I Turned My Grandma’s Kitchen Wallpaper Into A Spring Dress To Preserve Priceless Childhood Memories
Growing up I always thought this flowered wallpaper from my grandmother’s kitchen would make a nice spring dress…
So when that kitchen was remodeled recently for the sale of the house, I had a chance to make that fantasy a reality! It was a great way to say goodbye to a house full of so many childhood memories.

Really beautiful! Perhaps you should scan the wallpaper and have it printed on fabric as well, for some softer garments? ;)
Oh that's actually a fantastic idea! Already planning to frame some to hang in my own kitchen...but that would be even better!!

You could have fabric made for you at Spoonflower or something... It looks amazing, btw! Totally my style! I actually have a similar pattern on a dress that I made, which my husband jokingly refers to as my "great aunt curtains" dress...
Yes! I think I will. Thanks! That's so funny. I actually added my aunt's curtains to my bridesmaids dresses awhile back xD

It is entirely the paper, minus the zipper :) The type of wallpaper is mesh like so it's thicker than regular paper

Gorgeous you and the dress and your grandma looks like very kind and sweet person! Much love! :)
So beautiful! I think it would have made your grandma smile. :)
Such a beautiful way to remember your Grandma and to showcase such a delightful design...
Outstanding! Loving wallpaper as I do - that is creativity at its' finest! ATTAGIRL!!
Stunning! You look beautiful, and it's a wonderful way to preserve priceless memories.
Hey Emily! I think this dress was a cool idea, I hope you find out similar great clothes like this or a dress from neckties :)
Thank you! I've been trying to do at least one upcycled outfit per year. Next one...let's just say I'm saving puzzle pieces :)

It actually went through the sewing machine like very stiff fabric...although it made it hard to breathe, bend, or sit in!
