I am SO thrilled to be participating in the amazing K.I.D.S. project here at Me Sew Crazy. Seriously, brilliant series. My girls see me playing with fabric all the time and they love to get involved in any way they can. Olivia is especially interested in fashion design and at age 7, she’s getting pretty good at sketching up just what she wants. She didn’t skip a beat when I asked her to draw anything and I would make it for her.
Vintage Inspired Children’s Dress
Isn’t Vintage May such a lovely idea for a sewing series? I’m so excited to be included! I do love some vintage goodness – furniture, dishes, housewares, sewing notions, clothing – I love to get lost in the stories of old items, imagining how these “vintage” items might have played a role in someone else’s life. History makes everything so much more interesting and fun! Children’s clothing from years past, in particular, conjures up images of innocence, attention to detail, simple embellishments, carefree play… It’s different in so many ways from today’s clothes. It was hard for me to choose a direction for a vintage-inspired outfit – so many fun options to try!!
