Vintage & Handmade Textile & Fashion Fair

 This Saturday - 23rd February, I shall have a stall at the 

Original Vintage & Handmade Textile & Fashion Fair, 

The Town Hall, Chipping Sodbury, BS37 6AD
10am - 3pm. £1.00 admission

I'm hoping to have a good, mixed selection of items for sale, including some vintage fabrics, supplies, fashion accessories and a small collection of my handmade goods...

Including:

Amoura
One of my handmade fairy dolls - Dressed in antique lace and assorted vintage embellishments. 

Agatha
A medium sized rag doll dressed in a Fair Isle style sweater and a c1930's feedsack patchwork skirt.

Dilys
In a  recycled hand knitted sweater and similar c1930's feedsack skirt.

And Colette

In her patchwork dress of rare French fabrics. 

***

I've made a couple of 'tatty patchwork' handbags, using more antique French fabrics.

*

And some little pouch bags, ideal for cameras, mobile phones etc. 

Two are made from a very old linen and fasten with a glass button and have a beautiful pink millinery rose to decorate.

Another is made from antique silk velvet and lined inside with a rare rose print cotton.

 

LOTS of little patchwork sachets, filled with a traditional pot pourri  recipe. 

Trimmed with velvet ribbon and violet flower. 

*

I also have a selection of little brooch pillows, 

each decorated with a vintage costume brooch.

And I'll have the lace lamps with me, the powder-puff wands and lots of vintage fabric scraps that I've bagged up since my workroom blitz.

Hope to see you at the fair!

Have a lovely weekend whatever you have planned,
