I made these pillow shams today using this tutorial. My tucks were 3 1/2 inches apart rather than 5 1/2 as was done in the tutorial. These take an hour each after you have marked where you want your tucks to go which is based on some math and deep thinking.

Ahti the Whale

I still need to sew his bottom together.  I might put a button eye on him.  Not sure though.  Drew up the pattern myself.  This is actually my first plush I ever made. [:

Might use this pattern to make up a couple of whales for my friend's kids.  Need to find some good fabric for them though.

repurposing bedsheets?

[ms-violet.livejournal.com]

Hi, all;

I accidentally spilled bleach on my favorite red 300-count bedsheets. My husband and I have had them for years, and they've been washed so much that they're super-soft. Now there's a big white blob the size of a grapefruit on both the flat and fitted sheet.

Needless to say, I feel very stupid. The man said to throw them away. I said no, I will use them as fabric for a project. I ran the stain under cold water immediately, then washed them and hung them on the line to dry. The stain didn't spread on either sheet, but it's still ugly: yellow at the edges, gray at the center.

Suggestions? Has anyone made clothing from old bedsheets? How did that work out for you?

Thanks in advance!
