Go! |
I'd say it's a Polish house dress, with that bold red and white design. This one is made from 2 old tablecloths, plus a bit of old handmade kitchen curtain for the pocket facing when I ran out of the former.

Biiiggg pockets wide open |
See that checked pattern inside the pocket? That's the bit of curtain fabric.

Enough playing with my clothes. Here's a peek of the back view.

I can do it. |
This tablecloth dress had major refinements going on. I had to piece it like crazy since I only had 2 to work with and there were plenty of stains and tiny holes too. Instead of embroidering and/or mending, I did applique by cutting out the flower elements from the bits of scraps and machine zigzagging them on the offending areas. Sometimes the dress is more appliqued than not! I have pictures of just the dress and close ups of the appliques on my
Clothes for Spring page.
Oh, oh, let's not forget the latest ebay shoes...

And
