About this item
Botanical-themed offcuts of curtain fabric with a paper backing. Ideal for many crafts, including scrapbooking, card making or mixed media art. These textiles are from a few curtain collections by ILIV, and are a shimmering mix of textures across a muted colour palette, and include embroidered satins, jacquard weaves, flocked velvet and metallics. Zero waste - I cut these pieces from the edges of the fabrics of curtain sample books, and I didn't want to throw them away. Neatly packed into a sturdy cardboard box to keep the pieces flat in the post. Each box uses the same materials shown, but cut in different sizes. A few of the smaller pieces are completely different from box to box; the embroidered leaf on the top of the box in photo 1 is an example. The paper backing is thin, so the scraps can easily be cut with a rotary blade, craft knife or sharp scissors, and can be glued or stitched onto your project - I used some to make bookmarks and gift tags, and my sewing machine coped well with double layers. Fabrics: vary, mostly polyester, some mixes including metallic threads Colours: navy blue, duck egg, cream, silver and a hint of gold Sizes: vary - the largest pieces are approx 30 by 8 cm (12 by 3 inches). There are a small number of very thin pieces (less than 1cm wide). The backing paper is white - some have printed text details. A few pieces have holes near one edge where they were stapled into the book - I left these as you may be able to work around them, but they are easily trimmed if needed. CHARITY DONATION £1 from the sale of each box will be donated to my local branch of Project Linus, where volunteers make patchwork quilts for sick or disadvantaged children.

Three gorgeous tags with vintage silk and lace. These are my favourite fabrics along with velvet. The fabrics on the tags are delightful. And the small buttons are so cute. Stitching is perfect. Absolutely love them. Thank you, Sharon.
I adore my hand embroidered bookmarks, with velvet on the backs. Attention to detail is superb. I am an obsessive bookmark collector, so I will definitely be buying more from Sharon's shop. The old button sews. Highly recommend. Prompt delivery and beautifully wrapped.
