Recon clothing for my cousin

Post: # 99368Post mrsflibble »

hoodie made from scarves with an edging of shirt fabric

Dress, bodice is a non-poppered baby vest but sleeves and skirt are made from some wonderful fabric; Sophie has informed me she wants a "dots dress" too.

Bowling themes baby shoes, shoes came from the pound shop, appliqué was all my own. My uncle was a bowling champion in his early 20s. It's not so easy to see, but the shoe on the right hand side has two bowling pins, a ball and a sort of cartoon-ish flame where it's smacking them down.

Mrs F! Yet again you are amazing! One of these days I may have to comission an outfit from you! But not a baby one - I'm far too old for that sort of thing! lol
Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!

Beautiful !!

My mother bought the same spotty fabric and made a dress for my daughter but she declared it 'too spotty' and waltzed off - after my mother had spent ages shirring the bodice :oops:
