I am so in love with the embroidery placement! It turned out beautifully. I especially like that you switched the facing to embroidery as well. I bet the original embroiderer would be so happy that their art lives on

I have quite a few embroidered tablecloths made by my great aunts, my grandmother, mother and myself . They have been sitting in a drawer for years. Now do I have the nerve to cut into them and make something similar to that fabulous blouse???? Not sure but your end product of that beautiful blouse is shouting go for it.

I understand the tablecloths made by family members have a different level of value! Maybe you could try with fabric that doesn't hold that same value and the see if that changes your mind 😊 sometimes it is special to keep precious items in their original state too. Tough decision!

Amelia, what have you unleashed! I think I will now be obsessed finding antique table cloths. I have just finished a Donny shirt using a white linen oval scalloped edged tablecloth with embroidered olive branches bought on Mykonos in 2000. Not quite sure if any pattern pieces have the same grain, and I have a fat black olive you know where! Still, I love it and can’t wait to wear it. Thank you for your inspiration.

Wow Amelia what a wonderful make It makes me feel quite emotional to think how much work has gone into the embroidery. As sewists we can appreciate the hours this must have taken and it’s so heartwarming to see it repurposed in such a lovely way. I don’t have your skills yet but I think something like an Ogden cami may be doable. Thank you so much for sharing and inspiring us. X

That is so beautiful! It will look great as a summer jacket, over a little cami and shorts. So versatile and can be styled in lots of ways, so much more useful in our modern life than as tablecloths! That is truly the spirit of upcyling. Such an inspiring video, thank you so much!

Just stunning! I’m curious whether any of the embroidery is coming undone where you cut into the middle of the design. Have you washed the shirt yet? Any suggestions on how to prevent a disaster of unraveling over time?Love this idea so much.

I didn't notice any unravelling. It is not really warm enought to wear this at the moment so I habe not washed it. I did overlock all the seams too. Maybe I it does unravel I will have to just try and repair it? Hopefully it doesn't though.

The shirt has a 1.5cm seam allowance and then I sew and overlock the seams so it all hold together in place 😊 I also try to handle the pieces with care before I sew them so I don't cause unnecessary fraying.
