Hello Cuties,
As I stated in another post, I needed to make some clothes for a child who can only wear 100% polyester fabrics, because she has so many allergies.
This was a ladies nightshirt I got at the thrift shop, only because I had trouble finding 100% polyester. I cut it up and made her a summer dress. Right now its winter where she is and the fleece pants set I made are in Projects.
I really wanted to make her more, but I am still dealing with this wrist and it hurts to do just about anything. The second photo is the label I cut off the shirt and added to the dress, to show it is 100%. I would hate to know this was the only thing I could wear, because I don't care for this type fabric.
Our group leaves in 5 days. Maybe I can get something else done, but I want to give these to Cheryl tomorrow so she can pack, when she is ready. Another lady at church, has made a winter gown and a summer dress that I know of. At least this year, they can tell us how the clothes fit, so we can maybe have an idea for next year.-Toogie
Polyester is man made. I just hope your lady has been given the correct information to pass on to you and the other lady doing the sewing.
Everything you have made is just so lovely and doesn't have that Charity box look.
I sure hope you get a picture either sent to you or Emailed so you get to see your work on the little girl.
Bless you.
Thanks Toogie
I love doing this type of thing I have become spoilt, you can find all kinds of good things at thrift shops, I have done several .
all the prices are very low compare to new fabric I went to Joann and they want $16.00 a yard for some blended knit fabric, besides it was a very thin for knit; never the less I did not get it.
