My plan for today is to choose a girls dress from one of these vintage patterns. I'm going to make some dresses out of the vintage fabrics pictured. I really like the bright cheery colours. The fabric hanging on the back of the chair is an old circular tablecloth. I was given both the patterns and fabrics from my lovely aunty. They are only a small sample of just how much she gave me. LUCKY ME! I just LOVE vintage fabric! My grandmother gave me the fabric sitting on top, it has ballroom dancers on it and I vaguely remember having a dress made from it when I was younger. So it would have to be at least 25years old. I should have some material in my stash that will go nicely with these. I'm hoping to have some dresses sewn to take with me to the Daylesford Makers Market this Saturday.
I have no idea why the date at the top of this blog is incorrect! And I don't know how to change it. I know about sewing stuff but not much about computers! I have checked and double checked and it IS THURSDAY!!
ReplyDeleteMaybe you started writing the post yesterday? You can change it if you like by clicking post options at the bottom of your draft & then manually change the date to today.
ReplyDeleteYour fabrics (& patterns)are gorgeous. I wish I could make it to Daylesford this weekend.
This always happens to me when I load photo's the night before. Follow Kirsty's advice! How lovely to have fabric from your grandmother, that is extra special. Hope you have a fun day on Saturday x
ReplyDeleteOoh the fabrics are fantastic, bold and bright. I won't be able to make it to the market either this week, hope it goes well for you.
