Paper fabric bag - side 2

A similar treatment for the second side. This time I used paper art doll shapes, organza hearts and more free machine stitching

Fabric paper clutch - part3

A few buttons

Free machine stitched flowers and trailing vines

Some treatment of the bee with copper paint

Paper fabric clutch part 2

I was going for a light and summery theme so I wanted a focal point that reflected the cobwebby stitching. I had a collection of wallpaper samples and amid them was a piece of farrow and ball bumblebee so I cut one bee out and added it to the background

I then stiched over it with light coloured thread and added pieces of offcut organza left over from burnt rose making to add splashes of colour

more work with paper fabric part 1

I recently rediscovered the scrap paper paper that I did last year and have decided to turn it into paper fabric to make a clutch purse for special days out. It will be quite large, A4 or there abouts but still quite slim so I will have to invest in a wallet style purse to go with it.

I started off by free machining the paper in various threads, pale greys, yellow, pinks and light greens
