Easter Dresses
I loved getting a new dress from my mom made every Easter. So I am going to keep the tradition going:
2 Yellow Dresses and matching hair pieces made from 2 Men's T-shirts.
Total Cost: $2.00 (already had white ribbon)
Time: 1 Naptime + 1 Nightime (while watching a show with Luke)
Inspiration: Kojo Designs inspired by JCrew
Unplanned Extras: 1 Baby Doll Dress (she loved it) and 1 Drawstring Purse- not pictured (just had to make it when I saw the sleeve was already in a tube with a nice hemmed casing for the ribbon closure)
What I would have changed: How often my stinkin' machine cobbles even though I got it serviced for $80 bucks so it would have taken even less time, and smaller flowers on the headband.
Girls dressed + matching :). Mom feeling pretty good.
Easter eggs hunted.
Chocolate consumed naughtily.
Sacred Easter meanings discussed.
Family time never enough.
The only thing the Easter Bunny forgot was a matching tie for Dad.
Darn!! Next year she will get it right.
Did I say I love re-purposing?
These dresses are so easy. You just trace a dress folded in half on an old t-shirt. Cut it out. Sew it up without hemming (best part). Add the ribbon straps and belt. And then hand-sew the flowers on (made from a stack of 3 circles ruffled cutely).
I have a feeling there are more to be made.
