Simplicity New Look pattern 6809, thrifted bedsheet for the fabric.

A sheert? Yeah, a shirt made from a sheet, or in this case, remnants of two vintage sheets. This is made with the Simplicity New Look pattern 6809, which I'll definitely use again--it was simple, it fits, it was forgiving of my carelessness, and it's a good shape for lightweight sheet fabric. And now I've made something with sleeves! These sheet pieces were acquired in Lisa C.'s summer skirt sheet swap--thanks for the fun sheets! (yes, those are flamingos and palm trees)

Sewing for Halloween already! These are both made from the same very lovely thrifted sheet. The blouse is from Simplicity New Look 6809--somewhat longer than the pattern, because I took advantage of the other existing hem of the sheet. This is part of my costume... more soon. (After Halloween, I'll probably dye these a more wearable color, or colors.)
