Vintage Linen Revamp! For this swap you will raid your stash or your local thrift store and find yourself a little vintage linen. This might be a doily, a hanky, a table runner, tablecloth or a pretty embroidered piece. Imperfect is better! I always love to find something that has a little hole, wear spot, stain or something that would make it "undesirable" to someone else with lesser "vision"! You will then make something for your partner from it. Something that it was not originally intended for. A little way to preserve the past, to make something unwanted into something treasured. Perhaps you will fashion a hanky rosette brooch, or a pretty sachet for your partner's drawer, a little coin purse to keep their postage stamps, or a sweet little glasses case, or a little pocket tissue cover. Just one little revamp for one partner. If there is interest in more of this kind of swap, I would like to continue this theme with a revamped linen tote and Christmas stocking later :o) We should have no flakers among us, but as usual, if someone goes rogue, I will angel the swap, and ban them from the group! |
