Table cloth upcycle

YITAI on Instagram: "This shirt is made from a vintage 1930s homespun linen table cloth with selvage edges, entirely hand-embroidered, and I trimmed it with mother-of-pearl buttons.

We had a lovely Christmas Day, with perfect weather, yummy food and family with us. We also spent time with good friends, so a rather busy day.

I know, I'm laughing at myself for this one too... it is teetering on the edge of ridiculous in my books - but it was still fun and worth a quick tutorial for any of you who dare. ;o) It makes for such a pretty tapestry... I want to drape it…

I must be feeling very generous today, because I'm here to give you two fabulous tips...all in ONE blog post. A two for one deal, and on a Monday no less! I'm extra mournful this Monday...we had a cold snap that destroyed all my newly planted flowers on my deck. I am devastated. One week. One week is all I got to enjoy them before they are already dead. Plants must shriek in terror when I purchase them. They know they are going to certain death. Its tragical really. My consolation are these…

That’s my tablecloth in the photo, and it is not very valuable. It was given to me in 1977 by my future mother-in-law, for me to use on my wedding cake table. It dates from the mid 1940s, b…
