OK, so no pictures just yet, but my evenings this week have been spent at my machine.
I made a couple of cushion covers for my mum using a couple of long linen dresses (they actually belonged to my mum and she wanted a gift made out of them). Just need to find some buttons or domes to do them up.
I've made my rice bags and just need to get the rice to fill them - made from the linen napkins I got from the op-shop.
Nathan now has a pair of pirate pants which is to be a part of his Christmas gift - they were refashioned from an old skirt of mine. I was able to use all the darts, side seams and waistband - so was only about 5mins of sewing! Just need to figure out how to make the shirt now.

Clever you! Would love to see pics.
have you ever checked out Craftster.org? They have whole sections about reconditioning clothing. I think I've seen pirate type shirts on there.
Wendy, that site is so cool! I've already got some good ideas just from a quick browse just now.
