Tutorial: Make a chemise out of a silky pillowcase

July 16, 2012 by Anne Weaver

Cathy from Trinkets in Bloom shows how you can make your own chemise.  The design is essentially a pillowcase dress.  Instead of making it out of a cute cotton for a little girl, she makes it out of a silky pillowcase and turns it into a sexy little number for herself.  The pillowcase she used had lace trim around the edge, but if you could also add some lace trim to a plain pillowcase.  Or, if you can’t find a silky pillowcase (lace trimmed or not), you could always use some yardage and make it from scratch.  Get the tute.

Sewing Pattern – Paper Bag Pants Pattern

The paper bag pants pattern is a favorite of casual chic dressers. It is a super easy project perfect for sewing over the weekend. If you pair it with a cardigan and booties, vans shoes or sandals it is sure to become your favorite outfit when you are hoping to look cool but not overdressed.

Two pockets in the front will ensure you can carry a few things like your phone and wallet.

The elastic waistband gives you room for a curvy bum or gives shape to a flat one. Two pockets in the front and a belted waistband to tie your pants around your waist, tapered legs that fall just above your ankles round up this very comfortable design.
