Looking at Cathe's and Mena's discussions about clothes worn by ourselves when we were young and people who have influenced us, I wondered what favourite 'vintage' photos members of the sewing circle had to share. I was going through old photos with my mum last night in preparation for the challenge next week and these are what we found amongst them. She used to make the majority of her own clothes - my favourite is the polka dot dress, which my mum said she made from, 'a scrap of fabric'. The coloured photo is one she tinted herself with a kit that was around at the time. Maybe we could have a challenge based on our favourite photo from times gone by ...
Beautiful pictures! I absolutely adore the polka dot dress your mum is wearing in the first one! I love how she made it too!! And her hair--oh how I love how she styled her hair!!! I love how she hand tinted the last photo!! What a treasure!!!
She told me it just grew like that Debi - wasn't she lucky! You know, she's fascinated at all this sewing I'm doing at the moment and she's been a great help with it all.
These are photos of my mom, the first one is her as a little girl with my great aunt in the 30s, the hat is from the 50s and the other two are from the late 40s.
