Think Outside the Box- Girls’ Dress Tutorial
April 5, 2010 8:54 amI hope everyone had a lovely Easter! We really enjoyed our weekend of celebrating!
Wanna make a dress that will make your daughter THIS happy? Ok, I can’t promise that. But here’s a super easy refashion for an adorable kid’s dress.
My sister gave me this cute old t-shirt of hers.
I cut the straps at the seam.
This is a great way to use a stained shirt. I got this t that I had that had some weird stains on the front.
Put it inside the dress/shirt.
Then I turned it over and layed the straps where I wanted them. Pin them and sew the straps to the T, all the way around.
I took these blah buttons off…
…and added some more colorful ones.
And I’m done!
It’s been the perfect play dress.

Argh… I think of all the t-shirts I have tossed in the trash in the past. Wish I had them back for these great refashions of yours!

This is exactly the kind of thing I keep thinking I’ll make for Emm, and then I never get around to it… That’s all going to change now, Emm started playschool! it’s only 3 hours, on a friday, but still, it’s time to myself, something I haven’t had for the last 21 months!
