Sew Vintage Bed Sheets into new cloths

K B Vanhorn who writes the blog, A Patchwork World, totally scored this vintage bed sheet she had been hunting for and she worked her magic and turned it into the cutest sundress for her daughter and a coordinating skirt for herself that you can see here. I love when a kid print fabric is used to make adult cloths. It really can put a smile on your face. And if you need something that cute and made from fun fabric check out her store.

Vintage sheets are very popular for re-styling or recycling of fabric and a great way to use these fun and bold prints rather than just storing grannies old bedsheets in the cupboard. You can see more articles using vintage sheets here. Don’t have any vintage bed sheets of your own? Check these out on Etsy.
