This lingerie bag was purchased by me last year at an antique shop. It was labeled as antique but I believe it is newly made out of antique fabrics. I just really liked it and did not feel it was overpriced. I think it is a fabulous idea for holding any of your soft CQ items such as ribbons, laces, etc. and looks so pretty hanging on a wall or over the edge of a mirror. Let some of the content flow over the edge for color.

Please feel free to copy it if you like the idea. The bag opening is held out by an oval shaped wooden embroidery hoop sewn into a casing. The hoop in this one is 4 1/2"x 9" but try any size or shape for variation. All of the decorating is done on the front of the bag.
What a really beautiful idea! I was even thinking, with that embroidery hoop idea, you could use a tea towel fabric for the base and it would be a cool holder for onions and potatoes for then pantry!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this idea and have the perfect thing to use... I have a lacey faux vintage "morning wrap" something that Myrna Loy would have worn.. Of course it is 10 sizes too small but I keep it hanging in my bedroom because it is sooooooooo beautiful... This has moved to the top of my to-do list after Wichita... Hugs Gerry Krueger

ReplyDeleteI thought you meant for me to keep my LINGERIE in here! Only one pair of my big girl panties would fit in that dainty little holder!
