Fabric Pocket Page by Maggie White

 

Good morning friends, Maggie here today to share with you my next DT project for

Shabby is Chic Boutique Store on Facebook. This time I have created a fabric pocket page.

 

 

To start my project, I took a padded square of fabric and added the wide white Venise lace trim to cover the fabric.  I then glued on the white stretch lace from SCB around the sides and top.  I then added the white tassel lace to the bottom of the square as well as the white Venise Lace over that.  I glued on the tiny green clay flowers from my stash onto the middle of each piece of the lace trim.

 

 

Next, I folded the square in half to finish off the front.  I took one of the embroidered round applique and glued the image behind and then added the tiny pink clay flowers from my stash.  I glued the applique onto a piece of the embroidered polka dot tulle that I turned into a flower with a running stitch and adhered to the top middle of the square.

I created 2 small flowers with the stretch lace the same as the tulle, with a running stitch that I dyed with green tea.  I added a piece of the tassel trim to the back of each which I also had tea dyed to dangle from the flowers.  Lastly, I added a pearl and beaded flower piece from my stash to the center of each flower and glued them on the lower right corner of the book.  

 

I added some white seam binding to the middle of each side for tying the book together.  I then covered the inside of the book with some stretchy white flowered fabric from my stash.  I then glued down a piece of the pink embroidered tulle flower trim across the bottom to make the pockets.  I added the white lace to the very bottom.  Lastly, I added the Chinese braid to the sides and top.

 

 

I hope you have enjoyed my project today, and please stop by the Shabby is Chic Boutique store on Facebook to check out all the great items in stock!

Shabby Blue Book Box by DT Member Kim C.

 

Welcome to this weeks project!

I have altered a wooden book box.

I have used some new and old items for Shabby is Chic Boutique on this box.

 

 

 

This first thing I did was gesso the whole box.  I then added pattern paper, which I love the brown and blue together.  I took the blue paper and curled it back to show a paper doily, a small fabric doily, a metal key, a small ivory rose resin piece, and a flat back pearl heart.  I then added a large applique along with some flat back self adhesive pearl trim.

 

 

I then decorated on top of the applique with some paper flowers, dangle trim, heart shaped wooden button, a flat back pearl heart, more ivory resin roses, an organza fabric flower, leave appliques, metal spoon, a rose colored metal bow and some pearl garland trim.

 

 

I then added some lace trim, pearl trim and resin rose pieces to what would be the pages of a book.  I then added some dangle trim and pearl trim to the spine of the book.

 

 

I love the way this book box turned out.  I hope you like what I have created this week.  I have one more project to go before my term is up.  I have so much enjoyed being apart of the Shabby is Chic Boutique Design Team.  I would like to thank Amy Love for asking me to be apart of it.

Thank you so much!!

Shabby Drawstring Bags by DT Member Karen

 

Shabby is Chic Boutique

Altered Drawstring Bag

 

Good morning friends, Karen here today to share my next DT project for Shabby is Chic Boutique on Facebook.

 

I absolutely love this project it is so pretty and useful,

Such a lovely little bag to send with a special little gift.

To make this project I pulled out some gathered trims from my stash and a fabric image then used the trims from my Design Team kit.

I started on the reverse and started at the bottom and worked my way up layering various trims from my design team kit and from my own stash to give the full and varied finish.

The trim at the bottom I removed the chiffon petals and the pearls (I felt the pearls didn’t do the trim justice) and added nice flat back pearls to give it a more elegant look. I then threaded the tassel on the corner to give the bag a little bit more length.

The top trim is a elasticated gather so it will be flexible to move with the drawstring.

The front I added this gorgeous linen fabric image using pva glue. And then framed the image using trims and pearl and rhinestone trim also, the small resin rose I added to her hair.

 

I have added a chiffon flower that I took out from the trim and added it to the front corner at the tassel and added a pearl and rhinestone flower center.

Bridal Heart Pillow by DT Member Suzie

Good morning all, Suzie here today to share my next DT project for Shabby is Chic Boutique on Facebook. This time I have created a lovely and shabby bridal pillow.  This heart is 11 inches wide and 8 inches tall making it a beautiful size for a bride or shower gift!

 

 

 

To start off my project, I  created a very large heart from scratch. The base is made from my personal template with cotton fabric, hand sewn and stuffed. I've used a large piece of white fabric lace from the SCB store over top front and back for a finished look.

 

 

 Using some vintage laces around the heart, I've hand ruffed the entire trim adding the pearl and rhinestone trim as the accent. I've also used some of the narrow trim lace along with seam binding to create the double bow at the bottom center.

 

 

 I made two taffeta fabric roses in off white, and used one flat rosette of the same fabric. Then I added three large mulberry paper roses and some of my loose pears from my stash.

 

 

  Lastly, I added the gorgeous heart flat back hearts with the rhinestone accent from the SCB store as well. The heart has streamers of ribbon and pearl at the base for a finishing touch!   This is the my personal signature style of how I do my heart pillows and sachets!
