HELP- need an idea
My cousins daughter got married last month. she has a piece of lace that's 14" wide and about 32-36 inches. what can I make for her??? All ideas welcome. it's to short and to wide to make a pillow, so I need a lot of help here. thanks in advance.

What if you use it over a different color & shape it as a heart? Applique this to a background fabric and on the background fabric, write their names and the wedding date. Frame it and present it, or quilt it with a hanging sleeve for them to hang in their home. You could actually make the pillow that you talked about.
|
Is it from her wedding dress?
What about saving it to use in a Christening gown? |
Bed runner with added fabric? Cover for a wedding album? What kind of lace?
|
the lace is 14" wide by about a yard. I may have to cut the lace down and put a pic of them with the wedding invite and cut a small piece of lace. add some flat sided peals and call it a day.
what do you think? |
Get a piece of linen, trim with the lace and make an "heirloom baby bonnet". My children used theirs at their weddings.
|
Cover a few coat hangers with it. They could be adult or baby or a mixture. They will be a constant reminder and could protect special outfits.
|
Does she have a special doll she grew up with that you could make a bridal dress for? I have a couple of dolls that I am using my wedding dress to make wedding dresses to give to my two granddaughters. Just a thought.
|
Cover a photo album for pictures from the wedding.
|
Make a display for them to hang in their new home. Put the lace over a plain color used in the wedding. Mount an invitation and other memorabilia from the wedding or a picture of them. Embroidery the date and place on a piece of plain fabric (maybe heart shape). Frame it with a long 32 x 12 frame. Even a shadow box if there is anything 3d that you want to put in the frame.
|
Cut out a square or rectangular pillow the color of their bedroom or the color of the bridesmaids dresses. Then sew the lace down, using mitered corners so that it resembles a picture frame. Then you can either embroider some of the flowers from the bouquet or put a (picture on fabric) of the couple in the center of the pillow.

Similar to my thoughts.

Use it in crazy quilt blocks. Small crazy quilt blocks with a wedding photo on fabric would make a lovely wall hanging. Can you get some of the bridesmaid dress fabric, or something close, to go with it?
|
Thanks everyone. I think i'll so a collage in a frame for them. use some scrapbooking supplies, and stuff like that.

You could make a wall hanging with it as the centerpiece; maybe cut in an oval, and embellish it or make it a one piece quilted fancy
|
it's from her veil. I suggested something for the baby, but you know i'll be making it.
I just threw out all my scrapbooking stuff. now I wish I had my oval cutter. i'll make due. |
Maybe a table runner or one to go on their dresser.
