long sleeve shirt refashion

Ok, So I am not sure if anyone missed me but I didn't get to post anything Sunday... I guess I needed a day off  :) I certainly missed all of you!!

I have some new stuff to show off today, and I have two testers stuff really to be mailed out, tomorrow or Monday.

Here is something I started working on;
 I started to think about how kids clothes are only really good for one season, because they usually outgrow them before that season rolls around again. Or if you are like me you get hand-me-downs and they may not be the right size for the correct season.......... #kidsclothesproblems

So what do you do if you have a TON of clothes in the right size, but it is the WRONG season?
Here is one solution.............

 I have these short sleeve shirts, and as much as I would LOVE for it to be short sleeve shirt weather here in Vermont, it just isn't. (not even inside my house)

 And I have a bunch of leggings that well let's face it my littlest lady is not squeezing into these, 
TOO TIGHT!
I am big on comfort, who wants to be sandwiched into clothes, not me!


SO I made some new long sleeve tops for little miss Sophia!









 SO comfy and cute!!
I love it and she seems to love it too!


I also had a white three quarter sleeve top that I never wore.
I forgot to take a photo of it before I chopped it up. But here it is refashioned and in action.

perfect for bike riding

Also works for floor rolling




I Love the draw string waist, this could fit a older little lady.
clothes that grow with you... LOVE IT!!

little miss Sophia doing what she does best, acting silly <3


Remember I can do this for your Little Lady (or Gentleman)

Sweaters!

ok everyone, I took a break from T-shirts (well not really, I just didn't take any photos of my projects this week, hahaha) and I used my creative energy towards re-fashioning some men's 80's style sweaters.

I had two XL mens cable knits, so stylish...right??
I love cable knit but, well...these are pretty dated.


so I turned them into these..

much better!
the white one is a size 6 and the blue one is a little smaller a size 4

I also had a green men's size Large V neck sweater which I turned into this


this is a HUGE hit with Sophia so I think this one will be staying :)
She is still wearing the Blue Ruffle Skirt

I also had this turtle neck winner
real high fashion...right?
but this is really soft beautiful fabric,
 it is a shame it is so ugly. 
This screams RE-FASHION ME!!


and as I was looking for inspiration...I came across this


this sweater I LOVE, but there is a black stain on the sleeve, and it is a little small for Sophia.
She still wears it but every time I put it on her,
 I wish both things weren't true.
SO on Thursday morning (yes this morning) we are up at 6:00am, I get all my stuff together and make this

BAM!!!!


Here they are side by side...not bad for an early morning project!
All I need is a big button for it!


I defiantly see some more sweaters in this pattern coming soon
LOVE IT
