Reblogged: Jeans into Kid's jeans

Very cute and comfy kid's jeans made from mommy's old ones. A nice description in Swedish, but anyone can understand a lot from the pictures. Can be applied to about any pants, by the way. Tweed, Corduroy...go for it! From Ericas tygverkstad

Shirt into Toddler Dress and Pants

Look what I made the other day! A dress with matching pants from my boyfriend's worn out shirt. It's protecting my very blond daughter's skin from the sun, still cool when it's warm, plus quite good looking if I may say so myself. A bit tunisian, or japanese? Yesterday was a hot day here in Stockholm and this outfit came very handy. 

It took me about two hours but I was very quick and sloppy. Didn't even use pins, actually. (Recommended though.) Most functional details from the shirt are re-used, like the buttoning and the cuffs, which makes it really quick to make but still gives it some functional details. I kind of love the leg-cuffs. Difficulty 4 / 10 if you're as sloppy as me. Cost 0.

Tutorial coming up soon.

Halterneck top into Baby shorts

 Top: H&M, 2007. Never liked it. I cut the top part away and made a tunnel for the elastic. Made the legs by making a U-shaped seam and cutting away the material in between. The hem at the waist is now the cuffs. 

Difficulty: 3/10. Result: 8/10. Cost 0.

Pillowcase into Baby pants

 

Made a jersey pillowcase smaller and made baby pants of the leftovers.

Difficulty 3/10, very simple self made pattern. Cost 0.  Baby is posing with the rest of the jersey sheets.
