Let's Get Shabby Challenge #4

This is the new challenge at Let's Get Shabby #4 Julie has created this sketch for the challenge and the requirement is to use this sketch and a vintage photo or embellishment. This is my take on the challenge. About 12 years ago I made doll clothes for the American Girl Dolls 18". The lace I used was from my stash that I collect to add to the doll clothes. I tea dyed the lace in the corner and added the cameo button. The paper is basic grey Stella Ruby. The picture I scanned from a photo I have hanging in my room.

If you look close the pattern paper is a fake! LOL I couldn't bare to use the original from the sewing pattern so, I made my own. I cut a piece from the plastic bags you get at the grocery store and traced the pattern piece on it. Same for the little bow on the bottom right corner of the picture and you have to look close to see the old fashion sewing machine charm. I did take a piece of the original paper and gather it together to put behind the flower. I made the flower from a ruffled lace and added the old fashion snap made in England for the center.

Here is a closer look and you can see I also, took wire ribbon folded it in half pulled the wire to create the leaves. Place the lace collar behind the fake pattern piece added the zipper, straight pin and prima flower.

Thanks for looking.
