Sing the Blues, fabric inspiration box.

Image
I like the idea of making up some boxes of inspiring bits and pieces,so here is the first one. I have cover an oval box with blue fabric and added some pretty embellishments. The inside is lined with vintage music pages. I have chosen different pieces of blue fabric, some coffee dyed lace and a croqueted doily. There's a tag with some of my handcut dyed silk ribbon and a fabric transfer picture. Everything to inspire you for a pretty 'Blue' project.... and little blue heart in lovely vintage style fabric to finish. Find this in my Etsy shop today.

I have added some inspiring texts on some of the pages and pockets to hold those essential supplies.                         More pockets and pretty trims.                              Little packs of lace and hand dyed crinkled ribbon.                                The back co...
