A. “Haberdashery Treasures” Sewing Folder

We have gone all out to create a very useful project incorporating lovely soft fabrics and beautiful vintage-style haberdashery items, an ideal canvas for your precious vintage haberdashery. Embroidered ribbon, embroidered braid, silk ribbons wide netted lace, scalloped guipure, lace edging, lace motif, a large tassel and antique-style buttons all work together to create an exquisite, heirloom sewing folder. Make it for yourself to store your most precious needlework items, and make sure your grand-children or special ones in your family know that this is something truly special, something to remind them of you, long after you are gone. Why not tuck a little note inside with a special message for whoever inherits this lovely piece? Alternatively, make it for a special friend, someone you really treasure, as shown in the embroidered message on the front of the folder. You could also make several for people in your sewing group, using any of the Haberdashery Treasures packs, along with individual pieces from your stash. You could vary the message on the front of the folder by using different words, an embroidered monogram, or a vintage-style motif or printed image. Personalizing this project is a lovely way to make it uniquely your own. If you scroll through the pictures, right to the end, you will see an example of varying the front of the folder by using a vintage-style motif, surrounded by embroidery, lace and charms. Lovely ideas for varying your folder.
