Between tearing the fabric and cutting it with pinking shears, it created a time worn look, which I love! I stitched it in place along with some discarded scraps of thread, then added a few more bits behind where the rabbit parcel would be. The “Second Class Air Mail” fit with the theme I was thinking, and became an embellishment all it’s own. I tore some interesting bits from the fabric which included the piece to the left of the tag. No rhyme or reason to where a background piece goes, just playing with the bits and pieces and letting the pieces fall where they may, then running them through your sewing machine. This type of project reminds me of a crazy quilt. To create the fabric tag background, I dug through my piles of scraps that included vintage lace, denim, cotton batting and tore some pieces of the correspondence fabric, then stitched them very randomly onto a base strip of fabric. I made several tags and labels ahead and thought it worked perfect as a little shipping tag. The tag that the rabbit is tied to, you’ll notice is from a recent blog post I shared. I made this by using several little bits of things that I had laying on my table from some recent dabbles & creative play. The fabric is called Correspondence Letters, and one that I’ve had in my fabric stash for awhile. This is my latest creation with the fabric…a #8 Etcetera tag featuring a new idea-ology Salvaged Rabbit. He shared a couple of my makes, so I thought I’d give you a closer look at one of my newest, and that maybe you would be inspired to try using them in your own creations. I just love how his fabrics coordinate with all of his brands and make it so easy to blend them into any and all sorts of mixed media projects. Today, Tim shared several collections from his fabric lines throughout the years, some retired and some available now. I treasure those memories and am always reminded of them whenever I touch, hold, or even smell cotton fabric. Even the scent of the fabric that lingered in the air from the steam of the iron…there is nothing like it. My moms collection of cut fabric pieces awaiting the iron, to be flatted out and used for creating quilted book covers, ornaments or any other project she had a mind to make. Her cut out pieces for her unique outfits all pinned together in a stack waiting for their creative moment. My wonderful memories of sitting next to my grandma and her sewing machine and watching as she stitched on her quilts. So my earliest memories, the ones that are near and dear to my heart, always center around making, creating, sewing and collecting fabrics & sewing notions. My grandma was a quilter and seamstress, my mother, a crafter and who dabbled in many different crafts that called for stacks and stacks of cotton fabric. I have always had a thing for cotton fabric. It is so cool to hear the backstory of how a product came to be, but even more exciting when Tim shares it…he is such a great story teller!
