Notes: This product is hand-made on a vintage base so variations will occur. The bases were found unused and have been soaked and cleaned prior to embroidering. Some age spots may remain, but I think this is the charm of buying old things! To care for your ECRUWORK TOP, hand wash cold with gentle soap. Squeeze and let dry naturally. Press with a warm iron with a towel placed over embroidery.

Your ECRUWORK TOP will arrive packed in a brown paper sack tied with unbleached woven cotton tape. It will also come with a personalised and dated product card. The pictured sample is for me!
