Vintage Plaid Wool Groundcloth | Make It Monday

A little vintage wool, a little bright green waxed canvas, and another creation chosen by our community.

This week's Make It Monday project started with a beautiful piece of vintage plaid wool. We let our audience help decide what it should become, and they chose a groundcloth!

Then came the fun part of choosing what to pair it with. Our community picked bright green waxed canvas, and we think they made a wonderful choice.

The wool features a colorful plaid pattern with rich reds, greens, and yellows, giving it that classic outdoorsy look. Paired with the 10.1 oz bright green waxed canvas, it feels right at home in the woods.

We made this one a little different in size, too. At approximately 20.5" wide and 29.5" long, it's larger than our Junior Groundcloth but smaller than our full-size versions. Just a handy in-between size for those times when you don't need something quite so big.

A Little Groundcloth with Lots of Possibilities

Sometimes you just need a clean place to sit, set down your gear, or spread out a few things while you're enjoying the outdoors.

This groundcloth combines a beautiful vintage wool surface with rugged waxed canvas, making it a useful piece to bring along on your next adventure.

Take it camping, use it for a break along the trail, spread it out for a little picnic, or keep it handy in your vehicle for those unexpected stops.

Giving Vintage Materials New Life

One of our favorite things about working with vintage textiles is that we never quite know what they'll become.

This piece of plaid wool already had a history before it arrived in our workshop, and now it's ready to make some new memories.

We love that our Make It Monday audience gets to be part of those decisions. From choosing the project to helping select the materials, each creation becomes a little collaboration between our family and the people who follow along.

And this one turned out beautifully.

Built to Be Used

Waxed canvas develops character with use, and vintage wool brings its own wonderful texture and personality.

Because we work with vintage materials, small variations or signs of previous use may be present. We consider those part of the story, not something to hide.
