Vintage Tablecloth Throw

Hi, thought you might like to see what I made from 2 vintage tablecloths and some vintage sheeting.  The front is patchwork squares made from a vintage embroidered tablecloth and vintage sheets. 

The back of the throw is made from a vintage white damask tablecloth.

If you look closely you can just about make out the damask pattern on it.  Then I made some cute little covered buttons from some of the single embroidered flowers.

Vintage Linens and Sheets

Here are some examples of vintage linens I have been collecting to make into granny goodies.  There are vintage sheets, embroidered and lace tablecloths, doilies and vintage retro pillowcases.  I have a whole load more, including vintage lace trims and buttons, to play with.

These quilts/throws were the first things I made with some vintage sheets.

These rag dolls are made from old curtains and vintage sheets.

 

Hope you enjoyed the photos.  Speak to you again later.

An Introduction

Hi!  I would like to take this opportunity to introduce to you some of the topics I will be chatting about in this blog.  There will be plenty of craftiness in the form of patchwork, sewing with vintage linens, granny crochet and a little bit of knitting and embroidery.  There will be ramblings about about life on my allotment with the chickens.  I also want to show you some of my ideas and projects for handmade granny goodies that I hope to start selling on Etsy, and would welcome any helpful comments,suggestions and feedback.  I will have some photos for my next blog.  Thank you for looking in and I hope to speak to you soon.
