2 year-old reminder

My little princess just reminded me of something we made a few months ago out of cartons. These are really cute coin purses. You can find the template here.

Matching Shirts

I've been in a revamping kick recently, so I went through my garage sale pile for fabric I could use for the little monkeys of the house. I found two shirts that I am sad to say, go under the category of "no longer fitting".
I used the green for most of the shirt and the white ribbed shirt for the bottom and a little flower for some pa-zazz (do people still say that?).

The outcome was good. My oldest thinks that the flower is special and she smells it throughout the day. She can be odd sometimes. I have no idea where she gets that from. :)

Men's Shirt=2 dresses

I bought this men's shirt at Goodwill for $2! Sorry, I wish I knew how to rotate it, but...I don't. I'll have to ask my very talented friend Tammy to help me with that. Anyway, after a little cutting and sewing:

My oldest was too busy playing to stop for a photo, but the straps on her dress cross in the back. My little chunker's dress was made with the sleeves of the shirt and turned into a smocked dress. I added some matching hair ties with what was left over.

I love sewing!
