Description
This is a linen top I up cycled from a hand embroidered cloth I purchased at a vintage auction
I have cut the shape from one piece and I have added vintage white cotton lace and pinched darts as accents.
Shown with a Barn leather skirt and Murberry pewter sandals. The bangles are from Marks and Spencer.
I would be more than happy to share the pattern instructios however I am not sure how to do this?

Wow, a compliment from you?! I am grateful. it would be really easy for you to make something like this. In fact, the difficult bir here is finding a suitable fabric and visualising what is going to be! The sewing can ve done in less than an hour.

I am making loads of outfits from old tablecloths! I love looking at the piece of fabric and imagining what the piece of fabric is going to be!
