I bought a lot of vintage zippers last Friday. I had no idea what to use them for, but the colors were so pretty I just couldn't resist! I went back home and sat down to look around for a while before making any decision about what to do. I took some vintage fabrics and clothes and decided that I was going to deconstruct and reconstruct, so I took the fabrics apart and put them back together to create my own piece.
Then I pulled all the zippers I bought and started matching them up and cutting them into smaller pieces. I embellished the first collar and was quite proud of it. The colors matched so well!
On Saturday I made similar shirt but darker this time. I used a vintage cotton in navy blue, some zippers, vintage lace and another beautiful brooch.
Tomorrow I'm going to learn how to make zipper flowers. I'd like to make a dress from a vintage cotton or spandex and adorn it with zippers. I guess I'm hooked!
