This little Phoebe jumper was made from a vintage pattern and 2 tablecloths (thanks Carol!). It’s too big but hopefully wearing tablecloths will still be in vogue next Fall.
Oh, and look what I found when I googled Karin Larsson.. a post from Claire about her!
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.
That is amazing! I wish I was not such a hack at sewing.
That is the cutest jumper ever. Now I am off to go look at my old tableclothes to make my own version!
That’s really sweet, I love the chickens on the bodice!
I’m so in love with this! Wow!
Love the deep pleats- there’s something wonderful about putting over-sized details on pint-sized girls!
ultra vogue! ;] love the pleats and colors…
Oh my I think thats the cutest dress ever, I wish they looked as good on adults!
Once again I’m just in awe of your eye and creativity. That dress is a work of art.
very very cute!! I have to ask are those hens from an old tablecloth? They look like something I have seen in one of my old vintage fabric books.
That. Is. Gorgeous.
WOW!
I’m 39 and 3/4’s, and one of my favorite items of clothing is the wrap skirt I made from a vintage table cloth. No poultry on mine, unfortunately…Way to look outside the box on the materials!! Your cutest girl will look awesome in it whenever she wears it. You are always the cleverest.

Absolutely adorable. I love the contrast of two fabrics down the center like that. Great idea!
That is just so absolutely sweet and wonderful. I love the colors. I have a similar pattern, but the pleats really change the whole look of the dress.

so beautiful and unique! I just finished a dress for my daughter out of a vintage tablecloth and napkins, using a classic vintage pattern…yet to blog about. And like someone else said, I would hang it on the wall to display until it fits- an absolute artwork!
Those chickens are so awesome!
So absolutely gorgeous….bravo!

Precious. I love the dress.
arg– this is so cute! and she can use it to wipe her mouth, which my girls do with all their clothes. and me. they actually wipe thier foody-gross mouths on my pants. I should make tablecloth pants for me.
I should also stop typing now.
Wearing table cloths never goes out of style. Or that’s what I always say.
Phoebe is so lucky!
your creations are truly inspiring… I stumbled upon your blog somehow and am I glad I did. I have a baby boy and I wish there were more inspiring things for boys… but keep creating and inspiring!
That is adorable!! Love the plaid.
Swoon, there’s nothing but perfect on that dress. Love it!
