Vacation Sewing Part 2

Earlier in the week I went to Value Village and bought several Men's XL button down shirts to make dresses for the girls. Dana of MADE had posted a tutorial (almost 2 yrs ago now!) on how to turn an old Men's shirt into a dress. Owen did not have any old shirts that could be re-purposed (we actually cleaned out his closet in the spring and I completely forgot about this tutorial!) so that left VV.

I managed to find 4 or 5 shirts I liked the pattern/colour of for 4.99 a piece. So far I've sewn up 3 for the girls for our vacation;




I made Kate's a bit bigger so that it would still fit in the fall. I think it will look really cute as a tunic with leggings or skinny jeans. :0)
