Pink and Gray

HAPPY PINK SATURDAY!  In the 60's, I was in elementary school, the 5th grade, when pink and gray became very popular!  I loved that combination and drooled over my friend's pink and grey wool plaid skirt with the pink sweater!! So I love that that combo is back again!...and I find I like the mustard yellow with grey as well.  This is one side of my new reversible pinafore set.  I love this old hand knitted lace and 60's trim.  The gray cotton sateen is upcycled men's shirting fabric!



Here is the other side.  I can't decide if I think it is rosebuds or  cherries.  It is from a piece of vintage 80's fabric I found. It was so fun sewing the lace onto the fabric and creating the little ruffle pants!  I had just enough of the little pink lace to go around the legs, too! 


I make this hat based on an internet free pattern I found.  Love the way the petals curl up.  I think this would be adorable with this outfit!

Not sure what to do with these beautiful embroideries YET.  They are a wee bit fragile;  I am wondering about pillows?
...and finally, do kids wear polyester any more?  I was given this cool, very 60s poly fabric.  So what do you think?
