rick rack attack
What is it about rick rack that’s so appealing?
Does it bring back memories of one of Grandma’s aprons? Or a favourite blouse from your childhood? Is the wavy design the perfect blend of old and new?
Whatever it is, it seems to represent a simpler time when summers were long and houses smelled like apple pie.
You can tell how much I like rick rack just by looking at my picture to the top of this blog. I had that linen tunic made last year and chose large scale, white cotton rick rack to trim it. I love the gutsy, graphic quality of it.
Last week I found some amazing fabric called “Rick Rack Attack” - wouldn’t it make great napkins?
There are all kinds of things you can do with rick rack - from wrapping presents….
To wrapping lampshades…
Look at some of the things I found people doing on Etsy…
Laminated binders…
Pillows…
Hairbands….
Bags…
Flowers…
Clothing…
Even selling vintage rick rack…
Part of what I love about rick rack is the colour choice…
And did you know it comes in velvet?…
And glitter….
So make some waves and have your own rick rack attack…
Even if all you do is something small…
