Re-purposing

Okay, I have read a couple of different things about re-purposing clothes- the project that inspired me was THIS. I love this little dress but I didn't have any shirts hanging around that would work for that one (I will be looking though- so if you have any laying around pass them on).

I was going through my closet and decided I had a shirt worth sacrificing. I do still like the shirt, but I could see how much cuter it could be as a toddler dress!

Here is the original shirt:



Here is the new dress:
It isn't hemmed yet, and the straps are just pinned in until I can make sure it fits (she is napping). I think it came out really well and it only took about 20 minutes.

The back:


And here it is on a baby model! It isn't perfect, but I will fix it up a little when it is closer to warm weather. I figure there is no point in adjusting the straps or hem too much until I know how big she will be when she can wear it. It is much cuter in person than the picture shows.
