October was a month of misty mornings and golden afternoons and I got off to quite a good start, making several things for my etsy shop. Unfortunately, the world then intervened, as it is wont to do, and I never did get around to blogging about or listing them!
Neither did I get around to wandering with my camera, so for the November Wandering Camera linky party, hosted by the lovely Soma over at Whims and Fancies, I am sharing my makes.
I have been combining new fabrics with vintage linens that are still very beautiful in parts but in other parts have, sadly, seen better days. Below is a pyjama case or project bag, which I made using the peg bag pattern and inserting a zip in the back. On the front is a vintage lace panel and the buttons are also pre-loved.
I also made three cushion covers using striped linen and some pieces reclaimed from damaged embroidered table cloths.
And I made a Hare Pyjama Case/Project bag (with a knitted head and arms), a crocheted hot water bottle cover and a papier mache custom made bed for Fiona.
I’m linking this post with Soma for the November Wandering Camera linky party and hoping for a less disrupted November :)

Beautiful projects, what a lovely way to make use of things that could have been thrown out. Up cycling is the way forward. 😊

Great projects – I really love the project bag!!! I nearly missed this post! I read blogs through bloglovin and they turn post photos foggy when I’ve read the post – so your foggy pic really confused my poor brain! Xxxxx

such pretty projects and the re-purposing is heartwarming. Yes, heartwarming. I hate to see useful things cast aside or sent to the landfill.
The next couple of months will speed by. Blink your eye and it will be January.

I really like the way you are giving new life to old linens. I spent much of my youth embroidering pillow cases and other linens, and these bits in your projects brought fond memories of a relaxing pass time.
