Blue and White Woven Table Cloth

This was another goodie find of a hand woven fabric. This particular one was designed as a Table cloth, the woven structure is actually very loose and the fabric quite soft. I don't know that I will actually use it as a table cloth. I am debating about cutting it up and making some sort of lounge pant with it. I have to process it first, ultimately before I go ahead and cut up a good woven vintage piece but you never know!

This was a continuation of the previous post, as this was a similar find where I wasn't in the mood for shopping but went anyways and found sucha  great find! The nice thing about collecting vintage fashion and textiles is that even on a 'bad' shopping day out on the rounds of hot spots, you can always find something!

Handwoven Throw Blanket

Found this beautiful piece at a thrift store by happenstance. I wasn't really in the mood for shopping but my gut said "go!" so I decided to trek the on hour drive to the thrift store and low and behold I found a throw blanket that was labeled 'Hand Woven" which is always exciting. It certainly made me miss the days of hand weaving in my textile college days. I've been so tremendously busy of late, that its hard for me to post blog posts, much less have time for design and creative stuffs. Hopefully, I will be able to settle down in for a great day or two of design in the near future.
