Thank you so much for sharing that glorious piece of clothing you crafted - I have ideas whirling around my head! I love collecting op shop embroidered, crochet and lace treasures and using them in my stitchery which I also share videos on. Definitely a kindred spirit in enjoying giving old pieces of hand crafted beauty a second life. Cheers, Christine

[@artfiberstitch]

That is fabulous Christine. My grandmother was big into creating all those things. I love love love browsing through the op shop for old hand made pieces too. We are definitely kindred spirits! ❤️

Thank you Sue

[@valeriesmith3388]

Soo gorgeous! I've got a passion for trying this now.
I started working on paper with oil pastels, letting my intuition lead the way. And then I applied on fabric using the same technique and stitching.
What fun! Thank you Traci!❤

[@artfiberstitch]

Thanks Valerie, don’t you love the way that all the things you love doing can come together in a project! I have pastels … must play!

Just gorgeous eye candy! Do you launder the pieces you find or use as is…stains and all?

[@artfiberstitch]

Both! Sometimes I really like the old yellowed and stained laces. !

[@juliegolub2602]

Beautiful. I just found some doilies at a thrift store. I love your idea. Have you ever made a napkin doll on fabric? You make a skirt with the napkin, the add another fabric for her bodice and head/hat. Would love to see your ideas.

[@artfiberstitch]

Hi Julie 👋. I have just had to try and look up Napkin Dolls to see what they are. I can remember my grandmother making swans and bunnies and such from cloth napkins. I will think on it 🤔❤️

[@juliegolub2602]

If you decide to try making a napkin doll, I definitely look forward to watching.

[@regianes73]

Adorei seu trabalho meus parabéns Dicas excelente ❤

[@artfiberstitch]

Thank you 🙏 ❤

[@natashahandley9754]

Without sewing the doilies how would you recommend attaching them to a solid piece of fabric?

[@artfiberstitch]

Hard to know what to say, would depend on the use of the fabric afterward, and the doilies themselves. You could always try a fusible web
