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 will be re-stocking slowly but surely after Christmas, 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.
I found a lovely pile of cross stitch samplers at a table top sale in York, all stitched by the same lady, and never made up into anything. I am steadily working my way through them with some TLC. Some have been make up bags, others lavender bags, but this one really had to be a drawstring!

Full description
This beautiful vintage embroidery has an old fashioned winter scene of a child in the snow, feeding the birds. It is all in a tiny cross stitch sewn with such care, by an expert needlewoman. I wonder who she was? My idea when re-using it, was to make it into something which could be brought out every christmas, something which could hold all the memories of the year before. Perhaps it could be a replacement for a stocking, or a little Santa’s sack for a child. Could it be used as reusable wrapping ? Or simply to store the christmas decorations.
The stitching has been done on a textile called Aida, which is full of tiny holes as a guide for working the cross stitch. It has then been backed onto cotton, to give it some strength, but it is still a soft little bag.
The drawstring bag is 45 cm tall. The circular base is 70 cm diameter, and is stitched onto canvas to give it some body.
It closes with 2 fabric drawstrings, and is lined in blue polycotton.
The back and top drawstring sections are made from a brown and white striped linen, and it is finished off with my own embroidered name tag.
It likes a gentle hand wash in mild detergent, and hung on the line to dry. Please iron when slightly damp, or spray first with water.
I like to reuse. Your bag will be posted out in recycled wrapping from my hoard, and sent as Royal Mail 2nd class.
