With my machine in working order, I had a productive afternoon! (can you tell I was itching to sew?) Here’s what I came up with, a variation on the shirt dress. Refashioned from a man’s dress shirt, it’s the plaidtastic shirt/skirt combo. I started with this:
and turned it into this:
and this:
The idea for the top came from this lovely french blog (oh, don’t worry….there’s an “amazing french blogs I love” post in the works. I’m smiling over the stuff they make).
And since Goose was acting silly, I just kept snapping photos. She’s definitely building a repertoire of poses.Sadly, this is the last time she’ll wear the plaid. This little outfit will be auctioned in our Church auction this Friday, to raise funds for our youth-age girls and their summer Girl’s Camp. Hooray for fundraisers! And….let the bidding begin! (on Friday, that is….at an undisclosed location…..at 7pm. Yea. We probably won’t see you there)
I love the shirt and skirt refashion, how did you do it? Do you have a tutorial fir that one?
Great idea…..the dress is looking great on her….. Definitely I am going to try this one for my little one….Thanks a lot for the idea….:-)
