Embroidered Skirt

Good morning!

My to sew list is a mile long, and I can finally cross off one item. I found this beautiful hand embroidered tablecloth I would have loved to use but it had an unfortunate coffee stain. I still loved the fabric and embroidery so I decided to make it into a skirt for my Lola. The child's dresser is starting to overflow!

It's so light and airy, perfect for out hot, muggy summer days. Although, how long will it stay white?

Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Winner!

Wow, what a great response to my giveaway! It's nice to know I have company when it comes to my love of vintage sheets. I updated my giveaway post to announce the winner but in case you missed it, congratulation to Heidi! Your package is on it's way!

It was interesting to read all of your comments. Blue took an early lead as favorite colour in vintage sheets. Pink eventually took over, but yellow, orange and green also got lots of love. A few mentioned purple and commented that they are hard to find. I had never noticed, but I also rarely find purple ones.

If you are interested in vintage sheets, I do sell some in my shop. The link is in my sidebar. I would love it if you checked it out. :)

I have a new finished project I will be showing you soon, made with a vintage, hand embroidered tablecloth. Thanks for reading!
