Clothes made from vintage kids' sheets

One of my favorite shirts of all time is a Western shirt made partly from recycled Star Wars sheets, just like the ones I had as a boy. In that vein, I offer you BongaChopShop on Etsy, where you will find a wide variety of dresses, bags, etc, made from other brightly colored kids' sheets from the same era, such as the Star Wars Corset above, or the She-Ra dress to the right.

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

I’m beginning to wonder if there was an American male of our age who DIDN’T sleep on those sheets.

LOL. I wish I could sew a straight line. So many awesome things out there to make, so little talent…

While visiting my folks a few months ago I ‘found’ that exact sheet in their car (they were using it to protect the upholstery from the dog). I reclaimed it and now it is on my 7 year old’s bed – hooray.

I had those Star Wars pillow cases too! And very made, the artwork hardly faded over all those years. Think I used them off & on for well over 25 years.

Heh.. not what you want your lady-friend to see as you make your way to the bedroom.

I had the same artwork but it was a nice soft fuzzy blanket.

Wouldn’t these items be loaded with flame retardant chemicals?

A She-Ra dress with pockets. A dress that has pockets, a nice cut, and She-Ra, Princess Of Power on the front. I… I… don’t know quite what to say, only that If that dress matched my measurements, I would be €155 poorer right now. Holy hell. A She-Ra dress. With pockets.

I would wear it every goddamn day.
