That’s a WRAP

SPECIAL GIFT

One moment it is a simple piece of fabric; two seconds later it is stylish packaging material.

TO MAKE Use a remnant of 100% linen fabric, washed a few times in hot water. Cut the linen to fit generously around the gift. Wrap it, tie a piece of string around it to secure the linen in place and add a dried olive twig - the texture complements the linen perfectly.

PATCHWORK

This linen tablecloth is actually just a collection of loose fabric patches.
