Vintage Housecoat




Here is my first attempt at a vintage pattern and I am quite pleased. I will definitely make more, especially since I have quite a stash of vintage patterns now! :)



I made this from $1 yd clearance fabric I purchased at JoAnn's in a few pieces. In the future, I will make it with a really pretty floral print, but for now, I'm quite happy! :)

This is a lightweight cotton which makes it perfect for summer. The pattern instructions were very good, except I did have trouble understanding the back collar at first. :)

Graduation card!



When I looked for a graduation card a few weeks ago, I couldn't find many and I didn't care for those I did find. So, I made one!

Ta-da! Another apron...

...and the last for the year I thought. Then I found some vintage apron things, so I might have to make more. :D
