I make pretty, original children's clothes using vintage linen - all of the clothes have some vintage linen incorporated in different ways -maybe the whole dress of just a yoke or pockets.
I source the linen from second-hand shops, the market, friends and my mum, then choose the nicest parts (with no tea stains), and make it into a dress or top.
This gives me a lot of satisfaction - better to have something wearable(and unique) than a lovely old cloth languishing in the linen cupboard. I do come across some beautiful old linen that is too special to recycle - that stays in my cupboard!
