Reblogged: Shirt into toddler dress

More shirts into dresses! How many can you make? Well, as many as there are shirts, I guess. It's so addictive!

This very pretty one was made already a few years ago by Nikkishell, who had an awesome blog named Wardrobe re-fahion on the topic of upcycling. Resting now, but full of great and inspirational refashioned stuff.  Check it out!

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.

So. Nice! And such a great use of shirts. Almost all shirts would look great as a toddler dress. Not very complicated to make, either.

Next thing on my list to do. Right now. Today. I promise: pictures coming soon.

Pillowcases into baby shirts

This model is so simple to make. And fun. Just take something that fits your baby, put it on a pillowcase (at the edge - shoulders should be where the pillowcase is folded)  and draw a big T around it. Kind of. Make sure you make it big enough though, especially it the fabric is woven and not stitched. Sew the sides, make a hole for the head, trim the edges, button, done. OK, it's a little more complicated than that but not a lot. Cost close to 0, difficulty 5/10.

Just look what these clever people make out of old clothes. Nice cuts, lots of attention to detail. If you have a chance, go visit their store in London.
