- Discover a world of sewing inspiration with these antique treasures! • Get Ready for SEWING I... . From delicate lace to beautiful textiles, I hope this fabric haul will spark your creativity and inspire your next slow stitching project.
Join me as I decide how to upcycle antique lace and textiles into beautiful new creations. Let's turn old pieces into something amazing! This Cornish crafter's dream is all about creating unique pieces from vintage fabric and textiles. All made in my little cottage in Cornwall, here in the English Countryside.
Antique textiles, antique lace, vintage fabric, vintage textiles.
Oh my gosh❤how lovely. Lace is so special. Worn for everyday, wedding day, decor, and keeping flies out of pots , yes lace is special. I have handmade lace by my grandmothers hands. I treasure it. She made a giant lace tablecloth out of fine thread. She was skilled. 😀
Oh, she was a very clever lady! So lovely to hear you have a piece of her handy work to keep and treasure. Who do you think you get your love for treasure-hunting from Brun?
@ my grandmother Kate, had a home full of interesting things, it was a small house in a country town and had trinkets every shelf, I get it from all of the memories she gave. Every item has story even the wooden spoon🤣and she always let me touch anything I wanted to hold as a child. So I like all sorts of old interesting things, every rock, every thing I unearth or discover in an old store etc, old artwork, old fabrics. Old furniture etc everything has a story to me😀
You're so right about everything old having a story to tell. I LOVE that about old things! Your Grandmother sounds like a great person to have known as well as an inspiration to you. D x
Hi dawn! Oh wow you’re so lucky to have markets like that in the UK! I wish we had more vintage treasures like this in Aus. All the lace and fabric you found is gorgeous! I’m excited to see what you make with it all 😊
Thanks for watching Karla. Yes, I'm a bit spoilt here by the sounds of it. You know how it is - loads of ideas flying around in your head all the time and every time you see something new you get another handful of ideas! I'll keep checking out your channel to see your quilts and refashioning! Dawn x
@ yes I can totally relate! I always have so many ideas! 💡 watching this video of your lovely lace and fabric finds inspired me to have a play with my lace and doilies this morning ☺️
Ideal! 😊
How fortunate you’re to live in such a beautiful place and being able to find such gorgeous treasures! So kind to share, thank you.
Hello Elia. Yes, we are. We live in a little cottage in Cornwall. We don't have very much on our doorstep, which means we have to travel to go to any fairs - but that just adds to the adventure and makes me ridiculously excited when I'm able to find old fabric and paper...! Thanks for joining me. D x.
Oh my gosh! Everything is lovely. I would call it a good day.
Thank you Sandy - it's difficult to know if anyone else loves the same things as I do - so I appreciate you commenting! Take care, Dawn x
@@AtHomeInCornwall Well I certainly love the same things. I can’t wait to see what you do with all your goodies. I am currently using my linens and lace in little books that I will give to special people in my life. Ps. The thrill of the hunt is always fun. Sometimes I think I enjoy collecting bits and pieces more than I like making things🤦♀️
@@sandybates2366 😊 😊 😊
Loved everything….but when I saw your sewing machine that really made my heart light up……have one that’s looks it which was my mother’s….very special 🌸
Ahhh, yes Linda they are special little things, aren't they? Mine is showing plenty of wear, but that's good that it's been used a lot, isn't it? Lovely to have your Mother's - it makes it a real treasure x
Nice!
Thank you Marilyn 😊
I love the gold all of actually, the really fine stuff ,, so envious ❤❤❤❤
Isn't it beautiful? Can't believe how lucky I was to find it. D x
Just found your blog and am in love with your treasure chest- can’t wait to see more ❤
Thank you Pam. If you are happy to watch, then I'm happy to show more - thanks for the encouragement! D x
Dawn: Just found you. Very good looking fabrics and lace. Even the items you didn’t want were good looking. I’m interested in seeing what you will do with them. Carol from California
Hi Carol. Lovely to have you join us! Best wishes from Cornwall, England all the way to California. D x
Beautiful fabric and laces. Tea dye bright fabric. Repair the bag it is gorgeous ❤
Of course - you're right - I LOVE to tea dye anything I can get my hands on - sounds as though you are the same - and that would definitely give it a muted look, right up our street! Clever idea Lisa. D x.
Sorry Pam, I was talking to a friend called Lisa 2 minutes ago - I meant clever idea PAM - (I'm a doh!) D xxx
Just found you Dawn! Lovely fabrics and laces and it has just come at the right time. I've had a big house move from Kent to Wiltshire and the garage is full of trunks and suitcases just bursting with vintage laces and fabrics! Have subscribed!
Hi Jacqui. That's amazing - you have so much fun ahead of you! I'll try to keep popping ideas on to You Tube for you. As with everyone, time is my main hurdle, so I'll try my best. D x
I adore antique lace and textiles. Have collected since my teens.
Hi Joy. It's funny isn't it, how you look back and realise you've been in love with something from an early age? When my friends were buying trendy clothes, I was buying old lace and buttons instead! Thanks for your comment, it keeps me inspired. D x
Such lovely items!
Thank you Cathie, hope you have a lovely weekend and you can fit in some sewing or something else relaxing. D x
Love your beautiful treasures! So fun to shop for such finds!
Hi Mary, nice to have you with us. Yes, I hope it doesn't sounds as though I'm bragging - I just get so excited!!! D x
Love the little houses. What will you use them for? Decorations? You found some lovely things. ❤❤❤
Hi Pammi. Yes, I will hang them around as part of my Christmas decorations. D x
Just found your channel, what a delight and refreshing to watch. I have a old Singer 1930s and 1954.
Hi - aren't the old Singers just beautiful? I hope you get as much pleasure using yours as I do mine. I'm feeling like I could start sewing for Christmas in earnest now! You? D x
Wonderful find , thank you for sharing. 🪡🧵♥️
Hi Lisa - glad to have you with us. Thanks for your comment - I can hardly believe anyone wants to hear me ramble on, so I mean it when I say your encouragement means a lot to me! D x
Beautiful finds! Just joined .
Love your sewing machine ,I have one just like it ❤
Hi - thanks for joining us. Oh that's lovely that there are others out there that are equally as loved - I'm hoping mine will last another 80 years or so - if so, I can pass it on to another avid sewer in the future! Happy sewing! D x
You didn't go badly at all😂everything 's so beautiful...those laces😍and finding the same fabric you loved... so lucky! Those goodies would make an Italian girl happy,too😅I like that little frame with the tree,I would like to see how you made that. Thank you very much for sharing ❤
Hello from a Cornish girl to an Italian one! Yes, I feel very lucky. I'll put together another tree in a frame so you can see how easy it was and make one for yourself. D x
Wow what an amazing haul of wonderful goodies I am so jealous, enjoy using all the beautiful pieces. Xxx
Oh thank you! I have so many ideas in my head I want to stitch and now I think I have enough goodies to keep me going for a while... Happy stitching Jenny. D x

Hi - yes, I really need to turn the camera on when I'm actually sewing, don't I?! Will do my best. D x
Looking forward to being able to say I was subscriber 354 when you hit 100k! Which you will- you are lovely!
Was great to vivariously enjoy your finds - thank you for sharing! If you do another, could we see the fabrics and laces just a little more clearly/closely? So many of those pieces were so interesting!
Oh brilliant! Glad you liked the fabric and lace - I'm worried about boring everyone so I try to reign it in a bit (!) but yes, I'd love to show you more detail in future videos. Number 354, huh? I'll be glad if I hit 500! Thanks for your encouragement. D x
@@AtHomeInCornwall lol i can understand the worry, but really, anyone who stays past the first minute or two of any fabric/art/trhifty haul WANTS TO SEE what you found! 😅
Btw- your home decor (what we've glimpsed so far) is gorgeous! Very inspiring!
Oh that's very nice of you. Thank you. Lots for me to show you in the coming weeks hopefully x.
