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.

Not all embroideries are of The Royal College of Needlework standard, and I love these home sewn ones, with their homespun look, and romantic feelings for the past.

Full description

This little upcycled lavender bag was once the corner of a forlorn vintage tray cloth. I love its hand sewn domestic look, with a lady dressed in a crinoline, attending to her garden! Possibly embroidered by a child, these scraps of sewing have become a small bit of social history, and a glimpse into a bygone age. This little bag is filled with a muslin bag of dried lavender from the Yorkshire Wolds. Lavender is the ancient cure for sleepless nights, for keeping away pesky moths, and for keeping clothes fresh in storage.

This would make a lovely housewarming present, a sweet gift for a bride, or for a besotted gardener.

The lavender bag measures 10 cm by 10 cm and has a muslin bag filled with dried lavender inside.

It has a vintage embroidered crinoline lady in her garden on the front, and a small spray of flowers on the back.

There is a little hook to pop over a coat hanger or to hang up and admire the handi work, and it is finished off with my own embroidered name tag.

Your bag will arrive wrapped in clean, recycled wrapping from my hoard, and sent as RM 2nd class.
