one Old Shirt becomes one Toddler Sun Dress

Ready for a cute and easy makeover?

 

I got a bunch of clothes from my friend (thanks Brigitte!)

In the pile was this:

It looks like it was made for a little girl, right?

Wrong!  It totally fit me.

Only... I'm not 10, so I couldn't pull it off.

I made it into a cute little sun dress for my friend's daughter, Cami.

Do you have an old shirt like this?

Want to make your own?

Here's How:

Start by measuring the bust of the girl you want to make it for.

I ended up taking mine in about 1" on each side.

Sew a straight line through the elastic portion.

Then cut away the excess.

Take the 'L' shape and fold it over.

Sew it in place (this will make a little pleat).

Now work on your straps (you'll have to measure on your little girl again).

I ended up just unstitching one side,

And then crossing them in the back.

And that's it!

I had Cannon's favorite little gal Melayna model it for me...

Pretty adorable, hu?

The dress isn't that bad either...
