Wrap around reversible baby/toddler dresses
If you fancy seeing some of things either scroll down or click here for cushions, here for neckwarmers and pencil cases or here for bunting! Sounds rather eclectic writing it down like that doesn't it?!
Made from linen/cotton mix fabric originally from a ladies shirt
The checked fabric is thrifted cotton
The buttons are vintage mother of pearl
And the hanger is thrifted!!!
Hence why there is a little scrap cotton tie around the hanger -
otherwise it keeps falling through the hole!
The idea was to sell children's clothes made from vintage and recycled material but as I was making them I realised you've no real idea what size to make and you only have a limited amount of fabric of each pattern. I have a bit of a problem cutting into fabric at the best of time, see here, and so thought that if I had some clothes for sale but then advertised that I would custom make clothes from their choice of fabric. Don't know how that will go but here's hoping!
The beige linen is from ladies skirt
The floral cotton is from a vintage pillowcase
The buttons are from my stash
The little applique bird is on the back of this one as a little surprise!

the dresses are such a great idea for toddlers .... the natural linen is lovely and they'd look great with a t-shirt or long sleeves underneath.
