I had some fun with a quick sewing project a few weeks ago. My sister, who is a photographer, was visiting that day, so it made it a lot easier to get some nice pictures...thanks, Becca!
I found these adorable babydoll bunk beds sitting by the curb on trash day several months ago. They were adorable and seemed to be in decent shape, so I decided to give them a new home!
I wanted to give them a bit of makeover, though, so I took an old sheet and a curtain valence we were not using and set to work to repurpose!
From the old flat sheet I made fitted sheets for both of the doll mattresses, a flat sheet for each, as well as a little pillow.
I kept things really simple...sew the edges for the fitted sheets, then flip them inside out.
The unused valence became baby blankets!
I used a seam-ripper to take off the loops for the curtain rod so I was left with a large rectangle. I cut that into two smaller pieces, finished the end, and instant blankets!
The end result:
This was a simple and easy way to repurpose (someone else's) trash and a few things that were collecting dust in my house. And I'm happy to report that a certain little girl is loving her baby bunk beds!
Any recent repurpose stories to share?
Oh, how cute is that!! You are so talented!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm glad it was so easy!
DeleteAmazingly cute. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI love the way it turned out, too. Thanks!
DeleteI love repurposed items. I was given a leather coat to use as I want. I hope to make a short coat out of it. The last thing I did was to take a mink stoll and make it into a vest. I used the mink for the front and since there wasn't enough for the back to work properly I took a wool blend that matched and did the back. You will be able to see it on www.louannssewingroom.com. Unfortunately I didn't take a picture of the stoll before hand.
