Thanks for all your comments about my tablecloth linen shirt. I decided in the end to leave it alone and have happily worn it twice already! In order to scratch the embroidery itch I thrifted a shirt ($12, Muji, double gauze, label on!!) and here I go. I’m using the ‘Zine of the Zodiac’, a small collection of embroidery motifs by Marilla Walker, starting with my sign, Libra. Enjoying the last remnants of the autumn afternoon sunshine while listen to Alan Bennet’s audiobook, Enough Said.

Finished! Only 18 months later and just in time for winter 😂. Thanks for the inspo , your WIP weekend challenge got this piece moving from box to body! Horray.
I used a thrifted linen table cloth and some thrifted buttons for my shirt. Still trying to decide if this is part 1 of the journey and whether to embroider something over the top!! I’ll post about my thought process soon but until then, it will be hanging happily in my wardrobe.

Finished! I did it, 18 months later and I’ve finished my shirt. Thanks for the inspo for the WIP weekend challenge. It’s finally done. It may be only part 1 as I’m considering adding some bold embroidery over the top of the existing embroidery. I’ll show you my thought process soon, but in the meantime, it’s staying just as it is!

Are you joining the WIP weekend challenge? I’ve decided to finish this cute shirt using a linen and lace tablecloth I found. It’s all cut out but that’s as far as I’ve got. I am wanting to add some embroidery over the top, let’s see if that’s a step too far 😂 (18 months and counting to get to this point!)
