PATRICIA Textiles

A favorite for sure, the PATRICIA fabric line has been used by many a crafter for everything from children’s and women’s clothing to petbeds, chair covers, and wristlet bags.

First seen over at Ikeahacker.com, I’ve been in love with this beautiful shower curtain dress made by Melissa Fehr for years. Gorgeous detailing, like the hot pink piping and a lacy edging to the cotton lining on the inside make this dress a true standout.  Matches the hot pink wellies perfectly!

Melissa’s not a one hit wonder, though! Other IKEA constructions:
