Handmade Coasters (6) Maija Isola PEPE Marimekko oy Suomi Finland 1972

Description

Maija Isola “PEPE” by Marimekko oy Suomi Finland 1972. I found this fabulous piece of fabric at a flea market and immediately recognized it. It had some awful stains at the bottom that I couldn't soak out and some holes where it had been stapled to canvas. I recycled it in to a table runner, magnets and coasters. Here are the coasters! There are 6 in the set, they measure a 4" (10.2cm) square and are lined with muslin. A piece of flannel was placed on the inside for xtra absorption. Unique and sure to be the topic of conversation at your next get together. I'm always happy to answer any questions you may have about my work!

PLEASE NOTE: It is natural to find flaws when working with vintage fabrics. I do my best to cut around holes and soak out stains. However, I can't guarantee perfection. On the blue floral graphic coaster there are 2 tiny holes smaller than a pin head. To cut around them would have meant loosing a major piece of the design so I didn't. The minor flaw in no way detracts from the coasters and would be considered charming by most!

Care Instructions:
~~Wash in delicate cycle, cold water and mild detergent. Dry on medium heat and iron on cotton setting... All fabrics have been pre-washed!

Please Note: Your item is coming from a smoke free home. However my cats, Sally and Gus, roam freely!
