Sewing Eye Candy

Isn't that just the cutest label you have seen?  This Tatrim sew-on trim, a timesaver for those who didn't have time to crochet or tat their own edgings.  It must have seemed like a gift from Heaven for overworked mothers.




Here is another beauty.  Just look at those colors!  Both on the label and the trim.  Yummy yellow and lavendar folded bias.  Someone generously changed  the amount listing when they used a yard.

This seems like a good place for a shout-out to fabrics.net  Here is a Bias Tape and Notions Reference Chart. listing manufacturers and products.  What a great resource!  The only thing I would add is a time-line.  If you look at the top corner of the page you will find many more articles about vintage trim.  You could browse this site all day.  I will be featuring more trims in the future.

  1. Those labels are divine and the lemon and lavender striping is lovely, I'm going to add that combination to a children's project. Thanks for the link, I've inherited some old bits of ribbon and binding so that may well come in handy!
