I'm joining in at the last possible moment in Sew for Victory! I wouldn't have been able to, but Rochelle extended the deadline. Yay!!!
So in a couple of hours this afternoon, I took a tablecloth and sheet and turned them into what you see here. Quite in the spirit of "Make do and Mend". :o)
The skirt was super, super easy!!! As you can see in the before picture, it was already hemmed and trimmed. I simply cut out a circle waist and stitched in a gold elastic waistband. I'm wearing my Yellow Tulle skirt (seen Here and Here) as a petticoat.
The top was almost as easy. I used the top band of the sheet for the bottom hem of my blouse. I cut the facings out of the circle bit I removed from my tablecloth/skirt. No one can see them, but I like knowing they coordinate. :o) The top is Simplicity 1692 view D. I omitted the darts at the waist and put slits in the side seams.
The ring I'm wearing is a piece of Trench Art brought home by Hubby's Grandfather from WWII!

ReplyDeleteThe only thing keeping me from making a TON of them is I like variety in my wardrobe. Too much of the same thing and I get tired of it. :o)

DeleteTablecloth couture, I love it, don't you? I swear, everything made from them automatically looks divine. But the tulle underneath is perfection. Thanks for stopping by Project Minimum to see my tablecloth dress.
ReplyDeleteThey just might be the perfect material! :o)
