Bugle Beads - 75g Blue Iris, metallic 20mm vintage-recycled

Fri, 04 Dec 2009 11:08:15 -0500

$5.00
These shiny iridescent Blue/purple bugle beads were rescued from a vintage 70s top. The top was made in India and these were rescued from the degrading fabric. They were just too pretty for where they were headed! :-).

You get the three small bags pictured for a total weight of 75 grams or 2.7 oz (including the bags).

I will combine shipping costs on multiple items. Just convo me!

This is a new shop for me so if you want to seem my feedback check my ceramic and pottery site at tinalewis.etsy.com

Spring Jacket or Appliques You Decide

Fri, 04 Dec 2009 11:08:15 -0500

$10.00
This is a very cute jacket I rescued for the embroidery all over the front back and arms. I machine washed it and air dried it. It's clean - no stains or tears and in excellent condition. It is 98% Cotton and 2% Spandex with a little stretch to the fabric.

The embroidery would make very nice appliques. There are 8 birds, some butterflies and lots of flowers. The buttons are each a different primary color with a black center part.

If you want to wear it, the jacket is a Small probably around a size 6 or a small 8. It is around 34" in the bust - convo me if you want more measurements. The inside seams are finished nicely.

This will ship in a US Post Office Flat Rate box. If you want to save a little on shipping convo me and I can change the listing to actual shipping cost for US Parcel Post (or refund through Pay Pal) - usually a little less but slower.

Cherry Blossom Wrap

Fri, 04 Dec 2009 11:07:19 -0500

$15.00
This beautiful wrap/scarf is a raspberry/pink color. It's hard to photograph but in the first photos it's over white paper and in the darker one I draped it over a raspberry silk slip.

I rescued it for the beading but after washing and pressing it the beautiful cherry blossom pattern called to me. The pattern is repeated on each end of the wrap.

I think it's vintage but there are no labels. The fabric appears to be a silk type organza with a little stiffness. It has a nice delicate hem all the way around.

Great condition, no stains, tears and all the beads and sequins are intact.

Measurements: 72" long and 19" wide.

Ivory Crochet Table Runner/Trim

Sat, 03 Oct 2009 19:33:00 -0400

$15.00
This Ivory Crochet Table Runner/Trim has 16 crochet doiley type rounds and a nice long ruffle border. There are no tags so I can't verify it is vintage but I'm 99% sure it is cotton. It has been washed, bleached and then washed and dried in the sun.

This is still in great condition to use intact but would provide some nice supplies for lots of projects. There are no stains or tears.

Size 52" Long and 16" wide.

4 Fabric Swatch Cards Pink Martini and Palm Tree

Sat, 03 Oct 2009 19:32:44 -0400

$5.00
This is a set of 4 Swatch Cards each with a Pink Martini and Palm Tree fabric swatch. These prints were rescued from cotton capri pants!

I cut a rough outline and left some margin so it can be re-used for a patch, scrapbooking, or for another craft or card. This would be a fun card for a crafty/sewing friend.

I basted the swatch onto an acid free/lignin free blank white card so it is ready to re-use or upgrade with your own collage additions.

These come with a white envelope packaged in clear sleeves purchased from another Etsy Seller; a simple loose card is included as pictured.

Size: 4" X 5.5"

Pink Flamingo Embroidery Swatch Card Blank

Sat, 03 Oct 2009 19:32:44 -0400

$3.00
This is the first of a new product line for Ecofab.

This very cool Pink Flamingo Embroidery Swatch was rescued from a not so attractive jacket. The embroidery is on a stretchy cotton fabric and has great details including faux diamond eyes. I cut a rough outline and left some margin so it can be re-used for a patch, scrapbooking, or for another craft or card. This would be a fun card for a crafty/sewing friend that likes Flamingos.

I basted the swatch onto a acid free/lignin free blank white card so it is ready to re-use or upgrade with your own collage additions.

Comes with a white envelope packaged in a clear sleeve purchased from another Etsy Seller, a simple loose card is included as pictured.

Gold Mandala Embroidery Applique

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 16:29:27 -0400

$8.00
This is a beautiful Gold-colored Embroidery Applique (and 4 matching corners) that I rescued from a vintage pillow. The lovely gold colored thread has a nice soft satin shine.

The large medallion measures 5" across and the 4 corners are each 1/4 the size of the big medallion.

These have been washed and put through the dryer. I'm not sure what the fabric back is but it appears in good shape and fairly sturdy. These pieces have a nice seam allowance on the back.

The Medallion is very much like a Mandala and I really love the swirls. It looks stunning on black velvet and would make something wonderful.
