Like my Duds? . . . Day Five

Is it safe? Can I look yet? All these duds are creeping me out, man. I'm all jumpy.

But I am glad that there are a few of you our there reading this. Laughing at how ridiculous I look. So, here's the grand finale for this week. . . the pillowcase shirt. I started sewing this not knowing whether I'd just use it as a bedtime chemise-style shirt, or as an actual "I'll allow you to see me in this" shirt. I had the sweet chemise from Simple Sewing with a French Twist in mind when I started hacking away at this poor, innocent pillowcase.

But snip after snip and alteration after alteration, it still looked like. . . a pillowcase. . . being worn as a shirt. In hindsight, I probably should've done away with the block of yellow on the bottom. That just screams "bed-related linen." When I was uploading these photos my husband glanced over at the computer and said, "What are you wearing? It looks like a pillowcase." Great problem solving skills, dear. Now go back to whatever you were doing and stop looking over my shoulder. Actually, I probably said something mature like, "Yeah, it is a pillowcase. So what."

Still, I may boldly go where no sewer has gone before and attempt this again--knowing how much of a glutton for punishment I am, I'll probably end up using another pillowcase. Maybe one without such prominent trim. Yeah, I'm sure it'll be brilliant.
