I LOVE a project!! i am always checking out new blogs for fun things that i want to re-create and my newest favorite blog would have to be MADE (there is a button for the site on the side :) ... anyway this girl does the most amazing sewing projects... she takes di clothes and makes them SWEEEET!! so i decided i wanted to try it... i went to di.. and got a shirt and transformed it into something pretty cute :) i think :) here it is!........
The shirt i bought for a dollar :).... don't mind the writing, it doesn't show in the final product..
the final product... a cute little dress to wear with leggings, and my favorite.... maddie's leg warmers! it's way too much fun getting her ready... she's my life size barbie :)
here is the close up of the "smocking".... its not really smocking.. it's called shirring and it's soooo easy!!
i had soooo much fun trying something new.. it's not perfect, but it was a fun project and cute for a dollar!

CUTE! I love it in gray!
Holy Cow, I'm way impressed that is super cute! Way cute. You should try to sell things like that on Etsy.com. People go crazy for recycled clothing. I loved it.
Okay, I am duly impressed and amazed at how you jump into things (shirring is not easy) and make something out of nothing.. seriously, that shirt looked like nothing, and there you have something for Maddie to wear... so as I said, something out of nothing!!!
Love it! I'm supper impressed with your mad skills! One day I hope I sew like you!
Wow... I've seen other people do things like this. It's so ambitious and THRIFTY. Way to go, you are so talented. I'm so sad for you and Anna to miss your walks together. I won't have anyone I want to honk at on my way to work.
Yo' mama told me to check out your site and I love it! That dress is soooo cute! I think you do have life size 'dolls'. See you soon sweetie!!!
Oh my word that is sooo cute!!! You are truly amazing. I was just telling my Mom how you see something and figure out how to make it yourself, you are too talented! I can just see Maddie in it with her warmers, how cute :)
oh my gosh, laura, you are awesome! that is so cool! you're so creative and talented!!!
I'll take it! I will even pay you $2! You would double your money! ha ha ya right I would pay way more! You are a domestic godess!
Seriously you are so dang cute!! When I grow up can I be like you? Thanks for the Christmas card it was so cute. We didn't get time to do one this year...may be next year. :)
Miss ya!
