Ric Rac (or
Rick Rack) is a decorative zig zag trim which can be used on a wide assortment
of clothing and craft based projects.
For a number of years now I have
collected vintage packets of ric rac and I just LOVE all the different brands
and packaging I have found in my travels. The gorgeous vintage colours really
appeal to me and are very different to what you can buy these days. I think if
you are sewing with vintage fabrics it is really nice to use vintage trims too
and vintage ric rac is no exception.
I
particularly LOVE it on vintage aprons – and many of my ‘pinnys’ are embellished
with it, usually on the top of the pocket or around the hem line. What fun I
have had wearing them in the Crafty Squirrel as I play shop keeper!
This
afternoon I got all inspired and dug out some old red ric rac that I had in my
stash and turned it into this ric rac rosette ring – it was quick and easy to
make and is a lovely way to show off ric rac in a different way.

Thanks Alison :-) the best part is all of this ric rac and more is for sale in the Crafty Squirrel! I will make some rings to sell at the Maribyrnong Makers Market but it won't be the September one as this is my big annual sale. I will have some at the Christmas one in Nov!
