1 Tapestry of life
At 74, Dolene Jobing of Plattekloof just outside Cape Town is still full of creative ideas. She loves browsing the Milnerton Market in search of old tapestries which she then combines with fabric remnants to upholster furniture such as this ottoman at the foot of her bed. Dolene also created the pretty bed cover from leftover fabric and lace. She isn’t afraid to mix and match motifs and says the secret is to stick to a muted palette of cohesive colours and floral designs.
