Tablecloth Night Gown

The mention of nighties in my previous post has reminded me that there was one late, last minute extra nightie made shortly before Christmas, so a very quick rewind to 2014 again, because if I don't show you now I won't get round to it again.

Not the best photo ever, and a little creased - but it made a nice change not to be having to take secretive photos on hangers anymore.

This one started life as a very pink tablecloth in a charity shop. I used the same kind of design as for the doily dress, but to fit in with the dimensions of the table cloth, and to make the most of the pattern on it, I created a separate top piece.

Not quite finished here, but, if you're interested, hopefully the construction might make sense from this if you refer back to previous nightie posts.

Venetia was very happy with it and with her other nightie, as was Maria with hers. And while I'm on last year still, I'm happy to also report that they both loved their Frozen dresses. Very difficult to get any good pictures of these because they really would not stay still in them, but here's my best attempt...

Mid song of course!

So a final recap, there were 4 nighties and 1 dress all made completely from thrifted/recycled fabric, and 2 Frozen inspired dresses made almost completely from thrifted fabric, just a little bit of new for Maria's 'cloak'. Sheets, duvet cover, net curtains, and tablecloth all bought for very little money.

So before you go and splurge on new fabric in the sales, go and have a browse round your local charity shop first!

There's another Magpie Monday over at Me and My Shadow to link up with, as well as a Make, Thrift & Tell link party at Idle Needle.
