P4P: ONCE A TABLECLOTH IN A SECOND HAND STORE

WELCOME TO PINNA 4 PIPER- A DELIGHTFULLY VINTAGE UPCYCLED ADVENTURE

Hi everyone, welcome to PINNA 4 PIPER's blog.

Here you will find posts on all my childrens clothing designs, past and present, that are handmade by yours truly for my label PINNA 4 PIPER! I like to consider PINNA 4 PIPER as an exclusive and eco- friendly label as the majority of items are made from a beautiful eclectic mix of vintage fabrics such as tablecloths, doilies and curtains or from second hand ( of the best quality ) garments that I have reworked. I love the treasure hunt and gather my inspiration from the fabrics I have found and the desire to bring them back into circulation once again.

I do use new fabrics as well but only in extremely limited quantities and only from the best fabric designers! There is no mass production involved and my collections contain one of a kind designs. The production from scratch all takes place in my families home around my very supportive husband and kiddies overlooking the ocean and surrounded by mother natures best landscapes and wildlife.

The bottom line is when you buy a PINNA 4 PIPER item you know you are adding to your childs' wardrobe a unique garment of clothing that is made with the best quality craftsmanship which is born from a passion of what I do and this garment will most definetely become a favourite for your little cherub.

ENJOY!

ONCE A TABLECLOTH IN A SECOND HAND STORE

I picked up this gorgeous vintage tablecloth from a second hand store, took it home and napisanned it, left it for a while and then finally got inspired to recreate it into this angelic dress. The photos don't do it any justice but my gorgeous auburn red, ringlet curly headed niece who resembles a cupid in those old fashioned photos certainly does do it the perfect justice.
