Shabby Wardrobe and My First Mini Clothes!


Here's the wardrobe I've built for the bedroom in the shabby house.

And here's how it looks in the room. I'm going to make a curtain to go on the front of it instead of a door, I just have to find the right fabric.

Thought I'd have a go at making some little clothes to hang in the wardrobe. I just twisted some wire to make the coat hangers, I'll have to have a go at making some nicer ones.

This is the first mini dress I made! The fabric is silk in the palest shade of pink, it was a scrap from the sashes on my flowergirls dresses at my wedding - so I've only had it lying around for almost 16 years!
This dress turned out a bit long to go in the wardrobe but I like it so much I think I'll just hang it in front of the curtain on permanent display!

  7. Wow, dresses from as vintage fabric. They are gorgeous, Mercedes. I like the idea of hanging it outside so everyone can see it immediately! And you can change the clothes too :). Great job, again!
