How-To: Vintage Embroidery Applique Tank Top
I've seen several projects that use applique of vintage embroidered linens, and I never tire of them. Vintage embroidered linens are beautiful and charming, but let's face it: we don't need dozens and dozens of towels or tablecloths. Repurposing these vintage embroidered linens as updates to your wardrobe is a great way to preserve their beauty and boost their practical application. This project from Kristen Sutcliffe of New House Project for Book Hour Crafts shows how you can turn a vintage embroidered linen into an easy-to-applique adornment for a sweet toddler tank top.
