Renew, Reuse, and Redo...

Unlike the rainy forecast we had for this weekend, Saturday actually turned out to be a lovely warm sunny day here in London, and this surprising weather made me feel very inspired... 
Since decorating our bedroom, Sam and I have a few old sets of bedding that no longer match the rest of the room, and I just can't bring myself to throw them away... I came up with an idea to update these sheets and fashion myself a little Summer dress from them.



I cut the duvet cover into two large rectangles to make the front and back of the dress and placed them together facing outwards.

Once I had the dress all stitched in the correct places, I turned it the correct way out and put it on, using a long cut of ribbon tied around my waist to cinch it in.  It was so easy to make, and really made a beautiful, individual summer dress, perfect for the beach to bung on over your swimwear...


Give it a go for yourself and let me know how you get on, it really is as easy as it looks.
