I found this vintage tablecloth in a nearby antique shop. It's drapey cotton, printed with little red roses. Keeping all the original hem-seams intact (which made it super-easy) I made K a new skirt to go with her red winter tights. Quite a handy garment to wear whilst watering the pot-plants, as it turns out.
I discovered this new song by Bon Iver today. It's beautiful.
Happy weekend to you!
So very sweet! Perfect for gardening and everything else too. The similar blue skirt which I purchased from your shop a bit ago is getting so much happy use with our warmer weather (and attracting many compliments)!
best.

What a delightful skirt! Love the tights too. I wonder if I could get away with wearing red tights as a nearly 30 year old Mama? 🙂

adorable! i’ve made skirts for myself out of vintage linens–being as i don’t have a little girl, and i don’t think my son would appreciate floral-print lounge pants. 😉

Gorgeous skirt, especially teamed with her new cardigan. Any girl would be pleased to have such a lovely outfit. If it were my size I’d wear it for late evening walks in France, stumbling through orchards and pine (oh to dream).
