vintage sheet dress






another vintage sheet dress hot off the sewing table. this summer I'm basically living in dresses and skirts.. its too warm for much else.
this vintage cotton sheet is perfectly soft and worn with buttery yellow flowers and teamed with a piece of floral trim-come-necklace
i was very spoilt for Christmas too receiving sparkly new earrings and bracelet from my love.
and there's been more sewing today.. think tea towels and a newly op-shopped skirt pattern.

p.s. hope you all had a lovely Christmas. ours was a very quiet day spent at home relaxing. it was a bit of a rainy day so the vegie garden got a welcome Christmas gift of sweet rain drops.

  2. Gorgeous frock Zara.
    My littlest girl gave me a pair of lovely sparkly earrings for Christmas too
    (with her very first pay packet - it took her eight hours of 'hard labour' to pay for them - she keeps reminding me of this. Ha-ha!)
    I sent you a little Christmas parcel btw, but forgot to include a still in its packet vintage sheet. It's got frock written all over it - I'll post it in the new year x
