Sewing: Refashioned Nautical Shirt

My husband's shirt before...



and after....



Can't wait to see the look on his face when he gets home and see's his daughter with her "new" shirt.




I wonder if he'll notice something familiar?




Here she is giving her new shirt a hug.



We are ready for summer!

Note: I used the 90 Minute Shirt Tutorial from Made for inspiration for this shirt.

Sewing: Refashioned dress

Yesterday I finally got out my old skirt that use to fit me 10 years ago. Can't believe I carried that thing around so long. But it was still in very good shape and still very clean and I knew I wanted to make a dress for Juliana out of this last year.



I really did not have to mess with the length at all. Just needed to be tucked in on the sides and it fit perfectly.



It really only took me less than an hour to do. I have three other skirts ready for a transformation as well.

Refashioned shirt

I went to the thrift store awhile back and found this shirt.



It is a white shirt with very pretty white/blue daisy detail along the edges. It had no stains and I thought this would be a very pretty and simple dress to make for my daughter. I didn't really need to add much. I just cut the sides to fit my daughter and added elastic on the sleeves.



Also added elastic with casing around the waist.



Here is the finished dress.

Refashioned Stripped shirt

Here is another refashion shirt that I created from my husbands stash that was going to the thrift store.



It was a simple dress to make. Here is what I did.



I guess you can call this the reversible refashion shirt. You can wear it with the buttons in the front...



or you can go for the chic look and wear it with the buttons on the back along with tieing the bow in the back as well...



Either way, I think it works.

I guess my daughter had enough of the camera for the day.

Refashioned Shirt

A few months ago we did our spring cleaning and my husband had a bunch of shirts that he was going to throughout. Well, I got a hold of them and thought that maybe I can do something with this but didn't know what.

Then I saw these two tutorials on remaking clothes from men's shirts. This dress was way cute. Then I saw these pants and thought this was also way cute and creative way to use the sleeves. So I used both methods and created this ensemble using this shirt.







My husband was way impressed and happy to contribute to his daughter's wardrobe.
