Some inspiration

I'm trawling through the archives of a community I just stumbled across, and found some stuff I love. A whole post of turn of the century children's illustrations:

I want this top. And possibly the hat.

Thanks for those links!! How cool!!

I think I am going to buy those downloads. Print them out on some fabric, and make a really nifty quilt!!

Oh CRAP!!

Or on corset bags?? Applique one of the photos and use crazy-quilt style embroidery on it. Add some bits of lace, ribbon flowers. Fun!! And totally original! Not to mention easy-peasy!

They are so gorgeous. My mum used do do line-doodley drawings like that when I was younger, I've always loved illustrations like that.
