Sneak peak

 

Finishing the hand stitching today! (There is an eco dyed element also which is hidden – for the moment.)

Finished at last …

 
A vintage damask tablecloth morphs into a drapey vest. Bound and appliquéd with silk; lots of hand sewing! All naturally dyed.

Slow and steady wins the race!

 
Hand basted silk binding on a commission order – a drapey vest made out of a vintage damask tablecloth from the client’s collection, which I first eco dyed. The basting will be removed later. 

UPDATE: sold [vintage tablecloth transformed]

  
Eco dyed, armholes added, hand stitched appliqué. Teamed with a thrifted eco dyed strapless dress and a crochet necklace of my own design.

re-arranged things at the gallery today

pretty happy with how the new venture is going since I launched the gone rustic eco collection on 31 May …
