There are absolutely lovely. The piping and the bias tape really make them special. I recently did a post about my vintage sheet obsession, but I haven’t made anything this cute yet! lol (http://anothersewingscientist.blogspot.com/2011/06/boring-top.html)

Whenever I go out thrifting all I find is yellowed, gross sheets. Nothing like these beautiful fabrics!
These dresses are beautiful!
