Now I know for sure that I am not alone in my liking for these rather gaudy 70’s prints that adorned out bedrooms as children and I always grab them when found on my thrifty travels but more often than not they end up in a pile on the shelf whilst I ponder how to use them.
Obviously with king size living they are usually single or double sized and don’t fit the beds, so that makes all but pillow cases redundant. I have made a few into pinny’s & several cushions but they just don’t seem to sit well in my mind out of the bedroom…
So I decided that if I couldn’t dress the beds with them then I could make myself some rather fetching night attire….I think it uses the sheets rather well don’t you…..
I too use the pillowcases and have used the sheets in the past for chickens but I am determined one day to make a lovely quilt from them all :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love your nightie. Is that your own design or a purchased pattern? I'm using a piece of a similar (blue) sheet for the back of a patchwork/cross stitch cushion at the moment.

Looks great, loving the colours in your bedroom.
ReplyDeleteoh my -are you taking orders? I would absolutely love one. Could send you contributory sheet bits. Our bed is all the old M+S pink duvet, blue sheet and yellow roses(of course)in all sorts of forms with an orange eiderdown. Fingers crossed you are.
ReplyDeleteOh wow you're trying to bring these back haha. I'm not really a fine of all these crazy colors, but it does give me a warm feeling inside seeing them. My grandmas room was decorated very much like these pictures
