Floral recycled sheet dress

I have had this sheet I picked up at a thrift shop sitting around for a few months now, and I was glad to finally use it. To  make the dress, I used Simplicity 4070. I made it pretty much as is, with the addition of straps.

Blue top with dots and lace

I made this top based on Colette Patterns’ Sorbetto top pattern. I used a Swiss dotted shirting and a lace collar. I modified it to have an open back and a collar shaped to match the lace.

I wore it to see Radiohead live this week. The show was great. I’m not convinced that arenas are the best way to see live music, though. Either way, Radiohead was good as was their opener, Caribou.
