Some time ago I bought a quilt cover. It was a second. Not much wrong with it that I could find but I happily cut it up and used it to make new things.
First I made this skirt, using cut off jeans for the top.
Then I made this skirt
and lastly I have made this dress
It still
needs a belt but that will have to wait until I get to the shops to get some petersham ribbon so that I can finish that. The belt is in the check fabric. The pattern for this was a 1960's one
Just for fun I added the fox applique - coz I know only a foxy woman would want to wear this rebellious little dress - well it was back in the 60's when women were challenging the status quo in all sorts of ways.
The first skirt has already gone to a good home. The second one is for sale in my
Blue Caravan shop
When I finish the dress it too will be for sale in one of my on-line shops. There is still a little bit of the quilt fabric left. Not sure what I will do with that yet but in the mean time - here's to red, white and blue!
What a fantastic number of things you have created from one...the top skirt is my favourite.
