more pics of what i made yesterday and some from today.

another pic of the watermelon dress....

a pic of some long shorts i made for RJ out of an vintage mickey mouse pillowcase, one of his favourite shows on playhouse disney is mickey mouse clubhouse so i had to buy it when i saw it and knew it would be perfect for some cute shorts for RJ. i dont have action shots, he was wearing no nappy with it today as it was so hot we went outside but then he pee'd without telling me he needed to so pee'd on his pants lol.....

lastly is a pair of long wide shorts for me. they are made from 2 vintage pillowcases. they are like the ugliest things ever but oh so comfortable. and perfect for lounging around the house in. a mini tutorial minus pics.....take two pillowcases, any will do as long as you are happy to cut them up. then cut along the fold line of the closed end of the pillowcase, the open end will be the bottom of the shorts. lay on top of each other and cut out a crotch (after you have measured yourself and decided how far you need to cut down) then if you want them wide you leave as is or if you want to slim them down a bit then take a bit of each side (cut opposite side of where you cut the crotch of course)so if you have taken a bit off the side you will need to sew up the seams, other wise if you are just leaving as is just sew up the crotch. then sew a waistband. and you are done! simple as that. you will have a bit of fabric at the bottom (which was the open end of the pillowcase) and will get in the way when you put them on and you may feel that against your legs as you walk, if it bothers you, you can easily cut it off and finish the seams. but i didnt bother. so if you make a pair of these, let me know by leaving a comment...although i might be the only one silly enough to do this lmao.
