Plans



I found this duvet cover in the charity shop on saturday. I was thinking of making the skirt for the Traveller dress view C (top left corner of pattern envelope) I think to make another shift style dress in this fabric could be too much holiday kaftan-like for me. What do you think?

The duvet cover is currently doing duty as a play tent in the garden prior to being cut up for a dress.

  2. What a great find! I think a skirt would look good in that fabric, maybe with some cute buttons? Good luck deciding!

  3. So cute! I agree that the fabric needs a little more structure than the shift (which was adorable). It would also look fantastic as the shirt dress.

  4. I agree, just saw another cute version of this pattern. Every time I find a great vintage sheet it is yellow--which I cannot wear.

  6. Lovely skirt visions have I. Maybe with visible pockets (as opposed to side seam pockets) with perhaps a bit of yellow/ light green piping?
