8 dresses


with my new job, i am working 3 12-hour shifts,
which leaves me 4 days off a week.

what's a girl to do with all that time?

i've been expanding my wardrobe,

1 dress at a time.


most of my fabric starts out as vintage sheets,
i just love the colors and patterns.
(not to mention ALL this fabric only cost $12!


this was for my niece cali's 2nd birthday

ruffle trim neckline and elastic sleeves

neckline

my second one for me

pleats down the front

wrap dress
(my easter dress :))

my favorite part,
the ruffle neckline


i am in the middle of an 8 day break from work
and when my dad asked what i was going to do i told him,

"make 8 dresses :)"

  1. wow! I'm impressed. When I have attempted to make clothes from sheets it never works because they are stiff. What patterns or tutorials are you using, if any?
