A Vintage Sheet Dress

I fell in love with a vintage sheet I have been sewing aprons out of, so I made myself a pattern and then a dress and.......it didn't fit. I was very, *very* frustrated, but I've decided to just sell it and move on. It's all about learning what not to do next time! I had a couple friends model it for me and oh, aren't they stunning!

Last weekend, The Gentleman treated me to a mini shopping spree at Rue 21. I browsed through the store and found a few items I liked and then these shorts caught my eye:

But then the price tag of $24.95 caught my eye too, and I turned them down. I've seen enough DIY shorts that there was no way I was going to pay $25 for a pair! So a few days later I went home, gathered the materials I'd need, and got to work.
