Vintage Housecoat: Simplicity 4625
I had fun this weekend making up this vintage girls' housecoat pattern. I love the fact that the girl in green is holding a kitty!
It came out beautifully, in thrifted polished cotton. Unfortunately, too small through the shoulders for Bella, so I will be putting it in my shop.
I love the fact that the pattern calls for ruffles absolutely everywhere it can! Here they are frosting the top of the pocket. I used vintage bias binding to finish the inner ruffle edge--a little secret for the girl who's wearing it.
And I love the puffy sleeve finished with a ruffle.

Gorgeous! The ruffles are charming. I'm with you -- I think vintage pattern illustrations are almost as fun as the patterns themselves.

That is absolutely beautiful and you are extremely talented in this area!
Oh my goodness...that is one pretty dress! I love all things vintage, and I can't resist dresses for my daughter. This one is a treasure.
Lovely blog!

That is too cute. I love the fabric you chose.
Lovely, simply lovely!
Just lovely, Anna. I hope it finds a dear little friend that will feel like a princess while wearing it.
You and your precious family have a beautiful day.
