Playing with my Amish Linens

Hello friends...yes, I know...I'm posting AGAIN! I just feel like sharing everything I am doing in my studio. I know so many of you have similar interests and a love for fabric, vintage and finding new ways of putting them all together.
This is what I just worked on. Remember my Amish trip, when I found all those fabulous vintage linens ? I've embellished a few of my couture aprons with some of them and today I cut up a few to incorporate into some lovely clutches. 
 Of course I lined them with some pretty striped designer remnants. I also used this strip for the backside of my clutch. The designer fabrics have a nice texture and sturdiness to them. I love the pale lavender zipper.
Wow...just look at the gorgeous french knots and the beautiful satin stitching. Thank you lovely lady of yesteryear who must of had the patience of a saint to sit and create handwork like this. I bow to the master!
So that's what I am doing today...what have you got cooking??
Until next time...be kind and stay creative.
