Everything feels so lush and green here at the moment- summer is in full swing- at least, in our little garden plot. When I saw this very old printed linen tablecloth at the recycling centre (I happened to find the 'matching' little old leafy plate, above, on the same trip) I decided to make it into a summer dress for Keira. I love the faded green and brown flowers and its drapey feel (truth be told, I think I love it more than she does. You know how it is sometimes.) The bodice is lined in greeny, botanical-print Liberty lawn and the armhole edges are finished with green lawn bias binding. I don't think I'll ever find a tablecloth big enough to make myself such a dress.
