white sheet challenge how to

I don't do a whole lot of sewing tutorials on here...
cause i don't know what i'm doing
and so i don't take pictures....
so this is really a lame-o tutorial...but i thought i would share what i did in case there was any questions:

all this was made using one white jersey sheet

the end.

just kidding.i bet you wish it was though.
the sheet had finished edges...so i tried to be smart and make sure that i utilized it as much as possible...
i used the big panel for my sleeves....

and here's how i do sleeves (shall i mention again my disdain for them?)i cut my front panel for the shirt and back panel(using a shirt as a guide...see how i'm using the hem for the bottom?)

..and sew just the shoulder part...then i lay it down on the sheet and cut the sleeve shape (the above above picture)then i sew them on like this:

put right sides together and sew from the bottom of the sleeve straight down to the bottom of the hem.

Now: I have no idea if this is the correct way to do it. the sleeves work fine so i don't really see a problem with it. it wasn't how i was taught...but this way makes me hate sleeves less....
and i cut the tights.....(this is how i roll...just using clothes as a basic pattern)

and dyed them...i mixed these too together to get a coral...

obvs didn't work...more of a salmon..i'm sure i could have kept it in longer to get a nice dark color..but dyeing is scary.especially when you have a deadline...Made does an awesome tutorial on dyeing....

and rit has an awesome sight that will tell you what to mix to get the color you want

the shirt embellishments:

I wasn't sure my daughter would love the beads on the shirt...so i sewed them onto a bow i cut out of the sheet and then sewed it on after i got her approval...
