Oilcloth Roll - Frida on Black

Did you ever wonder why Frida Kahlo wore all those heavy embroidered huipiles (Indian blouses) that were indigenous to Southern Oaxaca? Gorgeous, yes. Bold and colorful, yes. Perhaps they reminded her of the sultry, humid jungle nights spent lounging in a hammock, or the savory memories of nibbling on roasted iguana…. The Tehuana women in Tehuantepec were a bold matriarchal bunch of women who managed ranches, businesses and controlled wealth… and would party hard, drink to excess and swear like drunken sailors. She admired them and their beautiful needlework. This oilcloth copies their traditional bold floral design! We sell oilcloth by the 12 yard (36 foot) roll, and will custom cut it to suit your needs – up to 10 cuts free of charge! Cloth is approx. 47 inches wide, and all tablecloths will be “simple cut” with unfinished edges. We recommend a 4-6 inch overhang on tablecloths. A 12 yard roll yields nine (9) – 47 inch square tablecloths, or six (6) – 47 x 72 inch rectangular tablecloths. Or mix & match or customize your own! Call our office if you need help figuring your tablecloth sizes, color combinations or “overhang” needed. We’re happy to help! Because of the popularity of this oilcloth some patterns may be out of stock at any one time. Please give first, second and third choices of design and background color. Please note – Oilcloth is not returnable.
