It can be expensive to keep your kiddos clothed. We are pretty lucky. My parents usually buy most of the kids' cloths, which is a blessing. It helps us to save so much money. I try my best to get as much use out of my kids clothes as possible. This is easier for Miss O than it is for Short Round. Miss O's dresses can be turned into shirts, which stretches the use of the clothes out a couple of seasons.
Recently, I was digging into my pile of projects to start and found this tee shirt dress. The tee shirt is a 24 month shirt that still fits, but is just too short. This project was so simple. I just measured and cut fabric, then attached it to the shirt. I had to go back and make the hem shorter in order to give her some more mobility.
She is in LOVE with this dress! It looks so cute on her! After I finished this dress, I started going through her dresser looking for more shirts to turn into dresses. I found a bunch of 2T shirts and have already paired them with some fabric. I hope to get these finished for her soon. The great thing is that dresses are the one thing that she loves to wear, but her wardrobe is currently deficient in. These tee shirt dresses fill that need in a super frugal way!
