Craft: Tablecloth Dress
For those who sew, it's no secret that fabric prices have gotten ridiculously high. This dress was made with a tablecloth. New or gently used tablecloths and sheets can be found at thrift stores for next to nothing and provide tons of yardage.

Here's a step-by-step video I found online for making a drawstring halter top. You could use the same instructions but make it longer for a dress. http://www.craftstylish.com/item/50 ... ke-a-drawstring-halter-top-or-dress. Looks very quick and simple.

Great job, April!! This reminds me of a dress that I had in the 60's. OOPS!! That gives you an idea of how OLD I am. ;o) Anyway, you really used your creative powers to make a very striking dress!! Great job!!

It is also great to see someone so close to Jesup putting a post on Thrifty Fun!! Keep up the good work.

I had a beautiful lace tablecloth previously belonging to my mother-in-law that had a lot of tears and holes in it. I had been looking for lace fabric for a valance, but couldn't find what I wanted. My husband suggested that I use the tablecloth. Luckily I was able to find some areas that were not ruined and made a beautiful valance for our window.

I would also love to have instructions. I have so many pretty tablecloths that I never use. Can you please post at least the basics? Thank you!

Darling dress. You could even shorten it to make a cute top! Great idea.
