Creative Leftovers .. A Needle Book

Hello my dear friends,

as crafters we all seem to hold on to bits and pieces like little leftover scraps of fabric, lace, cut up or old torn doilies, old buttons, tarnished safety pins. You name it, we save it. We do it because as I once said before ... 'you never know' and this is one of those 'you never know' times.

 

Do you remember my 'Once Upon A Time' creation?

  

  

 I used a blouse I bought in a thrift store for the part of Cinderella's dress.
It was such a lovely fabric and color and I had the rest of the blouse leftover so I just had to come up with an idea to use it for and even if it were only a small piece of it and I did.

 

The piece I decided to use was the sleeve cuff ~ it was a very neat one with a frill on it.

And this is what I turned it into ...

... a needle book.

There are many photos to share with you but only few words ~ I hope you don't mind but sometimes I just like it that way.

 

 

 

 

I love thinking of creations that are made from leftovers.
It is such a neat thing to see all this 'stuff' laying in front of you, almost thrown together and then after a while this creation appears right in front of you.
Almost like a little bit of ... magic!

I hope this has brought a little joy to you because it has to me.

It would be so nice if you would stop by here at Todolwen from time to time and pay me a visit.

I hope you are well and life is treating you kind my dear friends.

Have a peaceful and creative day,



Karen B.
