Now I need to go find a good vintage sheet.

June 12, 2009 by Minnie

bedsheet_3478_16I like this article on WikiHow with instructions for making a cute summer dress with an old bedsheet. The pattern making instructions look easy enough to follow if you’re not a total novice and the result is cute.

I love how more and more people are sharing their pattern making recipes and the smaller pattern shops that are popping up. The two that come to mind are Colette Patterns, which has some really lovely creations and Decades of Style that has some great vintagey reproductions. I just bought the Decades of Style Diamond dress pattern, I love the zippered front and butt pockets. decadesdress

Ooops, I just overwhelmed myself thinking about all the summer dresses that I need to get done!

Any other good indie clothing pattern companies that you know of?

Mr Fox Toy Crochet Pattern

If you’re looking for a youthful, fun project to crochet for Christmas, check out this toy foxy.

The Mr Fox Toy is so sweet and fun, and is the perfect counterpart to the adventurous Mrs Fox Toy.

Mr Fox has a removable jacket and Scarf for easy cleaning, or if you wanted to make him a couple other outfits too. He’s entirely stitched up with single crochets so this is an easy project with a big payoff.
