Most of the things here are from my grandmother's sewing box or my husbands mothers sewing machine drawers. So I plan to hang this in my sewing area.
Started with crimped cardboard for the base. I made a felt blue flower and a zipper flower in the top right corner. Added a pearl earing and necklace to the patterned lady. The lower corner are zipper pulls I stashed when I take the zippers apart to make the flower.
Notice the Prices. 15 cents for Needles, 10 cents for Hook and Eyes, 49 cents for Ruffled Trim,
10 cents for Woolworth buttons. The Singer Tag was from his mothers Machine and who would know what the price for that would have been back in the 30's.
What fun I had putting this together. Now it can be on display rather than in a box. Stop over to Moxie Fab World, Cath has some awesome photos posted. And the designers some great fun cards.
Thanks for stopping by. What a beautiful weekend in store for us. Enjoy every minute.
