{Rose Garden Vintage Fabric Journal}

May 3, 2017

I wanted to share this Rose Garden Fabric Journal that I recently completed. For this project, I decided to mix both faces and rose images throughout. I print my images on June Tailor Fabric Sheets (inserted into my printer.) I used a mixture of vintage pink Swiss dot fabric and muslin as the page backgrounds. I incorporated antique/vintage collars, laces,and fabric remnants throughout the journal as well. Lots of hand sewing adding little rosebud millinary flowers and mother of pearl buttons.

I like the mixture of the pink fabrics and the muslin backgrounds. Something a little different then my usual journals. The sun finally came out this morning after days of rain and grey, so I grabbed my camera and tried to get the best light possible.

{Whispers of Pink Fabric Collage Journal}

March 10, 2017

I wanted to share my fabric journal that I was working on this past week. It really feels great to be sewing again and working on things in the studio. I used various vintage images that were printed on fabric and I tried to find them that had “pink” somewhere in the photo.

I incorporated lots of vintage embellishments: hankies, mother of pearl buttons, fabric flowers, antique laces and trims, doilies, and ribbon. This journal has a little locket that is attached to the ribbon streamers as well.

I will be listing this in my Etsy shop:

I am grateful to have power as well right now. Like many, Michigan was hit quite severely with a windstorm and over 800,000 were without power since Wednesday. Many are still without and it is COLD. I hope they get it restored soon!

Happy Friday!

{Shadows of Blue Fabric Collage Book}

February 27, 2017

I am tickled to share this fabric book that I completed today with you. I had fun creating it and using many vintage/antique items throughout. I have oodles of laces, doiles, fabric flowers, ribbons, fabrics and a vintage quilt heart as well. I love that is is done in the cream and aqua/blue shades for something different. I hope you enjoy it too!

It will be going into my Etsy shop: Sugar Lump Studios.
