Fun with Mini Sewing...........


This is a canvas covered with fabric, and then I used Maya Road mini sew chipboard set to decorate the canvas, and a page from the large dress form book. I love using lace and fabric in my work. This is actually so easy to do, I sprayed the scissors and needle with silver maya mist and wrapped thread around the chipboard bobbin, and I just covered the 2 dress forms with vintage book paper. The two frames are also from maya road, painted with ranger paints.


Well Have a great day!
And don't for get that I do sell my vintage ephemera that I used in my classes and then some on my etsy site LaurasVintageGarden and I am having a sale right now.

Canvas...canvas....canvas....






I love all the canvas albums that companies are coming out with, I just love working with material. If you know me then you know I must have been a seamstress in a past life. I love working with fabric in my scrapbooks, and ribbon and making my own flowers. So when I got a chance to play with canvas and scrapping I feel in love, I've been printing my ephemera on canvas for years so they just seem to fit. You know you can run just plain muslin thru you printer too, I iron it on the back of freezer paper to give it the body it needs and just print, for me it always works like a charm. For this project I just sent canvas thru the printer, and yes I know they make the stuff to go thru the printers but, some times you just don't have that on hand. Here's a Maya Road Banner that I printed on canvas then use fabric tac to glue is all to gether.
Ok sorry It will not let me move the pictures the way I want to. For those of you who are afraid of canvas please don't be, I did treat this like paper. I glued embellies to it just like I would any other book, I just used fabric tac.
Have a great day
