Click on the photo for a closer view, as this wrap is cream on cream. It's made of jacquard silk, with added laces and ribbons and covered with net. I've quilted it with a leaf pattern. This is a gift for my friend Bronwen, and because she likes nice things in neutral colours, I am making this a very classy wrap. I'll trim the loose hanging edges of fabric, and maybe even sew around the edges. Then I'll have to find a toning fastener for it.
Then I'm going to use the same technique to make a clutch purse. What do you think? Would YOU use a silk purse ? Give me your thoughts.
wow you ARE having fun! These are lovely. So you have decided to take the plunge! How long do you have to wait before it is all systems go?
ReplyDeleteDefinitely - for special occasions.
ReplyDeleteThe wrap is fantastic, especially the close up detail - I can see this going down a treat for bridal accessories.
Ooh, this is beautiful, Shirley! Very elegant.
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely. It would make a superb wedding purse!
ReplyDeleteThese wraps are beautiful Shirley and just right for a special occasion. I have spent this evening catching up on your blog and now feel I have got to know you a bit better. I've enjoyed your sense of humour and your sweet dogs not to mention all the beautiful sky photos. Be good to yourself this weekend. x
