Vintage tape measures from our own collection were scanned and combined to form this fabulous striped design which was then made into a very limited edition exclusive fabric. This lovely hanging heart will add a vintage touch to your home and can be used as a pin cushion or purely for decoration. The intrinsic beauty of these vintage tape measures, with their signs of age and wear and beautiful numerals, gives a real depth to this fabric. The simplicity of the heart shape allows the design to shine and this is enhanced by careful positioning and cutting. The hanging loop is a length of cotton tape, and a vintage, fabric covered metal button finishes it all off beautifully. These hearts are sewn by hand and are approximately 12cm across.
