Retro Inspired ModCloth

Ok, this isn't about handmade but it's ending up on this blog cos I feel so inspired. Check out these gorgeous dresses from ModCloth. Love the look! I'm so gonna check out vintage sewing patterns now. Etsy here I come....


Incidentally, I couldn't resist and is now the proud owner of the second dress (blue plaids) below hahaha!

Butterfly Onesie Dress

Chris and I have been friends since we were 12. We hang out at her place after school, went roller skating together and spent most christmases at her mum's house parties. We lost contact for a few years but met again at work. How time flies, we are both stay home mummies now and our kids are the same age. I made this onesie dress for her sweet baby girl Jade. The fabric is Momo's Wonderland and I've added a baby blue bias and a wide polka dot brown ribbon to finish the look. Hope Jade likes it:)

Retro Bloomer Skirt In Action

Here are the photos:) Lil princess looked absolutely cute walking around in them!

Retro Bloomer Skirt

It's a tiered skirt and a bloomer. Totally retro and totally gorgeous with an identical front & back. My lil princess shall be wearing it this weekend! She's just started walking and nothing thrills me more than to watch her cruise around in this. If princess is cooperative and my phone camera doesn't fail me (it's been a little cranky these days), I shall most certainly be providing a photo update very soon:)

Retro Sibling Pants

I couldn't resist getting this Michael Miller fabric with retro flying machines to create something for my son. I ended up create pants not only for him but lil sis as well. They love wearing these together and I ended up with loads of photos of the clowning duo in action.

Retro Full Length Jumpsuit

Understated, simple yet elegant and oh so retro, this full length jumpsuit keeps baby cool even on a warm summer day.

The Oriental Dress

Here's my version of the cheongsam spiced up with a juicy Japanese fabric called Candy Pop, chinese collar and cute little fabric buttons. Something different in an absolutely yummy fabric!
