Sewn For My Sis

Vintage Sheet Skirt
Originally uploaded by Green Kitchen.


My favorite model and sewing muse, my sister. You've probably seen some of these photos before (here or in the Wardrobe Remix pool), but I wanted to make a group post to see them all together. It's about time for another round of sewing for her, maybe some shirts or a mini dress now that she's wearing things above the knees. I've also been wanting to make one of these, which would combine my love of yarn and fabric.

I sewed the skirts from a self-drafted pattern based on the "Tourist Trap" from Sew What! Skirts. The dress is McCall's M4369 tailored for a streamline fit.

The dress is new fabric — it's dragonflies. The pink skirt is vintage, the bubbley champagne skirt is new fabric, and the green and blue floral skirt is from a vintage sheet. I did a quick search trying to find the names of the new fabrics, but couldn't easily find them. If you know what they are, can you leave a comment so people who are interested can find out?

Fantastic work - though I think I may be equally as impressed by the variety of perfectly appropriate shoes that your sis has! :)

The champaigne skirt fabric is Alexander Henry's Soft Spot. It also came in a blue colorway called Pool and a few others. Similar colors to their dots fabric Light Bright.

That top - love it so much and you and your muse. Your creations are amazing and your sister wears them with such aplomb. Where's the patented Gorilla pose though? Just for fun, c'mon Becktress!
