Over a year ago, some friends and I went on a shopping venture, where they helped me nab a big stash of old neckties. I planned to repurpose them into something. I’ve pulled them out from time to time and thought about making stuff with them, but as of yet nothing has come to me. …

Vintage Barkcloth and Chenille Stocking

Body made from vintage fabric.
The body of this one was made using vintage fabric, I’ve had for many years. That piece of fabric on the cuff is new. It is a left-over scrap from a chair I am reupholstering.
