before and after: striped fleece




I found this striped knit womens dress in the thrift store.  
Later I discovered the fabric was a fleece, on the inside.  
Wanting to make this into a jacket,
I decided to flip the fleece side to the exterior.  
I took the snap closures from another rainbow plaid flannel dress I had.  
The original black knit collar is now the wrist trim on the sleeves.

vintage fox : November 2008



This is actually the second wearer of this dress, it was made in November 2008!
I've recently made a 2012 fox print, an updated version of this fox.
Look for it in the emails!

inspired by illustration : scallop hem stripe dress




I saw this drawing that Jennifer of sophie & lili's daughter drew
and was inspired to make it an actual dress.
It's the first scallop hem I have made!
And you know I can't resist stripes.

To top that off, it's modeled by one of our favorite little ladies :)
THANK YOU!!!
I love trying new things and thank you for sharing your talents with me!
Now the dress is on its way to the artist....

boy-repeller? I love going CRAZY with....

whatever you call it, a theme? pattern?

I grabbed every plaid knit I could find in my piles [for upcycling].


You would think I would have found more plaid polos than this, but I seem to find more solids and stripes.

I caught this PLAID post by The Man Repeller, and thought it would be exciting to see how much plaid I could fit in one dress.

You see, it's a challenge and I love it.
I go nuts with FLORALS:


STRIPES:


EVERYTHING!

This dress was seen in the latest Babiekins magazine!
I sent it to my friend Heather, who styled it with some sparkle.
