Hi there and welcome to my shop. Here you will find old embroideries, vintage fabrics and sparkling remnants made into something pretty and practical once again. I re-stock slowly but surely, so do keep coming back for a browse.
As I try to recycle where I can, your order will arrive wrapped in clean, recycled packaging from my hoard.
Thank you for visiting me at Folksy.

How lovely to find such a fabulous old tablecloth. Although it had been forgotten, some TLC has brought it back to life. I’m so glad those Mimosas are being seen again.
There is a larger cosmetics bag made from this same wonderful fabric also in my shop.

Full description

Vintage embroidery purse or cosmetics bag with Mimosa flowers design.

Mimosa flowers are standing proud on this pretty vintage embroidery. Remade from a wonderful old tablecloth which had seen better days, it is now a practical little purse, cosmetics or make up bag.

This beautiful hand embroidery could be as old as 1940’s with its glimpses of art deco swirls. It would make a lovely present for a textiles lover or embroiderer and would be perfect for storing keepsakes, or simply hanging up as a piece of craft work in its own right.

The embroidery has been backed with canvas to strengthen it.

It measures 16 cm across

It measures 13 cm down

There is a dark brown zip fastening measuring 16 cm.

The lining is in a vintage cotton, with a brown floral design.

The back is washed recycled blue denim, to give it a bit of edge.

There is a finger twirling loop to the top, so you can hang it up and admire the floral display.

The bag is finished with my own embroidered name tag.

I like to reuse where I can. Your bag will be posted out using clean, recycled packaging.

It will be posted out as Royal Mail 2nd class, with proof of posting. This takes up to 3 working days.
