✴ très chic, grandma!

This week I have grabbed for myself, from the local charity shop, a beautiful stash of granny chic loveliness; doilies, tray cloths, tablecloths and antimacassars. Oh and some lovely screen printed fabric that has a look of some Sanderson fabric my mum covered the settees with in the '70's.
I've already got several ideas for the re-modeling and up-cycling of these.
I'm thinking cushion covers, aprons, bags and general 'shabby chic'ing!
One is already so perfect for a vintage pinny it's like it was meant to be.

  3. Lovely finds. I'm always interested in how people upcycle vintage doilies/napkins. I think they would make a lovely quilt.
    Those printed fabrics are gorgeous!
