With two vintage fairs booked this weekend the sensible option would be to take things easy this week.
But where's the fun in that?
I've gone dressmaking mad instead.
This lime green chiffon number was originally a maxi but altered on a whim last Friday night (and worn to trade at Judy's in Leamington Spa on Saturday)

The blue floral sheet dress was sewn on Sunday ready for its maiden outing on Monday.
This lace curtain was bought for 25p on Tuesday's charity shop outing and sewn up during the afternoon, ready to wear on Wednesday.
Today's frock started life as a 1960s bed sheet (courtesy of Emma Kate) but by tea time last night it was another dress.
What's the plan for tonight? The pub! The sewing machine needs a break and so do I.
See you soon.
PS Come and see us at Bath or Moseley if you can, we have some mind-blowing vintage!
The groovy 1960s nylon fabric came from Ray, a kind blog reader. Her husband found metres of it in his mother's loft. Adapted from Style 4636, a 1971 maxi dress pattern from my dear friend Janne. |
The brown & orange psychedelic number was finished on Monday and worn charity shopping on Tuesday.
Made using the 1969 McCall's pattern Emily sent me. |
Its that McCall's pattern again only this time with elasticated sleeves. |
