So far our weekend has been a bit of wash out weather wise unfortunately. I'd hoped to take lots of beautiful leafy fall pictures, but alas it was not to be. However, time inside meant a few more completed projects on the sewing machine - including a tutorial which I'll post in the next few days. I'm far too lazy to do these on a regular basis, but given that I use a lot of other tutorials, I feel like it's my turn to offer a little something... Here's a sneak preview - waiting for better weather so I can take some good pictures. See that little button? It's my most prized thrifted button - it took a lot of strength to actually use it!
Speaking of buttons, here's some more of my collection that are still attached to their original packaging. I found a huge stash a while back in my favourite thrift store and it looks like many of these are from the local area. The needle trade was (and still is to a lesser extent) big business in Montreal in the sixties and seventies.
And then a simple little project, this linen and doily tote. Made in just an hour, I never really tire of this kind of sewing project...
