Shower Curtain to Smock Dress || goodwill haul pt. 4

“wow, sewing is so cool but that sounds like an expensive hobby!” Alright, well it’s definitely not an inexpensive hobby, but it’s definitely one that you can get your money’s worth for! I definitely get that comment a lot from other folks, especially when they find out I’m still a student!

dungarees or overalls?! || goodwill haul pt. 3

we back with another goodwill haul update!

To catch ya up to speed, a few weeks ago, I picked up a few linens from my local Goodwill. Link to my original haul post is here. Today, I’m sharing what I made from this heavy weight navy blue curtain. This fabric felt a little too thick for a dress, but lacked the stretch that I would want in jeans/pants. Consequently, I was looking for skirts/shorts/jumpers that would transition well from winter to spring.

Anyway, suspense over because my title gives away the surprise – the Cleo Pinafore + Dungaree Dress from Tilly and the Buttons, link to the pattern here! I chose the dungaree (aka overalls here in the US) style as I’d never worked with those buckles before and clearly I’m all about ~doing~ all the things.
