Here is one little project. Sis needed a little half apron for her school play. We went to goodwill to look for something we could use for a vintage looking fabric. After we thought we struck out... As we were leaving we walked through the aisle of ladies shirts and found this shirt. She loved the fabric so we bought it!
Then we came home and I got to work cutting and pinning....
And made her this precious little apron!!!
I was in love with how it turned out! I even used the long strips of the shirt with the button holes and buttons as the ties. And instead if tying, you fasten a button to keep it on!
I will post a picture soon of her wearing it. She looked darling :)
R needed a Patriot general Costume for a school project. He designed it out and told me exactly what he wanted. So we headed off to Goodwill to see if we could find a navy blue suit jacket that we could use. The only suits available were men's extra large size! So I got one of them anyway and came home to start cutting and pinning to see what I could come up with. I ended up shortening the sleeves and also making it a little bit narrower with a little cutting and sewing some gold brocade closures a little closer together. I added the red detail as he requested and also made the white sashes to go on top. He was so proud of his costume! What a cute boy :-)
