I love it when I get a fun, smart idea. I have been looking for cute dress patterns and ideas for the last several months to make Emory some fun things. My struggle is I don't tend to like "homey" homemade dresses and such, so I decided to take on the challenge of doing something I thought might be cute. I had seen a post where a really cool Mom took an old dressy tank of hers and turned it into a sweet dress for her daughter.....light bulb went off. I ran into my pile of cute dresses I had gathered to GIVE away to some of my favorite give away recepients (don't worry you two, I will still give you some cute things) and pulled out this dress. This was Emory's easter dress when she was 2. I loved the way she looked in it and was already having a hard time deciding if I wanted to give it away or not.....so I got a brilliant idea to fashion it into the set you see below. Whala......a new outfit she can still wear! Yay! I think it turned out great. The best part...I did not spend ANY money. I already had the t-shirt and the other materials needed for the transformation. The other best part? It took 30 minutes from start to finish! I wanted to share it in case someone else wanted to borrow the idea. Happy sewing!
