Sheets made into Dresses and Skirts

By Amy

I have really been sewing non stop since the beginning of the year and I have been loving it so much. I feel I have improved so much and I learn a something new with every project I complete. I am so happy so show you what I have done with Thrift store bed sheets.
 


This one was actually a duvet that why I have to different designs that match really great together. The ties that you see can be tied in the front or the back to give you a different look.
 

 
I didn't make the shirt but I picked it up at the local DI which I will eventually make it into a short sleeved shirt for the summer.



 
I enjoyed this check yellow pattern and found a simple skirt pattern from morning by morning productions she has great tutorial to go along with the pattern.

 
I love how simple and fun the skirt is I just see myself running through a field of flowers with the Sunshine at my back.

 
I didn't make the shirt but I need to take it in on the side and make it a short sleeve shirt I might add in some ruffles for fun.


 
I found this number and knew I had to make something I could wear out of it. I found another simple pattern using pinterest that also has a great tutorial on how to make the dress. blog for better sewing I enjoyed the fabric that she used maybe I could find a sheet like that and make one.
 
 
This skirt gives me a look of a 70s house wife waiting for her husband to come home to a sparkly clean house and a hot dinner.

 
I love this dress except for the fact that it snags on most thing. But its shiny! It a simple pattern I purchased from running-w-scissors a while ago. I love how the pattern fits me and I will be making more of these to wear throughout the summer. This one is just for special occasions like dates with my husband.


 
This is the same pattern as above and I love wearing this everywhere. I feel like I'm wearing my grandmas sheets but I totally okay with that. This dress also comes with pockets which is perfect for a mom with kids.
 


 
The length on the dress is my favorite, I will for sure make a few of these as well.

 
This is the waist that is sheered with elastic thread to make it super comfy!
 
That all for now but I have so many projects in my to do list that I will be excited to post them all next month.
 
Have Fun Crafting!
