Make-Dos in Red

This Make-Do is made from red raw silk.
Two of the smaller strawberries and the scissors keep
are made from red nubby linen. I lightly antiqued the fabrics.
The petals are made from over-dyed pretty green wool.
I embroidered the strawberries with tiny little beads.
[My fingers are still hurting, ha ha.]
If you look closely, you will see that the beads are different colors.
The big strawberry sits on an antique pewter basket.
I turned the handle down to create a place for the scissors keep.



A close-up of the Make-Do.
I added a pin and a vintage button.



The scissor keep holds a little vintage scissors.

Sold.
Thank you



These are the little treasure in a basket Make-Do.
They are little vintage sewing notions.



This sweet birdie sits on a vintage basket.
She is made from brushed flannel, with wings and tail
made from old silk and embroidered.
I made the nest from scraps of wool, linen, ribbons etc.



All the little strawberries are painted and antiqued fabric.
They are embroidered.

Sold.
Thank you.


This last Make-Do sits on an old hog scraper.
It is made from antique homespun linen
and fine antique brown fabric.
I embroidered the seams in dark brown and red.
There is a tiny red raw silk ruffle to highlight
the Make-Do.



The "heart in hand" glove is a pin keep.
Untie the ribbon and undo a snap,
and you will find needles.



A view of the small strawberries on top of the Make-Do.
They are made from linen and raw silk and have
tiny beads.
The leaves are soft green over-dyed wool.

Thank you.

Enjoy,
God bless, Evi
