Boy do I have some exciting stuffs for you today. I think it's safe to assume that if you're here reading this you like sewing, adore vintage clothing and, kids or no kids, can appreciate a well dressed one? Great. Well, put them all together and you get the love-child series of Skirt as Top and Craftiness Is Not Optional...Vintage May! It's half way through and with only one week left of vintage inspired goodness, it's not to be missed. Not today. Not any day. But particularly not today. I'll be sharing a special vintage something for the lads over at Skirt As Top.

Hi Katie and welcome! Thanks so much for your lovely comment, it's so nice to hear feedback like that from someone with boys too. Glad to inspire you into sewing action...you'll be addicted soon enough!
DeleteI've also recently found your blog - and this is by far the most inspiring blog I've seen in a long time. I LOVE everything you make.

Thanks a bunch Trine! I just started following your blog too and I'm loving your dresses for yourself and your little girl jackets. Amazing!
Deleteoh my gawd thanks for sharing about the TAP! I have adored your shirts and am totally thinking how I can make some of my own. My biggest challenge for Me Made May has been finding things to wear on comfy lazy days, and a home made cool t-shirt might be just the trick.
ReplyDeleteNo probs Meg, it's pretty great stuff. Ooo I like that idea, it would be so fun to have a funny image on a slouchy tee, to go with pj pants or something for home.
Deletenot only is the oufit super-tastic... the background is too! well done :) -Erin
ReplyDeleteOh so you like my poor people's wall paper?! It's just wrapping paper. Thanks Erin!
DeleteSailboat Pants turned into bloomers/Plus Fours!! Omigosh, you gotta get that kid golfing! Total genius! When Vintage May started, I was trying to think of vintage styles that would work for boys but not be too twee (or at least be hip twee), and you hit the nail on the head. Well done.
ReplyDeleteAw thanks Inder! Funny you should mention Plus Fours, I'd never heard of them until my partner, who's a golfer, saw these bloomers.
Deletehehe...love-child series! fantastic. thanks so much for your post, i am so excited to see awesome boy projects for this thing. it's a lot more challenging than the sweet girl stuff but you really did nail it perfectly. yay!
ReplyDeleteHey thanks for having ME! I think we can all say that Vintage May is a stirling success so you'd better hold another one hehe. I can't get over how much work you have gone to in your introductions...you must be either exhausted or just made for this stuff!
Deletehow exciting to see boys clothes that aren't blue or splattered with grunge words or skateboards or army prints or skulls or cross bones ... and speaking of bones... are cute to the bone. Is there no end to your imagination ...can't wait to see what you come up with next!
ReplyDeleteThanks mummy!
DeleteHello stranger! Happy mothers day! I miss u... I love the pants!
ReplyDeleteI just added your blog! Don't know why it took me so long! Miss you tooooo. We had some good times, us and the gang when we unleashed them on the opshops and spotlight hahaha. xx
DeleteHi Sophie. I commented on your post over at Skirt as Top but also wanted to come on over and say that the outfit you created is awesome! I love all the ideas that you come up with for your boys as well as for you. Lots of inspiration on this blog and I so appreciate it!
ReplyDeleteWow thanks Nancy! I aim to inspire! So hearing that from you has totally made my day.
