I'll just show you page after page and I will probably add a few more things later like more lace and buttons but you can see my style I have gone for, scraps of material and lace.
This first page is a vintage ladies hankie rhinestone buckle a pink bow and millinery flowers
I bought these buttons on a spool already threaded , added a crown pin and ecru antique lace
Odds and ends of lace and crochet for a pocket to put my card of buttons in
Scraps of my all time favorite material and some vintage red buttons
This is a little girls tutu I cut up added some white bows and a rhinestone dress buckle
A little embroidered doily with rick rack buttons and a paper doll peeking out
This is my favorite page
Vintage buttons and a original little chick for baby clothes, it was in it's original package
More of my toile fabric with an machine embroidered patch and another sweet rhinestone button
Oh I see a thread or two I need to cut off, well anyway it's completed so I can drag out the vacuums now and get to work
Below is my sweet blue bird and I added a crown for her also
Thanks for looking at my 12 x 12 inch fabric book
Linky parties I joined in
