You can never have enough...

Had a lovely morning out yesterday and brought home a nice long thin strip of indigo dyed red and cream hand embroidered antique hemp cloth with some of the very faded patchwork lining still intact. I think it is from one of the hill tribes in Cambodia, but I'm no expert. I have ideas around embellishing a denim skirt or jacket with some of it and maybe making a small phone bag with a cord so I can wear it like a lanyard. Make all this scanning we have to do a bit easier. I washed the piece yesterday and it has come up well, but will need another gentle soak before I start playing with it. Always exciting to have a new project in mind!
