Tata's "skirt"




Here's a skirt I made from an old dress shirt of my dad's that had a stain on it. I chopped off the bottom, hemmed the waist with some elastic inside and then just sewed a ribbon to the bottom. SOOO easy!!! Inspired by Oliver + S tutorial

Easter Dresses

I made these dresses from McCall's 5966. Jo's turned out great size wise. Lydia's got about 3 more years of wear in hers :-)

18 inch doll clothes from old stuff!


My niece is really into her American Girl Doll and so I made this little outfit for her birthday. The shirt/dress was made from the top of an old t-shirt. I just snipped a little hole in the neck and fed some elastic through to gather it to doll sized. The skirt was made from the bottom of a jeans pant leg. The ladybug leggings were from one of my favorite pair of socks that were just a little too holey!! And the slipper boots where made from another worn out pair of socks.
