Pillowcase transformed into nightie – and some op-shopping
It must be a weekend – I have managed to do a little bit of sewing!
I’ve turned an unused flannelette pillowcase into a simple nightie for Clare, following the same tutorial as last time. She tends to get quite hot at night, so although it is flannelette and we are moving into winter, she likes that it is sleeveless. So here it is – before:
And after!
I managed to fit in a little op-shopping today – I was very pleased with my finds!
I intend to use the embroidered linens in clothing for Clare and the cross-stiched panel in a bag.
I also found this gorgeous apron:
The swans are all cross-stitched in the gingham squares, and it is ric-rac edged. All up, around $10. So it was pretty successful op-shopping – and in the same mall are another two op-shops which were closed today, but now I know when they’re open! I don’t know what it is about aprons, but I really like them (I know I’m not alone in that though).
I know !!! What is it about aprons? I just can’t go past them. I never use them and really have no space but that doesn’t stop me. Well done on the op-shopping. keep an eye on the post – something in the next parcel for little Miss Clare !
Love the nighty! Did you use yellow bias tape for the trim? Also, can I maybe just have a tiny little bite of one of those CUTE cheeks?! Just a small little nibble?
Thanks Charli – yes, I used bias for the trim, a fairly wide one. It made it a bit quicker to bind the armholes and do the shoulder straps, and since I had enough left over I folded it in half and sewed it on like ribbon around the top of the ruffle. The cheeks are very cute, aren’t they!
