I went through my closet yesterday hunting for t-shirts that I could re-fashion into dresses for Lucy. This turned out so cute, and now pretty much every shirt in my closet is at risk for being cut up and turned into a dress. How can I resist? Lucy looks much better in this than I ever did.
What I did was take in the sleeves and sides of the shirt to fit Lucy (using a shirt of hers as a pattern). Then I threaded an elastic cord through the neck band so that the neck would fit hers. Last, for the flower, I cut some strips from a navy blue shirt of mine, and some leaf shapes out of a black and white shirt of mine. I made this while Lucy was out on a 5.5 mile bike ride with her daddy (he ran, she rode). All together, it probably took me 20 minutes. And I'm in love with the result.
