Description
I used to travel beyond walks in my condo complex! Two years ago, I created a design from my old passport stamps dating back to 1956 when I was 11 years old and traveled on The Queen Mary to Southhampton, England. The reality is that my world was narrowing due to age before COVID 2020 hit but it requires a magnifying glass now to detect motion. You may know some folks like this, also!
But, thank god for creativity which does not have physical boundaries! Since the inability to travel has hit all ages during this pandemic, I made a throw blanket with my stamps for my 50+-year-old niece, who traveled with me to Europe in 1981 when she was only 16 years old and that stamp is in the design! I’ve made a high school graduation gift of this same throw blanket for my grand niece who has applied to colleges in the US as well as Europe. The hope of travel has become embedded in this gift as well as home decor products, like the tablecloths.
I also sewed several practical products: tote bags, pillows, scarves, handmade journals, and sketchbooks, reminders of a life I remember fondly: a time when I had the confidence to roam the world without needing to wear a mask!
[envira-gallery id=”24451″]Maybe I’ll offer more products later on as I’m working currently on a backpack that may break my sewing machine as well as my sewing skills if I’m not careful! But, for now, it is limited to three choices:
- Tablecloths for round, square, and rectangular tables from my passport stamp fabric.
- A 54 x 36″ ultra cuddly and soft throw blanket
- A third option for you to have me design fabric from your own passport designs and choose a handsewn throw blanket (with personalization if desired) or a tablecloth. Click Here
This listing is for the 1st listing: Tablecloths made from my passport fabric only!
These tablecloths are made for Round, Square, and Rectangular tables from 100% cotton durable Longleaf Sateen fabric that is also washable and wrinkle-free. It is top-stiched with a limited choice of matching colors and has a 1/2 inch hem. The dimensions of each tablecloth are:
Small 70″ Round Tablecloth
Large 90″ Round Tablecloth
Rectangular 70′ x 90″ Tablecloth
Rectangular 70″ x 108″ Tablecloth
Rectangular 70″ x 120″ Tablecloth
Rectangular 70″ x 144″ Tablecloth
Square 70″ Tablecloth
Square 90″ Tablecloth
The table cloths take several weeks to make so bear that in mind if they are a gift for a special occasion. Advance ordering is recommended.
I shall try to keep you updated as it progresses, though. My email is pbc@patcoakley.com if you have any questions or concerns throughout this process.
