Lady Dot's New Vintaged Metallic Baby Tinsel Trim and Charming Tomato Pincushions This is the COOLEST stuff! It is a metallic and cotton mix, but basically miniature, soft, sparkly tinsel! Use it on miniature trees, or to trim ornaments. The red doesn't 'look' overdyed in any way, but it is a gorgeous deep, true, perfect red for anything 4th of July or Christmas - its package contains a 3-yard length. The silver, however has been 'slightly altered' here and there in its lengths, so my package has some areas that are 'tarnished' to look like it came from your Grandma's ornament stash. Parts are clear, shiny, festive silver, and then there is a bit here and there with 'patina.' Just gorgeous, and such a fun way to add personality to your finished pieces! The Silver has two 3-yard lengths in its package. Lois made the cutest little spool tomatoes! Two different options on these, what a pretty gift to present to a stitcher... something colorful and fun to perch on a shelf of stitchery, or just something cute to set on your desk at work to remind you of what stitching bliss awaits you at home after work! The smaller spool - Cherry Tomato, on the left, measures 2-1/2 inches high. A little fabric wound around the spool with that tiny 1-1/2 inch tomato perched on top! A green flower pin and a few more white headed pins finish the look. The larger spool - Garden Fresh - stands 4 inches high, and features that larger spool covered in fabric again. A felt ball is ready for your pins, but it already has a pretty trio of frosted flower pins! Just a touch of color for anywhere you want it! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Trims and Finishing Packets Lady Dot had some fun little treats in her room at market this year!

Yummy Mini Pom Poms! Lady Dot Creates has a beautiful new line of 18 luscious hand-dyed colors of baby-Mini Poms trim! Offered in 2 yard cuts, it is GORGEOUS! Lois has some magical thing on her trim... it's like the pull-string of chain stitching on flour bags -- you pull the string and the 'extra' comes off leaving you a string of baby balls that you can simply tack onto your piece without having to sew it into a seam!!! This requires less planning! You can make your little cushion and THEN add the trim -- not having to fight with attaching it during the finishing. Anyway... 18 luscious colors, they follow the same shades as the chenille - VERY pretty colors!! Presented in continous 2-yard lengths. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Luscious Cotton Chenille Trims Wow... I bet Lady Dot's Lois is in BIG trouble with her mom -- this gorgeous new chenille probably came from the family heirloom bedspread!!! It is a new line of plump, fuzzy, super-soft hand-dyed cotton chenille -- the kind you find on the charming antique bedspreads. Lady Dot has dyed a wonderful array of colors -- the names are delightful and descriptive -- and you'll love how well it covers the edges of your pin cushions and needlework smalls. Packaged in 3-yard lengths... we just love it ALL! Since no two computers see colors exactly the same, we are giving you a close-to-but-not-exact DMC thread number by each package. Please remember, these are only estimates to give you a general idea. You can't hold us, or Lady Dot, to those numbers, because in dyeing, just as in computing, nothing is totally consistent. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Luscious Hand-dyed Cotton Velveteens This is a gorgeous selection of hand-dyed cotton velveteen that is wonderful to use for pin cushion and pillow finishing. Offered in 10 x 18 cuts (each is torn instead of being cut) so you have the straight grain of the fabric. Good heavy hand, when you use crushed walnut shells or something heavy inside your smalls, you will really like the way this heavier finishing fabric feels. Lightweight calico is simply too thin. 32 yummy colors so far! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Lady Dot's Eyelash Trim We have a new style of hand-dyed trim by Lady Dot Creates -- it's 100% cotton, and looks like a fern frond! It's Eyelash -- a thin strand with little 1/4 inch long 'frizzies' coming out from it. I think because it's thin, it'll be best on smaller cushions, it'd be cute as 'grass' beneath stitched bunnies and in little flower gardens. (imagine a sewing case... you open the inside to see a tiny stitched garden, and here is that trim - right in the needlework!) I think you could make darling rabbit tails - use several strands like a tassel fringe. Dyed to match Lady Dot's existing colors, we have six of her most popular colors so far. Algae is a soft green, Licorice -- a dark gray to soft black, Sizzle - that gorgeous rich red, Snow - white. Then we have Vanilla which is a cream and finally Vintage which is ivory and taupe and simply goes with everything! Packaged in 9 yard lengths. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Rayon Ribbon! 9/16 of an inch wide and three yards in length, this soft, shiny ribbon is gorgeous! The solid colors are basically solid -- not blotchy -- just an ever-so-slight color variation here and there. Vintage is the color with the most variation. We use this product to 'rouche' around cushions and ornaments. You'll see it twisted and looped while being anchored with beads -- Shepherd's bush and JBW show a lot of finishing with this treatment, and our Mona uses this technique a lot in her finishing as well. Very soft and easy to work with. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

1/2" Rik Rak! 1/2 Inch cotton trim - cotton takes the dye differently, so colors look more relaxed and sometimes softer and more 'faded' (even though that is not the case.) You can sew rik-rak right into your seam or tack it on with more of the glass beads. Offered in 3-yard lengths. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7/32" Baby Rik Rak! 7/32" cotton trim - cotton takes the dye differently, so colors look more relaxed and sometimes softer and more 'faded' (even though that is not the case.) You can sew rik-rak right into your seam or tack it on with more of the glass beads. Offered in 3-yard lengths. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Osnaburg Fabric with Matching Twill Tape Trim We have 12 new sets of heavy-weight hand-dyed cotton Osnaburg fabric and matching 1/4 inch cotton tape that Lois from Lady Dot has dyed. Soft, dusty colors, nothing specifically calls for these, but they were pretty, and so I bought them! (We loved the color names, too...but grape jelly reminds us that this is a soft and dusty color palette.) 3 yards of Tape along with a 22 x 18 cut of the fabric, you can make several smalls out of each packet. Most of the tapes are head-on matches to the fabrics, a few are slightly differed in shade, but all coordinate beautifully - even across the collection. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Limited Edition Finishing Packs We don't know how Lois has the time to assemble her cute assortments of finishing fabrics and trims, but she's presented us with 2 different packs that we'll have for just a few weeks. Broom With a View contains 3 of ther hand-dyed velveteens, 5 different ribbon trims and a little haunted house charm. The idea is to provide you a coordinating color assortment who when you are finishing a set of cushions or ornaments - you have enough to finish your set with complimentary colors. Note: Supply on these is limited! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
School Bus Vintage Oh I LOVE this twill ribbon! Lois has taken twill tape that is printed with inches and centimeters, dyed it a mustard yellow, and then made it grungy... kind of like if the schoolbus ran over it! SUPER cute as a decorative band across a sewing tote or pin cushion... you could make a tiny carrying tab to stick out of a pouch side, use it for a zipper pull... just anything! It's 100% cotton, 1/2 an inch wide, and you have 2 yards in the package to play with! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Hand-dyed Cotton and Wool Flannel for Needle Pages and Finishing Lady Dot is now offering cuts of hand-dyed 56ct cotton that is wonderful to use for needle pages inside your needle and sewing cases! The pieces measure about 17-1/2 x 18 and come in a vanilla (cream) color or snow (white.) You want these because the material is heavy and substantial -- not see-through and sheer -- and your needles will be very happy and safe poked into it. Not to mention how perfectly straight it is, and how nice it will look inside your things! Doctor's Flannel is also new. It is 100% wool, a yellower *natural* color. These cuts are 9 x 15... something else dreamy to line your stitched pieces!!!!! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
