This dress has been appearing all over the crafty web in the past few days...



...cos it's so fabulous!!


I adore the vintage style but mostly love the highly creative use of what is always
disregarded and discarded.

I started sewing at 9 years old. Yes, I was that child who cut old table cloths to make floral printed dresses for her stuffed animals. Two decades later, I quit a steady career in teaching to start my own business in the apparel industry. It's been a couple more decades and I can't seem to stop (yes, I have tried). So with a sense of joyous resignation, I continue to create custom clothing and patterns, and find time to teach drafting and sewing at my studio and online.

    Isn't it fabulous? I couldn't believe it when I saw it today on her blog. Was going to send you a link but you got to it first. I am still reeling from the (good) shock of seeing it. Wish my obsession with bibs could turn into something jaw-dropping like that.

    It is absolutely fabulous! It is quite the construction feat, really. About your bibs...you could make a collage of all the cut-out ovals and then transform that into a dress/skirt/blouse/pillow/bag for one/all of your girls :)
