A few weeks ago my grandmother gave me most of her sewing belongings. Bags of fabric, buttons, ribbons, lace and even her overlocker. She's been sewing for 25 years, so imagine my excitement to sift through bags of vintage lace, buttons and ribbons!
I made these two tops out of upcycled fabric. I used some of my grandmothers buttons and on one of them, used some of her lace. The result? A very sweet little vintage top. I think it is just adorable! The two tops will be listed in my madeit store sometime next week (once my labels arrive- woohoo!).
these are gorgeous!!! i've been meaning to make a top like this for my DD 2. is this ur own pattern? also, is this all cotton? sorry for asking so many question. they are just so lovely!
I sew, knit and crochet and love creating fun, unique clothes for children. Why? Because every child is a little original, their clothing should reflect that!
I am always ferreting around for second-hand vintage and retro fabrics and linen to upcycle, recycle and repurpose and give a new lease on life. Using existing resources is very important to me.
Oh they are yummy. And the buzz of getting your labels! It's so cool!
