wall mosaic decorates sewing corner, 1966
from "better homes and gardens stitchery and crafts", 1966
cheerful sewing corner, 1968
how cute is this sewing room? i just love the mix of crafts (all made from mc call's patterns & mail order kits) and modern furniture. and don't get me started on the pink and green color combo. and in case you were wondering that dress (on the dressmaker form with that clever pincushion finial) was made from mc call's pattern #9026.
(from "mc call's needlework & crafts" spring/summer 1968)
ABOUT
- i draw inspiration for my work from vintage crafts + design, particularly of the 60s + 70s. please think of this blog as a sketchbook where i share my inspirations + observations (as opposed to providing instructions, patterns + sources for craft supplies). i do not make copies of anything from my collection and am unable to respond individually to such requests. thanks!
