I feel like it took me forever to find my fabric for this project, but I finally found three yards of vintage calico! Bethesda Thrift Store came to my rescue with this pretty piece of cotton for $1.99. I also picked up some eyelet curtains from the antique store for $3, which I am going to use to make a petticoat to peek out of the bottom of the dress. It fits with my summer/country theme, and I hope to wear it on my trip to Colorado next month.
The other bloggers are working on their muslins and fitting this week, so be sure to check them out!

So glad you found fabric! I'm also impressed with your finds, such as $3 curtains. I have really gotta move somewhere where the fabric options are a little more open.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous fabric finds and such a bargain!!!
ReplyDeleteAmy those fabrics are beautiful!!! I love your idea of a petticoat that will peak out from under the skirt hem. I think that is a beautifully feminine touch. What a great price also! I am seriously getting excited about seeing your dress finished. Sam xox
