Making a Pinterest inspired matching set (sewing tutorial)

I've been obsessed with the boxer shorts trend recently & have been seeing so many cute matching sets all over my Pinterest... so I thought it was time to recreate the look!
Comfy, lightweight & easy to whip up in a day. I worked with secondhand cotton and lace & drafted my own pattern using old shorts & an oversized bodice block.
Let me know if you make your own set! Wishing you lots of luck!

I bought a set of king size sheets in the PERFECT red cotton for $8 US! I passed up a set of corgi sheets and have regretted it ever since. 😂

The best thrifted fabric I ever bought was a table cloth I found at a flea market, it's white and it has golden suns, moons and stars. It's so whimsical and I turned it into a gathered skirt😙

I love that you just randomly came up with the design for the top and it turned into the most scrumptious ruffly goodness! I'm on my way to make one right now!!

New follower as I’m a huuuge fan of sewing and have not found many fellow sewists who’s content I enjoy, I am here to say I love your videos (that I have already watched) and I’m about to go watch the rest. This top is SO cute and has inspired me to make something like it in dress form for my daughter ❤

I found a bunch of blue striped suiting the last time I went thrifting with my grandma before she got sick. I'm saving it for a special project.❤

Wide is horizontal. Long is vertical. That makes it easier to remember.

With a few more tiers the top could be a dress. I love the sleeves. Really cute outfit. I love it!

I think my best thrifted fabric was a green heavy linen duvet cover. It is so pretty and a rich green. It retails for $109- $129 and I got it for $15/$16 usd!!!! And it was new! 💕 The problem is I love linens, so I never know if I want to make something out of them or keep them as is. Sometimes I want doubles or triples of each one and that’s not always possible. Lol

Good tip on the waistband!

@jordanalice___ 9 ай бұрын

I got a $3 table cloth with the most lovely green and pink gingham and turned it into a little skirt and top set. So in love. I think I need to add interfacing to the skirt waistband to make it sit nicely but I've never done that before so eeep. This video was so cute, absolutely adore the results 😍 😊

ok that sounds unbelievably cute. hope the waistband goes well - you can do it!

So many sweet op shop finds. Best one for price - over 40 mts pink and white stripe soft furnishing fabric for $20. One I love the most - a hand painted water colour of a tree near shallow water in grass at sunset.

40 METERS!!!!!! That's amazing!!!! And also that hand painted water colour sounds like a treasure

Love this video! Thank you for sharing your process! That is the CUTEST top you made! 😍 And thank you for sharing the thick hemline trick! So helpful 🥳 My best thrift store find was many yards of beautiful navy linen fabric! Such a great find! I made a Milky Way galaxy dress with it 😁

@fromcarlyb 9 ай бұрын

Thank you so much!!! The hemline thing is game changing fr! And that sounds like such a win - love that for you!!

I've been seeing this trend EVERYWHERE as well! I really want to make a part of bloomers and you've inspired me!

bloomers sound SO CUTE!!!!!!

@cerwelt 3 ай бұрын

So cute and well executed. Something I would have loved to have worn at your age. Being a chunky grandma, it’s out of the question now. Both my first and last name mean cherry, my first is Cerise and it’s French. My last name is 🍒 Cherry. Finding a cute dress at a thrift store covered with cherries was a blast. It’s a bit snug, but I have so much cherry fabric I plan to split the side seams and add panels to make it fit. Can’t wait. 😅

You are just the sweetest! I love all your makes and your videos. You always inspire me to go get sewing! I recently went to a fabric store sidewalk sale and got tons of neat fabric, one of which is a large photo of a daisy field printed on fabric, new dress for me soon 🥰 or maybe a two piece like this!!

@melissadavey2131 9 ай бұрын

So cute!! With the mini ruffles, are they just overlocked finished or is there a little hem? I love finding pillow cases, as often they reflect the trend of a time, are cheap and have enough fabric for some projects!

@fromcarlyb 9 ай бұрын

I overlocked the edge & tucked it under once as a little hem! You could do a regular hem too, I was just being a bit lazy !!

Gorgeous outfit! 😍 Best find was a vintage duvet cover with different fabrics front and back. Made dresses for both of my daughters, one in each fabric! Deb xx

@huntoast6632 9 ай бұрын

This is so good! I actually haven’t had many good fabric finds at a opp shop. Probably my favourite is a light flowy king size bed set with colourful stripes. I hope to make a nice summer dress out of it 😍
