![]() My little girls and myself were going to a wedding and I wanted them to wear something cute and similar. So I used an old pink bed sheet, the ribbons and buttons I recieved on JT, some lace and ricrac from previous projects, and my treasure (the only new thing on it) a little from my designer fabric fat quarter. For the back I upcycled zips from old clothes (not sewn in on the pic yet). Even my thread was from JT!
Thank to everyone who gave me buttons and ribbons here! |

![]() How sweet! My mum (God rest her) used to do that for me when I was little, a million years ago! It's lovely to know that it still happens.

Thank you TickTock! I suppose it's the recession. There was no way I could afford new matching outfits for them, so I had to make them myself. I try to make myself everything I can, it's more economical and fun too. |
