It's your sewing and your experiment so try it out and see if you like the result. I'm not fond of how interfacing behaves in some items and for pockets. I think I may double up fabrics instead, at least to see how that works. Most of my #WearableToiles are pyjamas now so there's no real wrong way to make them.

Most of my wardrobe is now #WearableToiles, made with thrifted fabrics and used bedsheets. Gradually, the majority of them really are wearable after some early experiments that are not.

Oh, I've been repeatedly learning the advantages of making #WearableToiles. It helps a lot to get thrifted fabric as well.

Super cute! #WearableToiles are the bomb. Just finishing up a nightie version of the #AshtonTop to see if it will work as a longer, pocketed top or dress. The nightie is made from a cute used flannelette sheet and will get lots of use.

I'm love-love-loving the process of #LearningToSew. In my opinion, it's well worth taking that class and accepting that you may not love the finished product because you'll learn so much about the #Process. One big thing that I'm learning is to make #WearableToiles so that I'm less invested in the finished product, first time that I try something new. I've learned a LOT that way and I'm really happy with what I'm starting to make. I learned a lot at a knits class.

I'm not sure where you're located but here in #YEG, we're very fortunate to have an actual fabric recycler that sells used sheets, cotton shirts, jeans, and t-shirts in 2-cubic-foot boxes for only $20CAN. I bought a box of sheets early in the year, donated 2/3s back to them, and it will still take me a while to use up the ones that I kind of liked. I am also using some bought fabric but I've learned to make #WearableToiles with a new pattern, before using my good fabric.
