or two.

I'll set up a linky party next Monday!!!

 

See you there!
