My Creative Space



My Creative Space today is to sew some of these opshop finds from Anglesea, into something for little girls. I especially like the doilys. The end result could look like a mess of different colours but I'm hoping to achieve something cute and adorable. I just love what others achieve when they sew together vintage sheets and fabrics. I already have some dresses in my byebyebirdie range that are made from vintage fabrics from my Aunty and Grandmother but I have only used a maximum of two different fabrics. This will be my first time at experimenting with sewing with more colours and other materials from my stash like tablecloths, sheets and doilys etc, so wish me luck! I also want to sew myself a top with the pattern pictured in the photo but undecided what colour or fabric to use. I guess I should see what is already in my cupboard of material first before going to the shops to buy more! Have a look at all the other creative spaces over at Kirsty's.
