I don’t know about others, but I love to recycle clothes and I love to sew for my children and when I can combine those two I have a lot of fun! During this time in my little one’s life we get and use lots of hand-me-downs and there are always tons of tee shirts. Here’s a simple way to use up some of the extras: Tee Shirt Dresses!
The purple dress was actually free. I cut the skirt from a stained church dress (found in one set of hand-me-downs) that I couldn’t get clean and attached it to the coordinating tee (found in another set of hand-me-downs)! The green and brown dress cost $0.50 for the 1/2 a yard of $1 fabric. I already had the lace. I did splurge a little on the cupcake dress as it was for her birthday because I really wanted teal/blue cupcake fabric, but I still only spent $2! I already had the ribbon seen on the hem line left over from our wedding (uhum…definitely time to use it up!).

Pretty dresses don’t slow her down any!

I have always wanted to try making these! They are so adorable.
Hi, Victoria! Thanks for stopping by. Tee Shirt dresses are very simple to make. I’m considering posting a DIY blog post on them. Do you think I should?
