I’ve started embroidering the tablecloth.
Little sprigs placed at the intersections of the square grid pattern which is part of the fabric’s weave stucture. I think I got this fabric from Ikea.
I needed the motifs to be more or less uniform in size and shape so I made a template and marked the cloth with wash away texta (blue).
I suppose these acetate sheets will become a rare item soon since nobody uses overhead projectors anymore. Though I’ve got a pack which might just last me a lifetime 🙂
well hello - you have been busy. I really like this table cloth. The colour and texture really do it for me. I've been trying to find a few 'new' ones from the op shops, but my table is a strange size so maybe I'll have to make a couple. It's a beautiful table that dad made me as a baby warming pressy. He made it just narrow enough to be walked through a door jam. Clever cookie - love him.
Send me the dimensions, I'll keep an eye out for fabric for it.
