Jammies From Vintage Sheets

These jammies make me so happy. I'm calling them my "Mod Earth-Muffin Jammies". I made them from some sheets I got at an estate sale a few weeks ago. The cotton is smooth and cool, and they're big enough to handle the schlep-iest of Saturdays. They came together without a hitch, even though I had to make two button holes. Button holes always make me clench my teeth and sweat.

I used this book, which I highly recommend. This is the second project I've made out of this book, and the directions are great. There are a wide variety of projects in here too.

I'm working up my nerve to sew the party dress in this book (out of black cotton satin) for an upcoming wedding. I'm pretty sure that the pattern and directions will be clear, judging by the other projects I've made. I've never made a "nice" dress, so I'm just going to have to get my scissors out and go for it.
