MY TEA DYED SEWING

My latest work has been fun to work on. I found this wonderful bodice in an old trunk that was just full of old doilies. I was so excited I think I must have done a little jig. The measurement at the breast is 36 inches. I love it.
 The front is an old pillow sham and the back is an old tablecloth. I used doilies, lace, ripped sheets, lace curtain and a cuff off another old blouse.Size: Loose Small to Tight Medium
Price:$85.00
SORRY, this little jewel has been SOLD...

 This beautiful blouse started with the wonderful crochet doilie at the bodice that was in that same old trunk. I still can't believe my luck on that day. There are doilies and ribbon and lots of other bits and pieces.
The lopes in the front are actually old curtain rings, but the ivory color matched it perfectly and I couldn't resist.
The back is open and has a button and ribbon loop as well as the bow tied ribbon is made to pull tight or loose to make it very adjustable.
Of course a pretty camisole or tee shirt is to be worn with this blouse but either way  will be wonderful. Size Medium to Large. Price: $65.00
SORRY, this piece has been SOLD...
