SUSTAINABLE SEWING: A camp shirt from a vintage tablecloth

In my SUSTAINABLE SEWING online course, I talk about sustainable options for fabrics. Here’s an example of how I upcycled a vintage tablecloth.

I had a vision: to sew a camp shirt out of a vintage tablecloth. And here it is!

I thought it would look cute, but I also did it because I love the earth so much and it brings me joy to reuse materials as much as possible. (I’ve reused this vintage pattern thrice.)

The square tablecloth wasn’t very big, so I had to use a few tricks to get all the pattern pieces cut out of it. 

I’ve learned a lot about reusing secondhand & non-traditional materials over the last decade, ever since I merged my passions for sewing & sustainability. I decided to share what I’ve learned: My new online course about Sustainable Sewing is launching very soon! Head to the home page to make sure you’re notified when it launches.
