I am excited to have 2 outfits made using the vintage linens I found!
I love the crisp look of the white against the dark blue print. I tried the pilllow cases in 2 different ways. On the size 5 above,I left the apron in one piece and put double shoulder straps. I also put a generous sash to tie in back. I love the blue cross stitch on the apron. There are 3 little flower buttons closing the dress in back and the dress can be worn with or without the apron. This dress has a very full wide ruffle on the bottom of the skirt.
The size 4 dress above also has a lace collar, but the pillowcase apron is made in a different way. I split the case to allow the cute blue print to show on the sides. Both dresses have puff sleeves drawn up with narrow ribbon and have a ribbon bow at the neck.
I went to the flea market last saturday and found some more linens!!! I didn't need any but I couldn't resist. Now I need abut 10 more hours in the day the do some creative thinking. Some of the linens have the very wide edging that I love and I need more ideas how to use them. I like them just peeking out the bottom and I think they would make fancy bodices too. Life is busy right now and I want to make sure I still have some Lola time once in a while to do what I love best - - SEW!!
