My fabulous aunt has lots of opportunities to travel and she always brings back souvenirs for everyone! We love it when she returns from one of her trips! Gifts all around! 😉 Well, she recently shared a little secret with me. Before visiting the fancy schmancy souvenir boutiques, she checks the local dollar stores first, especially for kids’ shirts. How clever is that?!
On our visit to Dauphin Island, one of the cute T’s I found at a nearby dollar store was too big for the intended recipient, Emery. No worries, though. This makeover literally takes minutes. Seriously! There’s one cut, one seam and then thread some ribbon or elastic. My Tutorial can be found by clicking right HERE.
You Need:
1 T-Shirt that’s too big
Matching Thread
Elastic or ribbon for the collar
Let’s talk measurements for just a sec. To transition from a T to a peasant top or dress, it needs to be a couple sizes too big, especially around the arm. Emery is about to turn two and is pretty true to size. 2Ts work great for her. I began with a Youth Small, then followed MY TUTORIAL. {Yes, I have to look at past projects to remember how to do them! ;-)} From collar to hem, the T measured 19 inches. From shoulder to knee, Emery measures 15 inches. That will work!
Her finished dress from collar to hem is 17 inches. Perfect! Whether she wants to wear it on the jungle gym or cover her favorite swimsuit, her little dollar store dress will take her thru the hot days of summer in adorable style!
