And also, because what else are you supposed to do when the thrifting gods gift you with 8 yards of vintage bicentennial fabric?
Seriously, this fabric is so baller.
The founding fathers! The constitution! I shiver in the wake of it’s colonial awesomeness. Ok, sure. I’ve always had a bicentennial fetish. But I think we can all agree this fabric rules.
Here’s a close up of Little Betty’s skirt. Mine was exactly the same, only bigger.
And you know I used vintage patterns!
It all went together like a dream. I had to do quite a bit of adjustment on my top to get it to fit right but now I love it.
And now Little Betty has one more photo contender to submit to Awkward Family Photos someday.
