Sustainable Creations... Upcycling Style!

My newest creations... I have always adored the pillowcase creation so decided to create a few of my own!  I started with this first one, which is a combination of New and Old... which I have recently discovered is referred to as 'Upcycling'.  I don't know why it took so long for me to come across this but what an amazing concept!  For those of you not familiar with this term, it is a very eco friendly movement to reduce the amount of waste in the world, transforming old, less desirable items, into new and fabulous ones!  I LOVE this concept and fits perfectly into what I have been doing!  I like to call it sustainable sewing!  I made this super cute Winnie the Pooh pillowcase dress then paired it with a pair of upcycled Old Navy Pants!  Super cute set.  Then I decided to make a few of my very own creations, starting from scratch.  Below you will see 3 very cute Pillowcase dresses, Princess theme, Bratz Girl theme, and last but not least, the Tweetie Bird with beautiful satin trim detailing!  Did I mention I love to sew?
