I adore the graphic artwork on old vintage tablecloths from the 40s-50s. I have designed several fashion based on these beauties (see below). Today I just completed re-drawing a tablecloth corner inspired by a quilted favorite named “Wedgewood” by Rhonda Dort. She quilted over a vintage bridge tablecloth. Her work is exquisite. Here is the original quilted piece next to my rendering of a corner. Love it. I am not sure what to do with this flourish yet. Perhaps I could print out a smaller version of the tablecloth (44″ X 44″) and you could try quilting it DIY. Or maybe a handkerchief. I am not a quilter, myself.
I can’t wait to make this dress using this table cloth print:
Here are some other designs inspired by old table cloths:
