More Sewing...

Last week, I found some striped long sleeved women's shirts on sale at Wal-Mart for $1 each. I didn't care much for them for myself but imagined all sorts of possibilities on how to re-purpose them for my girls so I got 3 of them. I found this tutorial and thought I could totally do this with my new shirts! This is such a simple tutorial! Try it!!
This one was a woman's size small shirt so it ended up being too short to make a dress for Riya. It is a shirt instead. It looks super cute on her! I skipped the belt though because the shirt wasn't as loose as the one in the tutorial. I'm planning to take the other 2 shirts (size large and x-large) and make them into dresses for the girls using this same method. To make them more dressy, I think I will make the straps out of gathered ribbon. And, yes - they will be wearing shirts under them! :)
If you do it - send me a pic! I want to see it!! You can do it in about 30 minutes. It is THAT easy!
