➡️ Men’s Shirt to Girl’s Dress: The Process!
Scroll down to see all the boring details No more posts about this I promise!

•
• {Step 1️⃣} Salvage husband’s old, worn-out shirt from the donation pile.
{Step 2️⃣} Research what style of dress I wanted to end up with, and find a good tutorial. I found this excellent free step-by-step tutorial by @tinytrendsla and watched it once all the way through before attempting anything.
{Step 3️⃣} ✂️ Print out provided patterns and cut shirt apart.
{Step 4️⃣} Freak out when hubby comes out and demands to know (as a joke) why I’m cutting up his “favourite” shirt!
{Step 5️⃣} Make dress according to the tutorial. It took me from 10:06am to 12:30pm one morning and that is very quick for a n008 like me! The finished basic dress features a fully lined bodice, gathered waist, and the original but relocated pocket.
{Step 6️⃣} ♀️ Find some leftover scraps and decide to try out ruffly cap sleeves (also known as “fairy wings to help her fly”). The cap sleeves are completely different in size... but OF COURSE this was erm, part of the funky asymmetrical design, and nothing to do with the varying sizes of scraps leftover Got some very helpful inspo and tips from a tutorial at @youandmie
{Step 7️⃣} Find out what embroidery design J would like on the dress. She asks for a rabbit catching flowers that are floating around in the wind.
{Step 8️⃣} ✍️ Sketch some rabbits and work out which one looks best.
{ Step 9️⃣} Start stitching! This takes two days to complete. Notice the four dandelion seeds blowing away... a little nod to her fourth birthday.
{Step } Find an old satin ribbon and sew onto pocket.
{Step 1️⃣1️⃣} Gently bathe finished dress in mildly soaped tepid water, wrap in a fluffy white towel, iron out creases, and finally hang out to dry in the wind.
{Step 1️⃣2️⃣} Meanwhile, grab some more scraps and make a matching hair-bow. Attach to old hair clip.
{Step 1️⃣3️⃣} Press dress again and hang up. Smile at it every time I walk past it
All done! Congratulations if you got this far

Ok, I'm trying this again. I had a whole description typed out and had to discard the post. Ugh.
If you saw my stories, you know I found this book at the thrift store and instantly knew what I wanted to do. I've always wanted to make a series of collages using the actual illustrations and text from beloved children's books. It truly is a ooak. This one is 11 x 14 canvas board collaged with vintage papers (the postcard is from 1908 I think), acrylic paint and found objects. I'm thinking of making it available on my market page. I think these would look so cute in a child's room or a nursery. What do you think? It feels reallyyyyyyy good to get back into my artwork again. Make sure to swipe to see closeups and texture!!!
