one ripped bed sheet...

don't forget to post a comment on monday's post to be entered in a random drawing give-away for upcycled wool coasters!

one ripped sheet leads to:

toddler pajama pants (complete with elastic removed from one sheet corner)


a body pillow case


a pocket for a doll diaper bag. i sewed the bag to replace a vinyl one lala had
incidentally, the bag didn't come out quite as i had intended. it was too long, so i had to chop at the bottom, since i had already done the zipper. and the zipper was my first zipper ever, so there was no way i was redoing it! it came out fairly well considering i had no zipper foot. (long story. newish-to-me machine, had zipper foot, didn't fit.) the pocket doesn't look centered in the photo, but it is. and the recipient? she loved it and toted it around all day!


and yes, i think all that white is a little....empty. i wanted white for the pillow case, but the PJ pants i might dye. and the doll pocket? well, i don't embroider (yet?), but i could let lala fabric paint or i could try freezer paper stencils for the first time.....
