New Pretty Pirate Designs! Spring 09

Keeping with my sewing spree, I have made two original pieces. The dress is made with old tablecloth lace, which is a great way to get cheap lace. I love to recycle old fabrics and give them a new purpose. The shirt is made with part of a skirt I got thrifting that was too long (floral), as well as some thrifted striped material I got in Seattle.

I'm thinking of making some white lace leggings out of the remainder of the lace. I'll post photos if I do.
