Sewing Tutorial: Denim top and vintage sheet dress

I was in love with this dress by Bev from Flamingo Toes before I knew how she made it. Then, when I saw how easy it was – and how inexpensive the materials – I loved it even more! The top is a thrifted denim shirt and the skirt is made from a vintage sheet. She’s got a tutorial showing how she made it. Her tutorial is part of the Sundressing series by Melly Sews.

You can see more articles using vintage sheets here. Don’t have any vintage bed sheets of your own? Check these out on Etsy.
