I’m going downstairs to make about 6 of these for Abby right now!! What a great thing to do with t-shirts that have gotten too short!

I have to tell you Carrie- I was working on dress #3 for Abby, and Beanie came in my sewing room and was watching me curiously. He then decided they were so pretty, he wanted one.

I sent him upstairs to chose a t-shirt, and let him pick the fabric for the skirt. He wanted blue, so that it would be boy-ish. I know… I know…

He is now the proud owner of boy-ish blue t-shirt dress!

Seriously. Easiest thing I’ve ever made- thank for the link and idea!

I know, aren’t they so fun and easy? Especially good for using up stash fabric and old t-shirts.

I love you so much for making one for your son per his request. So awesome.

Good thing it’s blue, or else his dad might freak out a little bit :).

I made two of these in about an hour. That isn’t counting the time I spent washing fabric, picking out fabric, buying matching t-shirts, etc. Of course I didn’t use stash fabric. I might need that for something! T’s were on sale at the craft store this week so I am going to make 4 more. 🙂
I posted a picture on my blog.

These are so cute!! I had picked up some Princess fabric in the remnant bin tonight, and was searching for something FUN to do with it– this was perfect!!! Used a t-shirt I had in the give-away bag cuz it was too small 🙂
THANKS!!!

Thank you for inspiring us! We are doing a project runway day with a few lucky silent auction winners (middle school girls)… At the end of the day, we will have the girls make dresses to be sent to a sister school. I can’t wait!

Associated with rockers and rebels, acid washed jeans became really popular.

Maybe you have run into the same problems of trying to find that special man in your life the right jeans that
will not only fit him around the waist, but also will be the right length.

However I am going through issues with your RSS.
I don’t know the reason why I am unable to subscribe to it.
Is there anyone else having the same RSS issues? Anyone that knows the answer can you kindly respond?
Thanks!!
