Made from a really special vintage tablecloth that has been intricately hand embroidered with signatures and good luck messages, and then stored away for a good few decades.

I'd love to know the story behind it - my theory is that this tablecloth was a (very generous) work leaving gift as I can imagine all these Margarets, Beryls, Yvonnes, Sybils and Rosemarys working together in a typing pool in an office in the 60s!

A very unusual find, which was rather nerve wracking to cut into, but I hope I've done this wonderful piece of folk art justice. The stitching is an neat on the back as it is on the front, as you can see in the last image.

Butterly soft, off-white linen and finished off with found yellow buttons. Roughly size S-M - please see measurements in the dropdown menu.

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