More Childhood Nostalgia

Check out this cool vintage child's winter accessories pattern from 1984! It's for a fuzzy bear scarf, hat, mittens and ear muff covers. This pattern really takes me back....I would have been the perfect age for these in 1984 (7 years old, to be exact!). I remember standing outside waiting for the bus in the chilly weather, hating the ear muffs that my mom made me wear! Do kids even wear those anymore?

I just put this in my pattern shop if you'd like to see more details!

Broken Ghost Couture @ Etsy

I stumbled across Broken Ghost Couture's shop on Etsy the other day. I'm a big fan of designers who use upcycled and vintage materials to make one-of-a-kind clothing, and this shop has some truly amazing handmade gems for women and children! There are two of my favorites:

If I had a little girl I would buy this immediately!

Girls' THE SPY WHO LOVED ME Mod Dress.

Super-cute holiday dress!

A Few New 1970s-Inspired Designs!

Finally! Here are a few fun new designs that I finished recently. As most of you know, I have an unabated love for all things 1970s (especially 1970s fashion), so these are both inspired by my favorite decade!

Babydoll dress made from all upcycled and vintage materials. The bodice are sleeves are made from bright pink polyester double knit. I used an upcycled vintage 1970s bias wool plaid skirt for the skirt. The embroidered collar and button are vintage, too! Currently available in my Etsy handmade shop.

Cozy pullover top. The oversized cowl collar, sleeves and waistband are made from vintage poly/cotton stretch knit fabric. The bodice is made from what was once a 1970s button-front shirt. Currently available in my Etsy handmade shop!
