Tablecloth blouse pattern

Tips and hints that I learnt when making a blouse from an old tablecloth

This top would have been my contribution to The Refashioners 2020 which has unfortunately but understandably been cancelled this year. I had already completed my project and wanted to share it with you all as (despite not being the most dramatic refashion ever) it really pushed me outside my sewing comfort zone and I'm hoping it might inspire some of you to give it a try too! Portia's yearly refashioning challenge started back in 2011 and carries an important message, encouraging sewers to…

Panel Tee – MULTISIZE SEWING PATTERN

In my SUSTAINABLE SEWING online course , I talk about sustainable options for fabrics. Here’s an example of how I upcycled a vintage tablecloth. I had a vision: to sew a camp shirt out of a vintage tablecloth. And here it is!

Hello Readers. This was a pretty linen tablecloth but it did not fit any table I had. I thought it would make a really cool top that I could wear all spring and summer. It was a really fun project to make, read on and see for yourself. Before and after. I cut the table cloth in half down the middle. Here is the half I will use for my new shirt.

Hi guys! You know one of my favorite things to upcycle are vintage tablecloths! I had repurposed a Christmas tablecloth cutter that wasn't in fantastic shape into a lampshade for the living room a couple of years ago that I love. I had quite a lot of cloth left after making my lampshade so I

This beautiful vintage tablecloth was too pretty to actually use, and there was some fading in one corner. I like treating large pieces of l...

Last Sunday, whilst mooching around a car boot sale, I came across this beaut of a table cloth. Hand appliqued strawberries and leaves with a red trim, and lace, it was a total snip at 75 pence! A couple of weeks ago, I'd bought a this handful of Woman's Weekly magazines, dating back to 1946... Amongst these tatty old issues, I found some simple instructions on how to make a circle skirt. The thought of making myself some vintage-inspired, summery skirts had stuck in my mind, and having…
