Instructions

  1. Small 2012 07 17 21.54.26

    Take your dress and lay it flat on your working place or bed in my case.

  2. Small 2012 07 17 21.54.57

    Cut the dress like shown in the photo.Dont cut your bedsheet along with it! ;)

  3. Small 2012 07 17 21.57.45

    Remove the inner lining from the dress.We wont be needing it.

  4. Small 2012 07 17 22.09.29

    Now you have two similar pieces of fabric.Right sides together and wrong side up place them on the bed and try to make them as flat as possible.

  5. Small 2012 07 17 22.14.38

    Taking a pillow as a template, draw a rectangle ( as big as you want )on the fabric with a marker.Cut it out with an extra 2 inches for seam allowance.With right sides still together, sew the rectangle with a straight stitch, leaving about a 5-7 inch hole on one side.

  6. Small 2012 07 17 22.56.01

    Turn it inside out from the hole and fill it with polystyrene balls(i used bean bag fillers) or fabric scrap and you have your own floor pillow or dog bed.

  7. Small 2012 07 17 21.56.20

    Remember the upper part which we cut off? Turn it inside out.

  8. Small 2012 07 17 23.39.39

    Im sorry if you cant see the stitch but sew the bottom and little triangles on both the sides and turn it inside out to get a super cute toilet paper holder.:D
