Reclaimed Vintage Blanket Groundcloth
A Little Piece of History, Given Another Adventure
One of the things I love most about working with vintage textiles is figuring out how to use as much of the original material as possible.
This groundcloth started with a much larger blanket that had seen better days. There were areas of damage that made it impossible to use the whole blanket as it was, but there was still so much beautiful material worth saving.
So I worked around the damaged sections, cut out this wonderful piece, and turned it into a new groundcloth.
And I'm not finished with that blanket yet! I'm already working on ways to use the remaining pieces.
Beautiful Old Materials Deserve Another Chance
The blanket features large blocks of muted red, warm brown, gray-green, and soft tan. I love how the colors work together. They have that classic, well-loved outdoor feel that makes vintage textiles so appealing.
We've finished the edges with waxed canvas and added metal grommets at all four corners, creating a practical piece of gear while preserving the character of the original blanket.
Rather than letting a damaged blanket go to waste, we've given a good section of it another chance to be useful.
A Handy Size for Outdoor Adventures
At approximately 18" wide by 36" long, this groundcloth is smaller than our full-size groundcloths and easy to bring along when you don't need something large.
It's a handy size for:
-
Sitting on a log or the ground while enjoying the woods
-
Kneeling while working outdoors
-
Creating a small space to organize your gear
-
Keeping your belongings off the forest floor
-
Adding a little vintage character to your camping setup
The four corner grommets also provide attachment points when you want to secure it.

One-of-a-kind piece
Because this groundcloth was created using reclaimed vintage material, you may notice signs of its previous life. Those characteristics are part of what makes it special.
Handmade by PNWBUSHCRAFT
We believe that just because something is old or damaged doesn't mean it has reached the end of its useful life.
Sometimes it just needs a little imagination and someone willing to take the time to work with what is still good.
Every groundcloth is cut and sewn in our family workshop in Washington State, where we love finding new purposes for beautiful old materials.
Built to last, not landfill.
