Due to an unseasonally warm winter week, I've been inspired to craft a new summer top for Hannah. (made from a vintage childrens pattern). This is actually a dress for a 2 year old, but fits my two year old perfectly as a top. The pocket is a gorgeous patch from some thrifted vintage childrens fabric.
Here is a better photo of the vintage fabric.
and a clearer one of the pale blue which Is my favourite fabric in my stash:
I was fortunate enough to pick up two identical sheets of the yellow fabric. The pale blue fabric was one of those lucky treasures, you grab onto with a racing pulse and head straight to pay for it, for fear that it will somehow vanish before your eyes....
Anyway, have a great weekend everyone, and hopefully the warm rays will keep on beaming down.
The fabric is gorgeous - I love all three designs. Lucky you, despite all my op-shopping I've never managed to find any vintage fabric. Patterns, buttons & trims only!

That is such a lovely top. You've found some fantastic fabric there! I never seem to be very lucky on the fabric front.
You left a comment on my post a few weeks back saying you'd give a home to the Golden Hands book I found. If you still want it, its yours!
Just send me your details.
