I love sheets for material use. Big pieces of fabric most folks throw out when they no longer match the bedroom, and I pick up cheap for sewing! These two are some most recent creations. Super Boy is modeling the skirt, because he insisted, but it is for Pony Gal. I found this number at a Goodwill in the Big City and also ended up making myself a skirt with it. The dress on Pony Gal is from an old sheet of my grandmother. She had to move to an assisted living facility a few months back and I grabbed some sheets from the stuff that she had to part with. I love that I can keep a part of her with us in odd ways. Pony Gal has clothes made from Dad's grandma's stash as well.

LOVE THE SHEETS! I really ought to shop garage sales more often.
ReplyDeletePink and green flowers, LOL! I had those same sheets when I was little. Very cute as a skirt!
ReplyDeleteLooks great!
ReplyDeleteLove it! The skirt doesn't look like a sheet at all! I'm definitely going to have to try this out.
ReplyDeleteI love this! I do it all the time, too. I especially love knit sheets -- they make the best pjs, tanks tops, t-shirts, and shorts. The dresses you made are just precious. Thanks for sharing this in Simple Lives Thursday!
ReplyDeleteAdorable! I think you might have posted this to the wrong blog party at A Little Bit of Spain in Iowa - :O)
ReplyDeleteNope, it was meant for Simple Lives Thursday. I sew a lot of the kids' clothes from reclaimed fabric in the form of sheets, curtains and adult clothing cast offs.
ReplyDeleteHi Abby, I adore thrifted sheets because they are so darn soft, but these clothes so remind me of when my gang was little! Awesome! I see you linked as well to the two for tuesday recipe blog hop, so if you could put a backlink so others can share in the fun that would be great! Thanks! Alex@amoderatelife
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I love thrift stores and maybe I will try this.
ReplyDeleteSorry I'm just now getting to this, but I was super busy before and bookmarked for later. Well, now is later...lol. I love these! They're awesome. Makes me want to try it. Thanks so much for sharing.
