Bits and Bobs - Raiding the Craft Room Stash





The process of turning our leftover fabric pieces, scraps, 
odd flowers, beads, charms, and laces into an 
embellished length of fabric. 
Playing with Textiles of a smaller nature and creating 
something beautiful. This may be achieved with the 
aid of a sewing machine, hand stitching or even glue. 
Uses in junk journaling as lace clusters.
Tags, pockets or page adornments.
But let's experiment to see what else these little
Self-made treasures can be. 




Some suggestions I have put together:
Bookmarks, Tags, Lace Cuffs
even decorations, banners, and Christmas décor.

As another layer in a sewing Project as you would
If placing a lace, this will become a feature. 
such as a bag or pouch. 

If the Snippet is in Cream, Ivory or White
the use in Bridal accessories is endless.
Pillows, Bags, Guest Registry, Cuffs, Belt. 
Scrapbooking, Card Making.






Make your own Embellishments by cutting into shapes
hearts, flowers, butterflies, dragonfly wings adding 
beads for the body, angel wings, birds, eg. 
Add extra beading and sequins as desired. 
Placing a pin or brooch clip to wear on clothing.

If you are into Slow Stitching, this can add depth
and texture, taking your work to the next level.

Inspiration with Fabric Art

 

EOFY SALE HAS BEGUN IN MY ETSY STORE. 25%



Giving your Creativity a Boost with Fabric Art


We all know there are times when our Muse is taking a 
holiday and the Inspiration for a Design or putting a theme
 together for a Project can be a little more difficult
 at times. Or even trying to find a suitable Fabric in a store.
I myself have been in this situation and the -
 Fabric Collages  available in the Etsy Store have 
developed from such a situation. 

There is always the option of buying a fabric with the plan
 of cutting featured areas which can be possible with
 Quilting and Patchwork Fabrics, or uploading a photo
 and transferring onto fabric, which I did for some time.





Times have changed with the ability to digitally print direct onto fabrics, wallpapers, paper, etc. to create something unique and perfect for your creation.
This is how it all began for me. My mind was consumed with 
images and ideas for Fabric collage and this has developed 
over the years.




Beginning with a Fabric Image to Design your
Needlecase, or any other project is a way to influence
Colour, Design, Style and Theme.




More of these Fabric Collections are available at

Products are continually changing with my Interest and
Inspiration at the time. There is a quantity limit to my
prints, so the creativity is more unique for the purchaser.

Journaling Inspiration with Snippet Packs





 I have had an obsession with Snippets lately,

almost OCD. Rounding up all the supplies,

 Laces, Fabrics, Embellishments and start to 

play with placement and colour it is difficult

 to stop at one. It can be a way of adding 

stitches, sequins, ribbon embroidery, 

buttons, beading, and, naturally, laces.

Many of us have a stash, of all the odds 

and ends that are just not enough 

 to use in a full project but with snippets 

strips, clusters etc. they can all add up to

something beautiful. It is not necessary to 

be into Journaling to make use of the strips,

 I will be adding posts at a later date to 

offer some ideas of other purposes. 

For the time being here is a little eye candy. 



Another version more applicable for Clusters






Body and Texture from layering all types fabrics - 

organza, nets, lace pieces, bridal laces,

Doily pieces and flowers. Buttons, charms, beads.

Build the layers on a narrow piece of poplin, or soft fabric.

Machine stitch the first layer down to hold in place,

then adding gathered clusters of organza or chiffon.

Pieces of Lace. Run another layer of stitching over this.

Final layer is the embellishments, which are easier to

 hand-stitch them into position. 


Maybe I have inspired you to rustle up some supplies 

from your stash, and begin your own. All you need to start

 is a soft cotton base and small pieces of fabric.

For those who have already discovered snippets, I am 

sure you acknowledge the dilemma; really, the days are

 just not long enough. 


Inspiration or just short of the supplies

Carol Daisy Crafts Snippet Packs are filled

with goodies - such as Fabrics, Laces, Beads,

Embellishments Sequins etc.



New Fabric Designs on the way.
