Bring on Spring so we can see the wildflowers and lambs!
I have been doing a little sewing of late. I have just finished the first outfit for Amelia's Spring/Mackay wardrobe. I know - I should be working on my ball dress (and I promised photos of that tomorrow) But while I had white on the overlocker I could not help myself.
This little outfit is as vintage as one can get. The pattern (Simplicity 5649 - Vintage 1973) and the material came from the opshop and the yellow came from my grandmothers stash (and could well have been there for 20 years)
Complete with a little hair clip made with my new tool. It is a Yoyo Flower maker - not sure if I will use it alot, but it does make for a cute hairclip addition.
I have some orange ricrac here - and just tossing up whether to add it to the bottom of the shirt. What do you think?
I also want to get some little dresses made and a twirly skirt (or two) and a tiered shirt. Ok - off to thread the overlocker with black thread now and overlock the seams of the dress.
That is really sweet!! I love it! I like it as is but I also like the ric rac on it as well! It lifts the colour a bit. Love the yoyo clip too.. What tool did you use for it??
ReplyDeleteI think that top is so cute. Very vintage as you say. Amelia looks very pleased with it.
ReplyDeleteOh this is so pretty! Amelia looks like such a big girl too with her long hair and hair clip.
ReplyDeleteI like it with the ric rac too. I am not normally a fan of orange, but I think the ric rac really lifts it. Cute outfit!
ReplyDeleteSo very cute, and I love the outfit and hair clip too! I was going to say I would leave it as it - but clearly I am being out voted in favour of the ric rac.
ReplyDeleteWow Kylie!!!! Where do you find the time to do all of this amazing stuff? I love the outfit. The orange ric-rac will be a great addition, it'll really lift the colour in the fabric. Oh yeah, the clip looks great too.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the great work.

So sweet! I like it just fine without the ricrac... :)
ReplyDeleteSo sweet - the outfit and the little lady wearing it!
ReplyDeleteI'd probably vote with Heids on the ric rac though, I think it all looks gorgeous as is.
Love that you used grandma's stash too.
wow awesome dress... I could go either way on the ric rac...
