I'd use mine as sheets. But then my dog could never go on my bed again. I learned that the hard way. Vintage cloth + dog = horror beyond imagining

Unfortunately I do not have pics. I know someone who made a dress with some sheets and she had a pillowcase leftover that she gave to me. Wish I had the dress too.

You could make wall hangers, or a mini quilt to be hung on a wall. Or if you wanted pillows, you could reinforce the fabric first with iron-on interfacing. That way it'd last longer :)

Me too!!!

I'd feel too bad if I cut into them. I like the quilt idea.

Oooh! Juri has her's hanging behind her pony shelves and it looks like wall paper. I thought it was a clever way to display them.

I like the idea of a wall display :) You could even frame the repeat pattern for a lovely original artwork picture.

I have seen people turn the sheets into everything from bags to dresses to pillows but I understand not being able to cut up a vintage sheet like that, its something I dont think I could bring myself to do either although I see no harm in it if thats what you decide. Either way it will be something pretty special.
Thank you Matcha for my gorgeous Baby Fifi avi :hug:
Loa is my love god!
I love Loa more than PonyLady!

I have one that I dream of making a dress of... but I'm not good enough at sewing to do it. I don't know when I'll be brave enough to make that first cut, but it won't be till I've successfully made three or four dresses in throwaway fabric!

Keep 'em as sheets and put them away. If people keep cutting them up, the'll be no more MLP sheets.

Kitchen Aprons?  But only after you spray them thoroughly with Teflon spray.

I personally wouldn't cut them up (unless they already are torn to shreds) since they are becoming harder to come by. I really like the idea of using them as drapery/background for your collection, it would look super cute. :D
