This time the victim, err, scraficial shirt was a green and white stripe Eddie Bauer *wrinkle free* number. This one was fraying on the wrist and had a small stain on the front. That didn't stop me from trying a dress for Lyla. I've seen a lot of patterns using the buttons (Made and Luv in the Mommyhood are two I like) and I thought that was a great idea to maximize the reuse of this shirt.
I used a pattern from the same book I used for her upcycled pants; this time picking a PJ dress. Turns out that I am not that sold on this pattern. I want to add a belt to make it a little less boxy but it would be fine for PJs - I just don't know if those buttons would bother my tummy sleeper.
PS yes, that is a bathtub faucet the shirt is hanging from in the top photo. We don't know why but it was here when I bought the house. Even after deconstructing the original deck and rebuilding the landing and stairs we retained the faucet. Just a little quirky to add to our yard!
I like the neckline. Just shorten the dress a little and it would make a great smock-type swing blouse.
ReplyDeleteMom says button it down the back for your tummy sleeper.
