A few years ago I found this great old wrap/scarf on a vintage market in the south of france. I was travelling in France
I really loved the folkloristique design on the fabric, but the edge was a bit messy ( see the last picture ) so it ended up at the bottom of my wardrobe.
A while ago I found it back and still loved the fabric so I decided to remove the old edging and create a new one.
This fabric deserved a better treatment than lying in the dark - unnoticed - for years and years ;)
This is the edging I designed for it.
