PINK GINGHAM

 

Back in the spring we took a trip to East Texas to visit relatives.  My sister-in-laws always treat me to garage sales.  Well, the last stop for the day was the best.  They were trying to get rid of everything so were letting you fill a bag for $1.00.  My sister-in-law found a couple of small items for her bag.  I spotted this pink gingham dress that had yards and yards of fabric.  And so, I put the dress in my sister-in-law's bag.  She would not let me pay a dime for my part so I guess I got the dress for free. 

 

Being the seamstress that I am I washed the dress and stored it with all my pink fabrics waiting for the right thought to come as to how to use this beautiful find.  I finally decided to make a little pillow case dress and bloomers for a birthday coming up.  I took the dress apart and went to the attic to find old patterns and believe it or not I found just what I wanted.

 

 



 I cut out the dress and bloomers and stitched all the pieces together and came up with the cutest little dress and bloomers. 

Finished dress and bloomers!   

 

I still have several yards of the pink gingham left and I am sure I will find something to do with it this winter when all the inside things start to get done.
