I love websites like
Etsy,
Make It and Love It, and
my cousin's blog, where they give ideas to repurpose old clothes into new ones.
I probably will copy their ideas eventually, and might have already with this one
unknowingly, but I came up with this idea all by myself. I'm so big!
Please excuse the crudity of this project. My sewing skills are pretty elementary. I gotta start somewhere!

I started out with this shirt with really long, obnoxious sleeves. So I cut them off!

They have this fun striped pattern on them, and I thought of making a baby girl skirt.

I cut a strip out of the sleeve to make the belt loops. I have only one button at the top to allow the baby to still move around her little legs and show off the striped pattern on the inside.

A ribbon or an actual belt completes this skirt. Not bad, eh? (Note: there is a reason I haven't shown the back. But the front looks pretty cute!!) Like I said, I've got to start somewhere!
How did I not know you have a blog? It is so cool! And great job on the skirt. Have I mentioned I miss being your roommate? Good times.
ReplyDeleteThat looks awesome Lacey!
ReplyDeleteAt least you can sew! I can't even do that much. It's cute!
