Here lately, vintage sheets have been up there with mason jars in my book. I'm in love with their cheery patterns and bright designs. I can't seem to get enough of them...
Currently, I have a little project going with them, but there's so much fabric! I know I could get several projects out of them!
What kind of fun projects have you done with vintage sheets?

I'm also an avid vintage sheet collector. You can't beat the price for the amount of cute fabric you get! Last year I made a bunch of re-usable shopping bags with them, and last week I made a dress.

AHH! That is ADORABLE! Man, I wish I could follow a pattern better...or I might attempt that myself!! Awesome job!
Deleteme too! I make smocked dresses out of them and I love to put them on guest beds. I made a maternity dress out of one that was so comfy i wore it constantly.
ReplyDeleteUhh! I LOVE a smocked dress! ...and even better- one made from vintage sheets! I bet it was fabulous!
DeleteI've made curtains and pillows from them before or just used them back when I had a twin bed. I got 6 unopened vintage sheet sets from an auction once and I LOVED them! Totally wore them out because I used them so much!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome score!! Makes me want to go to an auction!
DeleteI love finding nice crisp vintage sheets when I go to garage sales - they go straight on our beds after being washed and line dried. They brighten bedroom up so much. I am searching for some fun blue or yellow print ones right now to make curtains in our bedroom.
ReplyDeleteHow fun! They would be neat as curtains...and there's certainly enough fabric for it! Good luck!
DeleteI'm not much of a seamstress but I buy vintage sheets all the time and use them on the beds if I can. However, if there's a big rip or stain or whatever, I can sew up a pillowcase and so I make sets of cheery pillowcases.
ReplyDeleteSeriously! Why not! I bet your beds are fabulous!
DeleteI too love vintage sheets and fabric. I got four different sets at a yard sale last year for $1.00 each (queen sets!) and so far they were used for my daughter's 2nd birthday. We had a vintage girl theme so I used one as a tablecloth and cut up another to sew a pennant banner. This year I cut up another to cover some photobooks I made as Mother's Day presents for my mum and grandmother.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful! What awesome projects! It's pretty amazing you've gotten so much use out of something that cost $1!!
Deleteaprons don't for get them, and jammies or night gown how perfect this wonderful bedding to work for the best time of the day... night time.
ReplyDeleteI have to laugh! The bottom two on your photo I purchased last week! I'm making a vintage sheet quilt for my daughter! They are so cheap and easy to find. I love them!
