New linen banding: white with woven white border

Vaupel and Heilenbeck 950 linen banding

Another product I’ll be debuting at the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair, along with the Sardinian Knotted Embroidery Lavender Sachet Beginners Kit, is a beautiful creamy white linen banding: Vaupel and Heilenbeck Article 950.

This lovely linen banding is 28 count (28 threads per inch), 10cm wide, with a self-striped woven border along each side. The diagonal stripes in each side mirror each other, so stripe in opposite directions.

The linen is white, but rather than being a bright white is a lovely creamy white.

This linen banding is made by German linen banding specialists, Vaupel and Heilenbeck. If you’ve seen their bandings, you’ll know what high quality they are, with lovely plump, polished-looking threads.

You could use this banding for a needlecase, potpourri sachet, an embroidered band across a cushion, bag or skirt, or on a towel. The banding could be embroidered with cross stitch, Hardanger, Sardinian knotted embroidery, merezhka, blackwork or any other embroidery for which 28 count fabric is suitable.

If you’re visiting me at the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair, you’ll find me at Stand D06. Enter in the front entrance, turn left, head to Aisle D, then walk down a little to find me at Vetty Creations, Stand D06. The show runs from 22nd to 25th June, 9 – 4:30 daily, at International Convention Centre, Sydney at Darling Harbour. I’ll have an orange flag above the stand, so hopefully that will assist you in finding me!

If you’re not able to visit the show – I know that not everyone lives in or near Sydney! – you can order the linen banding through the Vetty Creations website. Please note that online orders of this linen banding will not be sent until after the show concludes. This gives me a chance to show it off to the craft show customers.
