Repurposing...

So, I'm not so much into cleaning (apparently) but I am into repurposing. So, when my daughter decided she wanted an Alice in Wonderland theme to her birthday party, I went to the thrift store looking for something I could transform into a dress/pinafore.

I bought a pair of king sized muslin pillowcases with a printed design on the open end... and managed... without a pattern... to tranform one of them into a pinafore!


The dress is actually made from a t-shirt we had that never got worn, and some fabric I had from a previous project that never got done... *sigh*... Oh... and obviously we're thinking outside the box... Alice had to be pink instead of blue...

It was fun! And somehow (I guess because I wasn't fighting with a pattern) I did both the dress and the pinafore in ONE DAY! That's my kind of sewing!
