I thought I'd better get busy on that
38 yards of fabric I bought at Goodwill for $5.75. I mailed the two yards of ski fabric to
duckbucket today. I can't wait to see what she makes with it. I used 2 1/3 yards of green cotton crinkle fabric to make 3 pillowcase dresses to send to Haiti. I used this
pattern from
Nancy's Notions which includes sizes small to extra large.
At 15 cents per yard, these dresses cost about 12 cents each for the fabric. After adding for the bias binding and elastic, I'm up to about $1.50 per dress!
Total Goodwill treasure 38 yards
ski fabric sent to
duckbucket 2
3 green cotton pillowcase dresses 2 1/3

Those are very lovely! What a great way to use the cheerful bright green fabric. The little girls will be pleased with such pretty new dresses! Shauna
ReplyDeleteThank you Shauna! They are such fun to make!
DeleteThese little dresses are adorable.
ReplyDeleteI came across your blog today after Googling for Kwik Sew 3915. Your top looks lovely and I went on to order the pattern.
I'm returning to dressmaking after a long break so I've joined your blog as a new follower. I'm sure you will inspire me :)

It's so great that you're returning to sewing! I'd love to see your new Kwik Sew top when you get it completed.
