One of the beauties of cleaning out closets and dresser drawers is the opportunity to get rid of the clothes you wore to your first job in the awkward early days of business casual. It is also -- and let's be completely honest here -- a great opportunity to persuade your husband/partner/adorable love of your life to get rid of those shirts you cannot possibly look at one more day of your blessed life together. Now, as if this wasn't fabulous enough, add in the beauty of re-purposing those old Hawaiian and print button-up shirts into something sweet for your baby girl. Ta-da! Like a crafty miracle, you can make dad's old shirts into daughter's new dress.
The tutorial on Craftster is posted by Chey and it seems pretty straight-forward, even to a clumsy sewer like me. I love that you'll only need a sewing machine and scissors ant that Chey's included plenty of pictures so you can see what all your cutting and reconstructing will get you and your dress-happy daughter. Now if we can only find a recon project for all those pitted out fraternity t-shirts, I will be an even happier organizing and crafting mama.
