I'm still trying to get through a box of old clothes. The goal is to use as much as I can to make clothes for my kiddos. We all know how pricey new pretty dresses for little girls cost. Free is definitely cheaper, AND at the same time recycles a shirt that I would otherwise be giving away or throwing away.
This one would have been thrown away, because there were some holes in the chest area from wearing it while pregnant...and "busting" out of it. hee hee.
This is what I started out with.
I'm horrible about making my first cut, then remembering to take a picture.
A 3/4 sleeve tunic dress shirt.
This one was pretty complex. I pretty much took everything apart and pieced it back together.
But amazingly enough, I was able to make an entire dress for Bella out of the pieces, and I was able to finish it in only a couple of hours.
Here is the result:
Disregard the blue and white striped daisy tights that don't match at ALL...
It's definitely not perfect, but I think it turned out really cute - and most importantly, Bella loves it :)
I love making old things into something new.
Hmm...that's a lesson of being created in God's image...
