The Lotus Rose

Supplies are the best selling items on Etsy. Supply shops have the most sales on Etsy. I sell more fabric squares (supplies) in sosovintage than anything else. I wonder why it's taken me so long to realize I should offer some sort of supply in sosorosey?

I have been working hard to create a flower applique that suits my shop aesthetic; something classic, elegant, and simple. A flower you'd want to add to a pillow or tote bag to make it extra special. One you'd want to wear on a shoulder strap or headband.

I chose to work in natural cotton string for its unique look and texture. It's interesting without being overpowering. Adding a vintage button in the center will ensure that every one that I make will be a one-of-a-kind treasure. This is the first of what I hope will be many. What do you think?

Makeover Monday: 11/30

I started with an ordinary ball of cotton string...
~*~ ...threw in some festive metallic crochet thread...

...and voila! Natural feeling and sassy looking at the same time, these new stars measure 3.25" across. Aren't they fun? They will be sold in sets of 3 in sosorosey very soon!

Happy Monday!

Buttony Baggy

In case you haven't noticed, I've been fascinated with crocheting more than yarn and fabric lately. After the jute t*wine bag, I decided to try my hand at making a dainty gadget bag- out of cotton twine (ok- string).

I added the ruffle at the top for a feminine touch, and then went for all out whimsy with the button ends. The inner portion of the bag is 4" long by 3" wide- perfect for a cell or small camera. Now I see a wonderful use for all of the single and vintage buttons I have been hoarding! Any idea what color combo I should try next?
