A New Sewing Machine Lid

Yesterday I went to Antwerp / Belgium.

And there I saw the perfect sewing machine lid for

my haberdashery shop!

The lid is in super condition! No marks or woodworms!

I bought it directly. I promised Wim and Maritza van Soest to do

a nice haberdashery shop and to send photos of the shop.

I am really happy about the new lid. And now I can say good bye to the

old one!!!

The shop front matchs also to the lid. I like the decoration on the glass.

I will save the name Naumann and cut the hole on the back.

I am not sure about the colour of the front side. Any ideas???

Die kleine Puppenschneiderei / Litte Doll's Dressmaker Kit

For my toy shop I have done a doll's dressmaker kit.

On the internet I was searching for images which I can use for this project.

I was happy to find one. My next problem was to find a 

red fabric with tiny tiny white dots...... and a naked baby doll. 

I am really happy about the result.

When I was a child I had a little sewing machine. 

Now I am searching for little sewing machine

which I can put later in my haberdashery shop..

Greeting from the Belgium seaside

Haberdashery Swap

Here is a photo of my haberdashery swap.

I have done a little cross stitch kit (with a tiny needle, fabric and thread),

a measuring tape, a leaflet for a Singer sewing machine

and printables for the haberdashery shop / hobby room.

I hope my swap partners like my swap.

Have a nice day

Displays for my Haberdashery Shop - Cameo-Brooch

 

 

Lock what I found....... a cameo brooch!

 

The height of the brooch is about 7 cm. I will use the cameo as a picture in the French House.

 

From the ornaments I have done little displays for my haberdashery shop.

 

Maybe I can do a lamp from the remaining ornaments.

Happy Easter / Vintage Sewing Trade Card

HAPPY ESTER TO EVERYONE!

 

This antique Easter image comes from a late 1800′s trade card for J. & P. Coats thread.

I like this cute vintage sewing card. I will use it also for my haberdashery shop!

Sewing Machine Lid

 

Here are some photos of my wooden sewing machine lid.

I bought it for 5 euros in a Belgium charity shop.

The "roof" is damage and the box has nicks and scratches all over it.

First I thought it is a very big box.....but now with furniture......
I am not sure if I use wallpaper with patterns/images because
I am afraid that it is maybe to much (all the little details/sewing articles).

but so I have time to assemble some kits.

 

I have finished

 

3 boxes of Pryms snap-fasteners

each box is 1,5 x 2,3 x 0,5 cm

and each box contains 3 button cards.

I glued 36 breads on each card.....altogether 324 breads.

Sideboard part 2

I have finished my sideboard. I used a nail for some scratches so the sideboard looks older.
In each drawer are 4 different bolts of fabric.
Have a great day

Sideboard Part 1 and a question

Here is an update of my sideboard. It is now "dirty-white" and I really like the glass (plastic) front.
For the sideboard I will do fabric bolts......

I am searching for some old photos of Paris. Do you have some tips where I can find some? I will do a window...

Have a great day

Knitting Case and Furniture

I have a lot of old furniture in my storage. I will use them in my haberdashery shop. Counter and chest of drawers are from my old baby shop (they are cream). The table is for my lace pillow.

What do you think about this knitting case?

Maybe a project for my shop.
