Well, we had a lovely Easter. I hope you all did too. The little one and I headed down to spend the day with "Baba." She wore her mama-made Easter outfit. I think it was a hit and definitely "Elisabeth approved" which means many more shirts like this will be added to her summer wardrobe.
And who would guess it's actually a bed sheet? I love to repurpose things and limit the amount of new material I use. Although it's not always possible with the limited time I have for scouting out vintage material. But this floral pattern immediately caught my eye and inspired this lovely Easter ensemble.
Here is the little one modeling another tester for my spring/summer collection. The design will change a bit, but I finally found some denim chambray I liked after my other source fell through. The broom came in handy and kept my usual "very fast model" in a relatively moderate active state. This means about half of the pictures I took are actually in focus. Yay for small feats!
i love the easter outfit!!

Fantastic repurposing! I have a vintage sheet that is just waiting to be made into a dress sitting on the shelf! Thanks for the inspiration!
Glad you had a good easter! =)

Yes-repurposing is fantastic-and means less of a chance of having the same ole prints!Elisabeth looked lovely in her outfit.

What an adorable outfit! I love that shirt.
I enjoy using sheets, too---so much fabric for so little money! There are some really cute prints from the 70s, too.

You never cease to amaze me. Your designs are beautiful and fabric selections, delightful! One would never guess it was a sheet... and I'm a fellow repurposer, so I'm suitably impressed.
