Domestitchery is where we take a look at how talented people make ordinary domestic items extraordinary through creative needlework.
Where crafting decorating meet you find handmade fabric buntings or garlands. It was only a matter of time before needleworkers got in on the trend, taking these charming decorations to the next level of embellishment.
Sonia Cantié of Cozy Memories stitched these sweet bird themed flags for this garland…
and the words “love,” “live,” “laugh” and flowers for this eclectic garland.
Kelly of the TRANS-CRAFT-INENTAL blog stiched and embellished hearts for her lovely bunting.
Get it? Lovely? Tee hee!
Now have a gander at what The Vintage Cottage has done!
She’s taken vintage embroidered tablecloths that were too damaged to use and turned the pretty embroideries into flags for her bunting!
Nice save, The Vintage Cottage!
Special thanks to Sonia and Mary for their kind consideration and prompt responses!
