The first one is made with the bottom of a pair of jeans and a strip of dark blue jersey from a t-shirt. The bonus is I can now make myself a pair of capris with the rest of the jeans.
The second comes from a vintage sheet. The top hem was beautifully detailed and even had a bit of eyelet trim. I simply made a tube, created a casing and inserted an elastic. Done.
What to make tomorrow?
Thanks for reading!

ReplyDeleteThanks Alexis! What I liked the most about the Sweet Little Dress pattern is the fact you iron the hems before sewing the dress together. So much easier to get the rounded neckline to look nice.
pretty pretty! i am a sucker for little brown haired girls and vintage sheets!!! i get in trouble when i come home with more loot from goodwill... my husband wonders how many vintage pillow cases one person needs... but i can't quit buying them... because, lets face it, if you don't get it when you see it, its G O N E. saw you at TRH and clicked because i thought it was toooo cute.

ReplyDeleteThanks Jenna!
I'm the same way when it comes to buying vintage sheets and pillowcases. It's addictive!
I love vintage fabrics. They are so soft and just plain lovely. Pretty skirts!

ReplyDeleteSweet skirts! The yellow prints together are darling.
ReplyDeleteI love the skirts. I made a jean skirt just like that for my daughter awhile back, she wears it all the time since it matches just about everything.
