Hollyhocks repurposed tablecloth ruffle-sleeve shirt

One of the prettiest vintage tablecloths I've ever found - and what's more the hollyhock motifs fit perfectly on the yokes!

The appliqué flowers are so intricately hand stitched. I love the red and pink flowers side by side. This fine linen textile also had red running stitch lines, which I've positioned so they criss-cross the collar and run across the back yoke.

The patterned yokes called out for plain sleeves - but not too plain, so I dismantled a vintage white linen cushion cover and made frills on my old Singer ruffler before attaching them to the hems of the sleeves.

Roughly a size M-L (UK 14-16ish) - please see the measurements in the dropdown menu.

As ever, this one-of-a-kind garment was lovingly made by me entirely from found, not-new materials.
