I used one of my sheet remnants from Lisa's thrifted bedsheet swap to make my first tiered skirt ever--it's not perfect, but it's definitely wearable. The tan paisley was from the swap; the middle panel is from some yardage I got at a church rummage sale years ago. (Four fat quarters of that one are going to Oh Fransson's vintage linens swap.) The eyelet trim I bought, because I'm pretty bad at hems, as it turns out.... Oh--I mostly followed the pattern at this site, but only made three tiers and added the eyelet trim in place of the fourth, and put in a drawstring instead of elastic... www.jcarolinecreative.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Store_Co... :

These are for Oh Fransson's fat quarters vintage linens swap. There are four of the paisley, which was from yardage I got at a church rummage years ago. There are two of the tan/purple/blue/gold floral in the middle (Royal Cannon 50/50 pillowcase), and two of the yellow/orange/green tulip print at the bottom (IKEA pillowcase).

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)
