My fabulous friend was out antiquing the other day with her daughter. They came upon upcycled pumpkins made of vintage fabric. Meaning, that old fabric is re-ignited with love for a new product. In this case, it's vintage fabric repurposed into the most adorable pumpkins.
Well, she sent these to me! Which is perfect because I don't have much Autumn decor. Not by choice, it's just many of my decor pieces have outlived their lives and I now maybe have one ceramic candle pumpkin.
These are perfect autumnal decor pieces for me.
One of them is made of old chenille. The fabric was probably an old robe or blanket in its original life.
The other one is made of vintage Pendleton fabric. It looks like it could've been an old Pendleton skirt or jacket. Thick, amazing, fabric.
What a fantastic idea. I often see old fabrics with holes and damage in my vintage clothing sourcing, which is disappointing but also part of the vintage life - holes happen. Yet, the balance of the piece's material is in pristine condition.
Repurposing the fabric is ingenious.
I wish I knew who to give credit to for these (someone in Idaho), but I just adore them. It's a fantastic idea and I adore the skill someone has to create these.
Happy Autumn.
