LATEST SALE...

 I created this lovely vest hoodie for a special client...
I started with a simple linen vest that needed just a little tweaking...
I first added the hoodie...which was a vintage tea towel with a touch of embroidery...
next I added the full hem with lots of vintage doilies,lace from curtains, tattered fabric,crochet lace and ribbon...I then tea dyed whole piece...last... there was a dummy pocket flap...I pinked it off...I added different old buttons along with satin ribbon as a tie off using the mother of pearl buttons that came all the way from England...to dress it up...

As usual I leave raw edges and cut hems off center to add to each piece I create...
...no two pieces will ever be alike...

I recently sold this whole outfit...The blouse, the belt and the skirt......It turned out beautiful and is wonderful in person...

The blouse was the bottom part of a cotton night gown, the belt is full of tattered rags and is quiet lovely.
The skirt started out as a cotton tablecloth and the trim is a crochet table runner...very nice.



This was a very ugly vest...The only thing going for it is that it is linen...I took off the awful button and stitched it close to the edge. I cut the neckline and added a lovely cotton trim.
The hem is full of bits and pieces of vintage...and the back is one whole doily...
