The Easy T-Shirt Transformation.

Good Morning, Everyone!

I wanted to share with you all a project I sewed up last year.

The Easy T-Shirt Transformation.




A couple days before I sewed this little dress I was going through my clothes getting a big pile out to give to D.I.-- then I began to look at my clothes differently.  As I gathered them up, suddenly they transformed (in my mind) from clothes to give away into--- Clothes I could resew into dresses for baby.  I got really excited at that possibility.

Here's what I did.



 The trickiest part of this little project was getting the neck (that was designed to fit an adult woman) to fit baby.  I cut up the back, sewed the collar together and folded the dress up in a pleat to compensate for the extra material. The below picture kind of shows that. 

My last move was to hem the bottom.  Then I was done.




Then take baby and brothers out on the town (after letting brother try the bow on).
