Vintage Crocheted Table Cloth


Things have been so busy around here lately, haven't had much time for thrifting, I've been working on a wholesale order for a store, and getting stock to another customer who is doing an art show, but had a few minutes Friday and stopped at a friend's tag sale. Look what I found! She was selling this gorgeous vintage crocheted tablecloth. I thought it would be so pretty for a holiday dinner with a solid cloth underneath to match the occasion. Many people don't have regular dinners together anymore, but they do get together for special occasions and this would be perfect. What do you think?

Recycled Sweater and Velveteen Coat


I've had a collection of velveteen pieces for sometime and didn't have any ideas for using them. But decided they would be lovely made into a fall coat. So, I used a tan plus size cotton sweater for the top and added the velveteen panels for length. Then added a hood of velveteen and did covered buttons to close. I think it worked out quite well. Check it out on etsy.
