Vintage fabric squares


These pretty vintage fabric squares have been listed on the website today.
Why not start a collection and sew them together like in the example below. A much cheaper way of having new curtains. Personally I would line them but then it's a personal preference.

Rag Rescue's unique vintage fabric scrappy parcels

When I am cutting out vintage fabric pieces for the scrap bags and squares, I always have some good pieces left over. There is nothing wrong with these pieces but they are too small for the sizes I use. I have therefore decided to sell these as 'scrappy parcels'.

There are twenty pieces of vintage fabric in a scrappy parcel. They are all different shapes and sizes but at least one side is less than four inches.

Ideal for crazy patchwork,cards, journals,trade cards,postcards,memory pieces, buttons jewellery and any other crafts you can think for using small scraps of fabric.

VINTAGE FABRIC SCRAPBAGS NOW LISTED.


My technician has sorted the problem so YIPPEE, the scrapbags have listed.

Rag Rescue down age causes scrapbags to list tomorrow not today - apologies.

I am afraid there was a problem with my website server overnight so that at 7am this morning the website was still down. This meant that the vintage fabric scrapbags didn't list on the website. I have been trying to get in touch with my technician but to no avail I'm afraid so the scrapbags will be listed tomorrow with the items below.
So sorry about this but I'm afraid it is out of my hands at the moment.
The website is now online once again so apart from the missing scrapbags everything is ticky boo.

Vintage hankies go on sale at the Rag Rescue website tomorrow.


Tomorrow, these lovely vintage hankies will be listed on the Rag Rescue website


I found this image on Pinterest and thought it was a great idea for using vintage hankies.


Cut a four-inch square from a hankie. Fold three corners toward the square's center. Hand-stitch the sides together. Turn inside out, press, and sew a button on the flap. Fill with lavender and stitch the flap closed. Read more: Spring Craft Ideas – Easy Spring Crafts and Projects - Country Living
