the Christmas breakfast cloth
Found this gorgeous fabric as a remnant at the Brisbane Fabric Market.
Just enough for our little breakfast table on the front porch.
Hem, hem, hem, hem .. rick-rack - hey! you can’t have seersucker and strawberries without rick-rack! I’m certainly channelling Nannette with this fabric - I’m sure she would have some vintage strawberries in her stash!
Okay - done. Now onto the Christmas chair bags.

ahhhh vintage strawberries! I love it. When I came on your post I thought - oh goodie! What lovely fabric, I wonder where I can get some ;-(. Goody for you though. It really is lovely and it takes in the summer Christmas spirit at your house. I wish your family a very merry holiday.
