Isn't this the sweetest baby's top
it is all hand made with exquisite hand made lace
and tiny pin tucking.
I found it at a Brocante in my daughter's village.
The back is just as beautiful
the fabric is the finest lawn or voile
with tiny mother-of-pearl buttons
I was delighted to also find this vintage broderie anglaise
I only have 2 metres
so I'm saving it for a very special fabric book.
I apologise for the darkness of the photos - it has been another
dark, wet and miserable Spring day!
I always look for old books and postcards
and I was happy with my finds
this one was over 100 years old!
I would love to buy more but there is limited
room in my suitcase!
After reading Suzy's post on dyeing fabrics and lace
with the juice from her home grown loganberries,
I delved into my freezer and found a packet of mixed berries.
I boiled ¾ of a cup for a few minutes, sieved them
and added the juice to ¾ of a cup of water
and boiled for 30 minutes.
These pieces will all be used in my new book!
