i love how this dress turned out! it started out as a junior's x-small hoodie, and the bottom part was a shirt of my husbands back when he was a junior leader at a scout camp in high school :) it was SO simple too! i just cut off the hoodie right above the pocket, measured how far down i wanted the skirt to go, and then cut that much off of the bottom of my hubbie's shirt! since i used the bottom of the shirt i didn't have to hem it, either. his shirt was much wider so i gathered it first and then pinned and sewed! took a total of *maybe* a half hour? a fitting second chance for this "green" shirt!
(uh, yeeaaah. my son started walking through the pic with his popsicle. i took some others but as chance would have it, the dress turned out the best in THIS one. *sigh* just wanted to show off the length here, it goes to right above the knee.)
thanks for looking!
Okay super cute using Nathan's old shirt, and I love that Sam is *sharing* his Popsicle. LOL
