+ FLORAL FUN #01 (RED) +

- busy days in the sewing factory working on many floral projects at the same time.
Here's a preview of things to come, all from 2nd hand textiles as per usual.
Included here are a set of strawberry curtains, bought in a small American village, some leaves from a tablecloth and an old comforter which used to belong to my late grandmother, I remember sleeping under it as a child : )
