 French Ticking

I have been sewing French throw pillow shams for my

home and Burlap Luxe etsy shop.

Centuries old rural rustic fabrics are still dominated textiles in

French interiors.

Prairie, farmhouse and countryside; old textiles lift up and compliment

every other element in its space.

French textiles enhance the love of living well worn with

faded age.

A thread of time.

I do not use zipper closures, yet an old envelope cuff is

sewn down tucking away perfectly placed feathery down inserts, 

giving the pillow shams a feel of centuries old.

 

No welting-buttons or zippers that are often associated with

modern times distract from the peasant countryside

feel and design.

 Drop Cloth

My French brocante style is in keeping with worn textiles,

faded and lived with.

I have had drop-cloth curtain panels in my home for

years now. 

The curtain rods are oak closet poles that I had Home Depot

cut the length for me. Then I washed them down with

a watered down grey paint giving them a

patina of all things French.

 Eyelet Brackets

The eyelet brackets was an idea I came up with to solve a problem with

not finding quite the aged rural countryside feel I was after.

I took an old metal fence post to my iron guy, asking him to

cut 3/4 inch rings and could he please follow my pattern

measurements with a post and face plate that I could

screw into the wall?

He was concerned about forging perfection, I was not.

As you see I got exactly what I was hoping for, and

what I desired.

Rural, Rustic,  And Salvaged. 

Inspiring a salvaged French textile home.
