These are the last few pieces
of vintage French linen
from a cushion
I bought in France several years ago.
I was going to use the lovely fabric
to cover my journal
but have decided not to.
Instead I have been turning
new into old...
with the fabric I bought
when the sewing shop closed....





spot the difference ?

  3. Ha - no secret Cory...I haven't bleached anything ( apart from the kitchen sink ) since bleaching clothes in my teens !

    I just squirted a dollop added hot water & soaked the fabric for about ten minutes. Then rinsed well.
