I made this apron back around Christmas time but due to a very busy schedule I’m only now getting pictures posted.

Vintage Nightgown

I thought it would be fun to post pictures of the china I am collecting. It is British made, Lady Carlyle and was the same china pattern my Great-Grandmother had. I love all the different colors and the pattern will make such an elegant addition to my future tea cupboard.

Forest Green Housecoat

May 29, 2008June 2, 2014 wifeplusmum7 Comments

I made this from a vintage pattern with only minor changes. I’m not sure but vintage patterns might be easier to work with, this one at least was easy. Next time I think I’ll make it in a summer weight fabric…:-)For now this will be packed away for next winter.*sigh*
