Give Stained Vintage Tablecloths a New Life Quick Makeover with Easy Fabric Transfer Tip

If you shop the flea markets, antique malls and garage sales like I do you probably don’t bat an eye at the bins of vintage linens and tablecloths. I mean who wants to deal with permanent yellowing and stains?
I thought the same way until I was gifted a basketful of my mother’s vintage tablecloth collection. I had to find a way to refresh and makeover my beloved lobster tablecloth.
I like the ease of using t-shirt fabric transfer paper to embellish and cover up permanent stains. With a little trial and error (who knew the heat of an iron can actually intensify the color of the stain), I discovered that a little touch of a white fabric paint pen acted as a primer before the clip art heat transfer. Also, you don’t even need a printer, you can draw directly onto the front of the heat transfer paper.
I refresh two different tablecloths to give you lots of creative possibilities before your very eyes. Hope you feel inspired.
