I've worked with many different forms of art medium over the years and finally found my 'niche' with fabrics/textiles, trims and such. I LOVE vintage fabrics and trims but have found that so many have not aged well---dry rot is a particular problem if the item wasn't stored properly! And yet, while the overall condition of the item is questionable, there are still many good sections that can be reclaimed to create something beautiful. And that's what I try to do with my purses---use vintage fabrics, trims and more to create something useful from something no longer useable.
And I'm in love with all periods of vintage clothing, although I do favor the 1930's - 1970's (and maybe some 80's too--those clothes are crazy cool!)
I will be blogging as much as possible and hope your will enjoy my posts and follow me here and elsewhere. I will be posting tips on removing stains that seem permanent as well as things like conversion charts comparing vintage sizing to current day sizes.
There will be instructional posts on how to make purses from worn-out vintage clothing and so much more!
Please consider joining my blog as we take a walk down this adventure we call life!
God Bless all and any who read this,
Pat, My Kitschy Closet
