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!

Very cute! I love those brilliant ideas that come to me out of nowhere.
This is fabulous! So precious, too! It's great that Emory gets to continue enjoying and wearing this dress due to your creativity!
