Married Couple Western Shirt
can be worn by either husband or wife!He wears it tucked in, I wear it tied up…the topstitching makes us both happy! and its such an awesome color! (edited to add this picture of the detail of the back… I actually TRIED to make the top-stitching a little wonky, I wanted it to look hand...
Read Morelace ruffle tunic
so here’s the good pic of the shirt… i LOVE it! super comfy and super cute! you can see the lace better in this pic…I made a binding for the collar, and I left the ruffle unfinished, and put it on top instead of enclosing the edges… I also left the sleeves and hem unfinished so they’d float more (tissue jersey is really light...

Read Morevintage sheets…
My gram handed down these GORGEOUS vintage sheets a while back… they’re 50/50 cotton poly, so they’re no good for quilts, but they’re gonna be good for throws… and maybe dresses for the bean? I dunno if my gram washed them before giving them, so I did so, and got to dry them on the line (I LOVE hanging sheets and quilts on the line… and love my dryer for all the cloth diapers…) I really really really want to make this, but I think I should use what I’ve got… I might just sew these two together, with canvas or something in the middle to...
