It's actually warm enough to wear this dress today, when the wind's not blowing. This one was total instant gratification: a thrifted housedress + japanese craft book + 10 minutes.
don't mind the model, she's got a little cookie in the mouth. hard to catch her not eating.
A captivating gang of 24 huggable, lovable creatures to sew—from classics like Margot, a topsy-turvy doll, and the button-jointed teddy bear Bjorn Bjornson, to irresistible Evelyn, a wool felt inchworm decked out in mod glasses and a kerchief, and Koji, a fiercely cute spiked softie monster. There’s something for everyone here—from kids to grown-ups and from beginning sewers to advanced dollmakers. Published by STC Craft, August, 2010.
I can’t believe that fabric came from a thrifted housedress!
sweet dress. great fabric and i like the cookie face.
I love this! Great score on the thrifted fabric–the socks match perfectly!
I have so many pictures of my kids with stuff in their mouths too.
Great dress! I love the fabric.
Too cute! I have a sundress a lot like that (but for some reason someone put a zipper in the back – maybe I’ll take that out this year). send some of that warm weather north – we’re expecting snow tomorrow.
lovely, lovely, lovely
I am loving those cool socks! A housedress? Really? My neighbor still wears those…outside…all the time…usually without her unders! I can’t wait to be over 90 and eccentric!
Very cute. Which book was it?
Looking forward to the movie.
I’ve been really enjoying your blog. I gave you an award on my blog. Have a wonderful weekend.
I’d love to know what book it was ! This is so cute and looks like something I might be capable of doing…
That’s too cute. I love her matching socks (!?) and the light looks lovely in your home. Good luck with the movie making!
