before and after: panda tee to dress for me!

Saved this panda tshirt I found at the thrift store for myself!
I can already tell I will be wearing this one often.

This panda dress is not her first courtneycourtney panda piece :P
What are the odds!

I made these from a vintage sheet I found, see another panda dress and read about this here:

retro animals : panda

I recently found this retro animal bedsheet at the thrift store (which kicked off a whole new obsession....) and have been enjoying incorporating the animals into my dresses.
There's bunnies, squirrels, raccoons and pandas!

If you don't know already, I'm a KNIT girl, so using a sheet is a little bit of a stretch to me (hee hee), but I'm learning. I think they turned out pretty nice!

Thank you!!

vintage mix : rollerskating panda cardigan

I was doing some vintage shopping and found this rollerskating panda cardigan -- had to have it!
I was inspired to create a dress that could be worn with it, in this case by the circles of the rollerskate wheels. I wanted there to be a bit of dimension, and my usual comfort and ease to wear.

Here is the cardigan!

And here is the dress I made!



Here they are together!



And here they are on a favorite little muse :D
