Fresh Shops: vintagegreenpeas
Article Header Image

I consider myself extremely lucky to have both a son and a daughter.  While there are plenty of differences, there is one that I wasn't expecting at all : people LOVE to buy clothes for girls. My son was born first and plenty of friends sent us gifts; we expected fewer gifts when my daughter was born. Um, no.  People came out of the woodwork to buy her dresses, hair ribbons (despite her middle-aged man pate), skirts, and skin-care (ok, maybe not). 

I must say that this extreme generosity was not guilt-free for us. There were lots of great clothes, but they were mostly only to be worn once.  Sure, we gave away whatever we could, but there's still some waste.  

I mentioned this phenomenon to Ashley and her eyes lit up: "I have the perfect shop for that!"

vintagegreenpeas, who opened up shop in May, makes adorable skirts and dresses from vintage pillowcases.  It may only be worn once by your daughter, but it's had plenty of use before!

See more Fresh Shops and say hey to a new seller!

To be able to make clothes from pillowcases that don't LOOK like clothes made from pillowcases is simply amazing! I'm totally impressed!

I'm guessing that the kids grow out of them that quickly!

"Only worn once" culprits include: spaghetti stains, your cousin's wedding for which your child had to have a "special" outfit, and yes, growth spurts. If a lovely piece of vintage fabric survived its first life, it certainly must stand a good chance of surviving kids in its second! Keep 'em coming vintagegreenpeas...

Great idea, vintagegreenpeas! I bet these little outfits are super soft. What could be better than up-cycled and adorable too?
