MY CREATIVE SPACE

I have been champing at the bit to show this on my blog.

I joined in on the Op Shop Swap hosted by

Jody Pearl from Re-Inventing fashion blog and Sew Outiside the Lines on Facebook.

I was over the moon with my swap partner Zaranne and feel we were a match made in heaven.

Zaranne loves organic gardening, vintage fabrics, recylcing and reusing.  Right up my alley!

My head was a spin for days,  with ideas galore,  

but in the end I decided on a gardeners apron with pockets full of little treasures.

The apron was made from a thrifted denim dress 

and the binding was a gorgeous vintage child's skirt that was absolutely adorable, 

and I have had it in my stash for ever,  waiting to use for something special just like this.

The pockets were cut from thrifted jeans and I used the belt tabs for to tie stockings on for securing vegetables and holding the vintage scissors.

I included a gorgeous little stone heart.

One of the pockets held a mixture of vegetable seeds, perfect for winter sowing and spring eating and the other had a packet of native wildflowers.

And I engraved silver spoons with the names of different vegetables 

to be used as markers in the garden.

This was so much fun to make and I was tickled pink with how well it came out.

So looking forward to the next swap!
