1977

I love it when someone gives you something old, something with a bit of a story, something battered, something in need of a little TLC......


My mother in law came to visit yesterday, with fabric in hand.  This fabric is 1977 Laura Ashley 100% cotton and has a green floral print.  An off cut from a pair of curtains she made years ago.    


Generally it is in good condition, although a little marked in some places through age.  I think it will lend itself  nicely to being made into something small, maybe scraps of it added to a quilt, maybe some will work its way into bunting.  I think it will look perfect teamed with battered denim and maybe a splash of gold stitching....
