have you popped by Taz's blog butter and buntings lately? if not you may have missed the handmade dress swap she is currently hosting. If you're handy with a sewing machine (even if only at a basic level) or know someone that can sew for you, you can join in. and if you don't feel up to making a dress you can also join in by making and swapping a skirt instead.
I think a simple shift style dress is perfect for this swap. something with only a couple of pattern pieces and the sizing is fairly forgiving too.
think of all the possibilities... using a vintage sheet or tablecloth, adding pockets maybe made from doilies, or adding a lace or pom pom trim around the hem
hope this week is a lovely one. x
oh thanks for sharing my dear, and im going to send the sheets this week! xx
ReplyDeleteI'm sure anyone would be happy to receive one of your handmade dresses Zara. I think it's a great idea but I'd be worried my sewing wasn't good enough for a dress swap. I'm keen to see the dresses that do get swapped though.
