Sew Cute!
Check out this cute new sewing themed paper/fabric collage I recently did! Materials include a vintage sewing pattern envelope, a combination of vintage and new fabrics and trims, red felt, cardboard (for the backing), glitter (of course), and my new skill of embroidery!

I embroidered "sew cute" with black thread onto the fun red and white polka dot fabric just to give the collage a little extra oomph! What do you think?


Everything is sewn together with my trusty sewing machine and red thread! I think this would be a perfect piece of art to adorn a sewing or craft room!

For the Sweet Girl In Your Life
I just created this brand new collage and I really like it! It celebrates all the sweet little girls in our lives, who bring us joy, laughter and love! Don't you know a little girl just like that? I sure have a few I can think of!
The base of the collage is made from a variety of vintage fabrics, pretty patterned paper, and some lovely daisy trim, all sewn together with pink thread.
The little girl is a vintage paper image from an old sewing pattern envelope. I then, of course, added some glitter to show just how much she sparkles, both inside and out!
I will add some vintage pink seam binding to the top so she is ready to hang. I can envision her adorning a special little girl's bedroom door, or wall, reminding all just how special and sweet she is!

New Embroidery Skills!
I have been trying to learn how to incorporate embroidery into my art lately, and so far I think it has been coming along nicely! I just made this fun little Spring themed fabric/paper collage last night, which includes the words "Happy Spring" embroidered into some of the fabric. What do you think? (sorry the images are a little light in color, no good natural light today to snap photos, so I scanned it into my computer)

Here is a close up of the embroidery. I know I still need a little work, but I think it came out pretty well for my first time!
The little girls are cut out from a vintage sewing pattern envelope! I think they look lovely in their spring time dresses!
While watching movies today, I made some more embroidery pieces, so I will be sure to share with you soon!
