I have to admit it, I’m a bit of a trim-aholic.
So when I spotted a multi-coloured scraps-and-trims de-stash listing on Etsy recently, I just couldn’t resist.
They’re only tiny bits, but perfect for pockets!
The only problem is, there’s only enough giant yellow ric rac for one pocket, not two.
So I think the pockets on my skirt-in-progress might end up being a bit of a mix & match affair, rather than identical twins.
One happy surprise though, I found something in my button jar that I forgot I had…
Bought on the other side of the world from the fabric, and over a year before my apple skirt was even a twinkle in my eye, it’s funny how things come together.
Some trims are just meant to be. ♥
NO WAY!! That button is just perfect! Nice little trim & scrap selection too…have a lovely day! xx
Same to you Rachel! Not long now until your birthday… 😉
Trim triminy indeed. Strange how many times similar has happened to me!…..we are magpies but coordinated ones maybe?….this is also why I can never throw anything away,no matter how small. Arrrgh! X
I do have throwing-away clear-outs from time to time, but sometimes I do regret throwing stuff out. The other day I binned a bit of white cotton that had been on the floor and got dirty. I thought “it’s too small to wash and keep”. Then the next day I needed a bit of scrap cotton to practise a machine buttonhole on!
and what about a special pocket or patch made with the trims appliquéd in strips together?
It would look lovely, true, but seems a bit profligate to use all my little trim stash on just one pocket!
Such gorgeous trims and that apple button is just perfect. Sarah x
That apple button brings back memories. I’m sure I had the exact same ones on the pockets of a skirt growing up in the 70s, Perth, Western Australia 😀
Oooh those trims are pretty! I’m sure they will be put to good use and how PERFECT is that button??? Fantastic!
