Your love is my drug AND pillowcase dresses

*(Ignore the scary eyes in the second picture)

The most tiring week/weekend ever has passed.
Too bad that there is no rest from this madness until June!
For my English class, we're doing a Transcendentalism project, and for a part of mine, I'm going to make clothes out of old materials, such as a pillowcase, t-shirt, feedsack, etc. (I would explain how dressmaking relates to Thoreau, but that is another story for another time.) As you can see, I made a pillowcase dress. Originally I tried looking up dress patterns for pillowcases but they were all a little childish. I didn't like the sleeves on any of the dresses I found. So, inspired by the Sassy version, I've made the sleeves flutter-like, which I think looks more whimsical.
No SEW!
Just cutting and acessorizing.
Oh! And next time I'll post the bikini I made from an old tshirt.
