Designed by mum as an upright chair seat cover this cross-stitch is very typical of the 1970's. When 70's colours went out of vogue the seat was re-covered, this was washed and placed aside in the linen cupboard, where I found it again recently. The colours and design now appeal to a new generation and Mum's quite happy for me to repurpose it, so I'm going to attempt to make it into the back and flap of a clutch bag.
I have a lovely golden dupion silk to make the front and lining, so we'll see how that works out! 20% off selected items for just one week! Click on the pics below to go straight to my Etsy shop for more details.
It's been lovely to have such a great response to mum's cross stitch-thank you to you all! The random design is easy for her to complete and keeps her fingers busy without the difficulty of following a pattern. It's given her a purpose for her creations and I've sold them as fast as we can make them!
Adding a zip or a magnetic fastener, a vintage button and a funky lining makes for a pleasing result, providing you're not too particular about the cross-stitching being perfect! And they're easy to post as a gift or keep as a special treat for yourself! |
