The other day Little Blue wore these overalls. I didn't like them because the button closure on the crotch made nappy changing a bugger.
I was going to put them in the charity bin when I thought about a couple of clever and crafty ladies known to refashion clothes...
I decided to cut off the bottom crotch part of the overalls and sew on a ruffle all the way around.
I am pretty happy with the new bib and brace style dress that I have created!
I think it might be a little bit mermaid like, but paired with her favourite shoes the girl says it's ok.

Oh I have a couple of pairs of overalls for Le Punk in the "stuff I really should get around to doing something with one of these days" pile - I had this very idea, but I KNOW mine won't look as spiffy - the overalls aren't yellow for a start...! SO CUTE... (and so is the dress... lol)

ReplyDeleteand who on earth put buttons on the originals....someone who's child didn't wiggle!
Soooooo cute! Wonderful job! X
ReplyDeleteToo Clever Becky! They look great :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I don't think it looks mermaid like at all.
ReplyDeleteI often think about prolonging the life of a favourite t-shirt but always balk at the idea of cutting it up. Perhaps I should try with a not-so-favourite one and then maybe once I make the first cut, I will be braver the next time.
Great idea Becky - I am sure your little one will get heaps of use out of her new dress.
ReplyDeleteAlright, that is about the sweetest refashion I have seen in a long time.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat fabric combination. So gorgeous. Blue and yellow look so fresh together. You are a very talented Mama.
