This dress just went home to one of my daughter's friends. I've been holding onto this fabric for awhile now. When I lived in Wisconsin there was a fabric shop that mainly sold cheap remnants. I went in there quite often since it was only a short walk away.....man I still miss that place. There were quite a few times I got real lucky and spotted lots of 1930's reproduction feedsack fabrics...which I love. I'm sure I pretty much bought all the pieces they had.
This is my go-to pattern for dresses. It's actually Simplicity 4206 which is a pattern for a top but I just added about 12" to the length. I guess it looks a bit like a nightgown but I think you could go either way with it.
Yesterday was gorgeous so we spent part of the day outside. Some of the flowers are starting to bloom and Nissa picked a few for me and collected them in this flower pot plate....
Inside, Boden decided to do a little painting....
What's his medium?....
I love his hair and his idea of painting.
