Hello! This week I worked on upcycling this thrifted linen fabric from Ikea. The tag reads PUDERVIVA 20118 in case maybe you find on second hand websites or in person. I don't think it's on the Ikea website.
I had so much fun and made a dress along the way. I hope ya'll enjoy this video 💛
Help support my next sewing project by buying me a Kofi 💛: https://ko-fi.com/jensewsvintage
