Vintage Baby Tees, What a FIND!


Today Polkadot Monkey went to the Antique
Mall in Mason, Michigan. She bought the box
of 12 perfect little long sleeve tie in the front,
87% cotton, 13 % wool Baby Teeshirts. Cool.
Probably from the 1930s. Lilja wore some we
found just like this. Now the Monk needs to
find more babies who wear age 18 mos size,
up to weight 24-26 pounds. The size 4 on the
box is probably a vintage size code from the
past.

Lilja's Flannel Jumper Set


Little polkadot babushka.


The owls are a pale lime green soft
flannel with flannel dotty pockets
and wide bottom band. The little
tie vest is reversible to the dotty
flannel.


She can wear the jumper in the deep
winter with the long pants and vest,
or the jumper with lined bodice can
be worn alone in the summertime.The
lining is the pale green dotty fabric of
the babushka.

This is a wonderful little versatile
girlie pattern that can be made very
modern or old-fashioned, depending
on fabrics and detailing. Putting it in
the mail tomorrow.
