I don't mind using an apron or tablecloth with fading or stains, so I probably hold onto my linens a little longer than most. Although it's hard for me to cut into well loved linens, I really enjoy creating items out of vintage fabric.
RECYCLE:
1. Vintage Tablecloth Pillow, Handmade, 2. Tropicana- recycled apron, 3. Recycle Tablecloth Skirt, 4. Nana's Cottage Pie reversible handbag - print side**A couple fun things to do with your cutters:

I have this book{and LOVE it!}creating Lampshades with vintage linens, the perfect way to recycle!
I just took that book back to the library after checking it out for the SECOND time....awesome lampshades in it. I can't part with an old tablecloth that has seen better days either - your recycled photos are great.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post. I have tons of those cutters that I hoard like a troll. I need to get cutting :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I never get tired of flipping through that book.
ReplyDeleteMelissa~ I'd love to see what you do with your cutters :)
Hi from the U.K. I love your blog and found it by accident. I'm so glad you said what cutters were I was more than a bit puzzled :)
ReplyDeleteI have just posted my latest finds pop over and have a look.
I am going to look for the lampshade book thanks for sharing.
