Have a Vintage Christmas with Simply Vintage

This week Melissa is launching the very special Vintage Festive Craft Pack exclusive to Hochanda!

Here is a sneak preview of some of the lovely Christmas decorations that can be created using the pack.  This selection is created using the music sheets as inspiration:


Christmas Tree Frame

Using just a sheet of the vintage music, a lovely piece of the fabric, ribbon and a few buttons from the kit, plus an old (or new!) frame, this delightful Christmas picture will take pride of place on any festive fireplace!






A Lollypop Tree

Another tree or window decoration - or even to make a present extra special!

A great way to re-cycle the lolly sticks and just a quarter of a page of the music sheets included in the pack.

Take three strips of the music, and cut down in decreasing lengths, fix to the lolly stick, add a button at the top to make it sparkle. To finish it off stick some of the sparkle trim to the back to make a hanger.




Music Bauble

A quick and easy tree decoration, from just five strips of the music in the pack plus some of the trim to make a hanger and a sprinkle of glitter - voila a pretty decoration fit for any tree!

Try making a few and hang them at different heights from the top of a window frame.




Don't miss Melissa's Simply Vintage shows this Monday 3rd October at 11am

You can watch Hochanda live online, Sky channel 663, Freeview 85 or Freesat 817.

Here's just one of the projects Lotte will be showing this week...  Step 1. Half two 2.5cm wide paper star strips. Now only use three of the four paper star strips. Step 2. Double over each of the three paper star strips and cut all the ends at an angle. Put a star strip around another star strip and fold it tightly three times around this star strip.

Debbie Shore's Threaders Project 4: Japanese Knot Bag

This stunning bag is actually very simple to make, and can be made as large or as small as you like! Try making it up in different fabrics, denim, faux leather or even silk, which would look lovely when embroidered as an evening bag! Use a 1.4” seam allowance. Materials needed:  • 2 pieces of patterned fabric measuring 19” x 25”  • 2 pieces of lining fabric measuring 19” x 25”  • 2 pieces of fusible fleece measuring the same 1: Cut a curve around the bottom edge of each piece of fabric and fleece. 2. Turn one of the patterned pieces to the wrong side and draw a line each side, from the top, 4” from the side and 12” from the top. Using a 12” circle template, join the lines to make a curve. 3. With the patterned fabrics right sides together, cut around the curved line. You’ll see two handles forming. Measure 8” from the top of one of the handles and cut across. 4. Measure 10” from the bottom of each section on the bag and make a mark on either side.
