This thrifting thing is great. You buy things you may never have considered before - and they become a huge success. I bought this lighthouse fabric at my local op shop for $1. I've never really got into the novelty type fabrics before, mostly because I wasn't sure what to do with them, and also I'd be scared of ruining the pretty pictures.
I'm happy with this top for Lizzie. I made it a size too big so that she can mainly wear it on its own in summer, but I can also see this worn over a red skivvy with jeans.
I also love these love heart buttons I bought at our local quilting store - so cute.
Awww that looks soo cute Suz! Really original and beautifully sewn. It helps that you have such an adorable model too!
ReplyDeleteSuz that's really great. She looks happy with it too
ReplyDeleteGorgeous - I am exactly the same with novelty prints
ReplyDeleteOh, This is fabulous!! I love the lighthouses, but then again I am a novelty print junkie. They works so well with the red spot and just looks oh so cute on her!
ReplyDeleteThat is adorable Suz - just like the model :)
