I am feeling silly that I stash away found fabrics. Fabulous fabrics, be they foraged or financed , are for sharing and so I hereby pledge to feature a favourite every Friday.
To kick us off may I introduce Tesorla.

| Tesorla fabric with Orla Kiely charity bag for Tesco |
Tesorla is a lightweight cotton barkcloth. He has no name or maker upon his selvedge and so I cannot date him with any certainty. I named him Tesorla because of his striking similarity to the colours and patterning of my favourite charity shopping bag designed by Orla Kiely for Tesco. I feel he is a he because of his popularity with chaps with a liking for mid-century modern stuff.
Tesorla has traffic light red circles ring with white on a chocolate base, the most gorgeous olive and chocolate circles on a white base, caramel and sage circles on a pale grey base and blocks of charcoal grey.

| Tesorla Large Retro Drum at FollyandGlee |
He loves to be made into lampshades....particularly the larger retro drums for standard lamps. His ambition is to find a partner and pachwork a cushion or two.
If you think you could give Tesorla a loving home pop in and say hello@follyandglee.co.uk.
He is really rather lovely...and makes a fantastic shade! I'm a huge fan of barkcloth...and your website which I have just stumbled across. You have some beautiful things.
ReplyDeleteI make lampshades too and sometimes from barkcloth. I'm jealous!!
