ever since i saw a blog post by the black apple, i've been obsessed with doilies and what i could do with them! i found some great doilies from vintage supply seller, artsfarm, and away i went! i made this scarf, patterned after the one i saw on the black apple's fashion blog, some girls wonder.
next, i added a doily to this vintage vest, with a cute cute owl patch. it sold within HOURS in my shop!!
then i decided to put some on this vintage 80s black and white pinstriped jacket for the shop. if it wasn't a TAD too tight for me, i'd totally keep it. i LOVE LOVE LOVE the way it turned out.so, see there.... doilies aren't just for grandmas any more!!

Ooooh lovely! I got a black coat at a jumble sale that used to have a fur collar on but has been taken off - I'm going to make a doilie collar for it! Pity that owl vest sold - it's fab!
That vest is awesome! I see why it went so very quick.
i love doillies too, i use the paper ones for cards and collage. love the owl vest!
I really like the whole ensemble with the doilie scarf. hay haaay hay!

It looks so great! I always loved those, I just never knew they were called doilies!
My dog ate my doilies, or I'd steal the idea from you that you got from Black Apple. Damn dog.
I just loooove that "black and white pinstriped jacket" :) It is gorgeous!
