You are so clever Catherine you never cease to amaze me and I never know what you’re gonna do next that top is amazing and far too good to keep for bed it’s a good combo for those shorts with a nice pair of sandals and bag to wear on holiday or a nice summer day the floral pattern on it is just gorgeous well done you 👏🏻
The top looks fabulous and the fact that you repurposed the pillowcases makes it even better. Curtains into a dress? Heck yeah! Maybe a whole series of charity shop fabric upcycling!
That's fabulous Catherine. Back in early 1980s I made myself a dress out of a cotton mix flat bed sheet in a lovely soft pink. All by hand stitching. I hadn't got a sewing machine and no way could afford one. The compliments I got was overwhelming. Never confessed it was a bed sheet. Ha ha.
That's the only way I would get a "new" dress when I was little. My grandmother made a pattern out of newspaper used any kind of material that was left over from bedsheets to taking apart wornout clothes and remaking it into something else for me to wear. When you're the smallest one around in a poor family you just make do.
Just love the top and your personality 🎉. There’s a shop in Wexford town that sell material, wool and patterns. No pattern book to flick through but they have patterns on show. ☘️🌈
I decided to go back to watch some of your older videos. This one was my first stop. Omg, is that the cutest top ever! I like the fabric, too. It 'hangs' really nicely. I've been toying with the idea of making a simple long dress from a flannel sheet that I got at the second hand store. I'm inspired to do it now. Thanks
You are a constant source of amazement !! You are the complete package, sweet girl.. we bow, in amazement, at the range of your skills. With much love, from your Tennessee grandmother !! ( what is the matter with the men in Ireland, here in the US southern states, the men would be lining up to tie your bows !! )❤️❤️
I think that top is awesome and would look really nice with Chaps that people ride when horseback riding and that blazer for a really stunning outfit. Wow beautiful
Oh my gosh! When you said you were going to try to use curtains next for a sewing project, all I could think about was American comedienne Carol Burnett doing her Gone With the Wind parody (can be found on UA-cam) with the dress made of curtains. Very funny sketch. I love the top you made. It’s so pretty. In our family we have repurposed bed sheets for all kinds of things, curtains being our favorite. You always do such wonderful projects with repurposed material. Great job. Hi Blondie! 👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️🌸🌸🌼🌼🐱🐱🐱
I think Blondie is stealing the show Catherine!😅 I just love how she pops up whenever you are crafting etc. I love cats and have always had one in my life until our last cat and German shepherd dog died a few years ago, each aged 15years. You are so talented and the blouse looks beautiful.👏👌💖
Love the blouse. So cute. It looks great as a nightime/ lounge piece. It also looked good styled, as it nipped it in for your petite self. Would be cute with a pencil skirt.
I would wear this during the day.its stunning.well done. If I can only get hold of patterns on our side of the world. Yes you get patterns but to find plain simple ones...Ai jai jai. Love the floral pattern.
Oh Catherine! I will watch any video project you do….but this one made me a little anxious, hahaha. I DO NOT know how to sew. It requires far too much attention to detail and spatial thinking. I applaud you for having that skill. It looks great. You’ve proven to people that you could wear a bed sheet and look beautiful! Have a great day!!!
It’s that time of year! The wind is blowing, the rain is pouring and the sewing machine is out. This turned out pretty cute! The last thing I made from bedsheets was curtains for my dining room. 😂
That's beautiful Catherine! I love the print and that you re- purposed a friggen pillow case lol. Brilliant! I love it lose too. It looks sweet and girly. You're such a joy to watch. An inspiration! You look tres chic indeed 😍
It's adorable! Try yard sales for linens for your sewing projects. Cottage Core style of dresses can easily be made with little bits of lace, crochet and bed linens or old curtains. Great job. 🌺❤🌺
You make this look so easy, but, as a sewer of old, I know it is not. And, what a great idea to use the pillowcase fabric. Sheets do come in such wonderful patterns. And, it’s a great style for you.
I think this is an awesome idea using various sheets/pillow cases. You did a great job and I think it looks great. I bet it feels great sleeping in. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
here.. i have been wondering for half of my life... if i could turn my bed sheets and extra pillow cases... and now i have my answer.... even curtains... i have seen turned into an awesome dress... and well fabric is fabric.. i guess.... just under a category... thanku for ur awesome idea.. i loved it... now i will not feel to bad.. thinking i am wearing a curtain or a bed sheet... 😁😁😁😘🥰
How cute, and I never would have known it's from a pillowcase! It's a rainy day where I am in the US, so I'm sewing a summer dress today and pretending that we're not heading into winter 😂 Great job!!
That sheet was very pretty already, but you looked so pretty at the end... I can picture you in a french café - boulangerie with a café au lait ☕and a croisant🥐,yes that does look very chic indeed😊.
Very pretty fabric. I agree that a couple of darts might make the top more flattering….it was a bit too much fabric in the back. Very clever idea to use the pillowcases for clothing.
Your top turned out very cute❣️ My mother (and consequently me too) would go to the thrift store on "seniors" day and buy the largest flat sheets, then she would back her quilts with them. No seaming down the center and a whole lot less expensive.
How clever. Well done you. A very good idea of yours to use bed sheets etc to practice making a garment first. Your blouse looks beautiful and very chic.
Hi Catherine, I have made a few things out of curtains, sheets and duvet covers. The last was a pair of Simplicity trousers out of a pair of red next curtains from a charity shop. Love your channel x x Debbie x
Wow!!! This is awesome.. I love this so much.. it looks really pretty on you.. you could totally wear this in spring/summer.. I’m thinking charity shops and the linen section for fabric 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪I’m never going to look at bedsheets the same way again 😅😅 Minds going crazy!! LIVING FOR IT!!
Close out sales or clearance racks is where to go. A few years back I bought some king size pillow shams on clearance and converted them to small lap blankets. The shams were 90% off so I bought several to create my blankets, sofa pillows, & throw pillows. I also bought one 84-inch panel drapery that had no pair. I made two shorter curtains with it & put rod pockets & used them to cover my shed window. They were floral with vines very pretty. Loved your sheet blouse. If Scarlett O` Hara can do it so, can we!!! 🧡💚💜😉
That fabric is so pretty! I think it came out cute. I just found these old blue, sheer, long floral curtain panels and I cant wait to make them into something.
You are so clever Catherine you never cease to amaze me and I never know what you’re gonna do next that top is amazing and far too good to keep for bed it’s a good combo for those shorts with a nice pair of sandals and bag to wear on holiday or a nice summer day the floral pattern on it is just gorgeous well done you 👏🏻
Thanks so much 😊 your kind comment put a smile on my face x
I love how you say “those are jokes” but you ALWAYS look GORGEOUS in everything you wear👗👖🧥
The top looks fabulous and the fact that you repurposed the pillowcases makes it even better. Curtains into a dress? Heck yeah! Maybe a whole series of charity shop fabric upcycling!
Now there is an idea!
Eat your heart out, Julie Andrews!
Floral Parisian Safari Sheet !🤣 It looks fabulous love it, fun sewing inspiration 👍
Floral, safari, Parisian, chic!!! You are the most adorable 🥰
That's fabulous Catherine. Back in early 1980s I made myself a dress out of a cotton mix flat bed sheet in a lovely soft pink. All by hand stitching. I hadn't got a sewing machine and no way could afford one. The compliments I got was overwhelming. Never confessed it was a bed sheet. Ha ha.
Oh well done, LOVE that you were able to hand stitch it. A credit to you x
Sounds beautiful ! 💗
That's the only way I would get a "new" dress when I was little.

Pillow case dress are very popular for little girls too
Just love the top and your personality 🎉. There’s a shop in Wexford town that sell material, wool and patterns. No pattern book to flick through but they have patterns on show. ☘️🌈

This is such a fun upcycle idea.
Thanks Kelli x
I so agree about accurate cutting being very important. I have learned this the hard way!
Me too xxx
You make this look so easy, but, as a sewer of old, I know it is not. And, what a great idea to use the pillowcase fabric. Sheets do come in such wonderful patterns. And, it’s a great style for you.
What a great way to recycle your pillowcases! Your top turned out really cute!
Thanks so much! 😊
I think this is an awesome idea using various sheets/pillow cases. You did a great job and I think it looks great. I bet it feels great sleeping in. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Very nice. What a great job you did. Have a great day.
It’s adorable. Well done ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Very cute. I love how Blondie 'helps', as only cats know how ! Hi from Australia 🇦🇺 xx
How cute, and I never would have known it's from a pillowcase! It's a rainy day where I am in the US, so I'm sewing a summer dress today and pretending that we're not heading into winter 😂
Great job!!
It’s gorgeous as either day wear or as a pj top🥰🤦🏻♀️
Very Impressive!! What a wonderful example of being so resourceful, especially during these challenging economic times, Hooray for You!
Aw, thank you very much! x
That sheet was very pretty already, but you looked so pretty at the end...
I can picture you in a french café - boulangerie with a café au lait ☕and a croisant🥐,yes that does look very chic indeed😊.
Oh now that is a vision! x
That is adorable. Thank you for sharing. Have a blessed week.
Very pretty fabric. I agree that a couple of darts might make the top more flattering….it was a bit too much fabric in the back. Very clever idea to use the pillowcases for clothing.
I absolutely love your pillow case top!!!! I would wear it for everyday wear!!! It is so cute!!!!
Your top turned out very cute❣️ My mother (and consequently me too) would go to the thrift store on "seniors" day and buy the largest flat sheets, then she would back her quilts with them. No seaming down the center and a whole lot less expensive.
My mom used bed sheets to make bridesmaids dresses for my sister's wedding. They turned out beautiful. Keep inspiring!❤
Congratulations 👏👏👏
What a fun video and an adorable top!
Great print on that blouse. It would look smashing with a button-up midi khaki skirt as well, very Out of Africa or mid-80s-Ralph-Lauren.
You would have been very popular during the depression era. Lots of dresses were made of flour sacks. You are darling.
Oh a flour sack dress, now there is an upcycle x
How clever. Well done you. A very good idea of yours to use bed sheets etc to practice making a garment first. Your blouse looks beautiful and very chic.
So impressive 💃 I'd love some house dresses in that pattern!!
Hi Catherine, I have made a few things out of curtains, sheets and duvet covers. The last was a pair of Simplicity trousers out of a pair of red next curtains from a charity shop. Love your channel x x Debbie x

Loved your sheet blouse. If Scarlett O` Hara can do it so, can we!!! 🧡💚💜😉
Adorable! You are so talented!
It is adorable! I would wear it as a top.
That fabric is so pretty! I think it came out cute. I just found these old blue, sheer, long floral curtain panels and I cant wait to make them into something.
So clever and cute!
Cute summer shirt.
Love that print Catherine looks so pretty ❤️
Your top is very elegant I love it and it looks so nice on you!
That really goes with the shorts
