… because some of them are really nice, that’s all. I always secretly hankered for this one to be a dress. Those extra wide stripes!
The design is my own, and I whipped this one up as a sample really, a way of checking my construction method for it as one of our future patterns and to aid in the process of writing it out accurately. I’ve made two of them previously; this one in ochre linen, and this one in green sparkly cotton.
This is cotton too, a former doona cover, that we had as a spare for years. It’s lovely and soft, and feels so beautiful against the skin. During our move, I’d decided we had plenty of other spare sheets and this one was actually nice enough for fabric.

Although it wasn’t a serious project I did finish it properly, and ultimately decided I liked it enough to give it bonafide wardrobe space. I wore it during our holiday in the Maldives, and took these photos while there. I love wearing this style, it’s a lovely and comfy dress to wear, and I really love the wide, beachy-coloured stripes too.
I hereby deem this dress: label worthy, hurrah!
The answer to your question is yes. I’ve used a sheet for a dress. Still have a few in my collection, as well as a few pillowcases to use for future makes. I love the sheet you’ve chosen for this dress. You’re right it’s definitely beach worthy. Hope you’re having/or had a wonderful time in the Maldives!
