On a fabric scavenge late last year I found the most fabulous 70's queen bed sheet and pillow case set. It was in great condition and although the colourway is not the most favourable for the littlies but I could just visualise a great contrasting trim to spruce it up!
I kept this pillow case at it's full size so to satisfy the gap in the 6-8 year old size range in the shop. I trimmed the dress with one of the vintage fabrics from the Canberra Vintage Show and added a denim pocket which I cut out of an old pair of pre-baby unworn jeans of mine. It looked gorgeous on my blond, blue-eyed model! I've got a few more of these pillow cases in the stash so I'm 'planning' on creating a few more with different trims.
Clever!! Looks like fun - making & wearing!! Tell me more about the Canberra Vintage Show, how did i miss that?? Love Posie
ReplyDeleteFabulous! So does this mean you have clothes in Misschief Maker for up to 8 year olds? By the way, the gold/brown fabric reminds me of the 1970's curtains in my lounge room as a kid.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great little dress and a lovely picture too! Love the denim pocket!
ReplyDeleteMissChief Maker is making every effort to extend our size range. It's a gap in the market that mummies constantly ask me to fill. I've a few suppliers in mind that are supplying or going to supply up to size 8.
