If you read my last post, Cleaning the Closet, you would know, I was attempting to make a dress from one of my old sweaters.
After tons of redo's, I completed it.
What a beauty. I had to bribe my daughter to take a picture in it.
I love the way it turned out. Now I am thinking I can make more clothing.
For the dress, I had to cut the sweater completely apart, and hand sew the dress back together.
I cut the sleeves completely off.
This is when I became worried.
I then cut the end part of the sleeve, and stitched it back onto the dress.
It took a lot of time, but I feel accomplished.
The best part of this accomplishment, is my daughter hates it. Notice the tantrum on the floor.
Its to itchy mom.
The zipper it touching me.
I cant get it off.
Its to long.
Hmmmm, do I force her to wear it to church?
Maybe some bubble gum will solve the problem.

it turned out perfect, looks so sweet on her! thanks for sharing this at my party.=)
ReplyDeleteVery cute...Just layer it with a t-shirt and tell her "If nobody comments at church you won't have to wear it again". And with a dress that cute she's bound to get attention!!! (It worked like a charm for me with an adorable but itchy little wool coat I bought at a garage sale for my 3 year old...she got so many "oohs and ahhs", I wasn't sure if she would ever take it off :) Take care, Laurel
ReplyDeleteThat is just to cute!! you did a fabulous job. I sew a lot and this is something I never tried.
