Yesterday I got a rare treat. I got to help make a costume for my niece.
She is little Boo Peep.
We recycled or thrifted every bit and I think it came out just perfectly.
Rescued squashed vintage hat. Totally restyled.
thrifted eyelet top embellished with recycled ribbon.
1.25 for thrifted chintz swatch for over skirt.
borrowed petticoats
And a kid friendly "crook " from recycled pipe
insulation used to pack a bicycle,
wire hanger, bamboo garden stake
and recycled ribbon and trims.
Total cost 7.00.
It certainly restored my faith in chintz.
Shepherdesses look great in it!

I absolutely love this costume. When I was a little girl I entered a Halloween parade as Little Bo peep and won, not because I had a great costume (which I did because it was made by my great grand mother)but because i hopped across the judging stage because Ireally wanted to be a rabbit instead.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful costume, and only $7??? What could be better than that? Great that everything was recycled or thrifted- very "green" of you! Your niece is a cutie pie too!

Darling!! Nice and thrify and creative. The hat is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteDarling! Simply darling!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a small world! I've been reading your blog for a while because I love thrifting, vintage clothes and sewing. I was just catching up this morning and was so surprised to see my three year olds love interest (your niece!) on the screen in an adorable costume! If her name starts with "V" and her preschool is in a city that begins with "O" it's her!! :-)
ReplyDeleteYou are a wizard!
