my new dress ...

My new dress arrived in the post yesterday. It was made by Rebecca from Naughty Shorts from vintage fabric that I got to choose (online) from her amazing stash.





Here are some of the other dresses Rebecca has made (pics from here) ...



I stumbled across Rebecca's amazing dresses via the Shabby Vintage Junk blog - Tamara is THE source of all things vintage!

I'm really enjoying creating a (mostly) handmade wardrobe for summer. I want to keep sewing while I have the bug!

Have a great Saturday!

my creative space ... little dresses

This may be the last of the holiday sewing, but it was probably the most enjoyable. I made two little dresses for my nieces ...


I used two wonderful patterns from Wink Designs - the Criss Cross Reversible Dress and the Petal Power Sun Dress. The Criss Cross Reversible Dress was a pleasure to make - very satisfying and great instructions meant no mistakes on my part - yahoo! Fabric for this dress came from the stash, but was orginally bought from Patchwork on Central Park.



The only thing I changed on the pattern was including a pocket instead of appliqueing some flowers on one side of the dress. (I did a post on my tags the other day, if you're interested in finding out how to get your own tags).


The Sun Dress was also made from fabric from the stash, originally from Patchwork on Central Park. No changes to this dress, except that I put press studs on the back instead of buttons. Super easy to make.

tag love

I love using my tags when I'm sewing. I've been making some little dresses for little people. Here's a sneak peak of the progress ...


More pics soon. Have a great Monday!






P.S. I was interviewed over here last week - thanks Rachael!
