I LOVED seeing your responses to my It’s Curtains for You, Sweetheart post! It was nice to discover I’m not the only person digging in the bins for sweetly cheap fabric!
This curtain refashion by Sloane is pretty amazing, and it made this old school theatre gal proud. 🙂
Last summer I made a Mary Poppins costume for a friend completely from curtain panels I bought at a ‘back room’ manufacturer sale, $1 a pound! And also a mini Mary costume for another cast member’s American Girl doll.
I love it! And I love how thoughtful she was for making an outfit for her friend’s daughter’s doll! That definitely gave me an extra grin.
I hope you’ll check out Sloane’s amazing blog, From Literature to Life for lots of literary/costuming inspiration! 🙂
Cheers!
I’m secretly a huge Mary Poppins fan… and this is so amazing.
I just wanted to let you know how delighted I am that you are doing a post everyday. I missed you when you were gone! You are my favorite blogger, I am also a thrifter and remaker and look forward to it every single day. thanks so much! very inspiring.
Jillian I really enjoy your blog….it gives me an itch to go and shop at a thrift store and create…now all I need is the time :)…. I have several kids so there is not much time right now…so I will live vicariously through your blog for a bit of time…I am so excited you are posting more…your posts help bring a smile to my day…thanks
so talented!
Costume envy! My husband and I did Halloween as Popeye and Olive. I thrifted a black pencil skirt and red sweater, then added trimmings and accessories. I’ve fashioned our costumes since we met 7 years ago from thrift finds. But nothing as well done as this Poppins costume!!
What a sweet refashion!
j’adore, c’est vraiment sympa 🙂
Beautiful job! And so nice to make the mini costume for the other cast member 🙂
That’s a very well-done Mary Poppins dress. The backstory — and matching doll dress — just makes it so much better. Well done, Sloane!
